'You write a story that has Trumps name in it-with the word rape-& I'm going to mess your life up'

We may have hit peak Trump with these insane threats from his spokesman:

Look at this woman bravely fighting the existential pain of receiving unearned handouts

Finland Gives Every New Mother A Special Gift Box For Her Baby. What’s Inside Is Brilliant.

“There’s a cloth diaper, and a towel, but the rest is almost all clothing in various styles and forms, all gender-neutral. The bottom of the box is also a mattress, so the baby is able to use it as a bed at the beginning of her life. All of the clothes are very high quality, and a good chunk of what came in the box was made in Finland or by Finnish companies.”

Every woman who is expecting a baby in Finland gets something special delivered to their home to help when the baby arrives. Regardless of income or anything else, the mothers get a “maternity box” for free.

The Finnish government began providing mothers with these maternity kits back in 1938 in an attempt to help lower the infant mortality rate and it worked! Today Finland has one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world.

The box includes everything a newborn baby will need. Even the box itself doubles as a crib, with a mattress on the bottom.

Expectant mother, Felicia, recently got a box and shared with Reshareworthy.com what was inside her box. She explains that every mother in Finland is eligible to get this box after 154 days of pregnancy. All they need to do is visit a doctor, fill out a basic form and submit a certificate of pregnancy from her healthcare provider

NRA Emergency Response

July 28, 2015

Let us remember the pre-clown car Trump:

On December 19, 2002, on the recommendation of the Manhattan District Attorney, the convictions of the five men were overturned. Raymond Santana spent five years in prison for a crime he did not commit.

The investigation of the convictions of these five teenagers has raised questions regarding police coercion and false confessions, as well as, the vulnerability of juveniles during police interrogations.

Obama: If I Ran for a Third Term, I Could Win

U.S. AFRICAN UNION

Obama: If I Ran for a Third Term, I Could Win, "But I can't"

Maya Rhodan @m_rhodan 8:15 AM ET

U.S. President Barack Obama delivers a speech to the African Union on July 28, 2015, in Addis Ababa.

President Obama said that if he could run for a third term he thinks he would win, while calling for African leaders to adhere to term limits during a historic speech before the African Union.

“I actually think I’m a pretty good president. I think if I ran, I could win. But I can’t,” Obama said in Ethiopia on Tuesday. ” There’s a lot that I’d like to do to keep America moving, but the law’s the law.”

President Obama addressed his third term viability while calling on African leaders to step aside when their terms end on Tuesday. During his speech, the first by an American president before the African Union, Obama said when a leader “tries to change the rules in the middle of the game” in order to stay in office it puts a nation’s stability and the future of Democratic progress across the continent at risk. Obama specifically noted recent elections in Burundi, where President Pierre Nkurunziza won a third term. The United Nations has said those elections occurred in an environment that was not “not conducive for an inclusive, free and credible electoral process,” according to the Associated Press.

” The point is, I don’t understand why people want to stay so long. Especially, when they’ve got a lot of money,” Obama said Tuesday, during the final stretch of his historic trip to two African countries. “And sometimes you’ll hear a leader say ‘I’m the only person who can hold this nation together.’ If that’s true, then that leader has failed to truly build their nation.”
