MD Early Voter Survey: Hillery TRIPPLE DIgits Over Sanders . ...
I'm the early voter surveied, and I voted for Hillary ! So she's up 100% !!!!
Note: This was an opt-in on-line survey of a non-randomly selected panel of one voter. Singular. Margins of error do not apply to such polls, but our belivabily factor, calculated based on the principal of confirmation bias, is 99.99%.

Perinatal hospice care prepares parents for the end, at lifes beginning

The baby who would soon die arrived at 34 weeks, eyes shut, squawking. Her father cut the umbilical cord with a pair of silver scissors. A priest in blue scrubs sprinkled Holy Water on her forehead. A photographer circled the delivery room, capturing her last moments.

Panama Papers prove Mr. Sanders was wrong about a trade pact with Panama
The Panama Papers prove Mr. Sanders was wrong about a trade pact with Panama

I predicted that the passage of this disastrous trade deal would make it easier, not harder, for the wealthy and large corporations to evade taxes by sheltering billions of dollars offshore,.... The evidence, however, suggests that the truth is pretty nearly the opposite of what Mr. Sanders claims ... the number of offshore incorporations fell from 4,741 in 2005 to 835 in 2015. Most important, as of last year Mossack Fonseca appeared to have nearly completely ceased incorporating the least transparent form of company known as bearer shares
The Obama administration, backed by members of Congress, made it clear the free-trade deal... hinged on a separate agreement granting U.S. tax authorities more access to Panamas financial system. The United States particularly insisted on plugging the bearer shares loophole.
It looks like the Obama administrations diplomacy resulted in real progress, and that if anyones entitled to say I told you so about that, it would be Ms. Clinton.
