I was diagnosed with breast cancer for good 2 months and my husband and I have been married for 15 years . My husband lost the love and affection he had for me and decided to get another woman in his life. I was so devastated and restless for I was loosing my husband to another woman. I tried what I knew best to convince him not to take another woman that I will be fine but his family was so much persuading him to get a new wife. I nearly committed suicide for I felt so useless to everyone around me. At my place of work, my co-worker linked me up to a Doctor called CASERA that he can help me get my husband back and get me cured from the breast cancer for his works is effective and permanent. I contacted him via Email: [ relationshipsolutionhome@hotmail.com ] and confided in him and he told me that my case is different that as far I have made in contact with him, that my life will be a new dawn filled with smiles, joy and happiness. My husband came back pleading with me that he was so sorry for it was never his intention to leave me for another woman but that of his family for he was the only son of the family. I accepted him back and I told him that I no longer have breast cancer that i have been cured from it and today, we are so happy and I will never forget Doctor CASERA for helping me. All this took place just within 48 hours after I contacted him and the result showed up as he said it. This is his contact for anyone out there that needs his help also. E-mail: [ relationshipsolutionhome@hotmail.com ] OR Call/text: +1 (518) 460-6400. He can also cure diseases like HIV, AIDS, Herpes Virus, Cancer, E.T.C.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04229161166985822711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-18429533489537065782017-11-10T11:02:54.044-05:002017-11-10T11:02:54.044-05:00Additional not to chairman Mao.

SCHIFF: So the only person you met-- you only met with a single person from the Presidential administration and that was Dvorkovich?<br /><br />MR. PAGE: Yes, sir, again, being very careful of the distinction been met and meeting, yes.<br /><br /><b>STRIKE ONE!</b> He admits to a conversation with Dvorkovich.<br /><br /><br />MR. SCHIFF: Did you write in an email to Tera Dahl and J.D. Gordon, on July 8, "On a related front, I'll send you guys a readout soon regarding some incredible insights and <b>outreach I've received from a few Russian legislators and senior members of the Presidential administration here"</b>? Did you write that email, Dr. Page?<br /><br />MR. PAGE: I believe I did. <br /> <br />***<br /><b>STRIKE TWO!</b> I know chairman Mao you don't understand the English language so well, so let me help you out. "OUTREACH" means a form of communication in which persons <b>reach out</b>; this necessarily involves some type of human interaction.<br />***<br /><br />And it goes back to the point I mentioned with listening to speeches, listening to particularly Arkadiy Dvorkovich's speech, right. Again, great insights just like I learned great insights-- even though I've met-- I've never met Donald J. Trump in my life, I've learned a lot from him, and I got great insights from that, from listening and studying the information that he --that he's provided in public forums. That's-- that is the primary, primary source.<br /><br />(yes you double talking asshole, but I never heard you say that Donald Trump reached out to you)<br /><br />MR. SCHIFF: Dr. Page, you've testified under oath that you met with no senior officials except for a hello to the person who turns out to be the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation?<br /><br />MR. PAGE: Uh-huh.<br /><br />MR. SCHIFF: You've also testified that, apart from him, you met no one from the Presidential administration, and yet on July 8, of last year, you wrote in an email to the campaign that you had incredible insights and outreach that you received from Russian legislators and senior members, plural, of the Presidential administration. Were you being honest in your communication with the campaign? Are you being honest in your testimony? Because it doesn't seem possible for both to be true.<br />*************<br /><br /><b>STRIKE THREE</b><br />mmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-13147892663935979152017-11-10T09:37:21.127-05:002017-11-10T09:37:21.127-05:00According to the WaPo piece of 11/06:

But I really think you're the one who is leaving out certain facts here. Let me explain.<br /><br />Page wrote the following in a memo to staffers after the trip: <br /><br />In a private conversation, Dvorkovich expressed strong support for Mr. Trump and a desire to work together toward devising better solutions in response to the vast range of current international problems.<br /><br />It was for this that Adam Schiff asked Page the following questions in the hearing:<br /><br />Were you being honest in your communication with the campaign? Are you being honest in your testimony? Because it doesn’t seem possible for both to be true.<br /><br />Now, I'm never going to come here and defend Gail Collins. She's too far in the hole. But while Schmidt's phrasing is clearly poor (yes, "Russian officials" is laughably imprecise), I think that he's correct to point out that Page has contradicted himself on something important (how do you get that much information from a 5-10 second handshake?)<br /><br />Of course, it's worth pointing out that we don't know which account was an exaggeration. Page sounds like a first-class self-aggrandizing fool with a massive sense of entitlement. Just the sort of person to exaggerate his pull within the campaign (sound like anyone?) He's also got plenty of reason to underplay the meeting to Congress. So the reality is still very uncertain.Edgewisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975570824983584330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-46783212083551928622017-11-09T20:18:16.032-05:002017-11-09T20:18:16.032-05:00Take David in Cal's opinion of the Times with ...Take David in Cal's opinion of the Times with a grain of salt. <br /><br />In the past, he cited the Daily Stormer in support of one of his many racist fallacies - many of which he is in agreement with the likes of Richard Spencer.

Somerby can choose to ignore this article and focus on the dozens of articles dealing with politics and real news that must have been present in that day's edition of the newspaper, but he doesn't get to use this one. <br />It's an entirely bogus line of reasoning.
