jeanne of alton, iowa says "i'm writing this note due to a concern i have about some photos which were shared on sunday, november 20th's boradcast. there were some viewer photos that indicated an 8 year old was driving the tractor pulling a grain car alongside his father combining. i am a farm wife and nurse practioner and have a concern about any child youner than 12 driving that type of equipment. the reaction time and abstract thinking skills are not developed at that age. i don't apprecaite the assumed acceptance of this practice. please consider this in the future when sharing viewer photos. " i have your address, so we'll make sure a mug is on the way, jeanne. while i ty on farms across this great country, i honestly didn't think twice about airing it. we aired a similar picture earlier this fall, and it was a family i personally know. i didn't think twice about airing the picture becase i viewed it as refreshing young kids are putting in such hard work. but the bottomline is, it's ultimately their parents' decisions on what they let their kids do on the farm. in two short years,

by a guy named alton toby back in 1965. and different aspects and different segments of general mcarthur's life. and this is one of the first talking about mcarthur in world war i. there's a lot of things going on in the portrait here, the here, the painting. tells you something on the battlefield and american troops on the battlefield. americans are marching forward to engage in combat. and mcarthur was involved in several battles during the summer of 1918 and the champagne region, offensive in september of 1918, and then the argan offensive, september, october, november of 1918. this is probably late fall judging by the weather. you notice most men are marching forward. but you notice this officer standing right here with binoculars. that's general mcarthur. general mcarthur adopted a very distinct look because he realized as a chief of staff, he had a good staff and realized that to keep his men's moral up. cope with what's going on and even sometimes to be there to make a quick battlefield decision if necessary. he had

the say hayes the closest thing to general george alton that we have and it's about time. my people over there are probably saying, you weren't supposed to do that. >> he wasn't. the trump senior adviser, kellyanne conway says she had no idea that was glowing to happen but says it's all good. the decider will decide. general mattis would be the first career officer to head up the pentagon since just after world war ii. more on his background later. the general needs more than just the senate confirmation to get the job. under's law a nominee for defense secretary must be owl of the military for at least seven years, the idea-for-civilian control of the military. all been the way. retired general mattis, retired three years ago so congress has to give him a waiver, and then the north dakota senator on the left here. she told reporters she had no idea what the meeting was about but if the senator were to take the job with team trump there would be a special election to replace her. north dakota is a very red state so analysts say her loss would give the republicans a chance

the death of alton sterling in baton rouge shocked a the lot of people, caught on surveillance video.nking about how that happened. philando castilo killed not long after that. >> of course, that's freddie gr gray. >> tieing into the freddie gray situation. the aftermath of the freddie gray trials up the road in baltimore. all six acquitted with no convictions which left a bitter taste in a lot of people's mouths. they said justice was carried out but according to the way laws are written right now. they say lost on this is the fact a person died. they feel not enough attention was paid to freddie gray's death. number two was the flint water crisis. people are saying that, you know, we're thinking about the holidays right now, those people are still dealing without good water in that city. and they say, you know, why are people not paying attention to the fact that this is as important as the flooding in louisiana, or some of the other dissasters that the government has responded to? number one, at the top of the list, the election of 2016. listeners were telling me it's hard to squar

and again county accident is near alton toddle road. the driver did not survive the accident.e trying to load the truck and it will be there for a while. i like to move to the map of san francisco's problem. this would be a gravel spill. the northbound 280 connector ramp to the southbound 101. a gravel spill is affecting traffic. please give yourself plenty of extra time. we are looking at the bay bridge toll plaza, that is backed up. this backed up -- this backup is looking to get a little bit lighter. it is backed up to the middle of the parking lot. it's about a 15 minute delay. what spring and steve. >> thank you. we have very cold temperatures. thank you for all that information. i think that is 18 near lower lake. but there are many 20s for some. although, we are beginning to bounce off these morning lows. the very cold. i don't know, it felt colder sunday but it may have felt colder to you on sunday. and, the fountain is frozen. i can see that. >> and, that is cold up there. sabrina, a freezing 29. and i don't ever remember being so cold. >> people have short term weath

if alton wants to avoid a race to the bottom, that to me suggests uh-oh, we'd better be very careful about doing this because if people who don't like tax competition want that approach, that worries me a lot. by the way, i don't want to get into technical boring tax things, but this is a destination-based system which is the exact same thing that underlies the so-called streamlined tax proposal, in other words the internet sales tax cartel that state governments want because they don't want tax competition. brady's plan is great. but this is a very new different thing. i think we need to think about whether or not that would be good in the long run and then two final points that are political. when you do a destination-based system, in effect, the goal is to maximize the taxes paid by americans and having nothing tax levied on foreigners. politically, that doesn't make sense. so i sort of wonder about it. the other political thing i wonder about, normally all the things being talked about in these various plans, lower rates, less double taxation, territority, these are things the bu

when you mentioned alton, you thought of my colleague rebecca powell, he's the most active members of this place. if you are as active in the parliament as she is in this chamber, you are taking a very active and conscientious interest indeed. i'm going to make one last effort in this debate to attract a speaker from northern ireland. northern ireland? yes, the young woman towards the back, yes . >> thank you mister speaker. my name is ever ready and i represent the stones. our nhs is an important service and we should be able to pass this point of delivery but the attitude is not the only service that is assessing cost, what about our fire service, our faith service, we cannot fund these facts that are dominating our public services . what i have created is very important from the nhs, we must fund our public services we expect them to work. prior to this we have assessed the public services and we don't put any money into them. oh yes, to my like these in england, i do expect funding for the nhs but today's , think twice about our public services as well. thank you. >> thank you ver

does exist and i think that's what's happened with these films of walter scott or philando castile or alton sterling. and that's shocked the conscience and made people want to understand more about what is going on and it doesn't just stop at policing, it goes deep into the system as a whole. finally there's an ideological convergence that folks on the right, whether they're evangelical or libertarian or fiscal hawks. i think this is mostly at the elite leader level, i'm not entirely convinced that the folks in the grass-roots on the right are fully owning the need and desire to change the system but they have joined with the progressive grass-roots in calling for change and that is a phenomenon in and of itself but i think it makes more people curious because given what happened in washington and the state of our political discourse there is what i sometimes call a man bites dog element to that story where people think, what? conservatives and progressives are actually aligning together progressives are actually aligning together on something? so this is a paradoxical moment. huge problem,
