Greta Garbo's last production was Two-Faced Woman in 1941, five years before The Wonderful Life production. She retired from the screen at age of 35, after acting in twenty-eight films. And beyond that maintained the Garbo Mystique..
Have you seen the film and can you identify with any of the characters..
I'd be George Baily..
You sit around here and you spin your little webs and you think the whole world revolves around you and your money. Well, it doesn't, Mr. Potter. In the whole vast configuration of things, I'd say you were nothing but a scurvy little spider! And... [turning to his aide] And that goes for you, too!.. -George Bailey. It's A Wonderful Life
It's a Wonderful Life is a 1946 American Christmas fantasy comedy-drama film produced and directed by Frank Capra, based on the short story "The Greatest Gift", which Philip Van Doren Stern wrote in 1939 and published privately in 1945. The film is considered one of the most loved films in American cinema and has become traditional viewing during the Christmas season.
The film stars James Stewart as George Bailey, a man who has given up his dreams in order to help others and whose imminent suicide on Christmas Eve brings about the intervention of his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody (Henry Travers). Clarence shows George all the lives he has touched and how different life in his community of Bedford Falls would be had he never been born.
“I know these people,” McCain repeated to Hannity. “I’m in contact with them all the time. And he is not. He is not. He is not.”
So to be clear, John McCain claims to know Salim Idris and Khalid al-Hamad, both featured in the photos taken with him in Syria. Both of these men are both linked with ISIS, and both were kicked out of non-ISIS rebel groups for being “too moderate.” According to McCain, he is “in contact” with Idris and al-Hamad “all the time.” Why isn’t Senator McCain being investigated for his ties with ISIS members, since both of these men are in fact ISIS-linked?

Two Pine Technical and Community College (PTCC) students – Daniel Macey, 26, of Pine City and Nathan Gustavsson, 21, of Hermantown – have been charged with felony Second Degree Riot - Armed with a Dangerous Weapon, for their alleged role in a shooting incident at the Black Lives Matter protest in Minneapolis on Nov. 23.
Two other men have also been charged: Joseph Backman, 27, of Minneapolis with felony Second Degree Riot, and Allen Scarsella, 23, of Lakeville, who received five felony Second Degree Assault charges, for allegedly shooting five men on Nov. 23.
According to the criminal complaint filed in Hennepin County Court, at 10:40 p.m. on Nov. 23 Minneapolis police determined that eight shots had been fired near the Minneapolis Police Department’s Fourth Precinct building, where the Black Lives Matter protests were taking place.
They found that five male protesters, ages ranging from 19 to 43 years old, had been shot in the incident. The victims had wounds to the abdomen, knee, thigh and foot, and leg and back, and were hospitalized for treatment of their injuries.
Authorities believe that Macey, Gustavsson, Backman and Scarsella support white supremacist positions, and had visited the protest to make an internet video of the crowd reaction to their appearance, masked, armed and in camouflage.
Gustavsson, Backman and Scarsella are white, while Macey is Asian. The majority of the protesters at the Fourth Precinct building were black.
Precinct video showed there were four masked men interacting with the protesters in the moments before the shooting. Through the video, authorities were able to identify Gustavsson after his mask slipped.
Acting on a tip, authorities arrested Scarsella at a residence in Bloomington on Nov. 24. Numerous firearmswere found there, including a .45 caliber handgun which was consistent with the empty casings found at the site of the incident.
Authorities then viewed the contents of Scarsella’s cell phone and found numerous texts between Scarsella, Backman and Gustavsson setting up plans for heading to the protest on Nov. 23.
Gustavsson said in a text, “I know how to make big news or get them [the protesters] to disperse,” and “I have an idea to really stir s--- up.”
On the phone, authorities also found a photo taken at a rural Pine County location with all four accused men in the shot, holding guns with a Confederate flag in the background.
All four men have admitted in jail phone conversations that they were present at the shooting incident.
The case will go forward in Hennepin County Court. The minimum sentence for Second Degree Riot is three years in prison.
I think people are more likely to be religious when they grow up among fear mongering and lies..

Then what’s the difference between “ISIS” and “Deash”? Here it is: While "Deash" includes the word “Islam,” it does so for Arabs, not for us Turks. To put it simply, since "Deash" does not include the letter I, you avoid underscoring Islam. Or rather, "Deash" does not evoke Islam as ISIS [or IS] does.

WikiLeaks released a partial secret draft of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP. The 12-nation agreement is being negotiated behind closed doors, and the release is one of the few times the public has been able to read any of it. If passed, the TPP would have serious ramifications for a range of issues, including intellectual property rights, internet freedoms, and prescription drug prices.
