President Trump arrived back stateside from his very successful trip to the Middle East. The neocons are revolting, demanding President Trump make no deals with Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Iran. It was Barack Obama who sent Iran $1.7 billion in cash in 2016 as part of a settlement over a decades-old arms deal dispute. This included an initial $400 million payment on January 17, 2016, followed by $1.3 billion in interest payments. The cash, in euros, Swiss francs, and other currencies, was delivered via cargo planes because U.S. sanctions prevented banking transfers. Donald Trump didn't fork over a single dollar, in fact, he secured over $2 trillion dollars in investments to America. So why are the neocons revolting against him and didn't against Obama?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
