The United States and Israel have reached final agreement on a record new package of at least $38 billion in U.S. military aid and the 10-year pact is expected to be signed within days, sources close to the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.

The Gautama Buddha promises me dukkha and I have always kept finding dukkha any how, every how.

She made sure I couldn't speak a single word of Russian and if I had to she made sure I did Sanskrit or Pali instead. She made sure I wouldn't support a single Communist and if I had to she made sure I knew a Japanese or a Briton instead. She made sure I wouldn't visit a single socialist country and if I had to she made sure I recalled Black Moon Zendo or Huffington Post instead.
Mothers...
