question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jas Boothe is Positive . And there's one more story from the White House we want to focus on now. Earlier in the week  we learned that the president has asked the Pentagon to look into staging a military parade. It seems intended as a celebration of the military and a demonstration of military might. So we thought  who better to ask about this than the people who served in uniform and whose service is being honored? And where better to talk about this than in the Barbershop  because that's where we talk to interesting folks about what's in the news and what's on their mind? So joining us today is  Jas Boothe .  She  served for 16 years in the Army and the Army Reserves.  She  served in Kosovo  among other assignments. As  she  prepared to deploy for Operation Iraqi Freedom  though   she  was diagnosed with cancer.  She  was eventually discharged. And  she  now runs Final Salute Inc. That's an organization that helps homeless women veterans  as  she  once was.  She 's also the mother of a son serving in the Air Force and is the wife of a former Marine. Major  thank you so much for speaking with us.
PLENZLER: Yeah  I have concerns mostly around the intent and the impact of the event  plus the cost. I agree with  Jas  on that. And  you know  our national military culture  we have parades where we roll out the active duty when it's a victory parade. And the war in Afghanistan is still going on. And the war in Iraq and Syria is still going on. So  I mean  we're nowhere near the end of those two conflicts. And it may go on for some years now.
MARTIN: And what about that   Jas ? I mean  one of the things that was striking to me is that a number of the people talking about this  particularly some of the millennial era - millenniums  millennials  rather - who have been - who are very active on social media  and one of their arguments was that this kind of conjures up the image of authoritarian  you know  governments like  you know  North Korea. You know  obviously  North Korea  that these huge displays of might are kind of a signature - Venezuela  Russia. I'm going to ask you the same thing - what Sherman's point is. What if - what about something that says  I respect and appreciate you?
MARTIN: OK. Well  as we get closer  we'll call you back and see how you all feel then. That's Sherman Gillums Jr.  Marine veteran  chief strategy officer for American Veterans  AMVETS. Joe Plenzler  another Marine veteran  director of media for The American Legion. Jas Boothe  former veteran  founder of Final Salute. We want to emphasize they're all speaking for themselves. But thank you all so much for coming. And  if I may - and I understand it's controversial - thank you for your service.
answer:
yes


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rand Paul is Positive . The Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan spending bill Friday morning  but not before the federal government shut down when Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) delayed the vote past midnight to complain about the budget deficit. It was the second government shutdown in less than three weeks.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Feb. 8 spoke on the Senate floor against a bipartisan budget deal and delayed a vote on the measure. (U.S. Senate)
Then  as an expected vote approached in the Senate   Paul  began to throw up roadblocks  demanding a vote on  his  amendment that would demonstrate how the two-year budget deal breaks past pledges to rein in federal spending.
GOP leaders refused to allow  him  to offer the amendment  arguing that if  Paul  got an amendment vote  many other senators might want one  too.  Paul   in turn  refused to allow the vote to go forward  making use of Senate rules that allow individual senators to slow down proceedings that require the consent of all.
“I can’t in all good honesty  in all good faith  just look the other way because my party is now complicit in the deficits ”  Paul  said on the Senate floor as evening pushed into night.
 Paul  objected after a visibly irritated McConnell tried to move to a vote. Then  Paul  launched into a lengthy floor speech deriding bipartisan complicity on deficit spending while the country goes “on and on and on  finding new wars to fight that make no sense.” The senator direly predicted a “day of reckoning ” possibly in the form of the collapse of the stock market.
As the hours ticked on   Paul  repeatedly refused to consent to allowing the vote to happen  as lawmakers and aides of both parties grew increasingly annoyed at  him . Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.)  leaving the floor after an unsuccessful attempt to curtail  Paul ’s standoff  called the gambit “grossly irresponsible” and said that leaders would not entertain  his  demand for a vote.
Senators of both parties were left fuming  with most of their ire directed toward  Paul .
“ He  has mastered the art of ticking off  his  colleagues ” said Sen. Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.).
“It’s a colossal waste of everybody’s time ” said Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.). Of  Paul   Thune said  “He never gets a result.”
 Paul himself  made no apologies as  he  delivered one floor speech after another  casting  himself  as a lone defender of fiscal austerity  despite having voted in December for a tax bill that added at least $1 trillion to the debt.
answer:
yes
