    Posted this over next door…

    Bill Mitchell hosted on his podcast tonight a woman who has attended 21 Trump rallies and collected 66 pieces of signed Trump swag. That got me to thinking about all the rallies. I’ve been keeping a calendar of them and posted a list of dates and places here a few months ago, but I never counted them up. One year ago, Mr. Trump held his first rally in Manchester, NH. Tonight (it’s not midnight in Alaska yet) Mr. Trump held his 209th rally in Houston, TX. He has put hundreds of thousands of miles on Trump Force One. He has addressed millions of Americans. He has been to all but (I think) 7 states (Alaska, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming). No one has ever worked this hard for the Presidency or taken as much abuse from the press as Donald Trump. And if you watched the Houston rally, you saw a man energized, fired up, on top of his game, loving his audience and being totally loved by them. It is truly an amazing time in our nation’s history. This movement. This man. Right now.

    Within moments the crowdsourcing wisdom corrected me; there was a rally in Delaware on April 22nd. So six states he hasn’t rallied in. I’m still keeping fingers crossed that he’ll actually come to Alaska before November. I can imagine a perfectionist wanting to hit all 50 states (and I don’t mean perfectionist in a bad way). I have tried to keep a rough tally of attendance at each event but sometimes it just isn’t possible. I wish the campaign would publish numbers. I suspect it will be 100 million by November. Praying that I can be one!

        Thanks, Stella. I really wish there were accurate numbers for the total attendance at the rallies, both those inside the venues and the overflow outside. Surely the campaign has such stats. But with the leanness of his staff, perhaps not.

        Last June, he only held one rally, in Manchester NH the day after he announced. No idea how many were there. In July he held three rallies. In August there were six, including the first huge one in Mobile on 8/21 with 30,000 in attendance. In September there were six, in October there were 14, in November there were 11, and in December there were 15, including the first time he did two in one day. A total of 56 rallies in 2015.

        In 2016 he seriously got down to work. 36 in January. 38 in February. 28 in March. 32 in April. 18 in May. The two today will bring it up to 13 so far in June. These totals do not include press conferences and policy speeches. And–holy cow!–the TV and radio interviews, every day, multiple times. The man is a work horse of astonishing degree. Ivanka frequently says he will outwork anyone in the room. He has proved that in spades. I didn’t have the energy at 35 that he has at 70. The only one I know that even comes close is dear Col. (R) Ken.

      I love Bernie! I left Home Depot in 2003, and I still carry the proud orange Home Depot culture I learned there within me. It’s how I treat my customers, and carries over into how I treat everybody. I learned things there on the job and in the extensive training at the Store Support Center in Atlanta that were so much more useful in business than most of what I learned in college, and it wasn’t just specific to HD, it was great business knowledge. Anyhow, yay Bernie!

    Crappy night last night, could not stay asleep as ‘Orlandoish’ scenarios kept playing through my dreams. Underlying theme played around the radicalization of pliable males by planted females. I couldn’t get that theme out of my mind, in both San Bernardino and Orlando we have females indicated in the direct radicalization of a susceptible male.
    We didn’t look at either female either time until it was forced upon us as we’ve been so indoctrinated to think nothing but good about females, especially ones from overbearing males suppress, opress and repress them. We live and breathe this while radical Islamists exploit it.
    Now we’re going to bring thousands upon thousands of female immigrants from war-torn Moslem lands in, with unknown backgrounds and ideologies, treating each and all as if she were Little Orphan Annie despite the fact they’ve been shown to be every bit as terror-prone as their male counterparts.
    I’ve already seen the first waves of ‘we shouldn’t let these horrific yet isolated incidents deter us from rescuing innocent refugees from far worse environment’ propsganda, and I expect it to,pick up as some public awareness of the danger they pose starts to bubble up. The billions of petro dollars we’ve sent to infectuous countries like Saudi Arabia are coming home to roost. The Saudis provided a number of the 911 hijackers, bin Laden, tons of money to spread the Moslem floods in Africa, the Mideast and Latin/South America – never mind inside of our own prisons…obe wonders how much of it is being used to buy off US pols and hasten our own suicidal importation of Moslems. Oh yeah, and those neighborhood mosques you see popping up, the Saudis have been financing much of their construction for decades.
    So as we go through yet another period of choreographed mourning wherein we dare not mention the name of the sinner, get used to it as more are on the way.

    Any inquiring mind will want to know how Hillary Clinton is so certain she cannot be indicted over EmailGate, since the FBI’s investigation remains open. Similarly, it deserves to be asked why Obama felt it appropriate to endorse Clinton to succeed him in the White House while the FBI continues to investigate her, since any Bureau referral in the matter will wind up on the desk of the attorney general, Loretta Lynch—who works for President Obama. The White House insists this is no way taints the case. However, since Obama is a constitutional lawyer by background, he cannot fail to see how this creates a serious conflict of interest.

    Here is an interview on FOX and FRIENDS Weekend, Tucker Carlson interviews Dan Gross who is the President of the Brady Campaign. I thought it was really good and actually pretty funny because Tucker tries to pin Dan down about the details and he won’t discuss them.

    Fact-Checking Snopes: Website’s Political ‘Fact-Checker’ Is Just A Failed Liberal Blogger

    http://dailycaller.com/2016/06/17/fact-checking-snopes-websites-political-fact-checker-is-just-a-failed-liberal-blogger/#ixzz4BwCfdjOo

    Snopes’ main political fact-checker is a writer named Kim Lacapria. Before writing for Snopes, Lacapria wrote for Inquisitr, a blog that — oddly enough — is known for publishing fake quotes and even downright hoaxes as much as anything else.

    While at Inquisitr, the future “fact-checker” consistently displayed clear partisanship.

    She described herself as “openly left-leaning” and a liberal. She trashed the Tea Party as “teahadists.” She called Bill Clinton “one of our greatest” presidents. She claimed that conservatives only criticized Lena Dunham’s comparison of voting to sex because they “fear female agency.”

    She once wrote: “Like many GOP ideas about the poor, the panic about using food stamps for alcohol, pornography or guns seems to have been cut from whole cloth–or more likely, the ideas many have about the fantasy of poverty.” (A simple fact-check would show that food stamp fraud does occur and costs taxpayers tens of millions.) …

    And lots more.

      The RNC can do whatever they want to do, that is the dirty little secret.

      Trump used to give me palpitations when he said stuff like “Reince is a good guy.” Boos from the audience, “No really he is ok.” Now I realize Trump understands that Reince is his enemy but Trump just doesn’t care. So Trump says stuff like that to poke the whole lot of them in the eye and keep them wondering just how wise to the game Trump actually is.

      Trump will be prepared for war if they try and steal the nomination from him. Trump will expose them. He is already saying that he may self fund if the republicans continue to be useless or antagonistic to his presidential run.

      Screw Reince, Romney and their horse Enid Mickelsen.

    A Revision on the Bill of Rights, Part III

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/justin-curmi-/a-revision-on-the-bill-of_3_b_9772428.html

    The main problem with the notion of self-defense is it imposes on justice, for everyone has the right for a fair trial. Therefore, using a firearm to defend oneself is not legal because if the attacker is killed, he or she is devoid of his or her rights.

    Justin Curmi (author of the article) is a graduate from Baruch College in Manhattan, New York. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and Political Science.

    Really I am at a loss for words. Baruch College in Manhattan should be stripped of its accreditation if Curmi is representative of the reasoning skills taught in its hallowed hall.

    Let’s shorten Curmi’s article, “It is ill-mannered, mean and just plain wrong to kill someone who is trying to kill you because you deprive them of their right to a fair trial”.

    Please pray for the protection of Quaterrius Manuel. It seems that black people and white liberals don’t think that his life matters even though he is black.

    I can’t find the original video but this is what has set their hate on Quaterrius.

    Woo Hoo, drink time! Survived the trip to, thru and back OUT of NOLA. THAT’s despite the drivers still driving like they got their road diplomas through a crash course at the A**hole School of Point and Aim. People do not know what a turn signal is, that a sign that says ‘exit lane only’ really means it, or mostnof the other things preliterate natives who’ve never had contact with an automobile know instinctively.
    Gun show was great, best one within 100 miles of NOLA, and filled the entire event center. GGS’s eyes are toll plate-sized and at least a thousand guns there have his prints on them major dealers are great at encouraging the kids by letting them handle the merchandise. In the World’s Greatest Food City hecstill wants to eat at Mickey D’s – then again he has the palate of a 9 year old, at some point he’ll develop some taste buds.
    Streets in the city are a bit better than they used to bevbut then they’ve put the money intonthevmain streets, ones by our house still look like Verdun after an artillery barrage. Sometjings seem to ve better, was at the house for two hours and didn’t hear any gunshots, then they might be saving scarce ammo for muggings, killings and the 4th of July.

    So…..(Trump Voice)…. my child attended the local gay function here in town this morning (and I’ve been urging said friends to arm themselves and BE AWARE OF THEIR SURROUNDINGS.) Anyway, one of the friends brought a new friend to the group that was wearing a pistol on his hip (OPEN) and I said, “is he *&^%$# crazy?????” “What?? Why??,” says child.
    Thus tonight’s lesson on open carry making one a target for numerous crimes/attention.
    Concealed – good. Open – stupid.

      Just like poker, never show your hold card. May I suggest, a pair of Colts, cross draw holsters, in front or small of the back. Colts might be heavy, then go with two 9mm with double stacked mags. Remember!!! Safeties ON when round is chambered…..
