Thursday, February 11, 2016: GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump will hold a campaign rally in Baton Rouge, LA at the Baton Rouge River Center. The event is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM CST.
As the "Capital City", Baton Rouge is the political hub for Louisiana, and is the second-largest metropolitan city in the state, with an estimated population of 228,895 as of 2014. The metropolitan area surrounding the city, known as Greater Baton Rouge, had a population of 820,159 people as of 2013.The urban area has around 594,309 inhabitants.
HOW DID BATON ROUGE GET ITS NAME?
The French name le baton rouge ("the red stick") is the translation of a native term rendered as Istrouma, possibly a corruption of the Choctaw iti humma ("red pole") Andre Joseph Penicaut, a carpenter traveling with d'Iberville, published the first full-length account of the expedition in 1723. According to Penicaut,
"From there [Manchacq] we went five leagues higher and found very high banks called ecorts in that region, and in savage called Istrouma which means red stick [baton rouge], as at this place there is a post painted red that the savages have sunk there to mark the land line between the two nations, namely: the land of the Bayagoulas which they were leaving and the land of another nation—thirty leagues upstream from the baton rouge named the Oumas."

At this time, I have no idea if the event will be in the large arena or the theater.
Just got back from taking cousin to Indy VA. This was the second time I’ve made trip with him and am even more impressed than last time. We went for two tests but dr order an X Ray and more blood work after seeing him.
ALL Results were finish and recorded before he left one area for another.
Were all veterans treated with the respect and care I witnessed today.
IU med school is next door and patients who need their expect facilities move between the two institutions with no seams.
Hey, hey....it’a always a GREAT day...when there’s a Trump rallaay.
Hee hee.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei calls Trump and tells him, “Donald, stay out of the race for President, because last night I had a fantastic dream. I could see America, the whole beautiful country, and on each house I saw a banner.”
>>
>> “What did it say on the banners?” Trump asks.
>>
>> Khamenei replies, “UNITED STATES OF IRAN.”
>>
>> Trump says, “You know, Ali, I am really happy you called, because believe it or not, last night I had a similar dream. I could see all of Tehran. The city was more beautiful than ever and on each house flew an enormous banner.”
>>
>> “What did it say on the banners?” Ali asked.
>>
>> Trump replies, “I don’t know. I can’t read Hebrew.”

OK, that’s funny right there...
Oh good, thanks. Didn’t have time today to do anything. Took me all day just to change a moem faucet cartridge! Never by a plastic one!
Our childhood were so similar. Had to plead my case just to visit a neighbor. But it truly established critical thinking and analysis.
Just wonder whose plant he was. What a piece of trash — sitting there at times straining like he was trying to defecate. If I had been sitting beside him I would have kicked the crap out of him.
“Make America Great Again” - out.
“VOTE FOR TRUMP - VOTE FOR AMERICA” -IN
Dern faucets with dern plastic cartridges :(
His address is in the “do not receive email from this address” now.
Yes that was really CReepy!
TED dropped off my list when he said “I trusted Mitch McConnell”.
DUH !!!
I grew up on a farm, at age 16 I worked for a farmer custom combining in Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, SD and ND, laid rails between a coal mine and power plant, worked in a pool hall, worked in construction of grain elevators and finally a 30+ yr. career at UPS. I’ve LIVED around salty language! lol
I do a pretty good job controlling my language but it can come out when I get angry. I have a hard time posting on threads about politics.:)
Trump said during an interview at the ‘88 GOP convention that he relates best with the cab drivers and blue collar workers. I believe him. He’s a “blue-collar kind of guy”.
I am soon to retire from my 40+ year professional career w/ big (yuge) companies.
I never aspired to climb the corporate ladder.
I always felt more comfortable with the guys on the loading dock
than I did with the guys in the corporate office.
LOL!!
Got to love it!
Yep, he comes across as a regular schmo who happens to be a great businessman.
Republicans only have two choices, they can win ugly or lose graciously. They would all rather be gracious than ugly.
Look how aligned he is with Mitch, now.....Midge’s attorney is heading up one of the newest proCruz/antiTrump PACs.
Birds of feather, and all.
Anyone reading the stuff posted by Dick Morris and others about the shake up at FOX, with Murdoch expecting his people to prop up Rubio? This fully explains what I saw the night before the Iowa with Luntz’ focus group that was totally in the tank for Rubio.
It resulted in a poorly written post by the next morning that called out Iowans for being superficial and cowardly.
I was right. It takes courage to lead. Trump has the courage.
Sounds like your Ailes out of the picture. YOu have BOR and Kelly Megyn at odds, and you have a definite slant toward’s Rubio’s campaign.
This is good, because the longer these turkey’s stay in, the more likely Trump will win.
;-)
I am done with Levin. I don’t know what he was thinking by turning his show into an unending Cruz infomercial. I refuse to listen to him again. I guess he doesn’t care about alienating listeners.
LOL.
