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."
THE BATON ROUGE RIVER CENTER
At this time, I have no idea if the event will be in the large arena or the theater.
You can bet they looked at the tape and that will not happen again. It would be hard to eject someone from there, but the people sitting around the next one will be looking for it. The big guy in the grey sweater may give him lumps next time.
Has anyone seen Morris, lately?
He doesn’t look so good. Bad, in fact. I hadn’t seen him since he left Fox.
Last year, Indian owned Silicon Valley company decided to hold my consulting payment, reason they told me as security so that I could not quit in between job. I went to CEO office and gave him verbal hell. They gave me check within 2 min and later I complained about them to Immigration, City Hall, Labor Dept. etc.
He’s had to have lost listeners, over this. I think all of the AM talkers who got their CRuz talking points memos/orders have to be losing listeners.
Ya’ll see this:

Not very christian.
How can he outright lie and get away with it?
I’ve seen a pattern with Ted, that he’ll lie if he thinks the payoff is worth it. In other words, if fewer know the truth than see the lie, it’s a plus for him.
I keep getting phone calls with an ID from Cruz but they hang up after a couple of rings..
I don’t have time to pick up the phone..
There must be something wrong with their system...
unless it registers that I have that phone on answer..
Where does Cruz get the title of such a great debater? He has lost every debate and in a couple of them came in third or forth?
He is long on words and short on ideas. He basically gives short stump speeches.
Cheap Labor Express/National RINO Review is in meltdown mode, over Trump.
I thought he’d wipe the floor with all of them in the debates.
Talk about overrated. I thought Christie was the best debater ever.
Well, if there’s talk of reparations more than 150 years later, what about me? Am I not owed compensation from the descendants of the liberated for the loss of my ancestors in the fight for their freedom?
I’ve seen a pattern with Ted, that he’ll lie if he thinks the payoff is worth it. In other words, if fewer know the truth than see the lie, it’s a plus for him.
That’s the Jeff Roe/Rick Tyler effect.
Lie first, cover later...if necessary.
Your spouse?
Use donotcall.gov to register your phone and later complain about them at same website and after 30 days inform State Attt. Gen. I did yesterday,.
Congratulations on your retirement! People ask me all the time how I like retirement. I tell them it doesn’t suck! lol
When introduced at the republican Jewish meeting in las eggs last fall DJT was introduced as a regular schmo with Kapotz They laughed at all his subtle nuances Very obvious that he was at home. No trying to fit in he just did. Eric and D jr said they were sent every summer for 6-8 weeks to work with their maternal grandfather who was an electrician and made less than $5,000/year. Fred insisted that DJT learn the trades and work along side his employees. The entire family is grounded and passes that on to the next generation.
Eric said he first went hunting at age five. With gramps.
I agree. I don’t listen to Rush any longer. From noon to 3, I listen to Jeff Kuhner on WRKO.
That “I believed Mitch McConnell” was a bold faced lie. He though he could do the vote and make up something to “excuse” his vote.
