Thank you for posting this rally thread today.
Have a Happy and Blessed Easter.
He is Risen indeed!
Office open this week in Griffin
Lots of signs up in the REGION!
Some people have no life (meaning the emailers, not you lol).

Who had opened office in Griffin?
Diamond and Silk explain Trump’s tax plan:
I wish someone would make me a breakfast spread like that.
Opened eyes. No tray of breakfast arriving. Wish didn’t come true. Lol.
The photos are great. Especially the one from the midnight Resurrection Service in Corfu. The traditional group photo of your group is from Corfu, also?
Here’s an article about Greek Orthodox Easter traditions:
Holy Saturday: Crowds are so big that churches fill to overflowing as anticipation mounts. Shortly before midnight, all lights are extinguished and churches are lit only by the Eternal Flame on the altar. When the clock passes midnight, the Priest calls out “Christos Anesti” (Christ is risen), and passes the flame, the light of the Resurrection, to those nearest him. The flame is then passed from person to person, and it isn’t long before the church and courtyard are filled with flickering candlelight.
The night air is filled with the singing of the Byzantine Chant “Christos Anesti,” and the “fili tis Agapis” (kiss of Agape) and wishes are exchanged. As is the custom, as soon as “Christos Anesti” is called out, church bells ring joyously non-stop, ships in ports all over Greece sound their horns, floodlights are lit on large buildings, and great and small displays of fireworks and noisemakers are set off.
Traditional Easter Wishes
Once the Priest has called out “Christos Anesti,” friends and neighbors exchange the same, saying “Christos Anesti” and, in response, “Alithos Anesti” (truly, He is risen) or “Alithinos o Kyrios” (true is the Lord).
Christos Anesti say: khree-STOHSS ah-NES-tee
Alithos Anesti say: ah-lee-THOHSS ah-NES-tee
Alithinos o Kyrios say: ah-lee-thee-NOHSS o KEE-ree-yohss
It is the custom to carry the Eternal Flame home and use it to make the sign of the cross on the door frame in smoke. The smoke cross is left there throughout the year, symbolizing that the light of the Resurrection has blessed the home. The candles are used to light icon candelabra, and are put on the table for the midnight meal.
The sight of hundreds of candle flames moving from churches to homes on that night is beautiful, indeed.
Once home, everyone gathers around the table for a traditional meal to break the fast, which includes the mayiritsa soup, tsoureki (sweet bread), and the red eggs. But before the eggs are eaten, there’s a traditional challenge: “tsougrisma.” Holding your egg, you tap the end against the end of your opponent’s egg, trying to crack it. It’s a game enjoyed by children and adults alike. Eggs are often made in very large quantities since the game continues on the next day with more friends and family.
Yeah really. We needed the bikers for trump in OC. You know they are around.

I agree. Already, we’re getting comforting reports from the ground. I think we should do this in the future when there is an off day, because, it gives us a forum to visit, and at the same time it warrants being on the side bar, because it posts the upcoming rallies.
Thank you for posting, sometimes I just need to come read with like minded people, Your thread is a breath of fresh air everyday...like you said who cares what they say...
I had never given it much thought, but living in CA we have seen these slugs for years waving the Mexican flag at different protests while the rest of the country was not privy the these activities...
Just wanted to let you know I am on the list twice. :)
I am 45 minutes east of Fort Wayne in NW Ohio. We go to Fort Wayne, Indiana all the time. I would go to this rally but I’m holding out in hopes of seeing Trump in Allen County, Ohio after he becomes the GOP Nominee!!!
Go Trump GO!!! We are counting on you!
I like the French toast bites displayed over the syrup.
I agree with your tagline, it didn’t make sense. Happy that Passover ends tonight.
