Join us for tonight's Trump rally at Winthrop University @ 7 pm. We expect tonight to have a friendlier crowd than last night in Burlington, VT.
The Rally will be televised on Newsmax TV ( http://www.newsmaxtv.com/findnewsmaxtv/?ns_mail_uid=53827423&ns_mail_job=1648752_01082016&s=al&dkt_nbr=xcnwzw5n ) along with several other outlets. We've found the over all best to be the Fox Phoenix feed, which is HD quality and offerS an immediate replay. We like the young commentators too, who are 4 square behind our man, Trump. ( http://www.fox10phoenix.com/news-now )
AS the Rally starts I will post the best video streams. Keep in mind that the audio will always cut out, if any radio music is played to avoid the station paying royalties. This is almost always the case when they play Trump's Twisted Sister theme song, We're Not Gonna Take It Anymore.
There's been a growing following of Freepers who, in the past, have been watching these pretty much on their own. Of late, we're coalescing on a single thread for a lively discussion.
It's been fun. So please join us!
Many of us have been watching the Trump rallies from the beginning, either live or on replay. They are getting better and better, even though we've heard some of the same things over and over, (do you think he can name someone besides Carl Icahn for a change?) And what's making it even more fun is the excitement reflected in our postings. For example, many of us are talking about what we're preparing to eat and drink for the rally. For example, I'm fixin fresh Grouper, (pronounced "Groper" in honor of Bill Clinton.) I promise to not post any over sized photos tonight.
There's always an anti-Trump Troll or two who try to spoil our party, but we figure eventually in a couple more months we may all be behind the same guy. So, be cool.
Tonight's rally is in Rock Hill, SC @ Winthrop University. Here's a little background from Wikipedia:
LOCATION
Rock Hill is the largest city in York County, South Carolina and the fifth-largest city in the state. It is also the fourth-largest city of the Charlotte metropolitan area, behind Charlotte, Concord, and Gastonia (all located in North Carolina, unlike Rock Hill). The population was 66,154 as of the 2010 Census.
Rock Hill is located approximately 25 miles (40 km) south of Charlotte and approximately 70 miles (110 km) north of Columbia.
Succeeding cultures of indigenous peoples lived in the Piedmont for thousands of years. The historic Catawba Indian Nation, a traditionally Siouan-speaking tribe, was here at the time of European encounter. Currently the only tribe in South Carolina that is federally recognized, its members live near Rock Hill.
DURING THE CIVIL WAR
Shortly before the American Civil War began a census had been taken of the population in York County, where Rock Hill is located. Half of the district's 21,800 residents were slaves, integral to local cotton production. The 4,379 white males in the county formed fourteen infantry companies; some of the men joined cavalry or artillery units instead. By the end of the war, 805 of these men were dead, and hundreds more were wounded. Men from Rock Hill and York County were involved in many of the major Civil War battles.
Due to its position on the railroad, Rock Hill became a transfer point for Confederate soldiers and supplies moving to and from the front. Since there was no local hospital, townspeople nursed sick and wounded soldiers in their homes. Refugees fleeing the coastal blockade or General Sherman's troops also came to Rock Hill.
Beginning in the spring of 1862, local area farmers switched from cotton to corn in order to produce more food. Records show that prices in Rock Hill changed frequently during the war, reflecting both shortages and the inflation of the Confederate paper money.
Confederate General P. G. T. Beauregard set up a temporary headquarters in Rock Hill on February 21, 1865.[6](p41) He ordered the roads to Charlotte blocked to try to prevent General Sherman from reaching the city; Sherman ultimately went in a different direction.
When General Lee surrendered at the Appomattox Court House, it was actually a future Rock Hill resident who was responsible for waving the white flag. Captain Robert Moorman Sims, a farmer from Lancaster County, was sent by General James Longstreet to inform Union troops that the Confederate troops wanted a truce.
CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT
Rock Hill was the setting for two significant events in the civil rights movement. In February 1961, nine African-American men went to jail at the York County prison farm after staging a sit-in at a segregated McCrory's lunch counter in downtown Rock Hill. Their offense was reported to be "refusing to stop singing hymns during their morning devotions." The event gained nationwide attention as the men followed an untried strategy called "jail, no bail." Rejecting bail was a way to lessen the huge financial burden which civil rights groups were facing as the sit-in movement spread across the South. As their actions gained widespread national news coverage, the tactic was adopted by other civil rights groups. The men became known as the Friendship Nine because eight of the nine men were students at Rock Hill's Friendship Junior College.
Later in 1961, Rock Hill was the first stop in the Deep South for a group of 13 Freedom Riders, who boarded buses in Washington, DC, and headed South to test the 1960 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court outlawing racial segregation in all interstate public facilities. When the civil rights leader John Lewis and another black man stepped off the bus at Rock Hill, they were beaten by a white mob that was uncontrolled by police. The event drew national attention.
In 2002, Lewis, by then a US Congressman from Georgia, returned to Rock Hill, where he had been invited as a speaker at Winthrop University and was given the key to the city. On January 21, 2008, Rep. Lewis returned to Rock Hill again and spoke at the city's Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday observance. Mayor Doug Echols officially apologized to him on the city's behalf for the Freedom Riders' treatment in the city.

Mike Gallagher is fair and I think leaning to Trump.
Here is the recipe for Donald’ meatloaf:
Mr. Trump’s Mother’s Meatloaf:

1 Red bell pepper (fine dice)
1 Green bell pepper (fine dice)
2 cloves garlic (minced)

2 extra large fresh eggs
2/3 cup of seasoned breadcrumbs
¼ cup chopped parsley

CNN is running report that woman dressed in Muslim garb did nothing but stand silently and Trump’s supporters verbally attacked her for her religion and Trump’s security tossed her only because of her attire. I did not see it, only heard the crowd yelling Trump.
Donald J. Trump· 9 hours ago
Great even in SC tonight! Fire Marshall would not let everyone in— 5,000 turned away. Thank you for coming!
Wow—5,000 turned away last night in SC!
No matter how many come out to rallies, the people in charge say with a straight face that Trump won’t do much better than Goldwater did in 1964.
That supposedly happened too with Eisenhower in 1952.
Trump would win in a landslide. And so would Cruz.
Not just because both are perceived as commonsense conservatives, but also because Hillary is a terrible candidate.
If full berka, might not be a woman or a muslim, but a male agitator sent by a campaign to try and create a “Kodak moment” with “bigoted scary Trump supporters violating “human rights” of all to create chaos and riots. If not full berka, all still applies, except questioning gender. It appears to be Halloween and April Fools for socialists deployed to agitate trump rallies.

Post 9 has the grumps making meat loaf sandwiches with Martha Stewart
Thanks for printing it out
TRumps. Hate the new tablet. It has a mind of its own.
She was standing with a yellow star plus blocking people’s view
Missed that. I love meatloaf more than anything so am off to get the ingredients for this. Have no peppers in the house!
It looks similar to the one I fix in the summer when the peppers are plentiful. I usually do not buy peppers. Otoh often make a pepper filled meat loaf stuff the larger ones and freeze them for a quick winter meal
Mmmmm
Had to laugh on another interview when Malania stated she didn’t have or want a Nanny. But added she had a chef. There is certainly times that would be nice even as much as I enjoy cooking.
It may also go along with another interview that the elevator to grandpa and grandmas apartment is busy. Both of the boys have referred to him as Pops in interviews. Barron is just a year and two older than Don JR. two older children. He has 5. It has often been mentioned about the time they play together. Love the family feeling the entire clan evokes.
So I went to the site and was looking at one of the rallys. I am just wondering if I “register,” is that going to provide tickets?
If they’re not sold out it should. Let us know. Which Rally are you looking at?
The New Yorkers’ votes might finally count. Alas I am no longer among them for many years now.
