Good morning, SC!!
Thanks for that info and thread link.
So glad to hear that Trump delegates are fighting back against the Lyin Ted delegate debacle.
I just got a lengthy email, from Team Trump, regarding TX delegates and the upcoming state convention. Am reading through it, now.
Looks so yummy there. Mines will be Chorizo with Egg and Hash Browns. =)
Great idea. Makes it even more fun :)
I always use the answers to the trivia to learn something. ....just don’t know much trivia. Appreciate it very much. Especially in an area that is totally foreign to me
I agree, Jane. I haven’t participated in a while, but I enjoy reading the history, seeing the pictures and learning.
Amazing how many stars, athletes, musicians, etc. came out of some not so large cities and towns.
Interesting that this is just now coming out:
‘I thought she was drunk’: What witness to Trump campaign aide’s alleged battery told police ...
Partial from the original post on the thread:
“One witness told police his eyes were fixed on Michelle Fields, the journalist who claimed Corey Lewandowski battered her – and her actions ‘looked like a fraudulent slip-and-fall.’
Police in Jupiter, Florida released video of their interview with Michael Spellman on Thursday, along with a more formal statement that he wrote immediately afterward.
Spellman, the president of a glass technology company based in Jupiter, says on camera that Fields’ reaction to Lewandowski separating her from Trump after a March 8 press conference was ‘disproportionate’ and ‘bizarre.’
‘At first I thought she was drunk,’ he recalled.

Yum! I’ll be right over. LOL
Everything except the english muffins.
Minus the carbs, you have a perfect serving on that breakfast, lysie ;-)
Love your breakfast pics.
The fruit looks great, in your pic, nikos.
Gonna do some 20-15 this am (work 20’Rest 15.) at least something gets done. Just slowly!
You’re welcome, Jane. Yes, I was glad to see it, too.
Will look forward to your take on the letter you received and your thoughts on the upcoming TX delegates and convention. I’m glad Team Trump is out there working for delegates and us.
Seriously? That’s great, how much you weigh now?
That’s a great rotation! I might have to do the same....
I am amazed at how quickly just the junk mail amasses. We get so busy on some days, and can only quickly flip through the mail stack. Within a couple of days...there is a mountain....of mostly junk :(
I try to convey something about the town in the Trivia. EG, Watertown in the early 1900s was thriving along with many other up state New York towns. What happened? The democrats. And to hear them talk, they act like Bush is still in office. When they complain about no jobs, poor economny, who are they blaming?
Hillary vs Trump? Are you kidding me? The MSM and Karl Rove is telling me that she will beat Trump by 10pts?
We have morons running the republican party, and Trump has outed all of them. Cruz is too stupid to realize that he buried himself from any future in office. Instead of joining Trump, he’s fighting him, but now on a merit, he’s fighten to have a brokered convention and disenfranchise all who voted for Trump, the majority.
I agree I really don’t want to run against Bernie, Hillary Trump can beat, Bernie, just remember half this country voted for al gore....
Nikos - tsk, tsk.
Don’t you know that a guy never asks a woman how old she is or how much she weighs? Not sure but Mae West may have even said that.
Of interest.....
HOW TRUMP CAN LOCK UP GOP NOMINATION BEFORE THE CONVENTION

Good morning, wonderful FRiends! Nikos, thanks for the pictures, the write up, the trivia on the cities where rallies are held. Always beautiful and satisfying to see all the places and people that make America great. Counting the days when we can call our Donald President Trump!
I’m glad I’m not the only one! I get so sick of all the dang junk mail. Some of it looks “official” so I feel I have to open it; and, it’s usually a thing about getting a credit card or loan from them. Of course they include my name here and there throughout so that has to be ripped out or shredded as I don’t feel comfortable throwing all of it in the trash with all the identity thieves out there (maybe I’m being a little paranoid, but as a single woman, living alone, I try to be careful).
rats - thread pulled; reason: no link
