Pickens, speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a hedge fund conference in Las Vegas, said he talked to Trump Monday and confirmed to the New York billionaire and presumptive nominee he'd support his candidacy.

It has good articles. Historical articles, Ancient western history.

Articles on opinion makers and politicians are dubious at best. Good if you want to know age, spouse, career path.

Bad things get erased overtime and mistakes become obligingly mitigated out of existence.

What is your POINT????

I believe the story is that PICKENS is the one supporting Donald Trump, not the other way around.

Boone Pickings is a wind farm/alternative energy scam artist at the trough of the US government. He’s a big climate change nut.

I’m going to send Trump a donation right after I donate to the Freepathon.

I don’t feel that it’s right to let Trump face building a billion dollar war chest alone. He’ giving up a lot for us. We’ve just got to help him help us.

My recollection of Boone isn’t exactly favorable primarily for the rationale he provided against fossil fuel via wind. But I can’t fault him for being an opportunistic capitalist.

Not to make excuses for Boone, but we face greater problems with the corporate fascism promoting gender disruption.
