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.
“I refuted a post of his, because he was WRONG and he went completely NUTSO on me; made it VERY personal.”
Really? Wow. Good for you for standing up. I’ve never been a Levin fan. Sorry. I think he is full of himself.
Americans have been brow beaten into conforming to the blasted PC crap and no longer know what a REAL man should be like; sadly.
I think it was with Newsmax. I have to go to another stinkin’ business dinner...
Please keep the fires burning for me... as I’ll be thinking of my friends....I’ll check my FR emails...
Tomorrow’s Trivia is going to be very informative about voting in the SC primary!!! So pay attention....
Okay... You’re taking this out of context. You have to scroll back and see how that thread started. I didn’t start it...
LOL...I don't care WHO someone is or imagines himself/herself to be......if a person says/posts something that is inaccurate/wrong, I WILL refute it, IF and WHEN I am positive that I know the facts. That is how I was brought up. We would have debates at the dinner table and by GOD...you'd BETTER know what you were talking about, or my father wouldn't let you talk the rest of the meal. :-)
Oh and I've been doing that since I was all of 10. LOL
SPOT ON !
Mustve been before my time. What was his handle?
When Cruz can put 12,000 people in an arena to hear him speak in SC
I'll start worrying about Cruz in SC.— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii)

YUCK, another dinner and missing another rally ? BOO!
You betcha...we'll keep your seat warm and empty and waiting for your most welcome return!
Today's trivia was too easy. :-(
Rush is dated in his thinking and needs to listen to someone other than his holy roller brother or that maniac Levin. “Conservative” is a meaningless description thanks to opportunists like McConnell, Boehner and all the other phonies that have used that word to manipulate voters. No mas. Cruz? ....I will never vote for him.
It was long ago; more than a decade ago.
He's a JERK !
—> What was his handle? <—

holdonnow
LOL....so true ! :-)
DITTO all of that!
That day, half will end up in mental hospital.
Thank you all for responding. I am going to treat it as span, which is what it is. The thing that really bothered me is this email address is a private one.
My attitude toward Cruz has changed. He was 2nd on my list of choices.
Looks like the last time he posted was about 2 years ago. No major loss; listened to his show once for about 15 minutes some years back. Decided he was a blowhard and not worth my time.
Hello, all!
How is our happy band of warriors tonight?
Little more than 90 minutes to go!
Yeah, well, Teddy was number one on my list. Then TPA came along. He dropped off my list completely.
Unfortunately there is always the possibility that he’ll be picked up as VP. Sigh. Guess I’ll just have to pray for DT’s good health.
He did the same with two of our private emails.
CReepy, I say.
