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’d consider it spam — because it is. Actually, that’s an insult to Spam. Which I like. Fried in a sandwich with mustard.
No, he didn’t say it. In my post I think I said that he “mouthed” it. He never spoke it.
And the way he talks reminds me of the best bosses I ever had during my career. Honest. Sense of humor. Never a question about where you stood with him.
Exactly.
You learn something from them.
I think with each win, he picks up more confidence.
He’s not only fighting the other candidates, the eGOP, the dems but also the media. And that’s the media from our side as well. this guy Murdoch is a scoundrel.
Oh Nikos look, another cupcake Freeper who thinks Jim needs help with some rule enforcement.
What is this like, the 10th one?
“Beautiful...but weird for sure.”
Oh wow, how interesting. Could it be a juvie? Seems a little early in the year for that, just wondering.
Some believe a cardinal is a representative of a loved one who has passed. When you see one, it means they are visiting you. They usually show up when you most need them or miss them. They also make an appearance during times of celebration as well as despair to let you know they will always be with you. Look for them, they’ll appear.
“Did he actually say the F-bomb? It’s been posted here that HE DID NOT.”
Nope. He lead into a sentence where it would have fit in nicely,,but he paused and sort of almost mouthed it and let the audience fill in the word with their imagination.
Thank you for all that you do.
-Go Trumo Go-
Who’s Trumo?
Completely off topic but, here’s another sign end times are near.
A camel was spotted walking around Limerick, Ireland.
I am on “do not call” list since 2003. Yesterday, I took action against Cruz campaign, reported to authority.
Lets see whether they will take any action.
Oops.... Old eyes.
GO TRUMP GO
Trump, when you’re typing fast, and forget to preview :)
I know you meant Trump. Just busting your chops. Easy to mistype the o & p as they sit next to each other.
Thank you for the beautiful way to think of loved ones coming to visit. But I do wish they wouldn’t attack and poop on the sideview mirrors of my car parked in the shed. I kind of get a different message from that!
You’re welcome.
Isn’t that the way it goes. Sometimes we’re the statue and sometimes we’re the pigeon. Hahaha.
thanks nikos....as usual you present a fun intro for the threads
anyone in LA going to rally? Anyone on site now?
Lines? Coverage?
Cruz, Rubio, Trump...what they said about Trade & Guns in their announcement speech. Stunning comparison.

In 2011, I believe he spoke in Las Vegas and really let the cussing rip, F bombs all over esp when talking about how China and others were screwing us.
Thanks for the Trump rally ping, PJ!!
PLEASE ********* Would they not let any idiots sit behind him in the audience !!! The smartasrse nut at the Greenville speech last night got on my last nerve — I wanted to knock his sunglasses off him and cram his pathetic homemade poster down his throat !!!!!!!!! *****
