No, in the dark like all. Trump had motioned that he was going, as usual, down through the crowd but today SS wouldn’t allow and circled him tight. Ah, the things the SS could tell us about protecting a candidate.
Thanks Ray, if my memory serves me right, I do think that I saw that movie!
speaking of basketball.. LeBron’s tournament is this weekend in Akron for youth. Some staying at our hotel.. and interesting mix this weekend of young athletes and their parents, Young women with THunder Down Under on their minds and then the Temptations crowd. The rowdy ones are NOT the young boys.. it is the WOMEN for Australian Exotic dancers!.
A couple of documents missing to prove his citizenship Who’d of thought. ...../s
We might juxtapose the the title to “A Country on the Brink!”
Also a book by same title !
This isn’t the one I saw with comments. It’s possible the one I’m remembering with the comments was the one by the “Elisa Marie Sluijs,” the alleged Canadian neighbor. If I find it I’ll ping you on this thread. Meanwhile, here is Anna Tomerlin’s notes on FB:

Yes indeed. the Hoosier state has “long” been know for its basketball prowess..............
Sorry if this was already posted:
Trump will be in PA Monday at West Chester University & then on to Mohegan Sun in Wilkes Barre.
Documentary ME DO RE is next door. What a ball can do for young men’s life. I know it made a difference in my families. Coach McCracken may have cut dad from team before playing his freshman year, but he called him by name Everytime he saw him on campus. Worked out well dad graduated with honors. May not have if he was playing
No, during one of the Florida rally’s there were over 20,000 watching on youtube.
Another old FRiend it’s good to see still with us.
Talk of a future rally in Terre Haute or Bloomington. That’s from we the people not PEOPLE Of knowledge
Thank you! Nice being here! It’s great following Trump here with everyone!
I kind of feel sorry for the people who went to see him in Hartford, CT last week. Trump seemed a bit off, and only spoke for 30 minutes at best.
My husband and I saw Trump in New Hampshire on February 2nd. Fortunately for us he was on fire that night as well! He spoke for about an hour. It was a hassle to drive up and back from CT to NH, but we had a great time. :-)
What state are you from and I’ll add you to that car of the train?
Hubby served in the Legislature for 6 years, and in that time I had the misfortune to meet many of the miscreants up there in Augusta.
I will tell you this much, if the brain dead Libs knew what the Dem lawmakers in Augusta REALLY think of them, they would go into meltdown.
Wonderful story! I remember (a miracle in and of itself) as a youngster growing up in Chicago the great stories about Hoosier basketball from Their high schools and beyond. One of the story’s involved Indiana kids raised on farms that did nothing in their spare time but practice basketball......
PA
Got you
