Feeling the love –
LSU quarterback Joe Burrow praised President Donald Trump after the team’s visit to the White House Friday, saying that the president showed everyone “so much love.”
Burrow’s comments were reported by Bloomberg reporter Jordan Fabian who tweeted the player’s remarks.
“Joe Burrow on Trump,” Fabian tweeted. “He showed so much love to everyone on our team. I don’t care if you’re a Republican, Democrat, don’t care about politics at all, that was an awesome experience for everybody.”

Yes brother Bill @216 and its the swing states where it matters most, who cares what his CA, NY numbers are. Be afraid all you socialist dems in the clown car be very afraid, all he needs is a couple of points in a handful of states and he bulldozes the sacrificial lamb put up by the socialist dems. Lets not forget the historically low unemployment for Hispanics and Asians too. –
Two polls show President Trump taking a third of the black vote. I doubt that could happen. But if it did, he would be a lock for reelection, given relatively large numbers of black voters in swing states.
Trump just needs the black vote to move toward him a little bit to tip swing states his way. Even Virginia could be in play if this is true.
According to the Washington Examiner:
Kanye West isn’t the only one anymore.
A growing number of polls show that President Trump is gaining the support of black voters above what any Republican president has ever received. Both Emerson Polling and Rasmussen Reports have it at about 34%, a stunning number.
And a new Zogby Analytics survey found that African American support is at the “highest levels of the year,” driven by a strong economy, historically low black unemployment, and Trump’s agenda to support minority small businesses, historically black colleges and universities, and passage of criminal justice reform.
“Not surprisingly, all African Americans do not hate Trump!” pollster Jonathan Zogby said in sharing his data with us.

Let the school kids eat more meat at breakfast and stop trying to force kale on poor kids who should be able to eat normal like everyone else. Forcing the schools to waste tons of money by forcing a cookie cutter unappealing, flavorless meal and not having options the kids will eat fails both goals of feeding kids with balanced nutrition and not wasting the money. –
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said the changes will let “school nutrition professionals have more flexibility to serve appetizing and healthy meals that appeal to their students’ preferences and subsequently reduce food waste.”
The School Nutrition Association (SNA), which represents school nutrition directors and companies that sell food to schools, has long said many of the Obama administration standards are unworkable and overly prescriptive, resulting in higher costs and fewer students participating in lunch programs.
“Schools and school districts continue to tell us that there is still too much food waste and that more common-sense flexibility is needed to provide students nutritious and appetizing meals. We listened and now we’re getting to work,” Perdue said in the statement.
The proposal also aims to make “it easier for schools to offer school lunch entrees for a la carte purchase, thereby reducing food waste.”

Speaking of gaffes no one can compete with the weird twisted babblings of our President. Here’s some recent ones from this week.
At a political rally held Tuesday night in Milwaukee, Donald Trump performed this role again. Yahoo News reports:
“I’m also approving new dishwashers that give you more water, so you can actually wash and rinse your dishes without having to do it 10 times – four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10,” he said, likely attacking Department of Energy regulations.
“Sinks, toilets and showers, you don’t get any water. They put restrictors on and now they made them permanent.
“You go into the shower — and I have this beautiful head of hair, I need a lot of water — and you turn on the water [and] drip, drip, drip. I call the guy, ‘something wrong with this?’ ‘No, sir, it’s just the restrictor’. So you’re in there five times longer than you’re supposed to be, you use probably more water and it’s a very unpleasant experience. We’re getting rid of the restrictors, you’re going to have full shower flow, full sink.”
During the Milwaukee rally, Trump also repeatedly mimicked flushing a toilet.
Our president also has a special obsession with dishwashers. “Remember the dishwasher?” he asked, as if it were a relic of the past. “You’d press it, boom! There’d be, like, an explosion. Five minutes later you open it up, the steam pours out … Anybody have a new dishwasher? I’m sorry for that.” Trump also told his almost all-white crowd that their “dishes will be beautiful” because of his presidency.

Using the new Blue Mob Math, lemme see, 15 primary cabinet members, 13.3% of electorate is Hispanic (per Pew), victimhood correction factor of 1.5
That gives you 2.9925 members. Let’s say three members of the primary cabinet. There’s a little wiggle room there for someone with a non-Hispanic gggrandfather or so. Easy peasy.

CHICAGO (AP) — Days after President Donald Trump killed an Iranian general and said he was sending more soldiers to the Middle East, about 100 protesters stood on a pedestrian bridge over Chicago’s Lake Shore Drive with an illuminated sign that read “No War in Iran.”
Some 200 people marched in the bitter cold near Boston, while a few dozen people demonstrated on the steps of Los Angeles City Hall and at similarly sized gatherings across the U.S.
Three years after Trump took office and millions of people swarmed to the Women’s March in Washington and companion marches across the country, these typically modest protests are often the most visible sign of today’s Trump resistance.

When President Trump first imposed tariffs on foreign steel in 2018, steel company owner James Howard didn’t approve.
“As soon as they even talked about a tariff, we were getting price increases, and they were rapidly going up,” Howard told FOX Business in April 2018.
But he’s since changed his tune.
“We’ve really had a pretty good year,” Howard said Friday in a new interview on FOX Business’ “The Claman Countdown.” “What I was speculating … all those price increases and stuff, it didn’t have a big effect.”

Given that it’s a “global march for women’s rights, climate action, and democratic and social justice”, and the central principle of Emerianism, they’ve probably decided that Trump hates women, the climate, and justice. No word yet on his Nazi tendencies.

It’s probably interesting for Republicans to find themselves not the establishment for the first time in some while. Go figure that the country is split between traditional America and some kind of coalition between multinational corporations, schools, iron rice bowl .gov types, and a ragtag army of people who just agree on what they don’t like (Emerianism).

New Hampshire Is Fighting Back to Defend the Electoral College
How would National Popular Vote states pinpoint a national tally with so much information missing?
They couldn’t. Any “national popular vote total” generated would be an invention of the imagination. Such a situation surely would give the Supreme Court even more cause to strike down National Popular Vote’s efforts to effectively eliminate the Electoral College without the constitutionally required approval from a supermajority of states.
James Madison once wrote that state governments should respond to “ambitious encroachments of the federal government” with “plans of resistance.”
National Popular Vote is not an “ambitious encroachment of the federal government,” of course. It is a group of states colluding to bypass constitutional requirements.
But Madison would surely find “plans of resistance” appropriate in this context, too.
