This is not good. At all. The suspect reportedly shouted “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great”) as he started stabbing passers-by in the town of Grafing, to the south-east of the German city.

Far Left Van Jones Warns Democrats That Donald Trump Can Win (About 14 minutes) I liked, “They had to remodel the house because the ceilings were not there.” Which comes at about 2:40 in. At about 3:50 in he basically starts talking about Trump’s gaffs which are not gaffs. I discussed Trump’s “Woman Card” gaff…

The video is a little saccharin for my tastes. But the point is a good one. (About 3 minutes)

I’ll be giving my Mother a call and sharing a Strawberry Ice Cream Cake with the Mother of my 4 children. I’ll be making a pot of coffee just the way she likes it to go with the cake.

In a list of 12 Signs That Trump Will Win the White House, The #1 sign is: Sign #1: Bernie Sanders keeps winning primaries, while Trump eggs him on.

This list is actually a list of reverse endorsers. #NeverTrump people. What I’m trying to figure out is this: what policy of Trump’s has these people so annoyed? Or what does he know that scares them? Or who owns them such that their owners would be so discomfited? And what ever it is – if…

Mitt Romney: Won’t Support Trump or Clinton, ‘Hoping That We Find Someone Who I Have Confidence In’ as Nominee. Well Mittens, the voters (a lot of them) will be looking for a Party. On second thought maybe you will. There seems to have been a hostile takeover of the one you thought you owned.
