Re-Assess.
In poll after poll of Republicans, Mr. Trump leads among women, despite having used terms like “fat pigs” and “disgusting animals” to denigrate some of them.
He leads among evangelical Christians, despite saying he had never had a reason to ask God for forgiveness.
He leads among moderates and college-educated voters, despite a populist and anti-immigrant message thought to resonate most with conservatives and less-affluent voters.
He leads among the most frequent, likely voters, even though his appeal is greatest among those with little history of voting.
At a recent Trump rally in New Hampshire, women there described him as a candidate who would create jobs and take a tough stance on foreign policy. While much of Trump’s media coverage has focused recently on his derogatory comments about women, those female voters said issues like jobs and health care have won him their support. Although he has gained notoriety for castigating a number of individuals and groups, his supporters don’t seem to mind.
There’s a tremendous silent majority that politicians have taken advantage of. I mean, they have taken advantage of the people of this country long enough,” Trump told the crowd. “They’re largely incompetent, except when it comes to getting re-elected.”
Trump talked about the issues that people are asking for. Immigration is a serious issue including Anchor babies. Job creation, Trade and even level field economics, Healthcare over pricing and Special Interest groups. He is and will stay ahead for good.

Jimmy Carter
Carter was seen in his hometown of Plains,
Georgia, at his church, where he speaks regularly and leads bible
study. He said Plains has been a "haven" for him and his family.
The peanut farmer-turned-president, whose four years in office were marred by an energy shortage and the Iranian
hostage crisis, has redefined what it means to be a former president.
He and wife Rosslyn, married for 69 years, have dedicated the past three
decades to humanitarian work around the globe.
[helping the poor.]
"I wish I had sent in one more helicopter to rescue the hostages" in
Iran, he said. "Maybe I would have been re-elected," he said, laughing
as the room erupted as well.
Had he stayed in office for a second term, his vast services to the poor and the rest of the world may have diminished greatly. God works in mysterious way.

Kids Huh.
A family beach outing turned terrifying when what was thought to be a washed-up buoy turned out to be an active bomb.
"My children took their boogie boards down and we were going out to the sea," Kelly Gravell of Burry Port, Wales, said. "We saw a large object on the beach, so we thought we’d have a little look.
"We get things washed up all the time, so we thought it was a buoy. We never thought for one second it was a bomb."
The children, Ellis and Erin, climb on a barnacle-covered object at a beach in South Wales. Local officials said that the object originated from the United States.
Gravell told ABC News she, her husband, and two young children went to their local beach for a picnic on Aug. 12, when the kids noticed something wash onto the sand.
That's when, she said, Erin, 6, and Ellis, 4, began posing for photos with the huge metal ball.
"We were more fascinated by the barnacles on it," Gravell added. "My son was touching it and was knocking on it a little bit, and that was it really."
Kids Huh. Just a thought.

A Game changer
Donald Trump has won his party's trust on top issues more than any other Republican presidential candidate, and now stands as the clear leader in the race for the GOP nomination, CNN/ORC poll.
The survey finds Trump with the support of 24% of Republican registered voters. His nearest competitor, Jeb Bush, stands at 13%. Just behind Bush, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has 9%.
Marco Rubio, Scott Walker 8%, Rand Paul 6%, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina and John Kasich all land at 5%, Mike Huckabee rounding out the top 10 at 4%
The republican voters rejects the past 8 years of "opposition" and "refusal to do" "until we get the Senate, Congress, and the White House". A do nothing politicians are down and out.
Voters wants something done. Enough of "Ben-Ghazi, E-mail Server and Repeal Obama Care" .
Trump is standing on solid ground. He is the front runner for a long time. The tide has turned in his favor.
One additional issue I would like to hear about.
Healthcare runaway cost that is 2.6 Trillion dollars with minimum outcome and is increasing 4-6% every year. No one in the world has this system.

Kasie...*!
Kasie Hunt covered politics and Congress as a reporter for NBC News beginning in 2013. Before that, covered Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign for the Associated Press and wrote about the 2010 midterm elections for POLITICO. Earlier in her career, she covered the writing and passage of the Affordable Care Act as a health policy reporter at National Journal.
Hunt holds a bachelor's degree in international affairs from George Washington University and a master's degree in sociology from the University of Cambridge, where she was a member of St John's College.
She is on the question, doesn't move away from it, demand the answer and you can't avoid it. Ask Cruz, Walker ...etc
She may be the rising star of the Presidential Election dilemma of 2016.

The value of life
Two squirrels recently died in Yosemite. It was the plague that felled them.
Yosemite National Park closed the popular Tuolumne Meadows Campground through Aug. 21 in order to treat fleas in rodent burrows, officials announced Friday.
State health officials began investigating human plague in the park and surrounding areas after a child from Los Angeles contracted the infectious bacterial disease. The child had visited the Stanislaus National Forest and camped at the Crane Flat Campground in Yosemite last month.
The child was still recovering from the disease, which is typically carried by wild rodents, such as squirrels and chipmunks, as well as their fleas. Fleas can carry the disease from infected dead rodents to other animals, including humans.
Initial symptoms of a plague infection include high fever, chills, weakness and swollen lymph nodes, officials said. Plague can be fatal if not treated with antibiotics in its early stages.
Visitors were given precautionary information about plague following the child’s infection and the area was monitored, but the Crane Flat Campground remained because public health officials didn’t recommend campground closures, according to the park.
“Human cases of plague are rare, with the last reported human infection in California occurring in 2006,” California Public Health. “Although this is a rare disease, people should protect themselves from infection by avoiding any contact with wild rodents.”
Plague came to the United States via rat-infested steam ships from infected areas, according to the CDC. Los Angeles was home to the last urban plague epidemic, which took place between 1924 and 1925.

Married to avoid jail??? ....
Last month, Smith County Judge Randall Roberts ordered Josten Bundy to marry his girlfriend Elizabeth Jaynes as part of his probation for his involvement in a few with her ex-boyfriend. Otherwise, Bundy would be sentenced to 15 days in jail.
“[The ex-boyfriend] had been saying disrespectful things about Elizabeth, so I challenged him to a fight,” Bundy, 21, told KLTV.
Judge Roberts asked Bundy at the sentencing hearing if Jaynes was “worth it.”
“You do know one of the provisions to stay on my probation is you’re going to have to marry her?” Roberts later asked Bundy.
Afraid he would lose his job if he was in jail, Bundy and Jaynes set a date and got married at a courthouse. With the short amount of time to plan the wedding, some relatives were unable to attend.
Blake Bailey, an attorney who practices constitutional law, told KLTV the sentence would likely have been struck down if it was appealed.
Will See if the fights end. Just a thought

Brief...!

A White House staffer is facing assault charges after shooting at a Capitol Police officer using the cop's own gun after a lover's quarrel, police said.
The White House has placed Barvetta Singletary, a special assistant to the president and the House legislative affairs liaison, on "unpaid leave and revoked her access to the complex "
Singletary texted the Capitol Police officer around 2:30 a.m. Friday inviting him to her Upper Marlboro residence for sex.
After he arrived at her home, they “engaged in a brief sexual encounter” at which point Singletary started questioning him about another woman he was dating.
After he refused to give her his cellphone passwords, she allegedly pointed the Glock handgun at him and fired one round in his direction. The officer, who was not hit, then gathered his belongings, fled the home and called police.
What happened to smoking a cigarette to confirm satisfaction and end of encounter?
Just a thought.
