Fayetteville is a city in Cumberland County, North Carolina, United States. It is the county seat of Cumberland County, and is best known as the home of Fort Bragg, a major U.S. Army installation northwest of the city.
Fayetteville has received the All-America City Award from the National Civic League three times. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 200,564. with an estimated population of 204,408 in 2013.
In 1783, Cross Creek and Campbellton united, and the new town was incorporated as Fayetteville in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette, a French military hero who significantly aided the American forces during the war, Fayetteville was the first city to be named in his honor in the United States.
Lafayette visited the city on March 4 and 5, 1825, during his grand tour of the United States.
MY TOWN, LAGRANGE, GA, IS NAMED AFTER LAFAYETTE’S HOME, CHATEAU LAGRANGE, IN FRANCE, BUT HE NEVER ACTUALLY VISITED OUR TOWN.
As you know, I’ve invited Mr. Trump to visit LaGrange, GA, as did John Kennedy during his campaign for the presidency in 1960.
WOW! 3 out of 4 wins last night. 79 delegates out of 150, (I was hoping for 80) and you'd think someone would say Trump did good.
Nope.
Right now you got this Lawrence O’Dell on MSNBC raging about how viciously evil Trump is, equating Trump in 2 Federal Fraud cases...2! with Hillary Clinton’s scandal.
You got this chunky talking head on CNN talking about how this week, "it’s really going to hit the fan with all the stuff about Trump’s sleezy connections etc."
Then back to O’ Dell, and he's still talking. He says that Trump PURPOSELY DOES NOT MIKE THE REPORTERS AT CONFERENCES so people won't hear the question.
I listened to the presser, at first they weren’t later they were.
Yeah, he needs to improve that, but to say he does it purposely? Really? Can you prove it?
Yeah, O'Dell, if you're going to start a lie, why not make it good, and report that you over heard this conversation:
Trump (before going on stage for the press conference talking to his aids). "Oh, one more thing, make sure that none of those pesky, despicable, 2-bit, scum bag, jerk @ hole reporters get a mike. I don't want the American people to hear their questions. Got that?!!!!"
Then you go back to CNN and the same thing.
Forget FOX, they've been in the tank for Rubio and anyone other than Trump for months now. Kelly Megyn, looking more and more these days like a cachectic ex-porn star, does her usual sarcasm when the returns come in, to the point that they're painting a picture that Kasich did well, and also that Cruz "remains on Trump's heels."
And of course, they're blowing up the Idaho win for Cruise, and there's no mention, nada, about Hawaii.
How many states has Trump out right one now? I think all in the south except Texas right. A New Yorker is winning the SEC?
Where were these fact checkers and vetters when Obama ran for office both times, or even now?

Post the funniest reply that you read today on this or any thread today on Free Republic
NC is Trump Country.
He will win the state next week. Its demographics are similar to other Southern states already won by The Donald.
Good morning! Time for another interesting day. Reading about what I missed while sleeping. Looks like DT got 3 outta 4 last night.
Good morning! Thank you for doing these threads. They are now a very nice part of my daily routine. You’re certainly up and at ‘em early.
With regard to the mic issue. Exactly how many times has her thighness even taken a question from the press? DT has several pressers a week.
Mojito in hand, made with fine Tanduay white Rhum. Grilled chicken breast, fresh salad greens and tomatoes with caesar dressing. Life is good!
Lost again.
So Trump is at 473 delegates, give or take. Over 1/3 of the way there. I was surprised about Hawaii. Somehow I thought little Marco would win that.
Just woke up in my chair. Fell asleep just as third state was coming in so must turn on TV to see results of last two. Think I’ll turn TV on and probably fall asleep in bed LOL
Yippee!!!
Need Florida and North Carolina to fill up that southern states map all Trump red.
I thought Cruz would. But i bet it was mostly the angry vote that went towards Trump. Hawaii has a pretty bad homeless problem. If anything it was the Trump hotel brand, its rated very very high there. Last i heard the Trump Hotel was rated the best overall.
I’ve been to Fayettville and Ft. Bragg many years ago, neither Cruz nor Rubio would have much support. Too much of the military there, so its going to be mostly Trumps as i see it.
I will not spoil the quiz since I live in Fayetteville and am retired Army.
Couldn’t get tickets - sold out - but I know a number who have and are going.
When on big island a couple of years ago (dealt with Japanese tsunami- an earthquake and flew in hellcopter into vulcano a fabulous trip). The people were very conservative and friendly. Every public meal began with prayer. I was thinking more of a Cruz win
No....no...no...
That question was posted for someone like you to answer. Please do, and tell us about the race. Actually, doesn’t seem like a race, seems like a cool jog with everyone in place. when it started, who is in it, etc etc.
1. Cape Fear.
My dad was stationed at Pope Air Force Base (on Fort Bragg) and he’s buried on the Fort. Lived outside Fayetteville until I was 8.
82nd Airborne Division doing their Division run. The run licks off All American Week on post. Done every year.
It’s a big run when all the Brigades are home. Sometimes during the past 15 years it was a bit smaller when a couple of brigades were deployed.
I can’t figure out who the cowboy is.....he looks awfully familiar?
