Nikk posted the video of REC from last night
Info regarding Ferry Point. One thing that was interesting - there is a 9/11 Living Memorial Forest - trees were donated by the Prince of Monaco.

Cruz is the smart@ss over achiever con guy, who raises his hand in class all the time to brown nose the teacher. He probably took the erasers out to dust off when he was in grade school.
I’m beginning to see a wise guy phony here.
Why would your daughters shun you? It so obvious I’m embarrassed.
Newt is on Outnumbered now. Listening for a minute and then I need to get busy.
"Voter disenfranchisement is not merely part of the Cruz strategy—it is the Cruz strategy."
"The great irony of this campaign is that the “Washington cartel” that Mr. Cruz rails against is the very group he is relying upon in his voter-nullification scheme."
"...I work closely with the chairman of the Republican National Committee and top GOP officials to reform our election policies. Together, we will restore the faith—and the franchise—of the American people."
"Let us make Colorado a rallying cry on behalf of all the forgotten people whose desperate pleas have for decades fallen on the deaf ears and closed eyes of our rulers in Washington, D.C."
Diamond and Silk posted a similar vid from the other side of the room.
Saw it on Twitter last night.
Hilarious!
Go away Calgary Ted...No one CARES!
That can't work unless the race is limited to two people from the get go.
The distance between Trump and Cruz in this race, and the closeness that Trump has to a simple majority of delegates results in exactly what you say - Trump should get the nomination. He would if he was in the mould of an "approved politician."
I LOVE this guy watch ALL of his updates and donated to his cause!!! He IS a GOOD ONE!!! He is up on EVERYTHING going on out there!!!
Makes sense. Thanks!
Great song bigbob!
My song will be played when the Utah folks (as Donald says)get on the Train reluctantly. They’ll have the good old boys “The Piano Guys” to give them comfort.
So, you totally get where I’m coming from. I come from the corporate world, too and was in the Legal department - that’s why it was one of the first things that came to my mind - among other things, I did a lot of drafting and sign offs on these things (picture, voice, quotes, etc.). :-)
Newt is worth the watch as always.
Says Hillary can’t dance but she’s out there trying to do the Mombo.
She’s rich and tries to act like she is one of the folk.
It’s all awkward and fake.
My father had Scottish in him. James Roland Kirk
I read it this morning and thought it was very good. I also read a few of the comments then stopped - they had their minds made up.
LOL. Rush has been ranting for ten minutes about the audio malfunction during last night’s Cruz speech, calling it a “dirty trick.”
Full-fledged Cruzitis is a sad thing to behold.
Good piece on Cruz. A well spoken man.
It doesn't sound as though it is entirely smooth sailing.

Cruz is now giving his delegate spiel as a man in the crowd continues to yell out mostly inaudible things. Think he's a supporter?

Hannity: Disenfranchising voters?
Cruz: "That’s definitely Donald’s talking point--"
Hannity/some in crowd: "Whoaa"
Man: "Thank you, Sean!"
Karl (truly a potato for a brain) Rove, was out early today with the- Trump’s running a vanity campaign meme. What a company man, er’ putz.
I got a kick out of Trump being Trump by interacting with the New Yorkers’, those brave or “lit up” souls in the Gala audience that were shouting out their exuberant comments to him as he spoke.
My relief channels which I go to frequently, are the Weather Channel (I dig the music- lol) and was, of all things, the now deceased RIP Aljazeera America.
Good point about the bloviators and all of the ahh, ahh, ahh-ing due to substance deficiencies in their craniums.
I venture out onto the main forum less and less, due to the keyboard intellectuals that seem to know so much about Trump, and his cult of personality (us) yet fail to make the connection with the remarkable similarities in Cruz’s and Obama’s resumes. I am not saying that they are identical but disturbingly similar.
The latest bs poll- Trump scores the lowest in temperament to be President.
Floating around the forum is an article coming from the Weekly Standard about Andrew Jackson, compared to John Quincy Adams. Andrew Jackson had two bullets lodged inside himself, due to surviving two pistol duels. One duel was prompted by the besmirching of his wife’s reputation. I wonder where Andrew Jackson would have landed on the temperament fit for President poll?
This is a once in ten generations opportunity. It is nearly unheard of for a popular uprising to affect the established order. Even when it does, the established order can be counted on to never give up (see Magna Carta, which the king reneged on; see Constitution, which the government reneged on).
