Greek Easter, the Real Easter, is coming up. Tell me, how can you celebrate Easter BEFORE the Jewish Passover?
Heading to bed now... but wanted to leave this with the group- it’s a video parody along the lines of Schoolhouse Rock, about the recently enacted North Carolina “bathroom use by gender” legislation.
Please watch it... I think it’s worth your time for no other reason than for you to be made aware of it, as you will likely then, want to forward it to family and friends.
I won’t steer you wrong nor let you down, and it’s work safe.
Enjoy!

Maybe everyone should watch the video, and then decide for themselves if it’s work safe. There’s a smidgen of PG 13 at the end.
Like Faux News is fond of saying-
We report.
You decide!
Good night & good morning.
We need a Freep OC meetup!

I love the line he gives each speech when he talks about how fast things are going to happen once he’s president...
“It’ll make your head spin!”
God, I’m still laughing about the guy yesterday, Tony Demelia, who he told to “Hey, Tony. Where’s Tony DeMelia? He’s the first guy in CT to endorse me. Hey, Tony. Get you ass up here on stage.”
Trump is like the consummate union boss. I imagine, at some meeting with union bosses who’s unions work for him, and a Tony DeMelia was there, it would probably go something like:
“Hey, where’s Tony? Hey, Tony DeMelia? Where’s that fat as Pisan? Hey. There he is. Hey, Tony. Come up on stage here. GEt your fat ass and flabby gut you POS, and get up here with me. Here he is. Look at this fat Mother bleep, he’s got arms like artichokes...Tony you fat SOS come here. Give me a hug.” ROTFLMBO
I know—we love his speech idioms.
Your embellishment cracked me up yesterday of how he spoke to Tony DeMelia, because it could actually happen.
You see how he relates to regular people, to police, to firemen—he has always been this way.
I grew up 12 miles west of NYC—so we talk, or tawk, like him and we get him.
“Not gonna happen, folks”
“Now, here’s the story”
“by, a LOT!”
“I can’t hear you!”
“Give me a break!”
“100% percent”
“Oh!”—with hand held flat against side of head- which is a variation of the Jewish expression “Oy ve!”
Trump has been around construction sites since he was younger than Barron is now. He has never lost the touch of the common man or for the common man.
I have been around my share of construction sites in my previous career, and you have to have ears of steel. Sailors have nothing on construction workers.
One of favorite videos of him from May, 2015 when he goes for a lunchtime stroll with Brian Kilmeade—look how people react to him—and this in NYC before he announced his run:
