FOAF, it was a negative story on Trump, so “Newsweak” wasn’t only one carrying it. Still, maybe Trump should apologize privately to Haley and ask her to help. VP? I doubt she’d want it.

T J, I am not part of GOP base (am NPA), and can’t stand Biden or the DEMs; however, after seeing what a terrible leader Trump was the last time—great business/sales man, but terrible leadership ability—I am was reluctant to vote for him.

Only the recent House move by Johnson passing the bill to aid Ukraine (and Trump’s silence during the process), the maddening antisemitic activity on college campuses, and Biden cutting off ammo to Israel has moved me to settle on voting for Trump – tho will say to myself that I’m voting against Biden & Democrats…

Or are they the segment that’s reluctant to support Trump because of the easy access and unified hostility from the State Propaganda Media machine?

I’m quite certain it is the latter, based upon my encounters with the reluctant RS. YMMV.

Karmi:

That’s my alma mater yer talkin’ about!

The interesting thing about the story is that New College, a very progressive semi-experimental college, accepted Black when Black’s main claim to fame was being the nationally known son of the KKK Grand Wizard who runs the infamous Stormfront white supremacy site. Black started the kiddie section of Stormfront.

I can’t tell from the article whether Black was already backing away from the KKK when Black applied to New College. Otherwise it’s hard to understand why Black would apply to New College and why New College would accept Black.

New College in my day was wacky enough that it might have accepted a Stormfront student, though I tend to doubt it.

The article says that Black flew under the radar for a few years before being publicly outed as KKK. Then Black blends into the progressive New College culture, emerges as trans and eventually marries Black’s biological male friend.

Happy ending, I guess.

Trigger Warning: Black likes their pronouns plural.

Meanwhile, Trump dallies on his VP selection—terrible mistake, IMHO. Have already stated here that Tim Scott should be selected as VP. Scott could be making a clear case for the Trump/Scott ticket over the Biden/Harris ticket whilst Trump is tied up in courts.

Donald Trump Has a GOP Base Problem

Donald Trump’s dominance in the 2024 Republican primaries is still being hampered by Nikki Haley’s ongoing and potentially significant support.

On Tuesday, the presumptive 2024 Republican candidate continued his successful primary season with a resounding victory in Indiana, winning more than 78 percent of the vote.

However, Haley, Trump’s last remaining Republican rival who dropped out of the race in March, still managed to achieve 21.7 percent of the vote, amounting to more than 128,000 votes. It’s the latest sign that a sizable portion of the GOP’s base still does not want to support the MAGA former president.

Republicans just can’t stop making mistake after mistake…

The browser will not work on newer android versions. There’s a note at the play store.

🙂 If I use my phone more than 0-minutes a week it is usually w/ a Doctor’s office or my brother (text message about once a month), so I often forget that many people use Android.

I downloaded the Windows Installer (.exe) from the Epic’s site—the desktop version, which works great.

Thanks for the update on Android systems tho. Yeah, I build my own desktop PCs, but still haven’t figured out how to import favorites to the phone or to even maneuver much around the internet at all on it—the smartphone is just too smart for me, even after a year of using one…

UPDATE: just checked the Epic browser on my smartphone and it said Epic was made for older versions, so my T-Mobile Samsung 5G is up to date – thanks again, Mr. Richard, for pointing that out!
