Cruz, Kasich, say goodby

Which, like it or not, leaves this guy as the Republican nominee. 

And forget about a contested convention in Cleveland!

No Republican has ever won the WH without carrying OH. A smart move for Trump... put John Kasich on the ticket. He's more than capable and would be a tremendous asset for Trump and knows the ins and outs of Washington not to mention carry OH.

I'm trying to look at the bright side. It's inconceivable to me Trump can turn out worse than the asshole currently occupying the WH.

The MSM propaganda machine is at full throttle trying to convince us there is no way Trump can beat Killary. This is the same MSM who told us Trump will never be the Republican nominee.

Donald Trump needs a running mate: Here are four names for him to consider

Really...Kobe Bryant the rapist?

Don't think any of the following are being considered although I really like John Bolton.

Will Donald Trump ever be "presidential" in the conventional manner we have come to expect?

It's a path he may never follow. But after his victory in Indiana on Tuesday night, and Ted Cruz's decision to suspend his campaign, there is now rampant speculation as to what "presidential" will mean should Trump's executive desk move to the Oval Office.

As with any presidential nominee, the selection of their vice presidential running mate is important because it offers us a window into their thinking. 

Trump recently gave some insight into his thoughts on the matter when he told Neil Cavuto on the Fox Business Network: "I would want to choose a politician. I'm a businessman. I don't think we need two guys like me."

His comments suggest that he wants a running mate with experience and expertise in areas where he is seen as lacking. At the same time, political pundits and election followers predicting that Trump will do something ordinary and expected simply have not been paying attention to how the man operates. 

Here are four individuals who may very well get the call from the presumptive GOP nominee:

U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama. To a large extent, the Trump candidacy gained its initial traction and momentum by his promise to get tough on illegal immigration. So forget where you stand on immigration. The point here is that for a Trump presidency to succeed, he must deliver on this issue to the satisfaction of his supporters—a group that views this issue as a matter of national security. 

It is not coincidence that Trump named Senator Sessions the head of his national security advisory group. In the Senate, he has carved out the role of the leading conservative voice advocating a tough stance on immigration and the border with Mexico.

He is tough without being confrontational. Just the sort of person needed to actually get legislation passed.

As a former judge, he understands how to navigate the complicated legislative waters. Further, rewarding loyalty is something that history shows is a solid strategy. Senator Sessions endorsed Donald Trump early. Choosing him as a running mate sends a message for everyone to see that there are consequences, positive and negative, for giving or withholding support -- an action that is part and parcel of how Trump operates.

Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton. Bolton briefly considered seeking the 2016 presidential nomination himself. He is highly regarded among conservatives for being an outspoken advocate for a strong America and a foreign policy that will not blink in the face of confrontation by our adversaries. These are qualities Trump recognized when he discussed Bolton last year on "Meet the Press.": "I think he's, you know a tough cookie, knows what he is talking about. I think he's terrific."

After eight years of feckless leadership from President Obama, our friends no longer trust us and our foes do not fear us.

Assuming former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be the nominee for the Democrats, having Ambassador Bolton on the ticket goes a long way toward eliminating the argument that a Trump presidency would be without an adult at the table when it comes to foreign policy.

Who is better prepared and equipped to make the case that Hillary Clinton's tenure at the State Department was nothing but an exercise in failure?

Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio. It will be no easy task for the next president, Republican or Democrat, to actually pass a legislative agenda. As we have seen, unity among the strongest conservatives in the House of Representatives has impacted the results, or lack of results, coming out of Washington.

At least 36 House Members belong to the Freedom Caucus and Congressman Jordan is their chairman. He has a following that must be dealt with.

A former wrestler, Jordan is dogged and undaunted in his passion to put his and his caucus colleagues' conservative principles into actual policy. Having Jordan as vice president would help both Trump and Speaker Paul Ryan advance a Trump agenda in the U.S House of Representatives.

In addition, he hails from what has become the number one target state for both parties: Ohio. No Republican has ever been elected to the presidency without winning Ohio, while no Democrat has been elected without carrying the Buckeye State since 1960.

While having Jordan on the ticket hardly guarantees that the GOP would carry the Buckeye State, it certainly gives Republicans a head start.

Trump's selection of Congressman Jordan would be consistent with his promise of a new way of doing things. 

Kobe Bryant. Yes, he's a wild card but he is looking for a new career… and we all know Donald Trump follows his own playbook.

Frozen Fans Ask Disney to Make Elsa a Lesbian in Sequel with #GiveElsaAGirlfriend Campaign

Just what every parent wants their kid to see.

If she wants to go transgender check out a Target bathroom.

----------------------------------

A new Twitter campaign calling on Frozen producers to make Elsa a lesbian in the upcoming sequel has gone viral. 

Twitter user Alexis Isabel Moncada was the first to bring up the idea on Saturday, tweeting, "I hope Disney makes Elsa a lesbian princess imagine how iconic that would be." 

Her follow up tweet, "Dear @Disney, #GiveElsaAGirlfriend," has been retweeted more than 1,700 times. 

Moncada explained her petition in an article posted to MTV.com, saying, "The entertainment industry has given us girls who have fallen in love with beasts, ogres who fall for humans, and even grown women who love bees. But we've never been able to see the purity in a queer relationship." 

She added that "many in the LGBT community view Frozen as a metaphor for the experience of coming out and accepting who you are. Yet Elsa, the film's protagonist, will probably end up with a male prince or king in the upcoming Frozen sequel." 

One Twitter user wrote, "Love is an open door. That door should be open to everyone, not just straight people. #GiveElsaAGirlfriend." 

Another agreed, "#GiveElsaAGirlfriend positive queer role model are needed from a young age; early exposure leads to better understanding/acceptance." 

Frozen 2, which is currently in production, is slated to be released before 2018.

Judge blocks Louisville from moving 120-year-old Confederate monument

Trying to rewrite history with a PC pen.

If this keeps up pretty soon we'll be handing the country over to Sitting Bull's ancestors.

-----------------------------------------------

A Kentucky judge Monday issued a temporary restraining order preventing the city of Louisville from moving a 70-foot-tall Confederate war monument from the spot near the University of Louisville campus where it has stood since 1895. 

 Think about it. It stood there for 121 years and only now has it been diagnosed as "officially offensive" by the PC crowd. Why don't we just collectively pretend the Civil War never happened? No, wait that won't work either because we would still have slavery.  

Jefferson County Circuit Judge Judith McDonald-Burkman issued the order against Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and the metro area's government, preventing them from moving, disassembling or otherwise tampering with the monument.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans and Everett Corley, a Republican running for Congress, filed for the restraining order on Monday. They contended that the mayor lacks the authority to remove the monument and did not follow proper protocol.

Fischer and University President James Ramsey had announced Friday that they would remove the monument, marking the latest government effort to reconsider displaying Confederate symbols following the massacre of nine black churchgoers in South Carolina last summer.

The city said the stone and bronze structure, for years a source of tension, would be disassembled and moved to storage until a decision is made on where it should be properly displayed.

County Attorney Mike O'Connell said he would aggressively defend the merged city-county government's legal ability to remove the sculpture from its prominent location between Second and Third streets, next to campus and the university's celebrated Speed Art museum, which just completed a $60 million renovation.

The judge scheduled a hearing Thursday morning, though O'Connell's office asked for more time to prepare its legal arguments. The judge will hear that motion Tuesday morning.

Corley, a real estate agent running against two other Republicans to take on Rep. John Yarmuth in the fall, called the statue's proposed removal "the 2016 version of book burning." He said removing the monument — which features statues of three Confederate soldiers and the inscription "To Our Confederate Dead" — would be an insult to soldiers who fought and died.

Kentucky, sandwiched between three free states and three slave states, never seceded from the Union and attempted to remain neutral throughout the Civil War. But its people were deeply divided. Some fought for the Union, others for the Confederacy, and the mixed allegiances tore apart families and communities across the state.

Kentucky is the birthplace of both Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, the only president of the Confederacy. Both are honored in the state's Capitol rotunda with large statues. Following the Charleston church shootings, leaders from both political parties called for the removal of the Davis statue. But a state commission voted 7-2 to leave it be.

Corley charged that while the city says it plans to move the Louisville monument, it really intends to destroy it and throw it away. O'Connell called that allegation "ridiculous."

Some in the city and the university community have called for years for the monument to be removed. The city's announcement last week came days after Ricky Jones, a professor of Pan-African studies at the university, wrote an opinion piece in the Courier-Journal newspaper calling again for it to be moved. He called it "a symbol of treachery, terrorism, slavery and racism" and a "celebration of backwardness."

Clinton faces tough crowd in West Virginia coal country

WILLIAMSON, W.Va. (AP) — Hillary Clinton faced some angry voters Monday during a campaign swing through West Virginia, a state that overwhelmingly backed her eight years ago in her primary fight against then-Sen. Barack Obama.

Bo Copley, an unemployed coal worker, asked Clinton why voters should believe her pledge to help revitalize the region's economy during a stop at a health center in Williamson.

"Still supporting her hurts you," he told Sen. Joe Manchin, who joined Clinton at the small round-table event. "It's not a good outlook here."

Clinton released a $30 billion plan last fall aimed at aiding communities dependent on coal production and she's promised that her husband would focus on revitalizing the region.

Her efforts haven't been helped by a remark she made in a March interview with CNN, when she said she would "put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business." She was responding to a question about how her policies would benefit poor white people in southern states.

Copley asked, "How you could say you are going to put a lot of coal miners out of jobs and then come in here and tell us how you're going to be our friend?"

Clinton called the comment a "misstatement."

(Bosnian sniper anybody?)

"I can't take it back, and I certainly can't get people who, for political reasons or personal reasons, very painful reasons, are upset with me," she said. "I want you to know I'm going to do whatever I can to help no matter what happens politically."

She added, "Whether or not West Virginia supports me, I'm going to support you."

Copley says he plans to vote in the Republican primary May 10.

Clinton is in the midst of a two-day campaign swing through Appalachia ahead of voting in that region later this month. She was met in West Virginia by hundreds of protesters, who waved Donald Trump signs and chanted "Kill-ary."
