Ben Carson is at the
bottom of most current
GOP presidential polls,
but he said Saturday he
doesn’t
believe
Republican voters are so
“dense” as to nominate
the current front-runner,
Donald Trump.
“Right now people
are making decisions
based on anger and fear,
and anyone who knows
human nature can tell

you that when you make
decisions based on anger
and fear they tend to be
bad decisions,” Carson
said during a questionand-answer session at
Texas Medical Center in
Houston, Raw Story
reports. “The real question is
are American people
going to awaken and
recognize what’s going
on,” he said. “I believe
the answer to that yes. I
do not believe that we
are quite that dense.”
But, he added, should
Trump continue his winning ways all the way to
the convention, “yes we
would make very, very
bad mistake.”
Carson told reporters
afterward he believes the
March 1 Super Tuesday
primaries will show
Trump seeing less support and his own campaign bouncing back.
THEY VOTED AT AGE 96, IN 2007
DID YOU VOTE MARCH 1, 2016?
Mrs. Grace Simmons, (in rear photo), in 2007 thought it important enough to
leave her room at the Elba Nursing Home to go to vote for the first black President,
Barack Obama. There she met her long time friend 96 year old Mrs. Mary Alice Hooks,
(in front photo), who was out to vote as well. Both ladies remembered years ago
they were not allowed to vote. Both are now deceased.

ep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., told a local CBS station Wednesday he wanted
to stay in office while President Obama was completing his term.
The 85-year-old lawmaker has spent nearly 50 years on Capitol Hill. He
wanted to leave office at the same time as the first black president, and survived
a bruising primary in 2014 to do so.
“I wanted so badly to complete the last year with President Obama, and even
though they never gave him a fair opportunity to do all the things that I really
had dreamed that we could do together, I would be so annoyed with myself had
I retired a couple of years ago,” Rangel told WCBS 880’s Jane Tillman Irving.

they must know, since
they want a justice coming
from a new POSSIBLE
Republican elected Pre sident
being

January 20th 2017 and
they want to get his ear as
regards to case decisions.
We want a justice that is
not pre-programmed how
he or she should decide
the cases before them.
We care less if he 0r
she is a democrat or a
republican. Further we
care less if he or she
believes in strict construction or loose construction
of the constitution. Our
nation need justices that
are fair and considerate of
the impact of their decisions upon the population
of the nation.
Since the constitution
provides that President
Barack Obama MUST
nominate and the Senate
MUST vet who ever is
nominated and vote up or
down on the nominees
qualifications; and since
that power is invested in the
Senate…the question that
needs to be answered…why
shouldn’t this orderly
process be carried out as the
constitution so eloquently
intended.
We say to our Senators
Grassley and McConnell
the hold their seats; certainly by votes, and they
must remember it was the
U.S. Constitution that
made it so. We further say
to them shirking key
responsibility required by
the constitution affect all
of us…and wish to remind
them that the U.S Supreme
Court belongs to all of us.

Eric said if Ruffin,
who is spearheading the
idea, wants to go forward,
“we would certainly do it.
[He is] one of our closest
friends. We’re almost
inseparable.”
The proposed casino
would sit on four acres —
currently used as a parking
lot — next to the eight-
year-old Trump Hotel.
Ruffin
told
The
Journal that building the
new casino would cost
about $100 million and
the Trumps would own 50
percent of it.
It would be Donald
Trump’s first foray into
gambling in Nevada, after
having developed several
gambling operations in
Atlantic City which he is
no longer associated with.
