Ted Cruz Confronts Trump Supporters in Indiana
God bless Cruz! He's faced every tough criticism and lie purported by the Trump camp. The Donald wouldn't have the patience nor respect to face opposition and discuss the issues.
Journalist Angers Trump Supporters and Gets Calls from Hitler
by Kim D.
The problem - it appears - is that this interview was conducted over the phone and Melania didn't craft her own story, leaving much to the imagination and to the recollections of others from her past who were willing to be chattier:
If Trump supporters are any indication of the type of people the Donald administration would surround itself with, we are in a heap of trouble if the reality star nominee should win the Republican nod and by some miracle beat Hillary Clinton in the general election. Nobody likes liberal social justice warriors. Hint - everyone detests the alt-right social justice camp except for the KKK and national fascists.Just got a call from "Overnight Caskets."— Julia Ioffe (@juliaioffe) April 28, 2016
If you aren't aware of many alt-right Trumpsters, check the Twitter mentions of Julia Ioffe, a journalist who recently published her perception of Melania Trump in GQ Magazine.

It appears Trumpkins bypassed the interview process for Ms. Ioffe and are publishing their perception of her ferociously and it ain't pretty:

So what did Julia write? Does Melania secretly have three tits? What scandal did she reveal? Not much - click here to read the article in its lengthy entirety. It's not a bad article and many positives are revealed about Mrs. Trump - she's a loving wife and mother. By all appearances, Melanie Trump would make a decent FLOTUS - much better than the current one playing food Nazi to our kids.From my inbox.

The problem - it appears - is that this interview was conducted over the phone and Melania didn't craft her own story, leaving much to the imagination and to the recollections of others from her past who were willing to be chattier:
While Donald often says that Melania would make a stellar First Lady, the former model offers little clue about what a move to the White House would mean for her. She once said she would be “traditional,” like Jackie Kennedy, and on the question of what causes she might support, she has noted she is already involved in “many, many charities.” She elaborated: “Many different charities involving children, involving many different diseases.”
In this respect, she is just like her husband. She’s alluringly opaque. She makes meaningful eye contact and emphatically repeats affirmative, folksy banalities—she “has a thick skin,” she takes things “day by day,” she follows the news “from A to Z”—until the interviewer either is transported into a supra-verbal understanding or decides it’s pointless to press for specifics.The portion of the article which reportedly has upset Melania are blind quotes and a not-too flattering story about her father and a half-brother:
Like Donald Trump, Viktor Knavs is not just a hard-charging businessman with a penchant for real estate; he is also viciously litigious when it comes to the women in his life. Back when Viktor was a driver, before he married Melania’s mother, he met a young woman in town named Marija Cigelnjak. They dated for a while, and in September 1964, she told Viktor she was pregnant. According to Cigelnjak’s testimony in a lengthy court record, Viktor offered to marry her, but quickly changed his mind, demanding that she have an abortion. This, Viktor said, was because the child was not his. A son was born in May 1965, and three months later, Marija sued Viktor for child support. Viktor continued to deny paternity—going into detail for the court about when he had sex with Marija and the rhythms of her menstrual cycle—prompting the court to order a blood test. Based on its results, the court determined that Viktor was, in fact, the boy’s biological father. Viktor fought the order to pay child support all the way to Slovenia’s highest appellate court. The courts always ruled in Cigelnjak’s favor. (The court record indicates that Viktor filed his appeal late—and lied brazenly and unconvincingly about the nature of the delay.)One reckons had Ioffe simply scrubbed the article from any information which might have been perceived as unflattering, all would have been cool. She should have let Matt Drudge edit the piece prior to submission for publication.

Take a lesson from Prince ... make a will
By Mouser the King Cat
Prince’s music will live on. But it will never earn what it is worth, because he apparently did not make a will. It seems out of character for an artist known for his business acumen almost as much as his music. From Forbes:
Music genius? Certainly. But the street cred for business savvy is gone, and therein lies a cautionary tale
Prince’s music will live on. But it will never earn what it is worth, because he apparently did not make a will. It seems out of character for an artist known for his business acumen almost as much as his music. From Forbes:
Prince
closely maintained and guarded ownership and control over the rights to his
music, including the publishing rights, master recordings, performance
royalties, and more. He famously stored hundreds of unreleased songs. …
Estimates of Prince’s net worth based on the earnings and future royalty rights
to music already released range from $300 million to $500 million.
That’s for
his sister, Tyka Nelson, and five half-siblings to divide, splits to be
determined. The squabbling has already started. A bank is managing the assets
at Tyka’s request. But the absence of a will means Uncle Sam is lurking, too.The Daily Signal, the media arm of The Heritage Foundation, made back-of-the-envelope
calculations based on the $300 million figure:
If Prince
were married, he could have passed on the entirety of his estate to his spouse
tax free. However, without a spouse, only $1.6 million of Prince’s estate will
be free from Minnesota’s death tax and only $5.45 million will escape the
federal death tax. The combination of Minnesota’s top death tax rate of 16%,
plus the government’s 40% rate, means that over 50% of Prince’s estate will go
to the government.
What is
overlooked: Many of Prince’s assets may be relatively illiquid. Some might have
to be let go at fire-sale prices to satisfy the government, just as many game
show contestants giddy about winning a car have had to sell it to pay the tax
bill.
Music genius? Certainly. But the street cred for business savvy is gone, and therein lies a cautionary tale
Drudge Claims a Child "Smites" #TedCruz
by Kim D.
Nothing to see here folks but an attempt to Jesus shame Glen Beck on a day which ends in "y."
Drudge links to the actual story as reported in The Daily Caller: "Cruz Scolds Boy After Child Tells Him You Suck at Indiana Rally." Oh the horror! Cruz should have just told his supporters to smite the kid in the face and he'd represent them in court for free.Lead headline on Drudge right now: "MATT DRUDGE CONTINUES PLUNGE INTO MADNESS AND IRRELEVANCE" https://t.co/GvghmFEouX— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) May 2, 2016

Thanks Bruce for furthering the propaganda that this is a trans issue instead of a forced acceptance issue.
Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to Be #Trigglypuff
by Kim D.
Calling all parents! Heed this warning - check your child's entitled privilege and stop the insanity of future social justice warriors and their fight with the realities of life. College used to be the place where students could challenge ideas and find their voice. Now it is the antithesis, a place where that voice parrots the brainwashing of progressive professors and spends every waking minute miserable and in search of ways to silence ideas which do not fit with the unrealistic notion that life should be equal and fair.
Every parent should study the phenomenon of Trigglypuff. Her real name is purported to be Cora Segal, and she is a student at UMass College. She also was the "triggering" figure which led to Steven Crowder's epic rant about social justice warriors. If anyone watched Crowder's rant and thought it was mean-spirited, meet Trigglypuff:
Triggly has quickly withdrawn from social media; however, fortunately, for scientific purposes only, the Internet is forever. An archived view of her Facebook profile page shows a progression of her formative years as a teen blossoming into a young woman. During this critical time in a young woman's life, it is apparent that Miss Puff has struggled with her weight which we can assume has contributed to depression and acceptance issues.
Warning - no child should go through these formative years as obese. Childhood obesity is detrimental to physical and mental health. On this point we should agree with FLOTUS to some degree - to help break the cycle of childhood obesity, parents need to be equipped to help children deal with this crippling disease and with much more than school lunch fascism.
In comparison, my son is only six, yet he has a six-pack, a product of genetics and four years of gym and swim classes. I will admit that we have done pretty well over the years, although we are suffering along with most middle-class Americans at the end of Obama's reign due to over-regulation and a stifled economy. One could say we are privileged because we have been able to afford gym classes for our child. He is proud of his physique and vows never to lose his six-pack.
However, lately it has been a challenge to pay all the bills. How do we do it? We budget, dine at home, forego expensive vacations, and wear discount fashion. Compare this to my sister-in-law who always struggled economically but insisted her daughter attend dance class from a very young age. Today she is a well-adjusted, healthy teen building her brand on Musical.ly and Instagram. Growing up in an economically challenged household is no excuse not to reign in the excesses that can creep in and take over a child's life.
An odd statement attributed to Triggly is that "fatness has nothing to do with health" which factual life experiences and the Mayo Clinic tell us is complete and utter horseshit. However, it must be the notion that helps Miss Puff get through each day in denying the reality that she must change her perception of obesity and lifestyle choices if she hopes to live a long and healthy life:
Not convinced? Here is how she describes herself on OK Cupid:
In comparison, my step-daughter, now 27, has no clue what the term cisgendered means, along with most sane people over 30. She has never engaged in the "trans" debate in a negative or positive way and wouldn't have a clue she is "cis" something, being straight and not disappointed she was born sans penis.
She decided to forego a traditional four-year college education for an associate's degree in photography. She is happy and passionate about her chosen profession. Even though she doesn't make the big bucks in this economy, she is slowly building a business and is focusing on her craft, her talent and ministry to the community. She doesn't consume herself with the social justice warrior mentality and is perfectly fine with photographing a gay wedding. At first we were worried about her educational decision but are now thankful she was spared the mental torture we see so often displayed on college campuses.
It goes without saying that I'm not a psychologist or the perfect mother. However, I do know that parents must be involved with their children, try to help foster a good self esteem, and address health and mental issues as they arise. Being proactive with educational and physical skills at an early age gives children the best weapons to fight against being sucked into and consumed with the social justice warrior mentality. No child or young adult needs to be a Trigglypuff, not even Cora Segal.

A negative self esteem is ripe pickings for identity politics. One look at Triggly's Facebook group page indicates her identity search - which, quite frankly is all over the place from Feminists for Liberation to Decolonize Native North America to Spread Love not Hate to Fat Studies. The old adage is true - you are with whom you hang, and Trigglypuff identifies with overweight, Native American, gay, cisgendered, feminist, socialists.#Trigglypuff teaches a class on... yup, "body positivity" pic.twitter.com/MlUbtKQ5DO— Milo Yiannopoulos ✘ (@Nero) April 29, 2016
Not convinced? Here is how she describes herself on OK Cupid:
My self-summaryWarning - parents need to have high expectations for children. No matter what issues kids face, they need to know they are expected to be a productive citizen. They need to understand the realities of life. Nothing truly is for free and men slapping on dresses does not equal the "woman" experience. Children should not be burdened to understand what they truly cannot. It leads to confusion and misery. [At this point - go back and watch the Trigglypuff video a second time and ask yourself if this person has many happy moments]
