As someone still waiting for his first Soros check, I wonder whether even Trump believes his insistence that "most" anti-Trump protesters are paid outside agitators. When pressed, the best his people ever come up with is that organizations w/ paid staffers helped organize the protests, which, yeah.

Winwood was 18 when he *left* the Spencer Davis Group & played organ on Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile," 20 when he broke up Traffic & recorded the Blind Faith album, 25 when he broke up Traffic the second time. He seemed like a grizzled veteran when he released the ARC OF A DIVER album. He was 31.

“In his book, 'The Art of the Deal,' Donald Trump reaffirmed the myth of his family’s origins, writing that his father’s father came to America 'from Sweden as a child.'”

If Gavin Newsom wants to regain a bit of credibility with the left, he could threaten to concentrate budget cuts on those eight GOP-represented districts

No surprise that Stephen Miller would watch the Harry Potter films and think that the Snatchers are the good guys
