We asked the hotel why and they said there was an anesthesiologists convention starting first thing Monday morning. Increased demand from people with deep pockets means the rates skyrocket. Happens all the time.

Did trump own the hotel? Were you going to pay $2000 a nite? Clearly he was stuffing his own pockets with the event at the WH (the PEOPLE'S HOUSE). Also, all his cronies will be sure to mention they stayed there to gain political favor.

I thought Mar-a-lago was the People's House now.

I don't think Rasmussen calls cell phones. Just a robo call to old people with landlines.

Convention bump?

One week ago Trump proudly tweeted that he had reached a peak approval rating of 51% as surveyed by the disreputable right-wing pollster, Rasmussen Reports. Rasmussen is without a doubt Trump's favorite pollster and the only one who has ever shown Trump with a majority approval rating.

Now, after two days of RNC ranting, and worshipful characterizations of Trump as Messiah, Rasmussen has him at 47% approve, 51% disapprove. That's a four point drop (and an eight point negative swing) that occurred in just the two days since the convention began.

Jack Brewer is blowing away Bejiing Biden and Kamala.

Black Voices for America.

And he followed a nun and Lou Holtz.

Fun stuff.

Don't worry about the vicious Democrat thugs burning our cities down and terrorizing their neighbors, lets focus on the real important problems... Hey, maybe Nancy Pelosi can use this to try to impeach Trump next year - after he wins in November...
