A Harley Biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings the girl to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.
The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, “Sir, this was the most gallant and bravest thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.”
The Harley rider replies, “Why, it was nothing, really. The lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.”
The reporter says, “Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living, and what political affiliation do you have?”
The biker replies "I'm a U.S. Marine, a Republican and I’m voting for Trump."
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:
“Conservative Trump supporting U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT & STEALS HIS LUNCH”
And THAT pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days!

I don't know weather to laugh at the humor, or cry about how true that is. Darrel

That is an accurate representation of how the media slants everything these days.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Trump Is Not A Lib or Conserv, He's a "Pragmatist." (someone who is practical and focused on reaching a goal. Has a straightforward, matter-of-fact approach and doesn't let emotion distract him or her.

Steve, I'm borrowing your comment because it is so appropriate right now............... We have had liberals,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, we have had conservatives,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but what we have lacked is anybody that really gives a damn about what America needs without a political agenda..............and you can see where that takes us........

If a pragmatist is willing to step up to the plate,,,,,,,,,,, disregard his "political Life" and DO for us,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I am going to support him just as you are doing..............

The bit of "liking or disliking" him is of minimal importance............. I'm not marrying him,,,,,,, I am not going to "bed" him,,,,,,,,,,,, I'm not even going to invite him over for supper,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, all I want is for him to "FIX" problems...............

Thanks for letting me use your words...................
