Out-of-Practice Trump Forgets to Strand Rally Crowd in Parking Lot – The New Yorker

Posted: June 28, 2021 at 9:40 pm

WELLINGTON, OHIO (The Borowitz Report)Holding his first campaign-style rally in months, an out-of-practice Donald J. Trump forgot to strand the events attendees in a parking lot Saturday night.

Blaming the failure to strand the rally crowd on rustiness, a member of Trumps inner circle apologized for not delivering a signature feature of Trump rallies.

People have come to expect that, at the conclusion of one of our rallies, they will be marooned in the middle of nowhere for hours, often in inclement weather, Harland Dorrinson, a Trump aide, said. On Saturday night, we didnt get it done.

Dorrinson said that the entire Trump team would be conducting a postmortem of the rally to find out why attendees were able to leave the event without incident.

Saturday night was our first rally in a long time, and we werent in fighting shape, Dorrinson said. But thats no excuse. I want to promise all future attendees: if you come to a Trump rally, you will be stranded for hours afterward with no buses anywhere in sightperiod.

Is This What Donald Trump Really Thinks Of Rudy Giuliani? – The List

Posted: at 9:40 pm

Michael Bender goes on to quote sources who were familiar with the relationship between Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani. For reasons that mystify some, it sounds like Giuliani was desperate to be part of the group.

"Rudy never wanted to be left out.If you were ever between Rudy and the president, look out. You were going to get trampled" (via Business Insider).

Part of the reason Giuliani might have clung so tightly to Trump could be that the treatment he received wasn't always so harsh. The book also alleges that when White House aides began complaining about Giuliani's press conferences and gaffes, Trump pushed back. "Trump barked that at least Giuliani was out there fighting for him.Everyone shut up after that."

Giuliani defended Trump in quite a few high-profile cases, including defending Trump against allegations that he paid hush money to Stormy Daniels and duringRobert Mueller's investigation into whether or not Russia helped Trump win the 2016 election.

From Trump to vets: Its a nice break from trench warfare of politics – Deseret News

Posted: at 9:40 pm

Don Peay is no stranger to controversy and negotiating his way around differences of opinion.

As founder of the powerful Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife lobbying organization, hes gone the rounds with bureaucrats and politicians for most of the past 30 years, fighting for wildlife habitat, conservation and the rights of hunters and fishermen.

Other groups hes started or been affiliated with, such as the nonprofit Big Game Forever and Hunt Expo, have definitely called for sharp elbows.

And then theres his more recent affiliation with a certain politician.

Peay was Donald Trumps Utah campaign manager when he was elected in 2016, and an avowed supporter throughout the Trump presidency. He became an adjunct part of the administration when he was named to the national Hunting and Shooting Sports Conservation Council by Trumps Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke.

But of course all that came to a crashing halt once the Bidens were in and the Trumps were out.

So whats he doing to decompress from Trump life?

Taking care of veterans, as it turns out.

Peay and his wife, Susan, were the main organizers of an event called Bonfire that took place earlier this week at a venue in Hobble Creek Canyon. Hundreds of people turned out to support a charity called Best Defense and honor dozens of veterans, including a number of Navy SEALs and Army Rangers, who were special guests at the affair.

The Best Defense Foundation was started in 2018 by retired NFL linebacker Donnie Edwards, who spent 13 seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs and San Diego Chargers. Edwards and Peay brought in other former NFL players, including the legendary Bo Jackson and Utahns Jim McMahon and Haloti Ngata, all of whom spoke at the event. Country music singer Craig Morgan, himself an Army vet, performed for the crowd and 97-year-old World War II veteran Jack Foy, who fought alongside Patton, rounded out the speakers.

Because the only compensation any of the headliners required or received was airfare, an estimated $150,000 was raised in the one-night event. Plans are already underway for a similar fundraiser in 2022.

Peays affection for the military traces back to his father, Edward, who was a colonel in the Utah National Guard.

If I have one regret its that I didnt pursue going to one of the military academies, said Peay, 61, who grew up during Vietnam and did not serve in the military. This is our familys way of giving back to veterans who actually did.

I take great strength from being around these warriors, he continued. This is some payback to people who at a moments notice will jump into a firefight that they know can cost them their life. This puts our lives into perspective. If we think weve had a hard day, these guys have had hard days, day after day after day. Whatever we have to deal with is nothing compared to what theyve been through.

Which brings us back to Peays experience being on the front lines with Donald Trump, through good times and bad.

Actively supporting such a polarizing politician took a toll and left a mark, he freely confesses.

It got very personal at times. Our children were attacked, a family member was fired supposedly because of my affiliation. But thats a small price to pay for standing for what you believe.

If he had it to do it all over again, Id fight even harder.

I loved Trumps policies, including dollar-seventy-five gas, he said. But we know his tone and his getting down in the weeds and fighting over stupid stuff in the internet hurt him.

But that was then and this is now, and hes taking a hiatus from even thinking about all of that. This fall he has plans to take some of the veterans who were honored this week on hunting trips, and really get away from it all.

I find real peace dealing with veterans, he said. I feel like Im on vacation. Its a nice break from the trench warfare of politics.

Does that mean hes retiring?

Ill always be involved in issues related to wildlife, he said. But the rest of it? Yeah, you could say Im officially retired for a while.

Donald Trump Has Apparently Been Questioning All that Jared Kushner Did for His Administration – Yahoo Entertainment

Posted: at 9:40 pm

Its not easy when family members work together because it can often strain relationships. Thats apparently what is happening between former President Donald Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner. They worked tightly together in the White House, but their separate Florida lives dont seem to be meshing very well.

While Kushner was always considered the policy guy during the Trump administration, per CNN, hes no longer working with his father-in-law as he plots his post-presidential life. The sticking point right now appears to be the six-figure book deal Kushner landed at the conservative publishing arm of Harper Collins, Broadside Books. Trump has been struggling to find a home for his memories, but his son-in-law is booked and busy writing about his work in the Middle East and the COVID task force.

Saginaws Ascension offering free sports physicals and concussion testing for 2 days – MLive.com

Posted: at 9:40 pm

SAGINAW, MI - Middle and high school athletes will get a chance to get their sports physicals taken care of for free in Saginaw.

Ascension Medical Group Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, in conjunction with Field Neurosciences Institute, will offer free sports physicals and concussion baseline assessments for middle and high school students on Monday, July 26 and Tuesday, July 27 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at 4677 Towne Centre Road, Medical Arts Building 3, on the second floor. The physicals will be performed by the medical team of sports medicine physicians, orthopedic sports surgeons, physical therapists, athletic trainers and Central Michigan University family medicine residents, according to a press release from Ascension.

Sports physicals are expected to take 15 minutes while physicals done with a concussions baseline test will take approximately 30 minutes, said the press release.

A concussion baseline assessment is performed to measure normal functioning in multiple areas of the brain that are commonly affected following a concussion, explained the press release, and assessments are done using the TRAZER where simulations mimic active gameplay and provide detailed data about an athletes performance capabilities. According to Ascension, baseline assessments allow for comparison of post-injury state to baseline parameters for accurate diagnosis and proper return to play protocol.

Each student will need to bring a completed Michigan High School Athletic Association medical history/consent form and baseline consent form signed appropriately by a parent or guardian. Parental attendance is required for students under 18. Forms are available online at http://www.fni.org.

There are a limited number of appointments available, according to Ascension. Those interested are asked to call 989-497-3118 to schedule a time.

Residents angered over East Ascension Drainage attempt to replace president – Weekly Citizen

Posted: at 9:40 pm

Some Ascension Parish residents took to social media over the weekend to air their concerns over some members of the East Ascension Drainage Commission seeking to remove and replace the parish president as leader.

The special meeting of the commission June 28 was called to void the contract between the district and Ascension Parish President Clint Cointment. It called for the establishment of a Chief Executive Officer of the district, and approval of a contract with William Roux LLC as interim CEO.

The agenda also called for an intergovernmental agreement with the parish to continue administrative functions as part of the four percent annual fee with additional conditions as to the separation of personnel and assets.

WilliamRoux LLC was registered June 24, according tothe Louisiana Secretary of State's business records.William "Bill" Roux is a retired parish drainage director.

In the days leading up to the meeting, commissioners Teri Casso and Aaron Lawler appeared in local television reports stating the parish needs a drainage professional at the helm.

Chase Melancon, who serves as Vice Chair of the EADC, said in a social media post June 24 that he received a call notifying him of the meeting at 1 p.m. to remove the president as drainage director.

Melancon said it was the first time he had been made aware that any such actions taking place.

"I can only assume I was intentionally left out of any conversations being had about the idea. So that's what I know, and not a thing more," Melancon stated.

Cointment released a statement via social media touting the more than 100 million dollars worth of projects started in just 18 months.

"We know there is still work to be done, though we feel that over $100 million dollars of projects in 18 months is a good start!" Cointment stated.

Over the weekend, Lawler thanked everyone who respectfully expressed their opinions to him regarding EADC leadership.

He suggested creating a spot on the commission for the parish president and allowing the commissioners to "appoint someone to sit in their stead if they wish."

Days earlier, commissionerJoel Robert said he was "befuddled" by the "blatant disregard for The People" in an attack on Cointment and his administration's progress.

Gonzales resident Jeff Pettit, in commenting to the Weekly Citizen, agreed more drainage work has been accomplished in 18 months, despite the pandemic, than in a decade and a half.

Pettit said he suspects the commission's move is a step to revert back to the former policy jury system, and eventually, to eliminate the parish president position and hire a parish manager.

"Put it to a vote of the people. Put it on a ballot. If ten east bank council members automatically become drainage commissioners, then the parish president can automatically become drainage director," Pettit said.

Nicole Halford Fall also commented, saying parish residents are tired of not being heard by the people elected to be their voice.

She recalled the last meeting of the full council when the public hearing was held on the proposed 12-month moratorium on new developments. Ultimately, the council voted for a nine-month version.

"A handful of builders and developers spoke out against the presidents plan, yet when the vote was done, the majority of the council voted against what the people clearly supported," Fall said.

A Facebook group called Ascension Citizens for Change has been gaining traction, she added. As of late June 27, the group had more than 500 members.

"There is a petition that was created on Saturday that is gaining momentum. We will be at the meetings and out talking to our neighbors to take this parish back," she said.

Back in 2017, a group called A Better Ascension sought to change the parish home rule charter and create a parish executive position, following the leadership structure large companies have.

Kenny Matassa, who was parish president at the time, stated the group was backed by special interestsand wanted to take away residents' right to vote for a president, as they have for other leadership positions like sheriff and mayor.
