Missouri is a winner-take-all state, with 52 Republican delegates up for grabs. It appears that it is currently too close to call. We will probably have to wait a day or two before the final results are in, at present it appears that Trump was won by 1,726 votes.

Less people, one of them will win and go against the Republican candidate.
Personally I dislike both Democrats, though I think Sanders would accomplish little- good or bad, Clinton would be worse.
Trump would shake things up, though the argument of it being good or bad is the big thing.
I don't think any of the other Republicans would do much of anything.

Marco Rubio:
"I'm not going to be anybody's vice president," the Florida senator told reporters in his first day on Capitol Hill after suspending his presidential campaign on Thursday. Rubio, 44, ended his presidential run after losing to front-runner Donald Trump in the Sunshine State's primary. He had won the Minnesota caucuses and primaries in Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. — but otherwise has finished third or lower in most state contests. "I'll finish out my term in the Senate," Rubio said Thursday, even ruling out a re-election bid. "We're going to work really hard here. We have some things we want to achieve. Then, I'll be a private citizen in January."

"Smartmatic Group, an electronic voting firm whose worldwide headquarters is located in the United Kingdom, will be running the online balloting process in the Utah Republican Open Caucuses on Tuesday.

The chairman of Smartmatic’s board, Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, currently serves on the board of George Soros’s Open Society Foundation and has close ties to the billionaire.

The Wall Street Journal dubbed the Republican party’s online adventure on Tuesday as “one of the biggest online votes conducted so far in the U.S.” and the “largest experiment with online presidential voting since 2004, when Michigan allowed Democrats to vote in a party caucus via the Internet.”

The Journal further reported:

Utah residents will have the option of casting ballots in the Republican presidential contest using computers, tablets, and smartphones next week. …

Online “polls” will be open between 7:00 a.m. and 11 p.m. on March 22. Voters will get a receipt that will verify that their vote was recorded correctly. The state party declined to release the number of online voter registrations that it has received. …

“We expect all the jurisdictions across the U.S. to take notice and to look at this experience as something to study and, hopefully, follow,” said Antonio Mugica, founder and chief executive of Smartmatic Group, an election-equipment vendor that is running the Utah election.

Mugica addressed security concerns about online voting, telling the Journal that Smartmatic has security protocols and backups of the election data should a recount be needed. He said he wasn’t aware of any security breaches.

The Journal did not cite the biography of Malloch-Brown, chairman of Smartmatic’s board. That biography is posted openly on Smartmatic’s website, and shows close associations between Malloch-Brown and Soros, a major donor to the Democratic Party and hundreds of liberal and radical-left groups."

"In 2008, Michelle Obama declared that her husband’s campaign was the “the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country.” That just means there were a significant number of years that the Obama’s weren’t very proud of America. Which is never more clear than then the pair venture to other countries. Predictably, President Obama spent a good portion of his trip to Cuba and Argentina talking down America.
How often? At least 15 separate times. While most presidents in the past have visited other countries and explained why America is the leader of the free world, Obama likes to apologise or focus on negatives. It’s almost as if he and his wife still aren’t proud of their country.

Lest you thought Obama spent all of his time abroad this week acting like a tourist — sightseeing, taking in a ballgame, tangoing with Argentine beauties — be reassured, he still found plenty of time to point out the many flaws he sees in America.Between his stays in Havana and Buenos Aires, we counted at least 15 times Obama talked down his employer, The United States of America. Specifically, he said …

America must have the “courage to acknowledge” its role in Argentina’s human-rights abuses
America can’t be slow talking about human-rights violations, as we’ve done in Argentina
The Constitution’s separation of powers makes it hard for America to adapt to the changing times
America must do more to promote equality
America needs to reduce discrimination
America suffers from “political polarization”
America was built by slaves
America has too much money in politics
America has a problem with racially-biased criminal justice system, a racially-biased society, and a legacy of slavery & segregation
Many American states would have forbidden his biracial parents to marry — had they tried
Many American schools in the south were segregated when he was young
American democracy is imperfect
America’s political process is not pretty, as evidenced by the current 2016 race
Cuba’s Castro’s more readily sharing his thoughts on where America is “falling short” will help us improve
He “doesn’t disagree” with Castro’s view that America should provide “free” health care, education, and social security to all"

"Florida police have charged Donald Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski with simple battery in connection with an incident earlier in the month involving a reporter.
Police in Jupiter, Florida, issued Lewandowski a notice Tuesday to appear before a judge on May 4 for the misdemeanor charge.
The Trump campaign said Lewandowski “is absolutely innocent of this charge” in a statement released late Tuesday morning.
“He will enter a plea of not guilty and looks forward to his day in court,” said the statement. “He is completely confident that he will be exonerated.”

"The National Rifle Association is out with a new video warning terrorists that even though the Obama administration is uninterested in protecting the nation, average Americans of all types can and will. The video, from NRA’s “Freedom’s Safest Place” campaign, features country music superstar Charlie Daniels delivering a firm message “To the ayatollahs of Iran and every terrorist you enable.” Daniels’ bottom line: In what elitists deem “flyover country” reside true Americans who are very different than the “fresh-faced flower child president and his weak-kneed, Ivy League friends” projecting an image of American weakness abroad.

Published on Mar 22, 2016
The absence of firm leadership in our executive branch shouldn't fool the enemies of America into thinking that our nation is weak. Our true strength lies in the firm hands and ready steel of millions of proud, hard-working men and women. We are the NRA, and we are Freedom's Safest Place.


To the ayatollahs of Iran and every terrorist you enable: Listen up. You might have met our fresh-faced flower child president and his weak-kneed, Ivy League friends.But you haven’t met America. You haven’t met the heartland, or the people who will defend this nation with their bloody, calloused, bare hands, if that’s what it takes. You haven’t met the steelworkers and the hard-rock miners, or the swamp folks in Cajun country who can wrestle a full-grown gator out of the water. You haven’t met the farmers, the cowboys, the loggers and the truck drivers. You don’t know the mountain men who live off the land, or the brave cops who fight the good fight in the urban war zones. No, you’ve never met America. And you oughta pray you never do. I’m the National Rifle Association of America, and I’m Freedom’s Safest Place."

"While President Obama was watching baseball, Pastor Mario Felix Lleonart Barroso was sitting in a police station. Barroso, a Baptist pastor, blogger and friend of VOM, was thrown to the ground, handcuffed and detained at his home (which also serves as his church) just hours before Air Force One landed in Havana. A few hours after the President left Cuba, Pastor Barroso was set free and returned to his family. He was tired and weak, having fasted throughout his detention, but happy to be home.

Pastor Barroso is a bold pastor and outspoken advocate for religious freedom in his nation, and as such he is seen as a threat to the communist government of Fidel and Raul Castro. The Cuban government decided to make sure there would be no “distractions” during President Obama’s visit, so Barroso and dozens of other dissidents were detained by police in the days leading up to his arrival.

I take issue with the above statement that "The National Rifle Association is out with a new video warning terrorists that even though the Obama administration is uninterested in protecting the nation, average Americans of all types can and will." Obama & Co. surely under the direction of his puppet masters, is not merely "uninterested in protecting the nation", he is doing as directed and encouraged to destroy it. The NRA leadership otta know that by now. But I guess that's expecting too much, since not many Latter-day Saints seem to be aware of "the secret combination that seeks to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries [that] is increasing its evil influence and control over America and the entire world."

"The North Carolina General Assembly overrode legislation Wednesday that would have allowed transgender individuals to use the restroom that coincides with their gender identity, and the mayor of San Francsisco is not happy about it.
Mayor Edwin Lee banned city employees from traveling to the Tar Heel State after hearing that Gov. Pat McCrory (R) signed the bill, known as House Bill 2, into law Wednesday night.
“We are standing united as San Franciscans to condemn North Carolina’s new discriminatory law that turns back the clock on protecting the rights of all Americans including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals,” Lee said in a statement Friday.
“Effective immediately, I am directing City Departments under my authority to bar any publicly-funded City employee travel to the State of North Carolina that is not absolutely essential to public health and safety,” he added."

"The evidence of Hillary’s aid, Huma Abedin’s connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and the Wahhabists is overwhelming, as are the Muslim Minority Affairs connections of Huma and her family. Huma’s father, “Sayed Zaynul Abedin” in the manifesto commissioned by the late King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz detailed the mission to flood the U.S. with Muslim minorities. The Abedins’ Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs—on whose Board Huma Abedin served for years— had the king’s blessings and approval on literally every page. The Abedins played a central role. The House of Al Saud had used Huma’s father Sayed Zaynul Abedin’s work Muslim Minorities in the West published in 1998 as part of 29 works to construct a plan to conquer the world with Islam"

"On Friday, April 15, high schools (and many middle schools) across the country will be hosting the LGBT movement's annual "Day of Silence."

During this all-day event, student activists and even school officials encourage students to be silent for the entire day as a sign of solidarity with the international LGBT movement. Students are encouraged to wear special pro-homosexual badges, stickers, and bracelets - which are often handed out at the school entrances that day. There are also pro-LGBT posters in the hallways, handouts, and even workshops.

Although the adult activists claim that the "Day of Silence" (DOS) is put together by "students," it is in fact organized behind the scenes by adults with the enthusiastic cooperation of school officials. They use materials and instructions from a national homosexual activist group.

Please join the national effort to restore to public education a proper understanding of the role of government-subsidized schools.

You can actively oppose this hijacking of the classroom for political purposes and help de-politicize the learning environment by calling your child out of school if your child's school participates, promotes or allows "Day of Silence" activities.

TAKE ACTION

1. Call your local schools and ask whether they permit students or teachers to remain silent in the classroom on "Day of Silence." IMPORTANT: Do not ask any administrator, school board member, or teacher if the school sponsors, endorses, or supports DOS. Schools do not technically sponsor the Day of Silence. Technically, it is students, often students in the gay-straight alliance, who sponsor it. Many administrators will tell you that they do not sponsor the DOS when, in fact, they do permit students and sometimes even teachers to remain silent during instructional time. Also ask administrators whether they permit teachers to create lesson plans to accommodate student silence.

2. Find out what date the event is planned for your school and warn other parents. (The national date in 2016 is Friday, April 15, but some schools observe DOS on a different date).

3. Inform the school of your intention to keep your children home on that date and explain why.

"A white student has claimed he was brutally bullied and beaten at a Long Island high school because of the color of his skin, being white.
Giovanni Micheli claims he was attacked and beaten with a chair while teachers and school administrators ignored his pleas for help.
Micheli, who went to a school where the majority of students are Latino or black, said he was called ‘cracker’ and ‘white boy’ by other students.
Lawyers for Micheli, who is now 23, claim their client was bullied because he was a ‘minority’ at Brentwood High School.
Micheli’s parents complained and he was eventually taken out of Brentwood High School and home schooled instead. Micheli’s family asked administrators to move him to a different school district, but his parents claim they were told: ‘If we do that for him, we would have to do that for all the white children.’
Black people can and are racist just as white people are. But can the main focus of the issue here be that the kid was beaten by kids with a chair? Why does race have to be the focus? Can we prove that he was beaten? Then go off that. That is a crime. It’s not a crime to be racist."

"The mother of a teenage son who was tortured and murdered by an illegal immigrant broke down in tears Tuesday before a House panel, begging for the government to enforce immigration law. Laura Wilkerson, the mother of Josh Wilkerson, described in vivid detail the manner in which Hermilo Vildo Moralez, an illegal immigrant, beat, tortured, and eventually killed her son Josh then went to a movie. In emotional testimony before the House Immigration and Border Subcommittee, Wilkerson expressed frustration that the problem of illegal immigration has not been fixed since the last time she testified before Congress in July 2015. “Nothing has been done about it. We can have hearing after hearing, after hearing, after hearing until there is action we’re just talking,” Wilkerson said. “I see this America government scrambling over themselves to pretend to care about American families and instead you give away every bit of America to people who have broken our laws entering this country,” she added. “Then on to break other laws.” Wilkerson addressed the opening comments of the Democrats on the panel, arguing that the fear of being deported is nothing compared to losing a child to torture and death.” http://conservativevideos.com/mother-of ... -congress/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

"The NBA has threatened to pull the All-Star Game out of North Carolina unless the state’s bathroom law is repealed. Think about it… a corporation is telling a state to override the will of the people because it passed a law stating that men should use the men’s restroom and women should use the women’s restroom. This is what the NBA is up in arms about!
Target has come out in support of that small, small percentage of people who are born one way but claim to be the other gender. They have said that women’s rooms are open to men and vice versa. They are wrong.
Just a few months ago, a man was arrested for assaulting a six-year-old girl in a mall restroom. Yep… he walked right in there.
In 2014, a Toronto man who claimed to be transgender assaulted multiple women at women’s shelters.
Christopher Hambrook, 37, leaned on the ever expanding legal “rights” offered to people who “identify” with the sex opposite their biology. Under the name “Jessica,” he was able to get into the women’s shelters, where he sexually assaulted several women in 2012, the Toronto Sun reports.
Court heard how one woman awoke to find Hambrook assaulting her on her bed. “Her tights had been pulled down past her bottom and her bathing suit had been pulled to the side,” court documents reveal. “She yelled at the accused, demanding to know what he was doing. He simply covered his face with his hands, said ‘Oops!’ and started giggling.”
In other news, at Napa Valley College, a man sexually assaulted a woman in the women’s restroom.
Do you need more examples? Ok… here’s another. A homeless man in Houston sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl in the restroom of a CVS store.
The list goes on and on and on. The cases are actually quite easy to find.
And here’s the point to keep in mind. We aren’t talking about good, old fashioned transvestites — men dressing up like women — we are talking about transgenders, and the new left-wing phrase “gender identity.” (It seems like every year, there’s a new phrase that the left invents just to justify it’s radical thinking.)
Gender identity means that if a man thinks or pretends to be a woman, then that’s ok. That’s his “gender identity.” It has absolutely nothing to do with how he acts or how he dresses (according to the left), but it’s simply a state of mind. Why do I mention this? Because this means that a man wearing “man” clothes can pretend to be a woman without even trying to look like one. And the NBA, Target, Trump, and others want to make it even easier for men to walk right into women’s restrooms.
Are we going to have a “gender identity” cop stationed at each restroom to verify that the man thinks he’s a woman before he can walk in? Of course not. So, the left is opening themselves up to any depraved guy just walking into women’s restrooms under the guise of being a “transgender.” This is just an open invitation to sexual predators.
It’s really unfortunate that example after example after example of incidents have to be listed. This is common sense! Men are men, and women are women! What they act like or pretend to be is their problem! It certainly should not take up taxpayer money to debate legislation to protect the vast majority."
