Prince…..and his Noise and Times

They call Prince noise  “music”…..that stuff that human animal ears  indulge in to match  the  drugs of his, her choice to become aroused, not spiritually, intellectually, but  animally……The supreme thrill of our American times for certain folk who have nothing better to absorb but the animal around them.

Prince apparently died the other night…..he over drugged on something, it seems.  He was 57.   Unlike so many competitors in his field, “Mr. Prince” apparently was a stand up guy, a decent human being although incredibly private.    Good for him.   That he was thrilled by conquering a musical instrument or two, had the great talent commensurate to the noises and ‘libretto’ of his day and was able to gyrate his body to fit  mood and noise of himself and his followers, was widely admired apparently.   The color purple popped up in countless places in and  beyond provincial Minneapolis, where Mr. Prince chose his privacy, the area in which I have lived for nearly 82 years….the area in which he died.

Ludvig von Beethoven died at age 57 in 1827.   Toward the end of his life he was hard of hearing, perennially cantankerous, lonely, but still  brilliant as a composer at a time  when beauty for the mind and soul, not noise and grunt, was cherished   among  peoples  oriented  European in the world……Yet, still created from his mind and soul, while being poisoned by the mud baths he sought for physical comfort and relief,  he composed his  final, the forever magnificent “Ninth Symphony”.

Have you ever caught your ear and mind on  his Spring Sonata?

Herr Beethoven, when performing  his magnificent compositions  of true genius, never had to entice interest from his audiences by unclothing, grunting, gyrating, and enticing bodies.

At least “Mister” Prince was apparently a decent guy.   He was raised a Minnesota boy by a  loving father…..and I am rather proud of that fact being a Minnesotan.

The Death Of Prince And The Death of Jesus

In Virginia 200,000 Black Criminals to be Freed From Jail to Vote for Hillary in November

Hillary Clinton desperately needs to win Virginia in November in her bid for the presidency.   Good friend and fellow Democrat, Governor Terry McAuliffe,  has announced the release of 200,000 black criminals for Virginia jails in an attempt to secure the state for the former Secretary of State.

Virginia governor enables 200,000 felons to vote in November

by  Alan Suderman   at WTOP

“More than 200,000 convicted felons will be able to cast ballots in the swing state of Virginia in November under a sweeping executive order Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced Friday.

The Democrat said restoring the rights of felons to vote and run for office will help undo the state’s long history of trying to prevent African-Americans from fully participating in our democracy.

“This is the essence of our democracy and any effort to dilute that fundamental principle diminishes it, folks, for all of us,” McAuliffe said on the steps of Virginia’s Capitol, before a crowd of more than 100 people that included many felons. Left-leaning advocacy groups were there as well, handing out voter registration forms.

Republicans called the order a bald-faced political move by McAuliffe — a close friend of Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton — to help his party hold onto the White House.

“I am stunned yet not at all surprised by the governor’s action,” House Speaker William J. Howell said in a statement. “This office has always been a stepping stone to a job in Hillary Clinton’s cabinet.”

Republicans said ex-offenders who committed violent crimes, like murder, should not be allowed to vote or have other civil rights restored.

“Terry McAuliffe wants to ensure that convicted pedophiles, rapists, and domestic abusers can vote for Hillary Clinton,” said Senate Republican Caucus Chairman Ryan T. McDougle….”   Please continue reading below:

Trump’s 400 More is VERY DOABLE!

Donald Trump’s path to 1,237 delegates

“Donald Trump currently has at least 846 delegates, according to the NBC News tally, and he can still clear the magic number of 1,237 during the primary season. Doing so would prevent the open convention that Ted Cruz and the Stop Trump movement are banking on. Here’s what it would take:

April 26

• Pennsylvania (17 pledged delegates, 54 unbound): Trump leads in every poll and is on pace to win the 17 pledged delegates that will go to the statewide winner. The 54 unbound delegates will be selected in the primary and will be free to vote for whomever they want at the national convention. Even if they declare a candidate preference before the convention, they will not be formally bound to it in any way. That said, a large number of them are already committing publiclyto supporting whichever candidate wins their congressional district – or at least to weighing the district result heavily in their decision. Trump may have trouble in a few districts around Philadelphia, but his wide poll lead suggests he’s on course to run up wide margins across most of the state. Practically speaking, it may be very hard for an unbound delegate who wins his or her slot by vowing to honor the results in his or her district to wiggle out of that commitment in the face of a Trump landslide. Target: 17 pledged delegates plus 36 unbound
• Maryland (38 delegates): Trump leads the state by a wide margin and should easily win the 14 delegates that come with a statewide victory. The other 24 are given out by congressional district – three to the winner of each of the state’s eight districts. Polling suggests Trump may lose to John Kasich in the D.C. metro area. Target: 32 delegates
• Delaware (16): It’s a winner-take-all state and Trump leads big. Target: 16
• Connecticut (28): If Trump can break 50 percent statewide, he should sweep the state (provided he doesn’t finish behind Kasich in the 4th Congressional District, which includes the state’s affluent and highly educated Gold Coast). Currently, Trump is running at 48 percent statewide. Target: 28
• Rhode Island (19): Demographically, this state is a perfect fit for Trump and should produce one of his largest margins. The bad news: Its system for delegate allocation is highly proportional, limiting his potential gains. Target: 10

Leaving aside the Pennsylvania unbound delegates, if Trump hits these numbers he’ll end April with at least 949 delegates. That would bring us to:

May 3…….”    Do continue reading below!
