Mark Zuckerberg’s latest barnstorming tour of his future constituents brings him to Indiana

In our latest installment of "No, really, Zuck is honest-to-god not running for political office," we find Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg taking a ride around South Bend, Indiana, with Mayor Pete Buttigieg.

Zuckerberg is calling this yet another stop in his 2017 personal challenge to "get out and talk to more people about how they're living, working and thinking about the future."

During the drive, which is broken up into two parts, most of the talk focuses on the city's blighted areas and what the mayor is trying to do to help the area thrive.

At one point, someone jumps in front of the car and snaps a picture of the two, to which Zuckerberg says, disdain dripping from his voice, "Must be journalists." Yeah, maybe it was one of those rat finks, or maybe it was just one of the bazillion people on the planet now with cameras who happen to recognize you, Zuck. (Ok, I'll get out of my feelings now, sorry.)

As the two wend their way through the city, the only real discussion of tech that comes up is Buttigieg's mention of how the city is using the cloud to manage what he calls the smartest sewer system in the world.

Sure, that's not necessarily a city feature that'll reel in tons of tourists, but it's pretty cool to see cities not in the spotlight using cutting-edge tech to address local infrastructure issues.

As for Zuck, there's no telling where he'll pop up next, but despite the do-gooder nature of his latest visit, we suggest he keep the content a bit more exciting if he wants us to keep following his pre-election barnstorming personal challenge.

How a ‘Star Wars’ billboard got John Boyega dumped

Sponsored by  FreePLRArticles.biz

Take it from John Boyega: starring in one of the world's most beloved movie franchises does not make your love life a walk on Naboo.

On this week's Graham Norton Show, Boyega spilled about a first date he had in New York before The Force Awakens was released. The two were cruising through Times Square when the woman asked what Boyega did for a living and his response was to point to the nearest Star Warsbillboard. (The one where he's wielding a lightsaber, of course.)

As one might expect, things were never quite the same after that. And there's another lesson in here too, folks: never take a first date to Times Square.

The bright spots in the dark era of Trump Twitter: political parody accounts

Sponsored by AMA News 
=>

Image: mashable composite: Christopher Mineses

Over the course of his first months in the White House, President Trump notoriously turned Twitter into his personal outlet for unhinged political venting. That of course inspired the creation of dozens of parody accounts that became tools of resistance, coping mechanisms, and light-hearted distractions from the political chaos.

A simple Twitter search for "Donald Trump Parody" reveals a collection of over 50 accounts, and though each tackles Trumps presidency with a different approach, they all set out with a common goal: to make Twitter in the Trump era a bit more bearable.

To get a better sense of what it takes to challenge Trump on his favorite social platform, we reached out to the creators of two of the most popular Trump parody accounts on Twitter and uncovered some intriguing facts about the 24/7 job.

For instance: One of the most thought-provoking accounts on Twitter was inspired by Trump's spat with the musical Hamilton.

While accounts like @RealDonalDrumpf and @mechanicaltrump attempt to imitate Trump's unique online behavior, tweeting with an excessive amount of exclamation points and bashing Obama and the Democratic party every chance they get, others, like @aTinyTrump, give followers a good laugh with the help of Photoshop.

The more serious parody account @DTrumpExposed, meanwhile, provides followers with essential information related to Trump's presidency and his administration, serving as an alternative source of news for those who want to stay in the loop.

@IfHillaryHad imagines American politics in an alternate reality, tweeting on a day-to-day basis as Hillary Clinton had she won the election. @BRIDGETTRUMPSD1 is a depiction of Trump's diary entries if they were written in the style of Bridget Jones. You know, very normal stuff.

Which brings us to @HalfOnionInABag, the scrap of a vegetable just looking to get more Twitter followers than Trump. It hasn't quite reached the president's 28.4 million, but 739,000 followers is still pretty impressive for a vegetable.

Trump now with maturity!

If there's anything we've learned from the overzealous, typo-ridden 140-character messages posted to the president's Twitter account, it's where there's a Trump tweet, there's room for improvement.

One man decided to take on the taxing job of editing those tweets to try and make the president's words sound more, well, presidential. Under the promise of anonymity, the 52-year-old creator of Mature Trump Tweets spoke to us about the inspiration behind the thought-provoking account, how life has changed since starting it, and what kind of impact he hopes his revised words have on the world.

Here's how he edited one of Trump's tweets about "fake news":

Since several early followers wondered if Barack Obama were behind the account, the creator has decided to go by the nickname Barry.

"I think he's failed to recognize, or worse doesn't care, that his words matter."

He began the account last fall, a few weeks after Trump won the election, as things on Twitter got more and more surreal.

"I think he's failed to recognize, or worse doesn't care, that his words matter," Barry said. "I became almost numb due to the Twitter assault that seemed to attack first amendment rights and lack of civility in his tone," he went on, identifying the president's Twitter beef with the cast of Hamilton as one of the events that drove him to create the account.

"I needed to do something because I felt powerless. So I decided to recreate his tweets and tweet the way I think a true diplomatic statesman would. It was cathartic for me, and I had a hunch it would be for others too."

Throughout the course of the young presidency, Barry's goals for the account have evolved. "Originally it was selfish. I needed an outlet," he explained. "I also was determined to not allow this type of tone to be normalized. That's a scary proposition."

Retweets from powerful social media voices like J.K. Rowling, Ricky Gervais, Seth McFarlane, and Mark Cuban were soon to follow. Mature Trump Tweets has 123,000 followers, some of whom have reached out to tell Barry how important the account is to them, offering to start GoFundMe or Kickstarter campaigns to ensure it remains up and running.

"Today, I have bigger goals," Barry admitted. "I think this could be a counter movement. One that espouses kindness, civility, decorum things I think Americans and people around the world truly want and crave."

Maintaining an account that directly responds to Trump's relentless Twitter activity isn't always easy. "I usually retweet Trump when he tweets, which means daily usually early in the morning or late at night," Barry said.

Barry also tweets whenever he feels the president should be tweeting, even if Trump remains silent. "Those are often the most popular, because it demonstrates the fact he seems tone deaf on what's important and what the majority of Americans want to hear from him."

Embracing the chaos through humor

During Trump's first month in office, executive order signing became something of a sport for President Trump and it wasn't long before 34-year-old Mike Gaines took notice.

With each document Trump presented, Gaines thought he resembled a proud little kid showing off his drawings to his parents. Gaines was inspired to take a more lighthearted approach to manage his political frustrations. Trump Draws a brilliant collection of photoshopped GIFs was born.

When Trump fired Sally Yates, the deputy attorney general who refused to defend his travel ban, the Los Angeles-based visual effects artist decided to transform the proud president into an ambitiously doodling toddler with the help of his iPad Pro, the app Procreate, and Adobe After Effects.

Gaines began posting to the account several times a week, showing Trump dramatically revealing drawings of cute little animals and holiday greetings, with timely political references. He misspelled captions (in too-real Trump fashion) and occasionally even doodled with his non-dominant hand to really capture the youthful aspect of his photoshop creations.

"In this increasingly divisive political world, the account somehow cuts through all the BS," Gaines said. It's "simply a way to laugh at the doodles of a very proud man, who just happens to be the president of the United States."

After the account which is currently at 439,000 followers received such a positive response from Twitter users, Gaines decided to expand the endeavor to include paintings in the White House, presentation tools, and really any other white surface begging to be memed.

"I feel like these accounts really are a bright light in a pretty dismal world right now, he said. "Laughing and comedy are the best way to cope."

Though Gaines refers to Trump as "a diamond mine for comedy," he thinks the president's seemingly unfiltered, unprofessional Twitter account is a true cause for concern. "Dude needs to pick a new game ... maybe trying to run the country instead?" he suggested, clarifying that he's not trying to use Trump Draws to make a political statement.

"I really just want to add some levity to this crazy political climate," Gaines said. "Sometimes you just need to see Trump childishly draw an elephant to get you through the day."

So simple, yet so effective.

Parodies FTW

Though its tough to say definitively whether Trump is the most parodied president in history I mean, even George Washington was subject to sketches The Donald does seem to have a big target painted on his back in the social media age.

Even when it comes to more recent presidents, a search for "Barack Obama parody" yields eighteen results on the platform. "George Bush parody" reveals a mere three. (Though, to be fair, Obama was elected when Twitter was only in its infancy.)

The takeaway? When it comes to being parodied on Twitter, Trump is winning. So much winning.

Trump rallies supporters in Pennsylvania on night of correspondents’ dinner

Sponsored by  our friends from Met001.biz 
=>

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is spending his 100th day in office not at the annual black-tie dinner that some say launched his bid for the White House, but with some of the people who sent him there.

Amid increasingly hostile relations between Trump and the media, Trump announced in February that he would not attend the White House correspondents' dinner Saturday night -- making him the first President since Ronald Reagan to miss the event (although Reagan, who was hospitalized after an assassination attempt at the Washington Hilton -- the same hotel serving as the venue for Saturday's dinner -- gave remarks by phone).
Instead, Trump is holding a campaign-style rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, one of the states he wasn't expected to win in November, with the aim of reminding some of his most ardent supporters that he has kept his campaign promises.
    Minutes into Trump's Harrisburg speech, he told the crowd just how much he preferred spending the evening with supporters than the Washington media.
    "A large group of Hollywood actors and Washington media are consoling each other in a hotel ballroom in our nation's capital right now," he said. "They are gathered together for the White House correspondents' dinner without the President.
    "And I could not possibly be more thrilled than to be more than 100 miles away from the Washington swamp spending my evening with all of you and with a much, much larger crowd and much better people," Trump added.
    Trump's absence from the dinner became a topic of conversation early in the event when White House Correspondents' Association President Jeff Mason received a standing ovation after professing that the press is not the enemy of the American people -- a reference to an attack line Trump delivered early in his presidency.
    "Tonight looks a little different, but the values that underpin this dinner have not changed. In fact I think they've been reinforced," he said. "We are here to celebrate the press -- not the presidency."
    "Freedom of the press is a building block of our democracy," Mason added. "Undermining that by seeking to delegitimize journalists is dangerous to a healthy republic."
    Although Trump is skipping the chance to mingle and joke with the media, which he has routinely lambasted as "fake news," the days leading up to his 100th in office, a traditional milestone for measuring an administration's early achievements, have perhaps seen him give the highest number of sit-down interviews to media outlets since he entered office.
    Tension between the President and news organizations has been a hallmark of his early administration.
    Several news organizations withdrew from the White House correspondents' dinner in protest of Trump's treatment of the media before Trump decided he would not attend. Vanity Fair and Bloomberg, which usually co-host an exclusive, star-studded after-party, have canceled that gala, while The New Yorker canceled its pre-party, which would have happened Friday.
    The dinner has attracted national attention for attracting A-list celebrities, but the original purpose has been to raise money for journalism scholarships. With Trump and many celebrities skipping this year's event, many media companies -- including CNN -- decided that instead of inviting celebrities as guests this year, journalism students would be their guests instead.
    The White House Correspondents Association also tapped "Daily Show" comedian Hasan Minhaj -- who harshly criticized Trump at the Radio and Television correspondents' dinner last year -- to perform Saturday. Speaking at the event will be Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who were Washington Post reporters when they famously broke the Watergate story that brought down President Richard Nixon.
    The last time Trump attended the dinner was in 2011, when he was a New York real estate mogul and reality-TV star who had just jumped into politics by getting involved in the "birther" movement, calling for President Barack Obama to release his birth certificate. Trump ended up being the butt of the jokes that night from comedian Seth Meyers and Obama himself.
    Trump's rally Saturday is taking place in a state that no Republican had won in a general election since George H. W. Bush in 1988. Trump will attempt to remind those who sent him to the White House that he has indeed kept his campaign-trail promises, despite evidence to the contrary.
    Hours before the dinner, Trump tweeted that the "FAKE media" failed to trumpet his accomplishments. But Trump enters his 100th day without having passed any major legislation and with the lowest approval rating of any president during this time period.
    Still, a recent poll by ABC News and The Washington Post showed him retaining support among his base, with 96% of people who said they voted for him saying they would do so again. Trump, who already announced his plan to run for re-election, has raised tens of millions of dollars before he marked his 100th day in the White House.

    Trump rallies his base on his 100th day

    Sponsored by  FreePLRArticles.biz 
    =>

    Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump hit hard at the news media at a rally Saturday in Pennsylvania to tout the accomplishments of his first 100 days, striking a tone both divisive and determined as he played to the populist sentiments of a cheering crowd.

    "It's time for all of us to remember that we are one people with one great American destiny, and that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, and we all share the same glorious freedoms of our magnificent country," Trump said, evoking the populist rhetoric of his inauguration speech after spending a large part of his Saturday remarks decrying the alleged shortcomings of the mainstream media.
    Among the crowd favorites at Trump rallies are the President's attacks on the press, and this was true again on Saturday, when many in the media were attending the annual White House correspondents' dinner in what Trump routinely calls the "swamp" of Washington -- setting up a prime-time duel with what has become his No. 1 foe, the media.
      "A large group of Hollywood actors and Washington media are consoling each other in a hotel ballroom in our nation's capital right now," Trump told the crowd. "They are gathered together for the White House Correspondents' dinner -- without the President. And I could not possibly be more thrilled than to be more than 100 miles away from Washington's swamp, spending my evening with all of you and with a much, much larger crowd and much better people."
      Trump held that divisive tone throughout the speech, prompting former presidential adviser and senior CNN political analyst David Gergen to call the remarks "deeply disturbing" in a special prime-time edition of "CNN Newsroom" with John Berman and Poppy Harlow.
      "This was the most divisive speech I have ever heard from a sitting American president," Gergen said. "Others may disagree about that. He played to his base and he treated his other listeners, the rest of the people who have been disturbed about him or opposed him, he treated them basically as, 'I don't give a damn what you think because you're frankly like the enemy.' I thought it was a deeply disturbing speech."

      Reagan adviser: Trump speech deeply disturbing

      MUST WATCH

      Trump, who found his stride during the campaign in front of large, cheering crowds across the country in states where his populist message resonates, took the stage Saturday night alongside Vice President Mike Pence.
      "There is no place I'd rather be than right here in Pennsylvania to celebrate our 100-day milestone, to reflect on an incredible journey together," Trump said.
      As expected, the President also addressed some of the biggest issues he has tried to tackle during his first 100 days in office. The threat from North Korea, getting a health care bill passed and possibly renegotiating the Paris climate accord were among the big talking points of the nearly one-hour speech.
      "I'll be making a big decision on the Paris accord over the next two weeks, and we will see what happens," Trump said on the same day that protesters backing action on climate change took to the streets in Washington and other cities across the country as part of the "People's Climate March."
      While Trump's raucous rally was straight out of his campaign playbook, he also did something he rarely does -- call out US congressmen from Pennsylvania who were in attendance by name.
      "We're going to give Americans the freedom to purchase the health care plans they want, not the health care forced on them by the government," Trump said. "And I'll be so angry at Congressman (Mike) Kelly and Congressman (Tom) Marino and all of our congressmen in this room if we don't get that damn thing passed quickly."
      In addition to speaking at the rally, Trump signed two executive orders in Harrisburg, one directing a review all US trade agreements and the second establishing the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy.
      This marks the first time in 36 years that a sitting president has not attended and spoken at the White House correspondents' dinner. President Ronald Reagan missed the dinner while recovering in the hospital from an assassination attempt, but he still made remarks by phone. Richard Nixon was the last president to skip the dinner completely.
      The last time Trump attended the dinner was in 2011, when he was a New York real estate mogul and reality TV star who had just jumped into politics by getting involved in the "birther" movement, calling for President Barack Obama to release his birth certificate. Trump ended up being the butt of the jokes that night from comedian Seth Meyers and Obama himself.
      But no matter where he was, the spotlight was on Trump on Saturday since the day also marked a significant milestone in the career of a president. After serving as commander in chief for 100 days, his achievements, as well as shortfalls, were being closely scrutinized.
      On paper, Trump lacks a major legislative achievement, has the lowest approval ratings of any new commander in chief since World War II, has seen several key immigration goals held up by the courts and has failed to deliver the health care overhaul he promised again and again on the campaign trail.
      Trump's sole big win has been the successful nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court -- something a president hasn't done in his first 100 days since James Garfield appointed a justice within that time frame 136 years ago.
      Trump, a longtime critic of the number of Obama's executive orders, issued more executive orders in his first 100 days than any other president aside from Harry Truman.
      Trump's first 100 days have also been plagued with controversy, from appointing his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner to key White House posts to dealing with allegations of possible ties between some of his campaign aides and Russia.
      His campaign promises on such major items as repealing and replacing Obamacare and overhauling the tax code -- things he rallied crowds with for months all over the country -- have yet to be enacted. Even his promise to build a wall on the border with Mexico has been caught up in a spending debate, with no support from Democrats and little to no progress being made.

      Trump rallies supporters in Pennsylvania on night of correspondents’ dinner

      =>

      Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is spending his 100th day in office not at the annual black-tie dinner that some say launched his bid for the White House, but with some of the people who sent him there.

      Amid increasingly hostile relations between Trump and the media, Trump announced in February that he would not attend the White House correspondents' dinner Saturday night -- making him the first President since Ronald Reagan to miss the event (although Reagan, who was hospitalized after an assassination attempt at the Washington Hilton -- the same hotel serving as the venue for Saturday's dinner -- gave remarks by phone).
      Instead, Trump is holding a campaign-style rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, one of the states he wasn't expected to win in November, with the aim of reminding some of his most ardent supporters that he has kept his campaign promises.
        Minutes into Trump's Harrisburg speech, he told the crowd just how much he preferred spending the evening with supporters than the Washington media.
        "A large group of Hollywood actors and Washington media are consoling each other in a hotel ballroom in our nation's capital right now," he said. "They are gathered together for the White House correspondents' dinner without the President.
        "And I could not possibly be more thrilled than to be more than 100 miles away from the Washington swamp spending my evening with all of you and with a much, much larger crowd and much better people," Trump added.
        Trump's absence from the dinner became a topic of conversation early in the event when White House Correspondents' Association President Jeff Mason received a standing ovation after professing that the press is not the enemy of the American people -- a reference to an attack line Trump delivered early in his presidency.
        "Tonight looks a little different, but the values that underpin this dinner have not changed. In fact I think they've been reinforced," he said. "We are here to celebrate the press -- not the presidency."
        "Freedom of the press is a building block of our democracy," Mason added. "Undermining that by seeking to delegitimize journalists is dangerous to a healthy republic."
        Although Trump is skipping the chance to mingle and joke with the media, which he has routinely lambasted as "fake news," the days leading up to his 100th in office, a traditional milestone for measuring an administration's early achievements, have perhaps seen him give the highest number of sit-down interviews to media outlets since he entered office.
        Tension between the President and news organizations has been a hallmark of his early administration.
        Several news organizations withdrew from the White House correspondents' dinner in protest of Trump's treatment of the media before Trump decided he would not attend. Vanity Fair and Bloomberg, which usually co-host an exclusive, star-studded after-party, have canceled that gala, while The New Yorker canceled its pre-party, which would have happened Friday.
        The dinner has attracted national attention for attracting A-list celebrities, but the original purpose has been to raise money for journalism scholarships. With Trump and many celebrities skipping this year's event, many media companies -- including CNN -- decided that instead of inviting celebrities as guests this year, journalism students would be their guests instead.
        The White House Correspondents Association also tapped "Daily Show" comedian Hasan Minhaj -- who harshly criticized Trump at the Radio and Television correspondents' dinner last year -- to perform Saturday. Speaking at the event will be Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who were Washington Post reporters when they famously broke the Watergate story that brought down President Richard Nixon.
        The last time Trump attended the dinner was in 2011, when he was a New York real estate mogul and reality-TV star who had just jumped into politics by getting involved in the "birther" movement, calling for President Barack Obama to release his birth certificate. Trump ended up being the butt of the jokes that night from comedian Seth Meyers and Obama himself.
        Trump's rally Saturday is taking place in a state that no Republican had won in a general election since George H. W. Bush in 1988. Trump will attempt to remind those who sent him to the White House that he has indeed kept his campaign-trail promises, despite evidence to the contrary.
        Hours before the dinner, Trump tweeted that the "FAKE media" failed to trumpet his accomplishments. But Trump enters his 100th day without having passed any major legislation and with the lowest approval rating of any president during this time period.
        Still, a recent poll by ABC News and The Washington Post showed him retaining support among his base, with 96% of people who said they voted for him saying they would do so again. Trump, who already announced his plan to run for re-election, has raised tens of millions of dollars before he marked his 100th day in the White House.

        Woodward and Bernstein: Journalism, free press more crucial than ever

        Sponsored by  E-book Vault - Free E-book's
        =>

        Washington (CNN)Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward of Watergate fame argued Saturday night that good journalism is more crucial to a free society than ever in a climate of increasing hostility between the White House and the press.

        The speeches from the revered journalists came on the occasion of the first White House correspondents' dinner since 1981 in which the sitting president did not attend. Ronald Reagan missed the dinner that year while recovering from an assassination attempt, but delivered remarks by phone. Before that, Richard Nixon was the last president to skip the dinner.
        Bernstein, a CNN contributor, led the remarks by saying that Nixon targeted the media in an attempt to divert attention from his own misconduct and that of his administration's officials.
          "Richard Nixon tried to make the conduct of the press more the issue in Watergate instead of the conduct of the President and his men," Bernstein said, speaking to a sold-out crowd in the nation's capital. "We tried to avoid the noise and let the reporting speak."
          Bernstein also addressed lying and secrecy in the Nixon White House, but stopped short of drawing a direct parallel to President Donald Trump's administration.
          "Almost inevitably, unreasonable government secrecy is the enemy and usually the giveaway about what the real story might be," Bernstein said to applause. "(W)hen lying is combined with secrecy, there is usually a pretty good road map in front of us."
          He added, "Yes, follow the money but also follow the lies."
          Woodward offered a critical reflection on the state of the mainstream media in 2017, but also emphasized its key role in American democracy.
          "Our reporting needs to get both fact and tones right," he said. "(T)he effort today to get the best obtainable version of the truth is largely made in good faith."
          Speaking to the absent Trump, he said, "Mr. President, the media is not fake news. Let's take that off the table as we proceed. ...
          "Whatever the climate, whether the media is revered or reviled, we should and must persist, and I believe we will," he said. "Any relaxation by the press will be extremely costly to democracy."

          10 memorable lines from comedian Hasan Minhaj at the WHCA dinner

          Sponsored by  E-book Vault - Free E-book's
          =>

          Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump was a no-show at the first White House Correspondents' Association dinner of his presidency. But that didn't keep "Daily Show" comedian Hasan Minhaj from addressing "the elephant not in the room."

          Trump was a target for Minhaj when he performed at the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association dinner last year, and Saturday night's routine wasn't much different.
          Jeff Mason, president of the White House correspondents group, said Minhaj wasn't chosen to "roast the President in absentia," but that's exactly what the 31-year-old comedian did.
            "I was looking for somebody who is funny and who is entertaining -- because I want the dinner to be entertaining -- but who can also speak to the message that the whole dinner is going to speak to ... the importance of a free press," Mason said earlier this month on MSNBC.
            Here are 10 of Minhaj's most memorable lines from the dinner:

            On being a minority in America:

            "That's why you gotta be on your 'A' game," Minhaj told the press. "You gotta be twice as good. You can't make any mistakes, because when one of you messes up he blames your entire group. ... And now you know what it feels like to be a minority."

            On the First Amendment:

            "This event is about celebrating the First Amendment and free speech. Free speech is the foundation of an open and liberal democracy from college campuses to the White House. Only in America can a first generation Indian American Muslim kid get on this stage and make fun of the President."

            On CNN:

            "Don, every time I watch your show, I feel like I'm watching a reality TV show. 'CNN Tonight' should just be called 'Wait a second! Now hold on! Stop yelling at each!' with Don Lemon."

            On Vladimir Putin:

            "We have to address the elephant not in the room. The leader of our country is not here. But that's because he's in Moscow."

            On Trump's frequent golfing outings:

            "Every time Trump goes golfing, the headline should read, 'Trump golfing. Apocalypse delayed. Take the W.' "

            On Kellyanne Conway and 'alternative facts':

            "Even if you guys groan, I've already hired Kellyanne Conway. She's gonna go on TV Monday and tell everyone I 'killed.' It really doesn't matter."

            On the Trump administration:

            "The news coming out of the White House is so stressful, I've been watching 'House of Cards' just to relax."

            On Frederick Douglass:

            "Frederick Douglass isn't here, and that's because. He's dead. Someone please tell the President!"

            On Afghanistan:

            "Historically, the president usually performs at the correspondents' dinner, but I think I speak for all of us when I say he's done far too much bombing this month."

            On headlining the WHCA dinner:

            "I would say it is an honor to do this, but that would be an alternative fact. It is not. No one one wanted to do this so of course it falls in the hands of an immigrant. That's how it always goes down."

            Trump rallies his base on his 100th day

            Sponsored by  E-book Vault - Free E-book's
            =>

            Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump hit on some of the biggest issues he has tried to tackle during his first 100 days in office at a rally Saturday in Pennsylvania, where he struck a consistently divisive and determined tone.

            The threat from North Korea, getting a health care bill passed and possibly renegotiating the Paris climate accord were among the big talking points of Trump's nearly one-hour speech on his 100th day as President, which he delivered to a crowd in Harrisburg.
            "I'll be making a big decision on the Paris accord over the next two weeks, and we will see what happens," Trump said on the same day that protesters backing action on climate change took to the streets in Washington and other cities across the country as part of the "People's Climate March."
              While Trump's raucous rally was straight out of his campaign playbook, he also did something he rarely does -- call out, by name, US congressmen from Pennsylvania who were in attendance.
              "We're going to give Americans the freedom to purchase the health care plans they want, not the health care forced on them by the government," Trump said. "And I'll be so angry at Congressman (Mike) Kelly and Congressman (Tom) Marino and all of our congressmen in this room if we don't get that damn thing passed quickly."
              Trump, who found his stride in front of large, cheering crowds across the country in states where his populist message resonates, took the stage Saturday night alongside Vice President Mike Pence.
              "There is no place I'd rather be than right here in Pennsylvania to celebrate our 100-day milestone, to reflect on an incredible journey together," Trump said.
              In addition to speaking at the rally, Trump signed two executive orders in Harrisburg, one directing a review all US trade agreements and the second establishing the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy.
              Among the crowd favorites at Trump rallies are the President's attacks on the press, and this especially rang true at Saturday's event because many members of the press are celebrating at the White House Correspondents' dinner in what Trump calls the "swamp" of Washington -- setting up a prime-time duel with what has become his No. 1 foe, the media.
              "A large group of Hollywood actors and Washington media are consoling each other in a hotel ballroom in our nation's capital right now," Trump told the crowd. "They are gathered together for the White House Correspondents' dinner -- without the President. And I could not possibly be more thrilled than to be more than 100 miles away from Washington's swamp, spending my evening with all of you and with a much, much larger crowd and much better people."
              Trump held that divisive tone throughout the speech, prompting former presidential adviser and senior CNN political analyst David Gergen to call the remarks "deeply disturbing" in a special prime-time edition of "CNN Newsroom" with John Berman and Poppy Harlow.
              "This was the most divisive speech I have ever heard from a sitting American president," Gergen said. "Others may disagree about that. He played to his base and he treated his other listeners, the rest of the people who have been disturbed about him or opposed him, he treated them basically as, 'I don't give a damn what you think because you're frankly like the enemy.' I thought it was a deeply disturbing speech."
              This marks the first time in 36 years that a sitting president has not attended and spoken at the dinner. President Ronald Reagan missed the dinner while recovering in the hospital from an assassination attempt, but he still made remarks by phone. Richard Nixon was the last president to skip the dinner completely.
              The last time Trump attended the dinner was in 2011, when he was a New York real estate mogul and reality TV star who had just jumped into politics by getting involved in the "birther" movement, calling for President Barack Obama to release his birth certificate. Trump ended up being the butt of the jokes that night from comedian Seth Meyers and Obama himself.
              But no matter where he was, the spotlight was on Trump on Saturday since the day also marked a significant milestone in the career of a president. After serving as commander in chief for 100 days, his achievements, as well as shortfalls, were being closely scrutinized.
              On paper, Trump lacks a major legislative achievement, has the lowest approval ratings of any new commander in chief since World War II, has seen several key immigration goals held up by the courts and has failed to deliver the health care overhaul he promised again and again on the campaign trail.
              Trump's sole big win has been the successful nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court -- something a president hasn't done in his first 100 days since James Garfield appointed a justice within that time frame 136 years ago.
              Trump, a longtime critic of the number of Obama's executive orders, issued more executive orders in his first 100 days than any other president aside from Harry Truman.
              It's also been 100 days plagued with controversy, from appointing his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner to key White House posts to dealing with allegations of possible ties between some of his campaign aides and Russia.
              His campaign promises on such major items as repealing and replacing Obamacare and overhauling the tax code -- things he rallied crowds with for months all over the country -- have yet to be enacted. Even his promise to build a wall on the border with Mexico is caught up in a spending debate, with no support from Democrats and little to no progress being made.

              Why Muslims are marching for climate

              Sponsored by  FreePLRArticles.biz 
              =>

              (CNN)From the cropless farmer to the beleaguered first responder to the person forced to evacuate their flooded home, we all have our reasons for caring about climate change. As an Indonesian-born Muslim living in California, it is my faith that compels me to protect our earth.

              For many people like me who cherish tolerance and clean air, the first 100 days of the Trump presidency have not been easy. As a Muslim immigrant to America, it has been painfully frustrating to witness the Trump administration reinforce xenophobia against both immigrants and Muslims.
              As someone whose faith is bound up with combating climate change, it hurt to see Trump impose an executive order that effectively denies the impacts of climate change I have seen with my own eyes.
                Frustration must never lead to resignation, however: that is why, on Saturday, I and many other Muslims will be marching in Washington, D.C. in solidarity with thousands of others for our climate and the protection of the vulnerable.
                Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings be upon him) leaves Muslims like me in no doubt as to the duty we humans share: "God has made the Earth green and beautiful, and He has appointed you as stewards over it," he said. There is no greater threat to our "green and beautiful" Earth than the more frequent and intense droughts, floods and storms brought by climate change.
                Muslim-majority countries around the world are some of the most severely affected by climate change impacts like heat waves, floods, droughts and extreme weather events like the recent famine in Somalia, which has led to more than 16 million people facing food shortages and death.
                Many Muslims live in parts of the world that are particularly vulnerable to climate change, such as Bangladesh and parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Pakistan is another country that is extremely short of freshwater resources. With a continuously increasing of climate crisis, the water availability has decreased severely, which then placed the country as water scarce nation and in turn it will have an adverse influence on poverty.
                Maldives is another Muslim-majority country that could become the first in history to be completely erased by the sea level rise at the turn of the century.
                And with last year's COP 22 taking place in Morocco, the responsibility has shifted to the governments of Muslim majority countries and their religious leaders to step up and play their role in the growing grassroots movement accross Muslim communities around the globe, to reverse the effects of climate change.
                That means phasing out greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible, shifting away from fossil fuels to clean sources of energy, including urging the Muslim petropowers and oil-producing nations to take the lead in the transition toward renewable energy based development. (Rich and oil states should phase out their emissions by the middle of the century and provide generous support to help the poor nations to combat climate change).
                The consequences of climate change are already having significant and costly affects on our communities, our health and our ecosystem. Globally, 2014, 2015 and 2016 were the three hottest years on record. From January to March 2017, the US experienced five billion-dollar weather and climate disasters, a national record that killed 37 people. Climate change likely worsened the impact of Colorado's deadly 2013 floods and has exacerbated droughts in California. Of course, it is always the poor and vulnerable who are impacted most.
                These facts and figures are no abstractions for me. In February 2007 I was in Jakarta, Indonesia's capital, as the city was paralyzed by severe flooding -- the worst in its history -- that inundated about 70 percent of the city, killed a number of people, cut off the highway connecting to the country's major airport and sent about 450,000 fleeing their homes.
                In January 2014, a couple years after I moved to the US, California Gov. Jerry Brown declared a "drought state of emergency" due to ongoing water shortfalls following the driest calendar year in state history. He asked Californians to cut their water usage by at least a fifth. As a California resident, I witnessed first hand firefighters battling a wildfire in San Diego County during the severe Santa Ana Wind and heat wave in 2016.
                I am not alone. Muslims -- and indeed the majority of Americans outside the White House -- are united on the urgency of the issue of climate change. In August 2015, I witnessed over 80 global Muslim leaders from over 20 countries release the Islamic Declaration on Global Climate Change in Istanbul, urging world governments to phase out fossil fuels and make a transition to renewable energy to tackle climate change.
                In December of that year, by signing the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, almost 200 governments set a path to do just that. The Global Muslim Climate Network, of which I am chair, is also doing its part to encourage more Muslims to focus on solutions and take concrete actions, such as running their local mosques on solar energy.
                By seeking to undermine the Paris Agreement, which the Trump administration could do if it decides to formally withdraw or which arguably it is already doing by seeking to eradicate climate regulations and funding for climate science research -- Donald Trump and his administration are reneging on a promise to have the interests of the vulnerable and forgotten at heart.
                Together with his divisive rhetoric against Muslims and immigrants, Trump represents a potentially disastrous departure from the inclusive and multicultural American society that I love.

                Join us on Twitter and Facebook

                Saturday's People's Climate March reminds me of a verse in the Holy Quran that says, "We have created you into different nations and tribes so that you may come to know one another." This march -- images of which will be shared around the world -- is a demonstration of how people are coming together to tackle one of the fiercest humanitarian and moral challenges humanity has ever faced.
                Muslims, including Muslim faith leaders and Imams, will be marching shoulder to shoulder with thousands of people of all faiths and those who ascribe to none.
                I'll be marching to show President Trump that I will not allow him to claim to represent the vulnerable while slashing the legislation that is designed specifically to protect them. I will not allow him to claim to represent the forgotten while he stokes further divisions within American society. We will already have achieved a lot in the fight against climate change -- a fight whose ultimate aims are peace and joy -- if we can overcome that which attempts to divide us, embrace each other and work together.
