I might be wrong on the number, but we could be looking at our third WWE superstar in political office after Jesse Ventura and Trump.

Quote:
The longtime star pro wrestler known as Kane is looking to move from the squared circle to city hall.

Glenn Jacobs, who portrays WWE star Kane, has filed paperwork to run for mayor of Knox County, Tenn., according to WBIR Knoxville.

Jacobs, a Republican, is a former WWE world champion.

"Knox County is a great place and we're so happy and feel so blessed to live here. I want to do my part going forward,” Jacobs reportedly said.

The election is more than a year away: May 1, 2018. But candidates must meet various paperwork deadlines before then to be eligible.

Incumbent Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett is term-limited and can’t run again.

Why would you allow other folks or the government to legislate what you do with the very lives of your own family? You mention "there are other options" but ground level and government action against pro-choice is taking away options from real families because other people want to stick their noses and values into something that should be none of their business.

Murders of people I don't know are not pretty and not nice but as a society we still care right? Look at an Ultrasound and tell me that its ok to kill the baby because of financial reasons.

No he can't. He can only address the one or two posts that he can respond to with statements about how he feels about a subject.

If he were to respond to those other ones, he might have to give the topic some critical thought.

Where does every good quote come from? The West Wing, of course.

White House prepping to throw Ryan under the bus if the vote on the AHCA fails. Ryan should respond by firing Nunes.

Quote:
In public, President Donald Trump is standing by House Speaker Paul Ryan over the Obamacare replacement bill.

Behind the scenes, the president’s aides are planning to blame Ryan if there is an embarrassing defeat on a bill that has been a Republican goal for more than seven years, a senior administration official said.

The House is expected to vote this afternoon on the health bill, which is opposed by all Democrats and may not enjoy enough support among either conservative or moderate Republicans. The conservative House Freedom Caucus negotiated several changes to the bill to win over its members.

Ryan is coming to the White House to brief Trump on the bill’s status, three Republican officials said. Several House Republicans including the chairman of the Appropriations Committee announced in the morning that they would vote against the measure, making its prospects grim.

On Thursday, Trump’s chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, took the unusual step of traveling to Capitol Hill to deliver an ultimatum: take the vote on Friday, win or lose. Ryan had sought to carefully build a majority for the bill, and it would be highly unusual for him to call the vote without knowing if it would pass.
