BANGOR, Maine (AP) - Former Maine Gov. Paul LePage says any elimination of the Electoral College would hurt white people.

LePage told WVOM radio that allowing the popular vote to choose the president would give minorities more power and that "white people will not have anything to say."

Proposals to eliminate the Electoral College are sometimes floated but fail to gain traction. A Maine legislative committee plans to discuss a proposal this week.

LePage says cutting the Electoral College would mean there is never another presidential candidate from small states like "Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Wyoming, Montana, Rhode Island."

While governor, LePage blamed out-of-state, minority dealers for bringing drugs into Maine and added that they often impregnate "young, white" girls while in Maine.

Pennsylvania state Senate. There's an April 2 election coming for a Republican-leaning seat near Pittsburgh, in exactly the sort of territory where Democrats made their midterm gains. The party's nominee, Pam Iovino, ran for the congressional nomination that went to Rep. Conor Lamb (D); her current campaign follows the same themes, highlighting her life in the military.

That makes the first negative ad from D. Raja, the Republican nominee, an interesting preview of how 2019 and 2020 could shake out. In “Vision,” Raja is seen talking to workers on shop floors, a contrast with a Democrat who “wants to stop our growth by teaming up with extremists who want billions of dollars in energy taxes.” Images of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) flash on-screen; their link to Iovino isn't explained, nor are the energy taxes, but Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are taking their spots in the Mount Rushmore of attack ads.

Without notifying his followers or even his inner circle, the longtime president of a legacy neo-Nazi group has signed over its control to a black civil rights activist from California.

James Hart Stern, a 54-year-old with a history of infiltrating white supremacist groups, is the new leader of the National Socialist Movement. And his first move as president was to address a pending lawsuit against the neo-Nazi group by asking a Virginia judge to find it guilty of conspiring to commit violence at the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017.

It’s almost Mueller time — that long-awaited moment when special counsel Robert S. Mueller III releases the findings of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election — and when it is, The Washington Post will quickly have a book on it.

The Washington Post is teaming up with Simon & Schuster imprint Scribner on “The Mueller Report,” which will be available in e-book and paperback form within days of the release of the highly anticipated document, The Post and Scribner announced Thursday.

The book will include the report itself along with context from The Post, edited by national security Editor Peter Finn, including an introduction by investigative reporters Rosalind S. Helderman and Matt Zapotosky, a timeline of key events, and a rundown of the cast of characters involved in the drama.

The 13 Keys to the Presidency say that Trump WILL GET REELECTED. The Keys do change, and the election is 20 months away so things could change. HOWEVER, they would have to change a lot.

The originator of the keys writes in the link provided.

While it may very well be that Trump IS re-elected (God forbid), I wonder if "traditional" keys can be predictive of such an nontraditional presidency. I think we can all agree that these are somewhat unprecedented times and this is an unprecedented presidency.

“For the Democrats to interview in open hearings a convicted liar & fraudster, at the same time as the very important Nuclear Summit with North Korea, is perhaps a new low in American politics and may have contributed to the “walk” Never done when a president is overseas. Shame!"

No words can sum up my disgust

When Shine assumed command at Fox, the 2016 campaign was nearing its end, and Trump and Clinton were all but tied. That fall, a FoxNews.com reporter had a story that put the network’s journalistic integrity to the test. Diana Falzone, who often covered the entertainment industry, had obtained proof that Trump had engaged in a sexual relationship in 2006 with a pornographic film actress calling herself Stormy Daniels. Falzone had worked on the story since March, and by October she had confirmed it with Daniels through her manager at the time, Gina Rodriguez, and with Daniels’s former husband, Mike Moz, who described multiple calls from Trump. Falzone had also amassed e-mails between Daniels’s attorney and Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen, detailing a proposed cash settlement, accompanied by a nondisclosure agreement. Falzone had even seen the contract.

But Falzone’s story didn’t run—it kept being passed off from one editor to the next. After getting one noncommittal answer after another from her editors, Falzone at last heard from LaCorte, who was then the head of FoxNews.com. Falzone told colleagues that LaCorte said to her, “Good reporting, kiddo. But Rupert wants Donald Trump to win. So just let it go.” LaCorte denies telling Falzone this, but one of Falzone’s colleagues confirms having heard her account at the time.
