Imagine He was a Nigerian, Disneyland would have been closed by now.

The former president told the crowd of Democrats he had been to Disneyland twice in his life, the first when he was 11. It was his first “big” trip to the mainland from Hawaii, Obama was with his grandmother, mother and younger sister.

“There is no better time to go to Disneyland than when you’re 11 years old,” he told the crowd. Although he travelled across the United States, he said Disneyland was the highlight.
The second time Obama went, he was in college.
“We came down here not to go to the Matterhorn or to do Pirates of the Caribbean, but to see Kool and the Gang.
“We went into the gondolas,” Obama continued. “And I’m ashamed to say this, so close your ears young people … but a few of us were smoking.”
The anecdote was greeted with laughter and cheers from the audience.
“These were cigarettes, people,” he clarified. “I’m a teenager, I’m rebellious.”
“As we’re coming in, there are these two very large Disneyland police officers and they say ‘Sir, can you come with us?’ and they escorted us out of Disneyland.”
Obama went on the explain even when he was being escorted out, he was told he was “welcome back anytime”.
Of course this story prompted a lot of people to express their admiration for the popular former President, or judge his youthful indiscretions.

Although his story of Disneyland was amusing, the tone of the rally was more sinister.

Clashes between Kurdish forces and regime fighters in the divided northeastern city of Qamishli killed 18 combatants Saturday, the Kurdish forces and a war monitor said.
The rare flare-up in the Kurdish-majority city near the Turkish border saw 11 regime fighters and seven Kurds killed, the Kurdish security forces known as Asayesh said in a statement.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor, reported the same death toll for the fighting near a Kurdish checkpoint in the city.

The Asayesh said a regime "patrol opened fire on our forces with light and medium weapons, causing our forces to respond to this violation, which killed 11 regime fighters... and seven of our comrades".
The Observatory said the shootout started when Asayesh members at the checkpoint asked regime fighters aboard a patrol vehicle to step out but they refused.

Barack Obama spoke President Donald Trump’s name for the first time to criticize his successor for fanning the flames of bigotry.

The former president criticized Trump for exploiting historic tensions to halt progress in civil rights, but he said the current president is not to blame for racism and other hateful ideas.


“It did not start with Donald Trump,” Obama said. “He is a symptom, not the cause. He’s just capitalizing on resentments that politicians have been fanning for years.”

Obama also took a shot at Trump’s claims about the economy.
“When you hear how great the economy’s doing right now, let’s just remember when this recovery started,” Obama said. “I mean, I’m glad it’s continued, but when you hear about this economic miracle that’s been going on, when the monthly job numbers come out, Republicans say, ‘It’s a miracle.’ I have to remind them and say those job numbers are the same as they were in 2015 and 2016.”

“But anyway,” he said, as the crowd laughed, “I digress.”

Virginia GOP Senate nominee Corey Stewart is one of Donald Trump’s most consistent and fervent supporters. The native Minnesotan is known for his sympathy for conspiracy theories and for his flirtations with the “alt right.” Conservatives in Virginia have watched with amazement as Stewart cheers the 45th president at every turn, declining to criticize even his most craven and outrageous antics.

Behold, Stewart has finally found a reason to express apprehension about something Trump did. “I almost never differ with President Trump,” he explained in a somber email to supporters, “but in this case I do.” What was the disgrace that Stewart just couldn’t look past? The president’s proposal to freeze the pay of federal employees in 2019, which the White House put forward as part of its budget negotiations. Whether the administration sticks to its position is an open question, but most conservatives like the idea, believing that the federal workforce is too large and frequently overpaid, especially in the greater D.C. area.

Not Corey Stewart. “Federal employees in Virginia,” he wrote in an email to supporters, “wake up early, face punishing traffic and work hard to serve their nation and support their families. These workers need and deserve a pay raise."
