Daily Newsletter May 11, 2016

Happy Wednesday. On this day in 1846, James K. Polk asked Congress to declare war against Mexico, proving that all of Donald Trump's ideas really do come from the 19th century.

Trump Dismisses White Nationalist From Campaign Because It's the General Election Now

DONALD TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN blamed a "database error" Tuesday for his staff selecting self-avowed white nationalist William Johnson as a delegate for the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this summer.

JOHNSON IS THE CHAIRMAN of the American Freedom Party, which says it protects the interests of "White Americans" and presumably also "Guys who prefer to watch 'Roots' backwards and think Jackie Robinson ruined baseball."

NOW THAT TRUMP'S DATABASE is being fixed, it can go back to what it was always intended to do – track all Muslims.

In Moving Show of Solidarity, West Virginia Votes for the Angry White Guys

WEST VIRGINIA VOTERS provided another huge primary win Tuesday night for Donald Trump, presumably the first billionaire to set foot in the state for something other than a mining death lawsuit.

IN FAIRNESS, Trump has long offered the state’s unemployed coal miners second careers playing the slots in his casinos.

AS FOR THE STATE'S DEMOCRATS, they picked Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton, who beat Barack Obama there in 2008 – reminding us that when it comes to West Virginia, rock beats scissors, a white woman beats a black man, and a white man beats them both.

Gene Simmons Blasts Prince for Being Addicted to Drugs Instead of Attention, Porn & Money

KISS FRONTMAN GENE SIMMONS wagged his finger at Prince’s alleged painkiller habit on Tuesday, lamenting that one would turn to drugs (especially when there are such nobler addictions like stalking women, harassing women and settling with women out of court).

“HOW PATHETIC THAT HE KILLED HIMSELF,” said the man who once told NPR’s Terry Gross to welcome him with open legs. “Don’t kid yourself, that’s what he did.”

IN FAIRNESS, the modestly-talented Simmons may have just been jealous that Prince showed him up, by writing songs that managed to rhyme the word “you” with things other than “do,” “true,” or “poo.”

The GOP Benghazi Panel's Most Unsettling Finding Yet

NO, KURT RUSSELL & GOLDIE HAWN WERE NOT SPOTTED WEARING TRUMP ATTIRE. Spray tans are for everyone.

WHOOP, THERE IT IS—After all 7 of her kids got whooping cough, Tara Hill has abandoned the anti-vaccination movement – or, you could say, she finally built up an immunity to it.
