Contest the election in several states across the country and his efforts last night, comments last night. Sure. First i say elections have to accomplish two purposes, first of all they have to decide the outcome, a winner, in this case the presidency. But secondly they have to do that in a manner that satisfies the loser and the losers supporters that the outcome is just. I think thats where this election probably has fallen short. So i think its understandable that the president and many of his supporters, including me, have many questions about this election. Frankly we saw an unprecedented number of changes to the election procedures across the country. Many of those procedures not tested before this election.

So far 306 electoral votes for joe biden, 232 for President Trump. The popular vote standing at 81 million for joe biden and 74 million for President Trump. Here is the headline reporting in the Washington Post. Trump escalates election attacks in 46 minute video rant. They say trumps video represented his most comprehensive remarks about the election and came after he spent the month since the election hidden from public view say for a handful of appearances and a call in on fox news channel. Any hope of the president might be coming to grips with his loss and accepting the fact that joe biden will be sworn in as president was dashed by his combative and emphatic tone, which amounted to a call to arms to his supporters. The fight is paying dividends with trumps political operation. Using a bl
Country musics grand old opery. Today we are at the historic Ryman Auditorium in downtown nashville, tennessee. The nickname of the Ryman Auditorium was the Mother Church of Country Music, which definitely tells the history of both things that it is famous for. It was built by a river boat captain who was famously converted under a tent in downtown nashville in may of 1865, and after his conversion, he believed that traveling ministers should have a permanent home inside that was large enough to take the large crowds of the traveling ministers who came to town. Captain ryman built the Ryman Auditorium and it opened at first in 1892 as a tabernacle. That is the church part of the history. The music part of the history, the Country Music part deals with the grand ole opry, which came here in 1943 after being in many different homes in nashville and stayed here until 1974 when the new opry house was built. During the run of the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s, some of the most famous people in all
