"welders make more money than philosophers." trump offered simple advice from a man who made it with nothing but a million dollar steak from his father. "people have to go out and work really hard if they want to get into that yumer stratum." trump's plan without documentation was trashed without kasich who called the idea "silly not an cult in depail. trump's response? company worth billions. i don't have to hear this." for trump believers, last night was likely more affirmation.

them several hundred feet. he was charged with assault and weapon. it has been reported in the past that he had a bad driving record and a criminal record. the taxi drivers association says they are much tougher on background checks for their drivers and if gilbert had applied for a job with them, he never would have been hired. morning. >> all right, susie, thank you. >> i took the training and went into action in less than three days. >> this is a fitchburg man who learned how to use narcan in the nick of time. the man was aware of the growing opiate epidemic in the area. alfred trained on narcan, a
