Welcome back to "Stream of Kurtiousness!" I'm back from CPAC, and yes, there were different vibes this year. I don't believe it's a harbinger for the America First movement. Matt Gaetz spoke, and so did Steve Bannon. I can't say I'm a fan of either of them. I'm not really sure what this says about the America First movement. After all, this wasn't in Washington, DC. People were struggling through TSA lines and weren't going to travel for the trip. 

Chris Stigall announced his candidacy for Congress, and he's doing it for all the right reasons. He is a believer and is ready to do the work. He's not doing it for attention, the glamor, or any of the wrong reasons. Contrast with the left, who just had their "No Kings" rally. It's amazing how old and white this group of people was. If you are a racist, you may enjoy a "No Kings" protest because there is zero diversity. What's never been clearer is that these people are getting paid.

The protestors think they have Trump on the run. There's no doubt that his poll numbers are down, and we are currently in a tough polling cycle. He knows that he has to eliminate the threat from Iran, and when he does, America's economy will shoot back up again!
