| THE PRIDE OF BALTIMORE |
 |
| THE BIG EAGLE |
Saturday, 8:00 AM. 64 degrees F at the ferry dock, 61 on the back porch. Wind variable and calm at present. The sky is mostly overcast and cloudy after a trace of rain fell last night. The humidity is 94% and the barometer is more or less steady, at 29.85". We may get some thundershowers today, but it should clear for Sunday and Monday and turn warmer.
Two big and beautiful ships were in the Port of Bayfield yesterday, one a tall sailing ship, the other a luxurious motor yacht. The Pride of Baltimore II is a Baltimore clipper sailing ship. It was built as replacement for the Pride of Baltimore I, a reproduction of the original ship of that name, famous as a privateer in the War of 1812. That ship was lost at sea in 1986 with the loss of four crew members. The Pride of Baltimore II was built to replace it, and sails the seas (and the Great Lakes) as a goodwill ambassador for the City of Baltimore and the State of Maryland. It stopped in Bayfield on its way to Duluth for the annual Tall Ships Parade.
Docked next to the Pride of Baltimore II is The Big Eagle, built in 1980 as a luxury rental yacht. It sleeps 12 and has a crew of ten. It is registered, I am told, in the Canary Islands, and again I am told, rents to private corporations and such for $150,000 a week. I don't know its mission to Bayfield, but I hope its good for local businesses.

OFF THE CUFF
Donald Trump speaks truth to power, and is getting hammered for it by both the Democratic and Republican elites, and does not get fair press coverage, as all three entities misrepresent his statements in the most outrageous fashion and twist his every word until they no longer mean what he actually said.
I have heard most of what he has said, and watched how he said it, and although he can sometimes be as sloppy in his speech as you or I, he says what he means, not what his opponents say he means.
This type of reporting and totally unprincipled conniving is nothing less than character assassination, and the elites and their press allies are killing Trump word by twisted word. These three devils are doing a great disservice not only to Donald Trump the candidate, but to the country, as these unprincipled attacks have a chilling effect on all free speech and on all dissent. A democracy (think Weimar Germany confronted by Hitler) cannot withstand this type of unrelenting sabotage.
Trump speaks mostly without a teleprompter, that great facilitator of lies and disinformation, and I hope he continues to do so throughout his campaign, and that as many people as possible actually hear what he says, because much of what he says is indeed the truth, which is more than can be said for his opponents.
Sick of the dissembling and self-serving elites of both the right and the left (they all report to the same masters) and their puppy dog press corps? Then listen to Donald Trump, unfiltered.
