Weathering a tough recession may have turned credit hungry consumers into wiser spenders as debit card usage has surpassed credit, says non-profit electronic payment group, SWACHA.
The group polled approximately 600 Texas residents; with 21% of the respondents saying that they reach for their debit card first (14% opt for their credit card). Additionally, 46% of the survey respondents said they pay off their credit card balance in full every month and 20% said they pay off their balance the majority of the time.
Houston Press writer Jeff Balke wrote that he understands how the trend is going more toward debit. "Personally, I have found this to be true of myself, particularly since 2008. Like many, I went through a tough time paying bills as my business's revenue dipped. I found myself fairly deep in credit card debt. Selling my house afforded me the opportunity to wipe it out, thankfully, and I have used credit cards sparingly ever since."
ABC News ran an article entitled, "10 Dumb Things You Do with Credit Cards" that further illustrated how consumers can get into a pickle with credit.
One example is making late payments. Not only will you be slapped with a fee, your account will be reported to a credit bureau if it is 30 days late. Credit card payment history makes up approximately 35% of your score.
Also, charging your card to the limit may also impact your score. In fact 30% of your credit score reflects card utilization.
Other errors that can hurt your financial position is going for a cash advance, ignoring the fine print (especially when you are dealing with a 0% introductory offer) and closing old credit card accounts.
Although the transformation from credit to debit may be across the board, credit unions report a direct increase in member usage--many with both credit and debit cards.
"UW Credit Union had a 13% increase in total debit purchases in the first half of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012," says Chad LaFlash, research and development director at UW Credit Union ($1.6 billion, Madison, WI). "But that aligns with our increase in checking accounts, so we haven't seen a trend unique to debit card usage." LaFlash adds that the credit union has not promoted debit cards in any special way over the past 12 months.
He notes that UW has also seen an increase in the number of credit cards carried by our members, due to promotional efforts and a new card offering last year. But the average usage of the credit union's members' cards has not increased.
Deb TenHave, card services manager at Redwood Credit Union ($2 billion, Santa Rosa, CA) said that the credit union is seeing both an increase in debit and credit card usage. "We are definitely seeing increased debit card usage at a significant rate. In fact, compared to this quarter last year, our debit transaction volume has increased 49.5%. An increase from 2011 to 2012 was only 22% for the same period."
Additionally, credit card usage has also increased. "About 13% year over year, but this is up only slightly from the prior year. So members are definitely increasing their debit card use at a much higher pace."
TenHave says that to some degree, consumer behavior is changing as they recognize the convenience and security of using a debit card over a checkbook. "Debit cards can be used for online transactions. Debit cards reduce paper waste and people in our Northern California communities tend to be very environmentally conscious. Also, online and mobile banking make it easy for members to track their transactions in real-time, so it really is convenient."
For Credit Union ONE ($730.8 million, Ferndale, MI), a special rewards program has helped to boost recent debit card usage. "We have experienced double digit growth in signature debit card usage, the consumer has to sign for purchase instead of using PIN, among Credit Union ONE members every year since 2010," says Swaminathan Seetharaman, senior vice president and chief marketing officer. "We launched our Cash Back Rewards Checking product in June of 2009; members earn one point for every $2 spent. When members earn 3500 points, they can redeem for cash ($25) or it is automatically credited to member's account every 12 months. This Rewards Program has changed the way our members use the debit card. During the same time, PIN debit usage remained flat. Credit Union ONE has paid out over $2 million in Cash Back Rewards since the launch of the Rewards Program."

RELATED: Mass malware on mobile devices: Why haven't we seen it yet?
7 Reasons we'll never solve the patent wars
Sounds ominous, doesn't it? The Internet masses are finally waking up to the nefarious intentions of their new search and social media overlords. But if you look a little closer, the scare mongering doesn't really hold up.
Here are the details, according to Reuters:
Of 4,781 respondents, 51 percent replied "yes" when asked if those three companies, plus Apple, Microsoft and Twitter, were pushing too far and expanding into too many areas of people's lives.
First of all, while 51% is technically a "majority," on a basic question like this, the results might be better described as pretty much an even split.
Second, there's a huge difference between agreeing when someone asks and actually caring enough to make even small changes in your behavior.
What you gonna do about it?
I'll believe that Google and Facebook truly have a privacy problem when significant numbers of people stop using Gmail, turn to Bing for search, and quit Facebook for a reason other than that it's not hip enough anymore.
So far, that's not what I'm seeing. Despite the doomsayers warning that "data flowing through the Web have translated into a candy store for criminals," the big problems still seem to come from attacks on corporate systems, like last year's Target incident. That's why polls have been coming back this way for years (see this similar poll from 2011), even as these companies continue to grow at a breakneck pace.
Support for that theory comes from a similar Reason-Rupe poll last fall. In that survey, only 11% named Facebook as the entity they trusted most to protect their privacy, while 22% said Google. The NSA was the most-trusted entity with 37%.
More damning evidence against Facebook and Google, right? Not so fast:
When responding to the question "Who do you think is most likely to violate your privacy?" the same respondents ranked the NSA as the number one organization among the group most likely to violate your privacy with 36 percent. Facebook came in second at 26 percent... and Google came in at 12 percent.
It just doesn't add up. People think they should be concerned about privacy, so they say they are when asked. But that's about it.
Not as worried as they should be?
Of course, none of this addresses the issue of whether or not people actually should be worried about their privacy in the hands of Google, Facebook, and their competitors. While I don't believe these companies are actively out to destroy their users' privacy, it seems pretty clear that protecting that privacy is far from their chief concern.
People who really care about their privacy should be very careful in their use of these services, or avoid them altogether. But for most people, the issue simply isn't important enough to garner anything more than lip service.I don't see that changing any time soon.

Summer is winding down, and I find myself unburdened by the bitter cynicism that typically plagues me this time of year. It's a pretty good time to be a moviegoer, relatively speaking, as it's rare thing indeed to look at a multiplex marquee and actually find a handful of films that are worth seeing ("The Smurfs," of course, notwithstanding).
This week we'll look at another strong late-summer release, and slated for next week is "30 Minutes Or Less." It should be good for a laugh or two, provided you can come to terms with the fact that it was apparently inspired by a horrific true-crime case that resulted in a mentally challenged man getting his head blown off by an exploding neck collar. I guess anything can be comedic fodder these days ...
I've always fancied that, given the opportunity, I would make a pretty good studio exec. However, the success of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" makes me question my gut instincts. On general principle, there's no way I would have green-lit the resurrection of a sub-par franchise from the '60s that had its shot at a rebound 10 years ago and failed miserably, especially when it includes two uses of "of the" in the title.
Six weeks ago I had this pegged as one of the sure-fire misses of the summer movie season, so imagine my surprise to find that, instead of a crass, naïve attempt at a reboot cash-in, it is in fact a carefully constructed, character-driven marvel of tight, no-frills storytelling. If I looked out my window right now to find a hoard of angry, marauding apes headed my way, I would not be any more shocked than I am right now.
More morality play than typical summer blockbuster, this "Planet of the Apes" envisions a not-too-distant future in which human greed and arrogance lays the groundwork for the primate-run society first seen in the 1968 film with Charlton Heston.
Our primary human protagonist is medical researcher Will Rodman (James Franco, looking way too spaced out to be believable as an M.D.), an altruistic lad who is working tirelessly to find a cure for Alzheimer's, the disease that is slowing destroying his father (John Lithgow). After a lab mishap involving an aggressive ape leaves him without a prime test subject for his regenerative "cure," Will secretly takes home that ape's offspring, named Caesar (played by Andy Serkis, king of the blue-screen), to conduct private research.
Over the course of eight years, Will and Caesar develop a bond that tows the uncomfortable line between father/son and master/pet. But it eventually becomes clear that, despite his hyper-intelligence and general good nature, the now-grown Caesar will never be able to co-exist in human society. He is sent to live in a common monkeyhouse, lorded over by cruel and/or inept overseers whose torments help foster in Caesar a sense of revolution. After gaining the trust of his fellow prisoners, Caesar acts decisively to free himself from bondage, stealing Will's supply of smart-gas and using it to assemble a small army of very strong, very intelligent and very pissed-off apes itching for some payback.
Viewers expecting an action flick will be disappointed. Most of the crazy monkey action is confined to the final 30 minutes, in which Caesar and his comrades declare war on mankind atop the Golden Gate Bridge. The action, when it comes, is incredible — visceral, engaging, and wrought with political subtext. But the film's chief pleasures lie in story structure and character development.
The film is divided into distinct three acts, and the most interesting is actually the second segment, in which Caesar is thrust into a prison environment and comes to embrace his true revolutionary nature. This part of the film plays out like a great, old-school prison-break flick, complete with effective archetypal personalities assigned to the key primates. This is also where the film makes the most of its political agenda, crafting a compelling and persuasive moral view that can only be described as anti-human.
The human cast is serviceable, even if it seems at times that Franco was cast as part of some elaborate inside joke that you were left out of. Lithgow is his usual awesome self, and lends some real humanity to the sequences involving Caesar's mostly tranquil "home" life. But the films rises or falls on the strength of Serkis' performance. The entire point of the film hinges on Caesar's own unlikely humanity, and without an actor so adept at working behind layers of computer-generated effects, there's simply no way any of this would have worked.
Serkis (who previously portrayed an ape to great effect in Peter Jackson's "King Kong" remake, and should have won an Oscar for his role as Gollum in the "Lord of the Rings" series) is a wonder to behold, even beyond the impressive FX that bring him to life as the endlessly expressive Caesar. He's also a hero you can get behind on both a philosophical and personal level, making this character a very promising subject for the chain of sequels that will inevitably come.
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is rated PG-13 for violence and profanity.

Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering revisionary breast augmentation surgery (regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of "goal" pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as "natural" or "D cup" or "nothing crazy" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery ( after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers). Viewing the patient's chest wall in the upright and supine positions, with temporary sizes in place, help select the best breast implant size/profile for the specific patient.
I hope this, and the attached link (dedicated to breast augmentation surgery concerns), helps. Best wishes.

Helen Mirren Has The Female "Body Of The Year"
We should probably start calling her Helen "Curvalicious" Mirren now. LA Fitness—yes, the gym chain—apparently conducted a survey of 2,000 members as to which celebrities have the hottest bodies. For dudes, a very predictable choice won—Mr. David Beckham. But surprisingly, Dame Helen was the top pick for women. Nearly 18 percent of those surveyed that she had the "Female Body of the Year," and this is over Jennifer Lopez, Pippa Middleton, Elle "The Body" MacPherson, and Kate Winslet. All this goes to show—senior citizens can be sexy, too. [People] Want to contact the writer of this post? {encode="[email protected]" title="Email her"}!

Ecology is the study of how living organisms interact with each other. Ecologists may study only part of an ecosystem, for example how a pride of lions in an African Savannah interact with each other and with their environment. They may study how agriculture affects the local ecosystem.
An ecosystem is a community of animals, plants etc together with non living stuff that affects these organisms. An ecosystem can be as large as the whole Earth or as small as a puddle. Ecosystems include autotrophs, that is living organisms that derive energy from non-living sources. Mostly autotrohps are photosynthetic plants that get energy from sunlight but some ecosystems in dark caves or by hydrothermal vents get energy from chemical reactions.

Why did you want to write Watercolour Rainbow?
There are many books on colour but they do not actually explain the properties of the pigments and why you would choose one particular red or blue, say, over another similar red or blue. This book explains why, and how to combine colours together for maximum clarity and radiance. From the response I have had it seems to have hit the mark.
You have a new exhibition opening in May, can you tell us about it?
The exhibition brings together paintings, mostly in watercolour, from the last couple of years while I was writing Watercolour Rainbow, and afterward. Some of the paintings from the book are featured in the show and then there are paintings from more recent travels to Sri Lanka, Tunisia, Italy and of course Southern Africa where I have a studio. I am obsessed with light and shadow and the patterns and shapes made by their effect on people, things, places, basically everything and anything is fuel for my brush.
What do you love about teaching painting?
I guess the immense joy, even bliss, I get out of painting I want to pass on, simple as that. I hate seeing watercolour paint abused so its partly to protect watercolour as well, and I get the greatest kick out of seeing someone turned on to watercolour or having their own revelation about something which sends them soaring to new confidence levels. Watercolour provides quite an adrenalin rush and that is an exciting experience to pass on.
Do you have a favourite book that you've written?
Oh that's a hard one, I love writing them all, I cannot wait to get up in the morning and get on with it. I found writing Watercolour Rainbow more challenging than any other book so far, so I guess in terms of the depth of satisfaction on completion Watercolour Rainbow is my current favourite.
You go abroad quite frequently to paint, where do you enjoy going? Does a change in surroundings help you work?
When I left College my professor told me to make sure I always travelled so as not to get stuck in a rut, I took his advice and as soon as I had earned enough money from sales of paintings I started travelling and have never stopped! I am a sun seeker because I like painting strong contrasts of light and shade and the bleaching effects of the sun on detail, plus I am always amazed at how little light is needed to break up darkness. So in general I travel to places where sunlight is more or less guaranteed and in that regard it definitely helps my work.
Can you tell us a bit about your new painting DVD? What was it like to work on?
I really enjoy filming. When I am looking into the camera I do not see the lens I see the person/audience I am making the DVD for, its weird, I just start talking to them and get quite carried away usually. It's always been like that since my days on Splash of Colour. When I have to check over the edit I find I do not think in the first person, ie I am worrying for 'her' not me, as I am watching her/myself painting on the DVD, I say things like 'stop, you'll overwork it' completely forgetting its all done and dusted. It's so strange.
What inspires you to paint?
Ever since I was young I drew and painted with my sisters, I am not sure where the urge comes from but I just have to paint, just want to paint. I am excited by what I see, it hits the stomach first usually, like butterflies rising but really pleasant. I am a figurative painter, drawn to what I see with my eyes, but I love abstract art and I see figurative art as abstract too, ie a pattern of colours and shapes on the flat surface of the paper which just happen, by some kind of coincidence, to look like something in or from the 3D ' real' world.
Do you have any favourite subjects to paint?
Light and shade, strong or subtle contrast, and shapes, both tangible shapes and the intangible shapes of spaces and gaps between them.

Okay, granted I am brand new to Spiceworks... but ... because I am new, perhaps that is why these suggestions may stand out for someone new:
1) Please, ALWAYS have the tab for scan errors available AND always allow for selecting any form of account/polling option to test (I.e. Windows, SSH, Telnet, SNMP). Maybe rename the tab Scan Helper?
Here is the reason... it must be very, very common for firewalls to block ports, use the wrong credentials, etc. What bothers me most right now is that I know exactly what a device is (I.e. a Windows Server, an XP PC, a Printer, a SAN drive, whatever). If I change the device type to "Server", I DO NOT get the choice to try out a Windows/SSH login. Why? If we had the scan error tab renamed Scan Helper and all the option were always available, this scanning task would be dramatically easier as I could quickly test each option as necessary no matter how a device was "auto-recognized".
NOTE: Please, consider adding a checkbox when adding a new account to PREVENT scanning other computers with the account. Some computers/devices have their own respective and unique credentials. It is really wise to scan all my unknowns every time I add an account?
2) NEVER, NEVER allow a scan to change a category of an asset added to a group manually. If I added a device to a group, it should stay there; it should not be reclassified when something goes wrong with a scan.
3) In the configuration section... PLEASE... have a list box with the successful polling options used (I.e. Windows account, SNMP, SSH). I have 5 servers connecting to Spiceworks that are essentially twins and a sixth that does not get scanned correctly. With this info in hand, I could quickly surmise what works in one server/device and not in another.
This topic was created during version 4.7.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Lawrie Dalman Consulting is an IT service provider.
Hi Trevor and welcome,
1) The Scan Errors tab only shows up if there are scan errors, once the issues are resolved for each device there is no need for it. That is to say the Scan Errors tab on each devices detail page.
When setting up a scan range an account is nominated for scanning authentication so in most cases the account used is a Domain Admin account where you're in an AD environment, or a common local Admin account for workgroup based networks. Then any devices in the range that need a different account or method are configured as additional specific scan details in Settings > Network Scan > Scan Entries. This happens automatically when the change is made from the Scan Errors tab of devices.
However, if the device needs an alternate mathod of scan authentication, say SSH or SNMP rather than Windows (which is usually the default method) this needs to be done directly in the Scan Entries on the Network Scan page, in order to access methods other than the default method.
It might be a useful Feature Request to allow selection of a different authentication method from the Scan Errors tab.
As for excluding devices from being scanned this is also done from the Settings > Network Scan page under Exclusions or can be done by selecting a device in the inventory and then delete the device and a dialog opens offering a chackbox to exclude this device from future scans.
2) It is not wise to add Devices manually to a group when it has scan errors, the next time it is scanned it is going to be reassigned. Spiceworks makes judgements about devices with scan errors, which may not always be correct, but generally once scan errors are cleared your custom assignemnts of devices do not change. This too might make another Feature Request.
3) This too sounds like a Feature Request.
There are loads of us using Spiceworks and the bigest issue initially is resolving scan errors, one your over this hump it does get much easier.
Do you need any additional help with resolving your scan errors? (I did read you post re: scanning SLES Linux).
Visit the Feature Requests and look or search for any matching requests for your needs, if you find suitable requests Spice them up to enhance the likelyhood of seeing them in a future release. If you don't/can't find a suitable request feel free to make your own, which others can then spice up too. A great way for we users to contribute to the development path Spiceworks takes.

Template:Nofootnotes Bobby Darling is a popular Indian actor who acted in Hindi and Tamil films. His original name is Pankaj Sharma. He himself as well as the contemporary Indian media call him as a gay man, who dresses more or less like a woman; however, his repeated claims that he feels himself to be a woman inside the body of a man would make him, by modern medical terminology, a transsexual person.
Pankaj Sharma was born in Delhi. He is the second of three children of an English professor and a bank manager named As a young boy, he played only with girls and wanted to be a woman. In the eighth grade, he started using his mother's lipsticks, saris and bras. In the 12th grade, he had his first serious relationship with a male classmate. His parents took him to a sexologist, a psychiatrist, and even a temple.
One day he ran away with his boyfriend, because he was afraid of flunking the final exams. The couple travelled to the Far East and Europe, doing odd jobs. He returned when his father called him to say his mother was dying of kidney failure. After his mother's death, Pankaj tried to become a teacher by joining Khalsa college. His father disowned him through a legal notice published in newspaper.
Pankaj then came to Mumbai from Delhi. He spent a fortnight at the station, sleeping on stairs. He was invited to live with four girls, who worked in a dance bar in Malad. The girls told him about a gay man who used to earn a lot as a dancer. Bobby Darling decided to become a dancer, and earned Rs. 170 for his first performance. He decided to become an actor after reading Bollywood actress Rekha's interview, in which she said: "If you're famous, people love you for being famous. They don't care about your personal life".
He struggled for two years before he started getting small roles in films. He started getting known as "Bobby Darling" (Bobby was Pankaj's pet name). He also became a known name in Mumbai's party circuits.
Acting careerEdit
Bobby Darling has worked in many Hindi films such as Taal, Style, Na Tum Jaano Na Hum, Maine Dil Tujhko Diya, Stumped, Chalte Chalte, Valentines Day, Page 3, Navarasa, Kyaa Kool Hai Hum, Apna Sapna Money Money and Tum.

The Culture Diaries
A Week in Culture: Happy Menocal, ArtistBy Happy Menocal
1 A.M. Go to bed with Mason Currey's Daily Rituals, a book about the work habits of famous artists, writers, philosophers, musicians, etc. Resolve to have a regimented, productive day tomorrow. All these people seem to subsist on coffee and alcohol and amphetamines. I feel like a toddler with my juice and crackers and noodles.
7:45 A.M. Begin work on a little ad that's due today for Stubbs & Wootton—fancy slippers made in Spain. It's for a promotion they're doing during the Ides of March. Someone at the company started the e-mail chain for the ad with the subject line "Eyes of March," and I kinda want to do the visual about that. Decide instead to just paint Caesar, wearing the slippers, looking warily over his shoulder. I google "man sitting on column" because I want Caesar to be sitting on a crumbled stump of a column, and find this devil dog.
My husband and I puzzle over where our two thousand terrible black umbrellas have gone, as now it's raining and we have only one. He doesn't bring it up this morning, but most times when we're on the subject John likes to note that the pebbled plastic hook on the common street umbrella reminds him of that embalming tool they used in ancient Egypt to take your brain out through your nose.

SIENA, Italy, April 29 (Reuters) - Italy's third biggest bank, Monte dei Paschi di Siena, needs to be able to pay back cheap funds it borrowed from the European Central Bank on schedule and without hurting the lender's liquidity, its CEO said on Tuesday.
"The liquidity situation has improved a lot but there is still a lot of work to do. We need to create the conditions to pay back the LTRO fully respecting the deadline," CEO Fabrizio Viola told a shareholder meeting.
The bank borrowed 29 billion euros in three-year funds through the Longer Term Refinancing Operations launched by the ECB in December 2011 and February 2012. These funds have to be repaid by the end of February 2015. The bank has so far reimbursed 1 billion euros. (Reporting by Silvia Aloisi and Stefano Bernabei; editing by Francesca Landini)

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
He also has a bond...I dont understand the cause of the hold if his paperwork is in tact..:(
Even if your husband has a GC, an immigration hold can be placed on him by ICE if he is being held by the state for a crime he committed. ICE typically places a "hold" on any non-citizen which it finds incarcerated in state custody.
He must have most likely posted the state bond. That will get him released from state custody, pending criminal court trial, or maybe not, if he already agreed to a plea bargain.
Immediately upon being released from state custody, your husband will be transferred to an immigration detention center, where he will be processed, with an NTA issued for his deportation, if the crime he was convicted of is a "removable offense " .
A good criminal defense lawyer working in tandem with a competent immigration lawyer can make all the difference in the world in his case.

He can be deported even if he has a lawyer. It will depend on his facts and circumstances. The information you submitted seems to indicate that a bond was paid? and he's still in custody but has status? That leads me to believe there is a criminal issue? You need to submit all of your husband's documentation to an experienced deportation lawyer to clarify and begin working to keep your husband here with you.Ask a similar question

Lucy Li & Vanessa S – Magic Moment
Released: July 9, 2015
This is definitely a magic moment for Vanessa. Just the chance to look at Lucy's unbelievable tits in real life is a joy but to actually touch them, to hold them, to put on in your mouth and suck on it as she lays there moaning and groaning in pleasure is, well…magical. Vanessa rubs and grinds her body up and down on top of Lucy before they undress each other and get down to some serious carpet munching. Vanessa's pussy is already wet before it even begins and by the time Lucy is done she is shuddering with pleasure.

Country singer Justin Moore made headlines recently when he revealed that he was supporting Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump. Moore, known to be outspoken, wasn't worried about the backlash and has stood by his statement. The singer went into more detail with Taste of Country during a behind-the-scenes interview at the Academy of Country Music Awards.
"At the time, Trump is my guy. I'm a Republican, and I think it's gonna take something out of the box in order for them to win the presidency,"Moore said before admitting that Trump has some issues he needs to work on. "He's gotta tone down some things, and I don't know if this last week helped him."
While Moore is continues to support Trump, he doesn't seem too thrilled with the idea.
"There's not a whole lot of good options to be honest with you", he added with a laugh.
So why exactly is Justin Moore supporting Donald Trump? In a recent interview with Cody Alan during CMT After Midnight, Moore explained his reasons.
"I like the fact that he evokes a sense of winning, you know?" he said. "I know it's offensive to some people, and I'm not going to say I agree with everything he says, clearly. I think he's just wacky enough to actually go do it. He doesn't like to lose. I think he'll win for our country if he were to get in there."
Moore isn't the only country star to throw their support behind Donald Trump. Loretta Lynn and Kenny Rogers have both vocally supported a Trump Presidency. But, it seems as if the country music community is as divided over the nomination as the rest of the country. Just weeks before his death, Merle Haggard shared his two cents about Donald Trump.
According to Rolling Stone, Haggard had been "watching Donald Trump's campaign with amusement and concern." "He's not a politician," Haggard says. "I don't think he understands the way things work in Washington, that's what worries me about him. I don't think he realizes he can't just tell somebody to do something and have it done, you know. I think he's dealing from a strange deck."
What do you think? Do you agree with Justin Moore, or are you siding with Merle?
