President Donald J. Trump was a tad upset that the Nordstrom department store dropped daughter Ivanka's clothing line. The reason was not political. The clothing line was dropped due to poor performance. Still, the president was not happy and Tweeted out that Ivanka was unfairly treated. Now judging from Donald's line from Macy's, I'm sure Ivanka's clothing line was not much better. Just check this out:

The point is, stores like Macy's don't like the conflict of interest. It was anything personal with then-candidate Trump when that department store drop his line of so-called clothing including those "gorgeous" dress shirts.

There was never this much brouhaha when Dollar Tree dropped US Senator Bernie Sanders' line of BernieTies. Senator Sanders understand quite well that there was a conflict of interest.

Take time out for Virginia’s Shenandoah region

Dressed in our blue “Virginia Is For Lovers” T-shirts (which I kept for several years after), we rolled down the windows of our spacious Oldsmobile to take in the scenery.

Flashback: Billy Joel's Sax Player (Mark Rivera profile-March 2007)

-
It is 2:30 in the afternoon at Midtown Atlanta's Four Seasons Hotel and Mark Rivera is pacing his hotel suite bursting with ideas. The task of keeping up with Rivera's thoughts is daunting to say the least. The words explode from him like a Fourth of July fireworks show on steroids. From stories of working with John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Peter Gabriel and most notably -- becoming Billy Joel's ever-conspicuous sax player/backup vocalist, Rivera is on a big, white, puffy cloud every time he conjures up those legendary memories. Who wouldn't be? The challenge for Rivera on this balmy late-February afternoon is to fit those anecdotes and personal thoughts on the future and state of the world into a half-hour conversation which must conclude before he boards a bus to Birmingham for his role in that evening's Billy Joel show. Indeed Rivera will be back in his Atlanta hotel room in about 48 hours, but there will be no time for follow-up questions. He will be handling
