Is this truely smart of the Mexicans?
So they have this boycott ongoing against Trump products.
Hmm, can they really afford a boycott payback, if we boycott Mex-restaurants? Don't think so.
Earlier this year, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce responded to Trump's comments about Mexicans by announcing a boycott of all Trump brands and properties. Palomarez said that boycott will remain in place for the foreseeable future, even after Trump floated the Trump National Doral resorts as the site of the group's convention next year in Florida.Comment -

This intelligent man below see's the light.
________________________________________ ________________________________________ ___________
Billionaire real-estate mogul and now presidential candidate Donald J. Trump is leading the Republican primary polls this summer. Yet, even as his numbers rise the majority of narratives I read online continue to reflect the idea that Trump “has no chance” and that he “shouldn’t be taken seriously.” But while much of the media seems to have written off Trump’s chances, I certainly have not.
After living through the (Republican) presidency of George W. Bush and (Democratic) presidency of Barack Obama, one glaring similarity presented itself above all others—my interests were no longer represented by either party. In the American political system, money buys influence and power. Unfortunately, I don’t make enough to have either. Ironically, it is Trump’s extensive wealth that gives him the unique opportunity to change this broken system.
Trump is the only candidate (on both sides) who won’t be vying for political funds in exchange for political favors. He has made it clear that he won’t be bought. When asked about campaign donations during the first major republican primary debate on Aug. 6, for example, Trump’s reply was refreshingly honest. “I give to everybody,” he said. “When they call, I give. And you know what? When I need something from them, two years later, three years later, I call them. They are there for me. And that’s a broken system.” A broken system indeed.
I’m not a member of the 1%, nor am I anti-immigrant or anti-women. Nevertheless, Trump has me convinced.
As a millennial, an immigrant, and a New Yorker, I don’t seem to possess the characteristics of the Trump supporter stereotype. I’m not a member of the 1%, nor am I anti-immigrant or anti-women. Nevertheless, Trump has convinced me that he will provide the necessary leadership to help our country succeed. Of all the candidates arguably none have accomplished more or led more industries than Trump.
I am part of a generation that is facing stagnant salaries, rising debt and government programs that may not sustain us. I want a president with the business acumen to rectify these issues.
As an immigrant who legally immigrated to this country, I strongly support Trump’s stance against illegal immigration. Illegal immigration has an unfair effect on legal immigration and the pursuit of the America dream. I don’t believe we can ever expand legal immigration if our resources continue to go to those who have accessed them illegally. Trump understands this and wants to crack down on illegal immigration so that legal immigrants can achieve the American Dream they deserve. Indeed, the idea that someone can cheat the system and be rewarded for it, while law-abiding individuals have their access stripped away, is something no American should support.
As a New Yorker, I struggle to find anyone on either side of the political aisle that truly understands me. New York has made me socially liberal in many ways—I abhor discriminatory policies based on sex, race, gender, etc. and strongly believe in the separation of church and state. Policies that are anti-gay marriage or anti-choice don’t represent my views. At the same time, after witnessing a despicable amount of corruption and waste in New York’s governance, I have become fiscally conservative. Thus, I am left looking for a candidate that is both socially liberal and fiscally conservative.
Trump’s more balanced positions are an opportunity for some much-needed compromise in a hopelessly polarized Washington.
Trump is this candidate. Like me, he is fiscally conservative. And, like me, he is more influenced by his New York upbringing than by any religious motives. He has liberal-leaning tendencies (has often said gay employees should not be discriminated against) and even Republican Party leaders have criticized his lack of “conservatism.” And while Trump has also been criticized for “non-liberal” stances on abortion and gay marriage, remember that in 2008 Obama himself said he was against gay marriage. All candidates are forced to make statements by their political environment—statements they may or may not personally believe. I see Trump as the conservative candidate least likely to make any significant changes when it comes to social issues.
Ultimately, Trump’s more balanced positions are an opportunity for some much-needed compromise in a hopelessly polarized Washington. His urban upbringing gives me hope that he might actually fight for compromise on common sense issues, such as stricter gun control (Trump isn’t part of the gun culture although he has called himself a supporter of the Second Amendment), women’s health issues (Trump supports funding Planned Parenthood), increasing opportunities for the poor by taking back jobs from overseas and reforming the H-1B **** program.
These might be lofty expectations for a man with no political experience. Then again, political experience hasn’t worked out so well in Washington lately. With Congress’s approval ratings at sustained lows and polarization at abysmal highs, we need a drastic change in Washington. I believe Donald J. Trump as president could be that change.Comment -

Ventura is very intelligent
He wrote this book.
Also, a little added tidbit about sniper, Kyle.
Chris Kyle, author of the runaway best-seller American Sniper, was a military hero who killed 160 people during his four tours of duty in Iraq and is now the subject of an Oscar-nominated blockbuster. He was also a fabulist. Before his tragic murder in 2013, Kyle told a number of extremely dubious stories. In one tale, Kyle claimed he killed two carjackers at a gas station southwest of Dallas, and that his driver’s license directed local police officers who questioned him to contact the Department of Defense. Kyle also claimed he traveled to post-Katrina New Orleans with a sniper friend, set up his gun atop the Superdome, and picked off dozens of armed looters.
The 160 kills are confirmed by the Pentagon. But there are absolutely no records of, or witnesses to, the latter stories. They are, perhaps intentionally, unverifiable. But it wasn’t these fantastical tales of vigilante justice that got Kyle into legal trouble. It was another, much less exciting story—one that wasn’t just unverifiable, but verifiably false. That tale, conveyed in a mere three pages of American Sniper, has put Kyle’s widow on the hook for $1.845 million in damages. And it may soon make Kyle’s publishers wish they approached the veteran’s claims with great deal of skepticism.
Kyle’s legal difficulties emerged from a subchapter of American Sniper titled “Punching Out Scruff Face.” In it, Kyle describes beating up a former Navy SEAL (“Scruff Face”) after the SEAL claims American soldiers deserved to die in Iraq. Early drafts of the book identified the SEAL as Jesse Ventura, former governor of Minnesota and famed professional wrestler, but Kyle’s publishers removed the name for fear of a lawsuit. Nonetheless, in a radio interview following the book’s release, Kyle admitted that “Scruff Face” was Ventura, and he repeated the claim soon after on The O’Reilly Factor. American Sniper shot to the top of Amazon’s best-seller list, becoming a smash hit for its publisher, HarperCollins, selling more than 1.5 million copies by July of 2014.Comment -

Also, another key to filing this lawsuit; Ventura just may throw his hat into the political ring, somewhere, or somewhere?
________________________________________ ________________________________________ ______________
There was, however, a problem: The Ventura story wasn’t true, and Ventura meant to prove it. So he took Kyle to trial, suing him—and, after he died, his estate—for defamation and unjust enrichment. In the United States, defamation cases are extremely difficult to win, thanks to the First Amendment. When allegedly defamatory statements pertain to a public figure, the plaintiff mustn’t just prove those statements were false. He has to prove the defendant made those statements with “actual malice”—that is, knowledge that they were false or with “reckless disregard” for their falsity. Very few defamation plaintiffs can make it over the high bar of actual malice.
Ventura made it. On July 29, 2014, a federal jury returned from six days of deliberations to award Ventura $1.845 million in damages—specifically, $500,000 for defamation and about $1.345 million for unjust enrichment. (In other words, Kyle unjustly profited from defaming Ventura, and so his estate must give Ventura some of that money.) Kyle’s widow, Taya Kyle, promptly filed for “judgment as a matter of law,” asking the trial judge to reverse’s the jury’s verdict because the jury clearly got it wrong. Failing that, she asked for an entirely new trial. The judge denied both requests, defending the jury’s verdict as legally and factually justifiable. Kyle’s widow is currently appealing the decision; her odds of winning appear quite low.
All of this presents a very big problem for HarperCollins.
For the Kyle family, then, the legal tribulations surrounding American Sniper are probably wrapping up, and Taya Kyle will likely pay some damages but walk away from the affair with many millions of dollars left to her name. (HarperCollins’ libel insurance, in fact, will cover her defamation damages.) But for Kyle’s publisher, HarperCollins, the nightmare is just beginning. Several months after the verdict against the Kyle estate, Ventura brought another lawsuit for unjust enrichment, this time against HarperCollins. The lawsuit explains that while Kyle is the one who defamed Ventura, HarperCollins played up those defamatory statements in order to boost its sales—and with reckless disregard to the truth of Kyle’s claims.
This suit is the second of Ventura’s one-two punch, and from here, it looks like a knockout. During the first trial, Ventura’s attorneys uncovered records of HarperCollins’ negligence in fact-checking Kyle’s book, as well as evidence that HarperCollins specifically touted the Ventura story to drum up publicity. Kyle’s ghostwriters spoke with only one person who claimed to have witnessed the fight, a friend of Kyle’s who told a different version of the story that lacked Ventura’s offensive remarks. No one from HarperCollins contacted Ventura or his representatives to verify the story. And though Kyle claimed Ventura appeared at a SEAL graduation afterward with a black eye—where “everybody was laughing” and asking “Who beat the shit out of him?”—HarperCollins never asked a member of the graduating class whether they saw Ventura’s injury. (A photograph from the event shows a clear image of Ventura—with no black eye.)
It gets worse for HarperCollins. Despite the tenuous source of the Ventura story, HarperCollins quickly saw it as a publicity gold mine. After Kyle identified “Scruff Face” as Ventura in a radio interview on The Opie & Anthony Show, HarperCollins editor Peter Hubbard wrote in an email that the publicity from the story was “priceless.” HarperCollins publicist Sharon Rosenblum described the Ventura kerfuffle as “hot hot hot,” immediately arranging for Kyle to retell the tale on The O’Reilly Factor. Sales of American Sniper—which, up to that point, were fairly modest—spiked dramatically, apparently in conjunction with interest in the Ventura story. After the O’Reilly appearance, Ventura publicly denied Kyle’s accusations. Yet Rosenblum arranged for Kyle to tell the story again on The Opie & Anthony Show, and HarperCollins printed several new editions of the book that still featured the “Scruff Face” section. (It was finally removed after Ventura won his suit.)

I don't think anybody who can claim to have "picked off looters " can claim to be a hero. More...
All of this presents a very big problem for HarperCollins. Ventura’s lawyers believe they can prove that American Sniper’s massive success was spurred, at least initially, by interest in the Ventura story. Under normal circumstances, HarperCollins might fight back by arguing that the story is true. But therein lies the brilliance of Ventura’s maneuvering: A jury has already determined that the Ventura tale is false and defamatory, meaning HarperCollins is legally barred from rearguing its veracity. As a result, HarperCollins must instead argue that it did not act with “reckless disregard” for the truth of Kyle’s claims, and that no part of the company’s profits arose from interest in the Ventura story. Those questions, of course, must be left for a jury to decide. But it does not look very good for HarperCollins.
Don’t pity the publishers too much, though. In the midst of this legal drama, the movie adaption of American Sniper has shattered box office records and brought in well over $100 million. HarperCollins is sure to make a killing off royalties from the film, and off sales from the new movie tie-in edition of American Sniper. Even if Ventura wins millions in his second lawsuit, the publishing house may well walk away from this debacle with a healthy profit remaining, just as Kyle’s widow will do. The moral of Kyle’s story, then: It pays to lie.Comment -
Abe, buddy ol' pal. What is Trump? He's a billionaire right? He's part of a corporation, right? Where does he get
his stuff manufactured? China and Mexico, right? Who does he hire? Mexicans? Illegal Mexicans?
He gets on stage and busts on everything he is and done. Now, I don't know where you came from, but around these
here parts, he sounds like a snake oil salesman. When you buy that oil, drink it or rub it on and find out later it doesn't work, it's too late. He already has your vote.
The boy IS the problem, he can't be the solution.Comment -
Trump at his best again
I don't see where a political opponent can beat this man.
Listen up.
This man cannot lose. Why? He's the most intelligent debater and talker--all in one; he has the energy level of an African Cape Buffalo, and the same fighting spirit to match; he's on top of almost every question you throw at him, and without monologues; he's courageous and bold, just what America needs.
You watch the video above and listen intently. He commands the room, TV, and Radio.
The only way Trump loses this election is; someone shoots him[Kelly?]
, get's seriouy ill; or is cheated within our political process. Meaning; spreading untruths to the less-educated citizens of America. They will drink the poisoned koolaid if it's sweetened with the thing they want to hear. That would be [now percentage wise, folks, so don't think racism]; the Hispanic race; the Black race, and I suppose the Mexican race, too. Those three races could make or break this election.
Trump say's he'll win the Hispanic vote. I wouldn't bet against this man.
Trump is made of the same fiber as our great generals possessed. At the very top of all those strengths; supreme leadership counts most. He has that in spades.
* And for some who don't look very deep into an opinion; he is a selfmade billionaire. No small thing there, potential voters.
**Now, for those doubters; you must listen to Trump above and then tell me you cannot vote for this man. And then answer; why not?
