Trump: 'Hillary Moves Slow On Everything & We Will Have Softening On Immigration'

To fund construction of a new U.S. border wall, Donald Trump and senior advisers are considering various ideas, including the use of assets seized from drug cartels and others in the illicit drug trade. As the debate over who will pay for the wall dominates the discussion on cable news, sources involved in the pre-planning of the GOP nominee’s Mexico trip told LifeZette the Trump camp is looking for innovative ways to pay for the construction of the border wall that both countries can support. Sensitivities in Mexico regarding Trump’s visit, and specifically paying for the border wall, are running high. “For decades, the illicit drug and arms trade has endangered and destroyed the lives of countless Mexicans and Americans” A senior Trump policy advisor stressed the proposal was just one of several funding options being discussed and said the idea was not raised during Trump’s meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto. Advocates of the “make the cartels pay” plan believe it has

Since 2009, the Republican Party has relied on the anti-establishment grassroots movement appealing to fiscal conservatism – the Tea Party – to achieve victory in Congressional elections. The establishment Republicans have tapped into that energy; then they’ve frustrated Tea Partiers by cutting deals with Democrats on everything from government funding to the Iran deal.
But according to our ThoughtLeaders – people like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell – only the soaring genius of the establishment has allowed Republicans to achieve victory.

Donald Trump talked about illegal immigration following his joint press conference with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto Wednesday afternoon.
"We are going to triple the number of ICE deportation officers. I am going to create a new special deportation task force focused on identifying and quickly removing the most dangerous criminal illegal immigrants in America who have evaded justice just like Hillary Clinton has evaded justice. Okay? Maybe they'll be able to deport her," Trump said Wednesday night in Phoenix.

The Colin Kaepernick story keeps getting more absurd. Check out the socks he wore to practice:

Nope, your eyes do not deceive you. Those are in fact cop-pig socks, but — trust him — he’s not condemning all police officers. On Instagram he noted that he has friends and relatives in blue. Sure, if I saw a football player depicting, say, soldiers as bloodthirsty killers, I’d totally interpret that as honoring good soldiers and rejecting only the “rogue” elements.
But I must confess, at this point I’ve come full-circle. I used to oppose Kaepernick’s actions (while agreeing that the NFL shouldn’t discipline him), now I’m cheering him on. You do you, Colin. Here’s why:
First, he’s completely exposing the utter hypocrisy of the corporate sports industry. I seem to recall ESPN firing Curt Schilling not long ago for taking some rather conventional positions regarding the problem of Islamic extremism (yes, a minority of extremists can create big problems) and for sharing an “offensive” meme taking on the idea that men should be allowed in women’s restrooms. And it feels like it was only three weeks ago that the NFL wasn’t permitting the Dallas Cowboys to wear helmet decals supporting Dallas police after one of the worst police massacres in American history.
And now? Everyone is rushing to assure America that Kaepernick won’t be punished, and there are ESPN analysts falling all over themselves to praise him. I was on the radio with an ESPN writer just today who made the point that protest should make us feel uncomfortable. Did you hear that Christian pro athletes? Your views on social change are totally welcome now. No reprisals for you!
Second, he’s discrediting a dangerous cause. One of the challenges of dealing with Black Lives Matter is that the media has done a very good job concealing an extraordinarily radical and destructive movement behind a veneer of manufactured moderation and respectability. There is a lot that’s hateful, vicious, and incoherent about BLM, and now that Kaepernick is bringing his disrespect and insults to the national stage, it’s harder to ignore the radicalism. He’s showing a face of the movement — disrespecting the flag, mocking cops — that’s mainstream within, say, academe but decidedly outside the bounds of most Americans’ views of appropriate discourse. Manners still matter to millions, and this form of disrespect is appropriately resented.
I love free speech, and I hate the corporate culture that is increasingly stifling individual expression in favor of advancing approved boardroom messages. Kaepernick is in fact demonstrating one of the great virtues of the marketplace of ideas — sometimes bad movements refute themselves.

The British public want to ban Muslim women from wearing the Islamic veil or burqa by an overwhelming margin of more than two-to-one, a poll has found. Research by YouGov found a huge proportion of the public had no qualms about telling women what to wear, with 57 per cent in favour of a ban and just 25 per cent against.
