Former Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs: Trump Could Easily Make Mexico Pay for the Wall

Via Billy

 

And he says those studies showing a reversal of Mexican immigration are bogus.

"If [Trump] really wants Mexico to pay for the wall, he has many ways of getting many Mexicans to pay for the wall," Castañeda said in an auditorium sitting directly across the street from Trump's newly opened Pennsylvania Avenue hotel.

He could "increase the fee for visas, which is a decision made by the State Department, not by Congress," Castañeda continued. He could "increase the toll on the bridges [between the two countries] . . . again, not done by Congress."

Castañeda also suggested that Trump could tax remittances from the U.S. to Mexico: "There are ways of doing it," he said, "transaction fees, commissions, special fees etc." He labeled a recent resolution in the Mexican Senate to bar the use of Mexican federal funds for construction of the wall as "silly."

Mike Ditka to Colin Kaepernick: 'Get the hell out' if you don't like America

 Via Billy

Hall of Fame coach Mike Ditka has leveled blistering criticism at Colin Kaepernick’s decision to kneel during the national anthem, saying he has “no respect” for the San Francisco 49ers quarterback whose protest has sparked a national discussion over racial injustice, inspired dozens of NFL players to follow suit and landed him on the cover of Time magazine.

“I think it’s a problem, anybody who disrespects this country and the flag,” the longtime NFL coach said in a radio interview on KRLD-FM in Dallas. “If they don’t like the country, if they don’t like our flag, get the hell out. That’s what I think.

“I have no respect for Colin Kaepernick. He probably has no respect for me, that’s his choice. My choice is that I like this country, I respect our flag, and I don’t see all the atrocities going on in this country that people say are going on.

“I see opportunities if people want to look for opportunity. Now if they don’t want to look for them, then you can find problems with anything, but this is the land of opportunity because you can be anything you want to be if you work. Now if you don’t work, that’s a different problem.”

Sheriff on Obama: “I Don’t Care Where He’s From, We Are Looking At A Forged Document, Period!"

I had nothing to do with Trump on the birth certificate,” Arpaio said. “We did it on our own, because of you guys.”

“I know all the politicians say, ‘Sheriff, don’t talk about it,’ ”Arpaio said.  “But how can I back down when we started it? I’m not going to just forget it.”

Arpaio was not the only one to speak to the group of patriots.  His chief investigator Mike Zullo also made several comments.

Zullo claimed that Trumps comments were a “punch in the gut, because it was unexpected.”

“It’s not going to deter us,” Zullo said. “It’s not going to stop us. I am closer than ever.”

Colorado voter fraud revealed: Slew of ballots cast by the dead spark investigation

Via Billy

 

A CBS affiliate’s evidence of voter fraud in Colorado has sparked an immediate investigation by Secretary of State Wayne Williams.

Election sleuthing by Brian Maass of KCNC-TV in Denver exposed multiple instances in recent years where dead Coloradans were still voting. A dead World War II veteran named John Grosso voted in a 2006 primary election, and a woman named Sara Sosa who died in 2009 cast ballots in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Mrs. Sosa’s husband Miguel died in 2008, but a vote was cast in his name one year later.

“This is the kind of thing you hear rumored, joked about in Chicago, that kind of thing,” Mr. Maasssaid during a Thursday evening broadcast. “Tonight, that changes. We did find voter fraud in Colorado that essentially waters down your vote.”

LA Police Union: Police Commission Wants Cops To Run From Armed Suspects

Via Billy

The Los Angeles Police Commission wants LAPD police officers to run away when a suspect confronts them with a weapon, warns the Los Angeles Police Protective League, the labor union of the city’s police officers.

The organization posted a blog post critical of the commission’s recent decision to find that fault lay upon an LAPD officer who used deadly force when a female suspect, Norma Guzman, came at him and his partner swinging a large knife.

“The key facts in this case are not in dispute. A female suspect, armed with an 8 to 9-inch knife, charged at officers, repeatedly ignored commands to stop, and was recorded yelling ‘shoot me’ as she swung her knife from side to side,” the LAPPL Board of Directors wrote in a blog post.

Pier Weekly 09/23/16 & What A Week It Was!

 

Southern boy with meticulous manners.  Said Akai should have a shorter board.

 

We've had a few double rainbows lately.

 

Large Tarpon.  Took 2 hours to get in and walk it along the pier.  Went under at the end, but fortunately was in shallow water so could be retrieved. Was going to be a C&R, but took so long to get the hook out that it died.

 

Homecoming tonight. :)

 

Grace had my camera between her legs and was quite warm as received.  When mentioned, she stated, I'm hot! :)

 

Akai, in one summer! :) A Natural.

 

One of our newly met friends from West Virginia sobering up and needing a little help. :)

 

Two beautiful couples.  When I found out they were from West Virginia, I asked where, and they live about ten minutes from Lewisburg where I went to Greenbrier Military School!

 

I give up, I only had two beers.........:)

 

Such a nice person.
