Cenk hosting. Two sisters have created YouTube videos with very strong opinions. Video of their outspoken support for Donald Trump in his battle against Megyn Kelly. Jeb Bush’s donors are out talking about how they’re not panicking over his weak placement in the GOP primaries so far. This is a sign that they are definitely panicking. They pointed out that the candidates that aren’t politicians have an upper hand because Americans are tired of pols. Bobby Jindal tweeted out his “original” idea to end birthright citizenship...right after Donald Trump announced this in his immigration plan. Bill O’Reilly spoke glowingly about Donald Trump, claiming that he has stimulated the debate among GOPers. Video of his Talking Points Memo. San Fran police violently subdued a handicapped man with a prosthetic leg after they were called over him waving “sticks” around, aka his crutches. Video of the takedown and arrest. Another comparison video of a few Swedish cops that broke up a fight on the subway in NYC while they were visiting, calmly subduing one of the men that was out of control. Update on the SC police killing of an unarmed White teenager in the parking lot of a Hardees. The cops have refused to release the dashcam video of the shooting after the family has accused them of desecrating the kid’s body. They also accused the cops of placing something under the body. A terrorist entered an abortion clinic in Kansas with a bomb, threatening to blow the place up. This clinic is the same one that Dr. Tiller worked out of before he was murdered. CNN story on the taxing pattern in America. The government’s tax revenue is at an all time high, with corporations contributing just 10% of it when they used to contribute over 32%. Social security has skyrocketed in the same time period since the 1950s.
