Just grazing through the nets today, you would think a tennis player losing a match was enough to send the American media into an inconsolable frenzy. I think they are more worked up over Serena losing then they were about the MULTIPLE COPS murdered in the past month. Likewise, the James Blake story is getting TONS of coverage! Yet the pandemic murders of police? Under the rug.

Watched the moment of silence this morning....made me sick to think he is PRETENDING to care, while at the same time giving. BILLIONS to terrorists. He and the Democrat party are worse than Chamberlain.

Grammy-winning producer Emilio Estefan is not happy with Donald Trump’s anti-Mexican rhetoric — and he’s gathering some friends to take a stand against it, according to Billboard.com. Billboard reports that Estefan, 62, has enlisted dozens of friends — including Shakira, Carlos Santana, Thalia, Pepe Aguilar and his wife, singer Gloria Estefan — record We’re All Mexican, which he describes as a musical “celebration of Hispanics and our accomplishments.” The track will also include reggaeton singer Wisin, Wyclef Jean, radio personality Enrique Santos and famed Spanish-American chef José Andrés, and will be released in late September. “There’s a message being sent...

ISRAELI prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu today claimed the Middle East is “disintegrating” due to Islamist militants and the threat posed by Iran. Arriving in Downing Street for talks with Prime Minister David Cameron, Mr Netanyahu stated his belief that Israel and Britain can work together to “roll back the tide of militant Islam both in the Middle East and in Africa.” Discussions are set to be dominated by the question of how to combat the rise of the Islamic State, or ISIS, in Syria as well as the nuclear deal recently agreed between the UK, its Western allies and Iran....

Two out of three Hispanics oppose the establishment’s campaign to increase the annual inflow of migrants into the United States., according to an Aug. 20 report by Gallup. That’s good news for Donald Trump, who has made pro-American immigration reform the centerpiece of his campaign. It is bad news for Jeb Bush, who claims he can boost the one-in-four Hispanic support for the GOP by inviting more foreign blue-collar and college-graduates to compete for the jobs sought by American Hispanics. Only 34 percent of U.S.-born Hispanics, and 33 percent of foreign-born Hispanics, want to increase legal immigration, said the Gallup...

Falls to pieces in Milwaukee.

Donald Trump said Thursday that when he suggested Carly Fiorina's face would make her unelectable, he wasn't talking about her looks. "I'm not talking about looks. I'm talking about persona," Trump told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day."

Former tennis star James Blake said Thursday that he wasn’t making his takedown by NYPD cops a case of racial profiling. The one-time No. 4 player in the world was slammed to the ground and handcuffed by cops Wednesday at the Grand Hyatt on East 42nd Street in Manhattan after he was wrongly identified as a cellphone thief. “This was a case of excessive force, you’re not making it about racial profiling,” interviewer Robin Roberts said to him on “Good Morning America.”

...many of the presidential candidates weighed in. Hillary Clinton was unsupportive of Davis, saying that she needs to do her duty. Jeb Bush said that there is enough room for Davis to uphold the law and act on her conscience. It would seem that many would agree with them citing a difference between being a baker and an elected official. Others would say this is not a hill to die on.... Doug Wilson perceptively notes that: ....whenever we get to that elusive and ever-receding “hill to die on,” we will discover, upon our arrival there, that it only looked like...

Ben Carson will tour Ferguson, Missouri, on Friday, the city that has been the site of frequent protests since unarmed teenager Michael Brown was killed by police last summer. Carson, the only black candidate in the 2016 presidential election....

Before Tuesday’s taping with Hillary Rodham Clinton, the executive producers of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” said that the former first lady had never danced in her previous appearances with Ms. DeGeneres and that they didn’t expect her to when she taped her latest sit-down. But during a commercial break, Ms. DeGeneres’s resident D.J. got Mrs. Clinton clapping her hands and swaying her hips to Ariana Grande. Pink and Amy Schumer joined Ms. DeGeneres and Mrs. Clinton onstage, and they all hugged and waved to a crowd of thousands overflowing around the Rockefeller Center ice skating rink, where Ms. DeGeneres is...

Those are actually old numbers....

Leading into this year's Labor Day holiday, 52% of U.S. union members approve of President Barack Obama's job performance, down slightly from 56% in the first quarter of 2015 and one percentage point above his personal low among this group. At the same time, the average rating of the president among those who are not union members has been flat at 46%. .....Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted July 1-Aug. 30, 2015, on the Gallup U.S. Daily survey, with a random sample of 25,795 working adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S....

....Obama gave a doom and gloom speech yesterday at the Global Leadership in the Arctic (GLACIER) conference in Alaska to build momentum for the U.N. climate deal in Paris this December. So far less than one third of countries have submitted plans to cut carbon dioxide emissions by the Wall Street Journal’s count. According to Obama, “Climate change is happening faster than we’re acting” and the world is facing a future of more fires, more melting, more warming, more suffering. But there are at least two major problems with his focus on global warming as he’s presented it in Alaska....

A South Florida bus driver is upset after he was suspended from work for several days months after he was viciously attacked by a passenger. According to the victim, his employers told him he should have handled the altercation differently. Sixty-six-year-old Ken Legler was on his routine drive July 15 when a woman stepped onto the bus. Legler said she handed over her bus pass, but he noticed it had been tampered with and then called his dispatcher to inform them regarding the pass. "I've been a bus driver 28 years. This is the way I was trained to do...

...You supported Obama. How do you think he’s done? I think he’s fantastic. He’s my favorite president, hands down, of my lifetime. He’s been awesome this past year. Especially the rapid, one-after-another-after-another-after-another aspect of it. It’s almost like take no prisoners. His he-doesn’t-give-a-shit attitude has just been so cool. Everyone always talks about these lame-duck presidents. I’ve never seen anybody end with this kind of ending. All the people who supported him along the way that questioned this or that and the other? All of their questions are being answered now.

Pretenders lead singer claims sexual assault in the 1970s was her own ‘fault’ because of the way she was dressed Women who walk around drunk and provocatively dressed should expect to be sexually assaulted, Chrissie Hynde, the lead singer of the Pretenders, has suggested. The former chart topper claimed in a Sunday newspaper interview that scantily clad women were likely to “entice a rapist” and that it is their “fault” if they are attacked. She discloses in a new memoir how she was abducted and sexually assaulted by a motorcycle gang in Ohio in the early 1970s – but concludes...

Adele is set to turn down an £80 million pay day to tour her new album, because she doesn’t want to travel with her young son, writes Simon Boyle in the Sunday People. The Someone Like You singer has a string of offers from some of the biggest concert organisers all vying to stage her first comeback gigs next year. But she is yet to agree to any gigs at all in 2016 - and has hinted she isn’t prepared to sign up to travel thousands of miles with a young family.
