It’s a week-long festival in Mexico to celebrate Easter and part of that festival is the ‘Burning of Judas,’ where effigies of the man who betrayed Jesus are burned in the street. But this year, residents in Mexico are using effigies in the image and likeness of Republican front-runner, Donald Trump to represent Judas!
And rightly so.
According to a new CNN poll, almost 75 percent of registered American women voters oppose Donald Trump. The other 25 percent are obviously Republican women who see nothing wrong with a little or a lot of sexism in their presidential candidate.
The poll released Thursday, taken before the spat with rival Ted Cruz over his wife, found that 73 percent of registered female voters in the United States had an unfavorable view of Trump. That’s in line with a Reuters poll from last week that found more than half of American women hold a “very unfavorable” view of the billionaire.
“That gives him a huge number of voters he has to make up from somewhere,” said American University political science professor Karen O’Connor. “And I don’t know where they will come from.”
Opposition to Trump among women also extends to the GOP. A recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found that 47 percent of Republican women could not see themselves supporting Trump, a number significantly higher than for any other GOP candidate.
“It further highlights the calamity that a Donald Trump nomination would be,” said Doug Heye, a former Republican National Committee aide who opposes Trump.
Based on the video, we didn’t get to see what happened before the infamous Katt Williams punch. But the kid is seen dangerously close to the reach of William’s fist. Then it happened and all hell broke loose!

And it was all captured on video.
Little Allison from Texas, who learned to swim when she was 2 years old, realized something was wrong when her mother stopped moving in the deep section of the pool. That is when the little 5 year old hero dove into the pool and miraculously pulled her mother to the shallow section. She then got out of the pool and ran off to get help.
Her mother, Anderwald, who suffered a seizure in the pool, was taken to a hospital in Corpus Christi, 10 miles southwest of her home in Portland. At first, doctors weren’t sure that she’d make it and even worried she might have neurological damage.
When she woke up Saturday, Anderwald recalled, “I did not know where I was. They did not tell me (what happened) for a while,” according to the Corpus Christi Caller-Times.
As it turns out, she was saved just in the nick of time.

While a map of Europe burns, Trump is heard on the video saying;
“Brussels was one of the great cities, the most beautiful cities in the world 20 years ago. It was amazing, actually, and safe. And now it’s a horror show.”
I will not show the video here, but if you really want to see it, the YouTube video is here.
The description on the video said he was “kinda forced” into doing this dance Wednesday during a state dinner held in his honor in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It kinda shows.

Have you heard? Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are effectively tied among Democratic voters, according to the results of a Bloomberg Politics poll released Thursday.
Of the 311 people who indicated that they have voted or will vote in their state’s Democratic primary or caucus, 49 percent said they support Sanders, while 48 percent indicated that they prefer Clinton and the remaining 3 percent said they are not sure.
In terms of the candidates’ individual qualities and positions, Clinton generally outdrew Sanders on issues related to foreign policy, Congress, effectiveness and temperament, while majorities gave the Vermont senator higher marks for fighting hard for the middle class, honesty and trustworthiness and reining in Wall Street institutions.
That’s how you do it Jeb! Show that sum-um-a-beiaich how you can take all 5 people who voted for you in the primaries and dump them all on Ted Cruz.
“Ted is a consistent, principled conservative who has demonstrated the ability to appeal to voters and win primary contests,” Bush said in a statement. “Washington is broken, and the only way Republicans can hope to win back the White House and put our nation on a better path is to support a nominee who can articulate how conservative policies will help people rise up and reach their full potential.”
Bush, who dropped out of the Republican presidential race in February, called on the GOP to “overcome the divisiveness and vulgarity Donald Trump has brought into the political arena.”
“To win, Republicans need to make this election about proposing solutions to the many challenges we face, and I believe that we should vote for Ted as he will do just that,” he said.
All jokes aside, Williams picked a fight with someone closer to his height and still, still got his ass whopped!

New York Police Commissioner, Bill Bratton, is not a fan of fools. That will explain why Bratton took offense to a statement by Republican presidential candidate, Ted Cruz, who, in response to the deadly terrorist attacks in Brussels, called for increased police surveillance in Muslim neighborhoods as the answer to stop ISIS and Islamic extremist terrorists.
“He doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about, to be quite frank with you. I took great offense to that statement,” Bratton said. “I have almost 1,000 Muslim officers in the NYPD. Ironically when he’s running around here we probably have a few Muslim officers guiding him.”
Cruz was confronted by the comment when he appeared on “CBS This Morning” later, and replied:
“It’s not surprising that the Democratic political henchmen of Mayor de Blasio are coming after me, and that is on the instructions of Mayor de Blasio,” Cruz said.
Cruz continued, pointing to an earlier program put in place by former mayor Michael Bloomberg, which Cruz said “worked proactively with the Muslim community to stop radicalization.”
“Mayor de Blasio decided to come in, and decided that political correctness mattered more than keeping before safe… he disbanded the program,” Cruz said.
The Muslim surveillance program, or “Demographics Unit,” or “Zone Assessment Unit” in New York City was disbanded in 2014 . Law enforcement officials have admitted the program, which began in 2003 in wake of the 9/11 attacks, never generated any viable leads, CBS New York reported in an earlier story.
Donald Trump used his American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) speech yesterday to further some of his campaign noise, noise that included his usual knock against President Obama. And while some of his noise fell on a few welcoming ears in the audience, the organizers and president of AIPAC later issued a statement, rebuking Trump and his comments against President Obama, calling those comments divisive.
“Last evening, something occurred which has the potential to drive us apart, to divide us,” AIPAC President Lillian Pinkus said during the final day of the organization’s annual policy conference in Washington. “We say, unequivocally, that we do not countenance ad hominem attacks, and we take great offense against those that are levied against the president of the United States of America from our stage.
“While we may have policy differences, we deeply respect the office of the United States and our president, Barack Obama,” she added to resounding applause. “There are people in our AIPAC family who were deeply hurt last night, and for that we are deeply sorry.
“We are disappointed that so many people applauded a sentiment that we neither agree with or condone.”
The comments were a clear shot at Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, who appeared on the same stage barely more than 12 hours before.
He was the mayor of Toronto but you probably wouldn’t have known that if it weren’t for the nightly news portraying the Toronto mayor as a loudmouth, weed and crack smoking conservative who always knew where the next party was. With the world’s attention focused on him and wondering what he will do next, Ford was diagnosed with a tumor in his stomach and in 2014, announced he would not seek re-election to the Mayor’s office in Toronto.
Today, a statement from Ford’s family told the news that Rob Ford had died.
“With heavy hearts and profound sadness, the Ford family announces the passing of their beloved son, brother, husband and father,” his family said in a statement. “A dedicated man of the people, Councillor Ford spent his life serving the citizens of Toronto.”
