In an interview on Australian television, famed entertainer Barbra Streisand, a life long Democrat and supporter of Hillary Clinton, said that she will move down under if the Republican wins the presidency in November.
“I’m either coming to your country, if you’ll let me in, or Canada,” Streisand said.

I thought I was the only one seriously considering a move to Canada if Donald Trump wins the White House. Apparently, I’m not the only one.
Google says the search “How can I move to Canada?” spiked 350 percent as results came in late Tuesday showing wins for GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump.
“Searches for ‘how can I move to Canada’ on Google have spiked +350% in the past hours,” tweeted Simon Rogers, the search engine’s data editor, Tuesday evening alongside the hashtag #SuperTuesday.
“Searches for ‘Move to Canada’ are higher than at any time in Google history,” the company later added.
“I never breathed a breath of air on this planet when I was not a U.S. citizen,” Canadian born Republican presidential candidate, Ted Cruz said at a CNN town hall. “It was the act of being born that made me a U.S. citizen.”
He added: “There will be some who try to work political mischief on it, but as a legal matter, this is clear and straightforward.”
But apparently the matter is not settled. It is not “clear and straightforward.” Numerous law professors and constitutionalists have raised questions about Cruz’s eligibility to be president of the United States. Some even said flat-out that the man born in Canada cannot run for the highest office in the land. One lawyer in Chicago is bringing his questions and concerns to the court.
Lawrence Joyce, a lawyer and Republican, is taking Ted Cruz to court. Yes, he is a Republican supporting Ben Carson, but Mr. Joyce wants no questions hanging over Cruz’s head if he becomes the Republican nominee for President. And apparently, Joyce is well aware that Democrats like Alan Grayson already have their lawsuits lined up… waiting…!
“What I fear is that Ted Cruz becomes the nominee, come September, Congressman Alan Grayson of Florida will go forward with his threats and probably several other Democrats will file suit to prevent Ted Cruz from being on the ballot,” Joyce, a pharmacist and attorney from Poplar Grove, Ill, told USA TODAY.
Joyce’s suit is just one of a few. A federal lawsuit was filed in Texas last month asking for a determination of Cruz’s eligibility to run. And voters in New York, who raised similar concerns about Cruz’s citizenship, on Thursday filed a challenge with the state Board of Election challenging the senator’s eligibility to be on the ballot.
“I don’t know,” Donald Trump answered, when the question – do you have any doubts that Ted Cruz is a natural born American citizen – was posed by Fox News’ Chris Wallace.
“I really don’t know. It depends. Does “Natural Born” mean born to the land? Meaning born on the land? In that case, he’s not. But nobody knows what it means. And it hasn’t been adjudicated. And it hasn’t gone to the Supreme Court.”
Trump concluded by saying that if Ted Cruz is the Republican nominee, he will have a “lawsuit over his head” from the Democratic contender.
Alan Grayson already has a lawsuit lined up and waiting just in case Cruz is the Republican nominee.

Seems to me there’s too much controversy surrounding Ted Cruz’s birth to take his presidential ambitio1n seriously.
Although some may say Cruz, who was born in Canada, is a Natural Born U.S citizen base on a Harvard Law study, a more recent and in depth study from Boston University suggests otherwise.

Yesterday, Donald Trump stated a fact for a change, that Ted Cruz is a Canadian by way of birth who recently renounced his Canadian citizenship when he decided to run for president here in America. And today, Trump’s spokesperson continued the Cruz is a Canadian talk, although she is not fully closing the door on the slight chance that Cruz could legally run for President of the United States.
Donald Trump’s national campaign spokeswoman on Wednesday hinted that the fact that Ted Cruz was born in Canada could hurt his presidential run, despite having previously defended Cruz on the issue.
“There’s a ton of voters who are a little uncomfortable voting for someone outside of the country,” Katrina Pierson told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “And the fact that Sen. Cruz has sort of left this issue off the table for so long has created some of the controversy.”

As seen on America The Not So Beautiful

It never ceases to amaze me what cowards Americans are. They are afraid of everything. Afraid of terrorism, afraid of air travel, afraid of countries thousands of miles away, afraid of Cuba, afraid of rare diseases. Yet somehow they think they are the most courageous people in the world. The rest of the world doesn’t see it that way, which would be the majority of the earth. And for good reason because it’s not true.
Three people have contracted Ebola, only two of them while in the United States. Both of those people are nurses that had direct contact with the man who died. That’s it. Yet, there are screams for travel bans and paranoia over how easy it is to contract the disease. None of it is based in reality, just fear and of course crass politics. And hey right wingers..don’t tell me about Obama’s “late” response to Ebola when your hero Reagan let over 40,000 Americans die of AIDS before he would even mention the word!
What is really killing Americans at an alarming rate is obesity, alcohol and cigarettes. This is reality, but all we hear about is how frightened Americans are over Ebola. About as frightened as they are over ISIS. Neither poses any imminent threat at all. AT ALL. But they want travel bans as well as boots on the ground in Iraq so more strangers can die in the name of “freedom.”
It’s not freedom at all but fear. They are afraid so they want others to protect them from their uniquely American fears. Notice how most other nations including Canada have no such fears. They don’t worry about ISIS or Ebola the way Americans do. Maybe the real fear should be with Texas and its health care system. A place where they send you home from the hospital with 103 fever and a free cowboy hat and an autographed Rick Perry head shot.
It’s stunning how Americans have the inability to look around them and see how other countries handle things. It’s like they live in a vacuum. The first reaction to any crisis is fear. Not a common sense solution or a dialogue but outright hysteria. There is no weighing options because that would take brains and courage. Two things that too many Americans are lacking. Stop flights! Don’t allow them damn foreigners in our schools, to learn or teach! Doesn’t matter if you aren’t from anywhere near West Africa or Africa for that matter…you look foreign so you must have the Ebola! You must be feared!
It’s fucking pathetic. It continues generation to generation because kids see their parents being afraid so they become afraid. Speaking of the children, an 11 year old shot and killed an albino deer and now feels like a “rock star” according to his wonderful father. Albino deer are so rare that I didn’t even know they existed. They are also beautiful. They don’t inspire fear at all. They inspire hope about nature and what evolution has given us. Yes evolution. Because if they were created by the lord why would most Christians not be up in arms about the murder of one..right?
The murder took place in Howell, Michigan. Mostly Michigan is fine, but not Howell. It is a right wing shit fest. Home to the KKK. No wonder this kid is a hero there. So are guys in sheets. Now I don’t want to be too hard on the kid. I do however despise his parents. Instead of teaching their son about empathy and concern for weaker creatures, they have taught him to kill and to love it. To bask in it. Maybe a school or a politician can be his next target? For this there should be a nice place in hell prepared for them. The same can be said for the right wing propaganda ragUSA Today that actually glorified the killing.
This is an all American story for sure. If the obstacle is tough and powerful like ISIS or Ebola, we cower. If it’s an easy target like a poor Albino deer we shoot to kill and show off. What courage! I know what…let’s sing “God Bless America” one more time! Notice how they don’t have the need to sing about blessing Canada in the middle of every hockey game? But Americans wouldn’t notice that, they never notice anything outside their own little universe. Other nations advance while we are stuck in the dark ages.
How to deal with terrorism or a disease? Fear and discrimination. How to raise a child? Violence and power is good, honorable. Dress them up in camo (what war are they fighting?) and send them out to kill nature, destroy the environment, hey it’s OK, you are an American son!
Fear the unknown and the strong, bully the weak and the defenseless. Makes my skin crawl.

Republicans. They are past the stage of no return.
Since President Obama took office, Republicans have been on a rampage trying to prove the impossible, that President Obama was born somewhere else, any where else than right here in the good ole US of A!. They even created a name for themselves – The Birthers! And although the President has provided both his short form and long form United States birth certificate – an apparent requirement now that this particular president is in office – these Republicans are still convinced that the birth of the President in the state of Hawaii did not happen.
So on goes the clown car.
One of the brains in the party has taken it upon himself to start a petition to deport the president, my guess is they want to deport him back to the land of his birth – Hawaii!
The 20 page petition was started by Larry Klayman, founder of the conservative group Judicial Watch, the same man who now heads Freedom Watch. Klayman submitted his deportation petition to the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement because, they obviously have nothing better to do with their time than to cater to the willfully ignorant.
Without any proof whatsoever, the Republican brain Klayman argues in his petition that the Birth Certificate the president produced from Hawaii was fake. He also contends that the President’s Social Security number is also fake. Again, no proof necessary, just a petition based on nothing but his words, his hate and his emotional state of mind, (and you thought Republicans had no emotions).
In his petition, Klayman wrote:
Barack Hussein Obama has relied upon a birth certificate from the State of Hawaii which is clearly a forgery — that is, not a valid birth certificate — and indeed also a rather sloppy forgery with easily-detected, unmistakable errors and defects.
It is a fair inference that Barack Hussein Obama would not have relied throughout his life upon a forged birth certificate if a genuine birth certificate showing a live birth in U.S. territory existed. No one would present a birth certificate that document analysis exposes to be a forgery if they could just as easily present their actual, genuine birth certificate. As a result, claims that an undisclosed birth certificate exists and a more recent document must face serious credibility questions as to why a forgery was being used — a crime and document fraud under the Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA) — unnecessarily…
The irony is, these Birther folks calling for the President’s deportation, are the same ones who will happily cast their vote for Ted Cruz. Cruz, a potential Republican presidential candidate for the 2016 election, was actually born in Calgary Canada. That is another country, and is listed on his birth certificate as his place of birth. But Republicans consider Cruz okay because, he’s a Republican and although he is of minority descent, he looks the part. His color is passable.
Yep! These Republicans have passed the point of no return indeed!
This is a six layered pizza “cake” developed by Canadian pizza chain Boston Pizza. The pizza cake is the present leader in an online poll by the chain, to determine what non pizza food they should turn into pizza.
Other creations by Boston Pizza include chipotle chicken and bacon pizza taco and “Pizzaburger” sliders.
This “cake” may be bringing a heart attack to a store near you…soon!
What could be controversial about the city of Toronto congratulating Canada’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes?
Ask Rob Ford. The Toronto mayor on Wednesday cast the sole ‘no’ vote on a City Council motion to offer the athletes kudos. Minutes earlier, he also was the only council member to vote against a proposal to name a Toronto street after the late Nelson Mandela.
Ford asked for a re-vote on both motions a half-hour later but was denied.
‘We all make errors,’ said Ford, who claimed he was stretching a sore back and voted quickly. ‘I guess I pushed the wrong button. Of course I support Nelson Mandela.’
The mayor also said he supports Olympic athletes.
Ford is seeking re-election this year despite a record of erratic behavior. After he acknowledged last year that he had smoked crack, the City Council voted to strip him of most of his mayoral powers.
Ford is known for often casting the lone dissenting vote, but his votes on Wednesday drew gasps in the council chamber. City councilor Adam Vaughn said Ford knew exactly what he was doing.
