Bill Bratton – Americans with Guns More Threatening Than Terrorists – Video

It’s as if the New York City Police Commissioner has had enough. In yet another slam against a Republican presidential candidate, Bill Bratton attacked Trump’s claim that foreigners are the imminent threat to Americans.

After watching a clip of Trump saying, “I don’t think America is a safe place for Americans. We’re allowing thousands of people to come in here. Nobody knows where they’re from,” Bratton disagreed.

“America is a very safe place,” Bratton explained. “But we have our incidences, we know. We’ve had more than our share of mass killing, some committed by terrorists, but the vast majority committed by American citizens living here who have access to firearms.”

Bratton then noted the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary that took the lives of 20 six and seven-year-olds.

“Newtown was an example of that — all those young children killed by an American citizen,” he continued. “So a bigger threat at the moment is our own citizens than those abroad. That may change as the world get less stable.”

Nurse Who Took Picture of Unconscious Patient’s Penis is Convicted

Back in 2015, Kristen Johnson thought it was good practice as a Nurse to take her iPhone and snap a photo of her unconscious patient’s penis, and then share that photo with her co-workers. Now in 2016, Kristen has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and was forced to give up her practicing license.

Kristen Johnson was forced to give up her license as part of a plea deal where she pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disseminating of unlawful surveillance photos.

Her conviction came after a nine-month investigation by the Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office into complaints from her Upstate University Hospital co-workers that she sent pictures of two patients via text message.

She was originally charged with two counts of second-degree unlawful surveillance and one count of second-degree disseminating unlawful surveillance.

The felony charge against her was reduced as part of her plea, which also requires Johnson to spend three years on probation.

According to the state, Johnson surrendered her license and did not contest the charge of moral unfitness in the practice.

Donald Trump Supporter Yells – “Kill Muslims, Kill Them All” – Video

An apparent Donald Trump supporter went to the streets of Michigan and shouted his desire to kill all Muslims! Maybe this is the man’s audition for a role in a Trump cabinet!

In the video, recorded Sunday, March 27, near Rosa Parks Circle, the man can be seen yelling at people across Monroe Center.

“Kill Muslims!” the man is heard yelling. “Kill them all! Kill them all!” As he walks away, he adds “Kill you all. Kill the Muslims.”

The man goes on to chant “Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump!” He punctuates each by pushing a fist into the air.

The video was uploaded to Facebook by Candy Valenzuela, who wrote that the man was shouting at a “group of muslims preaching knowledge.”

This just happened right in front of my eyes. A group of muslims preaching knowledge and this guy walks by and just starts yelling! If you cant hear it clearly, at the end he starts yelling Trump! After the video he actually walked by them, tried to swing, missed and fell! 😂😂 #racismstillexist

Bill Press – Media Ignores Bernie – “regurgitating spin from the Clinton campaign”

Bill Press nailed it squarely on the head. 

Bernie Sanders was the big winner in Alaska, Hawaii and Washington state on March 26, but you could sum up the media coverage in one sentence: “Bernie Sanders won three states on Saturday but he didn’t make a dent in Hillary Clinton’s lead among delegates.”

Wrong, wrong, wrong. When will the lame-stream media stop merely regurgitating spin from the Clinton campaign and start doing its job?

The truth is, there’s something profoundly significant happening in the Democratic primary — one might even say there’s a “political revolution” underway — and most political reporters are missing it entirely.

Have you noticed? All they talk about is “the math.” You know the drill. We hear it over and over: It’s mathematically impossible for Sanders to catch up. Clinton has an insurmountable lead. He can never win by big enough margins to make a difference. Even if he gets close, superdelegates will deny him the nomination. So he might as well just get out of the way and let Clinton start to focus on November.

There’s only one thing wrong with that theory: Sanders keeps winning, and Clinton keeps losing.

Why? Because politics is about a lot more than math. It’s also about message, ideas and policies. It’s also about excitement, enthusiasm and energy. And, no doubt about it, the ideas and message that are generating all the excitement, enthusiasm and energy at this moment in the primary are with Bernie Sanders.

Donald Accuses Cruz of Buying the Rights to Melania Trump’s Nude Photo

And just when you thought the Republicans couldn’t figure out how to take their presidential campaign to new lows, Donald Trump accuses Ted Cruz of buying the rights to Melania Trump’s nude GQ cover photo.

“From what I hear, he and his campaign went out and bought the cover shoot. Melania did a cover story for ‘GQ,’ a very strong modeling picture. No big deal,” Trump said on ABC’s “This Week.”

“But it was a cover story for ‘GQ,’ a big magazine. And it was, you know, fine. And from what I hear, somebody bought the rights to it and he was the one or his campaign bought the rights and they gave it to the super PAC.”

Trump said Cruz knew about the ad, adding he started the latest fight between the two. Last week, Trump threatened to “spill the beans” on Cruz’s wife in response to the ad featuring Melania Trump. He then shared a tweet featuring a photo of his wife next to a photo of Cruz’s wife, stating, “A picture is worth a thousands words.”

Cruz has denied knowing anything about the ad, and called it deplorable on Sunday.

Republican family values on full display!

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.

And rightly so.

Poll – Some Republican Women Want a Sexist President

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.

National Poll – Bernie Sanders And Hillary Clinton Tied

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.

#JebCanFixIt Endorses Ted Cruz

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.

NY Police Commissioner Slams Ted Cruz – “He doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about”

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.

AIPAC Slams Donald Trump for his Anti-Obama Comments

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.
