The Struggle Continues
Hillary is the presumptive nominee but Bernie says, “The struggle continues!”
President Obama says, “I endorse Hillary.” “I don’t think there’s ever been a more qualified candidate to hold the office.”
And what does FBI Director Comey say?
The Donald Still Feels The Judge Has it In For Him
The federal government has sued Trump University for fraud. Donald Trump is taking heat for calling the judge in the case a Mexican. Judge Curiel was born in Indiana. The Donald still feels the judge has it in for him. Curiel is ethnically Hispanic and a member of La Raza.
Jim Geraghty in National Review says Curiel doesn’t appear to be an activist.
Ben Stein says judges aren’t above bias and that Trump is “totally right”.
Democrats and some Republicans are calling him racist.
Stuart Taylor thinks the really troubling thing is that Trump seemed to threaten the judge with the power of the presidency if he is elected.
In 2010 President Obama said Latinos should “punish our enemies and reward our friends.” He also scolded Supreme Court justices during a State of the Union speech for the Citizens United ruling.
Hillary’s Nuclear Codes Words
Hillary attacked The Donald in a major foreign policy speech. She said he’s temperamentally unfit to be president:
“Donald Trump’s ideas aren’t just different, they’re dangerously incoherent. They’re not even really ideas, just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lies,” she said. “He is not just unprepared. He is temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability and immense responsibility.”
Not only that…
“He should not have the nuclear codes because it’s very easy to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because someone got under his very thin skin. We cannot let him roll the dice with America.”
On the other hand, due to her failure to secure top secret material on her private server, Judge Napolitano thinks Hillary is likely guilty of espionage.
Media Trump Loves to Hate
Donald Trump calls news shows to be interviewed. He never turns down a microphone. The media can’t resist him and now he’s the Republican presumptive nominee.
Media Trump Loves to Hate
But it’s media Trump loves to hate. He calls them dishonest and disgusting. (He’s right if he’s talking about Katie Couric’s gun documentary.) Yesterday he called ABC reporter Tom Llamas a sleaze.
Charles Hurt thinks Trump’s a marketing genius. He turned yesterday’s press conference into a 40 minute free campaign commercial about money he raised for veterans.
War on Isis
On Friday President Obama acknowledged, to Stars and Stripes, three military deaths in Iraq despite his pledge to end war. I planned to draw a cartoon honoring American war dead for Memorial Day. But it kind of morphed into a cartoon about the war living.
Daily Beast reported American Special Forces, wearing Kurdish insignia, were photographed in Syria 18 miles from Raqqa, the ISIS capitol . Meanwhile, the U.S. is providing air support in a difficult Iraqi campaign to liberate Fallujah, again.
