When Jorge Ramos [Univision] is invited back after being escorted out because he wouldn't stop interrupting, he and Donald Trump had an interesting exchange. Be sure to watch. 4:48 Video: Donald Trump Confronted by Univision Jorge Ramos at Iowa Press Before Rally Speech " Donald Trump explains that he will get rid of the gangs [which is the only group he says he will deport (if you've read it) in his plan] and then says to Ramos, "You're going to like this," "I will be humane" "I want them to come back" because "I have a bigger heart than you"...

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is the quintessential left-wing shill. When it comes to shamelessly mouthing liberal talking points, the woman will defend just about anything. Of late the DNC mouthpiece and supporter of the unrestricted slaughter of 4,000 babies a day has jumped aboard the Black Lives Matter bandwagon, because as long as the black life is outside of the womb and not on the streets of Chicago, Debbie does believe that “black lives matter.” In addition to embracing that tortured logic, Wasserman Schultz also celebrates the ongoing dissolution of the First Amendment. Appearing on behalf of the PC Police, Debbie...

Remember when Jeb Bush was on top of the polls? Or Scott Walker? Both have now fallen to the point where they are fighting for table scraps, tied for fourth place in New Hampshire. Bush has 7%, while Trump has 35%. A new national poll is no better for Bush, showing Trump with a 30-point lead (40% to 10%) over Bush. And now Bush is apparently having trouble raising money and, incredibly, paying staffers: A prominent Florida donor backing Bush said the former Sunshine State governor and his supporting super PAC are having to work even harder to keep up...

After raising a stunning $120 million, Bush’s fundraising operations are finding it difficult to keep pace. There are signs that Jeb Bush’s fundraising juggernaut is losing some momentum, after banking a stunning $120 million for his campaign and super PAC in the first half of the year. A prominent Florida donor backing Bush said the former Sunshine State governor and his supporting super PAC are having to work even harder to keep up the pace, as hard-money contributions have been harder to come by in recent weeks. “The debate performance scared a few people,” said Brian Ballard, a Tallahassee lobbyist...

Jorge Ramos, one of the most influential journalists in the United States, says he had never been thrown out of a press conference before GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump did so last night. "This is the first time," the news anchor told his network. "It's never happened anywhere in the world. I've never been forcibly removed from a press conference or an interview."

Jorge Ramos, host of the Fusion Network show America with Jorge Ramos, disclosed Friday that his daughter Paola has signed up as an employee of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. In a statement posted to Fusion’s website, Ramos expressed pride for his daughter but insisted his family connection would not affect his objectivity as a journalist: As journalists the most important thing we have is our credibility and integrity. We maintain that, in part, through transparency with our audience, our colleagues and our critics. That is why I am disclosing that my daughter, Paola, has accepted a position working with...

Trump vs. Jorge Ramos on Birthright Citizenship, Wall: "Building A Building That's 95 Stories Tall" More Difficult full title Univision anchor Jorge Ramos took on Donald Trump at a press conference held by the Republican presidential candidate in Dubuque, Iowa on Tuesday evening. The two went head to head for five minutes over birthright citizenship, how Trump would build a wall, how he would deport illegal immigrants and more. Trump fought back against Ramos and attempted to get him to acknowledge crime committed by illegal immigrants. Earlier, Ramos was ejected from the presser for stepping out of turn. Ramos asked...

Univision anchor Jorge Ramos was escorted from a Donald Trump campaign event by security on Tuesday. The Spanish-language anchor attempted to ask Trump a question, to which Trump responded, “You haven’t been called.” He then told Ramos, “Go back to Univision.” More to come…

Advocates for mass-migration are using skewed financial claims to smear Donald Trump’s popular border proposals, which actually would help the near-bankrupt Social Security and Medicare programs. For every illegal migrant household that leaves the United States under Trump’s plan, Americans would recoup nearly three-quarters of a million dollars ($719,350), according to 2010 data collected by Heritage scholar Robert Rector. But business interests want the migrants to stay. That’s because migrants help lower the cost of Americans’ wages, but also because the migrants spend their wages — plus taxpayer aid — at retail stories and rental agencies. For example, the American...

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush will take part in a town hall meeting on Tuesday morning, but he also is expected to be met by a group protesters. Bush is holding the town hall to discuss veterans affairs at the VFW Post in Englewood. But a big demonstration is planned across the street. The protesters are upset that Bush and other Republican presidential candidates have used the term “anchor babies” over the past couple of weeks. Bush has used the term in stops around the country when discussing immigration. It describes the children who are born on U.S. soil to...

What in the world has happened to Jeb Bush? The man with a powerful last name -- who the Republican Party thought could leap into the 2016 nomination with a single bound -- looks more like a puny contender than a political Superman. According to a Rasmussen poll, 57 per cent of Republican voters believe that Donald Trump will be the GOP nominee. A mere two months ago, Trump ranked near the bottom of the 12 declared GOP candidates at the time. He now leads the field of 17 candidates. Jeb’s got the money and political dynasty but he doesn’t...

What’s the aphorism? When you’re in a hole, stop digging? Jeb! Bush was in McAllen, Texas today, at the border with Mexico, raising funds and speaking Spanish. He was also deflecting persistent questions about his use of the expression “anchor babies,” which has had the mainstream media hounding him since he spoke it on Bill Bennett’s radio show last Wednesday (19 August). As Politico primly puts it: “Anchor babies” is a derogatory term used to describe children who are born in the United States to undocumented parents. Now, first of all, the MSM seem to have suffered CLIF — complete...

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Monday it's "ludicrous" that Democrats are attacking him for using the term "anchor baby" last week while talking about illegal immigration. "This is all how politics is played. And by the way, I think we all need to take a step back and chill out a little bit as it relates to the political correctness, that somehow you have to be scolded every time you say something," said the Republican presidential candidate. Speaking in English just as much as in Spanish, Bush took questions from reporters here in the border town of McAllen, Texas,...

Given the opportunity to get to the White House, presidential candidate Jeb Bush would fight to grant Dreamers a path to citizenship while working to fix the broken immigration system in America. “I, as President, I would go to congress and change the law to give them not a residency but citizenship,” Bush said in Spanish during a meeting attended by this writer.

Jeb Bush sought to draw contrasts between himself and fellow Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, whom at first he avoided addressing by name, on the divisive issue of immigration after he visited the U.S.-Mexico border on Monday. The former Florida governor said calls to build a big fence along the border are unrealistic and would not solve the problem of illegal immigration. He said that his tour of the border with local officials made clear that “the proposal made by another candidate of building a fence…doesn’t work. You have to have a much deeper strategy.” When a reporter brought up...

Jeb Bush bashed critics of the term “anchor babies” during a trip to the border, where he dismissed the immigration plan of presidential rival Donald Trump. “This is ludicrous for the Clinton campaign and others to suggest that somehow I am using a derogatory term,” Bush said after a roundtable with local officials to talk border security and immigration in McAllen, Texas. “What I’m talking about is the specific case of fraud being committed where there’s organized efforts, frankly it’s more related to Asian people, coming into our country, having children in that organized effort, taking advantage of that noble...

Jeb Bush continued Monday to dismiss criticism for using the term "anchor babies," saying that it is "ludicrous" that he is being accused of using a term that insults immigrants. "Nothing about what I've said should be viewed as derogatory towards immigrants at all," the GOP presidential candidate said after meeting with local officials near the U.S.-Mexico border in McAllen, TX. "This is all how politics plays. And by the way, I think we need to take a step back and chill out a little bit as it relates to the political correctness that somehow you have to be scolded...

Jeb Bush makes a stop near the U.S.-Mexico border in McAllen, Texas, on Monday, just days after Democrats railed the Republican presidential candidate for defending his use of the term "anchor babies" while talking about illegal immigration. Bush -- seeking a reputation as a moderate Republican when it comes to immigration policy -- has hopes to help woo Hispanic voters. But Democrats are pouncing on his use of the term -- which many find offensive -- to paint him as disingenuous. Hillary Clinton joined Democratic groups and some Latinos in condemning his comments last week. "How about 'babies,' 'children,' or...

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush visits deep South Texas today for a private meeting with local officials to discuss border security, the economy and other issues. Bush will also attend a campaign luncheon where contribution levels start at $1,000, while the highest level of $15,000 buys priority seating for two and membership in the so-called Texas Leadership Committee, comprised of generous Texas GOP donors. Before leaving the Rio Grande Valley, the former Florida governor will hold an afternoon news conference. Republican front-runner Donald Trump, who toured Laredo in July, commented Monday morning on “Fox and Friends” that Bush would find...

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush arrived at McAllen-Miller International Airport on Monday for a presidential campaign fundraiser and border security briefing.
