Vicente Fox: Former Mexican President Says Country Won't Pay for Donald Trump's Proposed Border Wall
"I declare, I'm not going to pay for that f-----g wall," Fox told Fusion's Jorge Ramos Thursday, regarding Trump's plans for a U.S.-Mexico border wall. "He should pay for it. He's got the money."

BWAHAHA! Rove-e Wan Kenobi rushes to the aid of Princess Leia, a.k.a. "The Republican Party."
Rove: Republican primary 'far from settled'
While Rove said Republicans still have an opportunity to rally behind a non-Trump candidate, he said that time is quickly running out to do so.
He said if Trump is victorious in several March 15 winner-take-all contests, including Ohio and Florida, it would take an “extraordinary effort to defeat him.”
“There is still time for the non-Trump GOP majority to coalesce around a single candidate, but not much,” Rove said. “Things can remain somewhat divided on March 1 as long as the majority is largely unified on March 8 and fully behind a single candidate on the Ides of March.”
“If not, the hopes of the party’s non-Trump majority will suffer the same fate as Caesar,” he added.

FORGET the two pricks in the KKK Halloween costumes. Trump just got a REAL Klan endorsement.

100 major media articles about me today, but not one dared to call to call me and interview on why White Americans are overwhelmingly supporting Donald Trump.
They are obviously afraid to hear the logical reasons I offer.
1) Because we must secure our border
2) Because we break the power of the Jewish Federal Reserve and predator banks Goldman Sachs that are robbing us blind.
3) Because we are tired of massive Jewish money and lobbies controlling American politics
4) Because we sick and tired of Zio Wars
5) Because we don't war Word War III with Russiia
6) Because like every people on Earth, White people have a right to preserve their heritage, their nations, their values, and provide for a decent, not a THIRD WORLD future for our children.
7) Because Trump exposes the lies of a controlled media and a controlled opposition media (Fox News)
Even the New York Times admits that the Republican rank and file have adopted my political programs. Donald Trump has the same positions I had in 1992 in the primaries where even though I was illegally kept out of debates I scored lot more support than Paul, Carson and others in primaries I was not illegally kept out of.
The fact that Trump (and others) say what I say almost 25 years ago does not make him bad, but it makes me pretty damn good.

Cimarron High School (Las Vegas) hit by vandalism after men dressed in KKK clothing disrupt caucus
Cimarron High School hit by vandalism after men dressed in KKK clothing disrupt caucus
http://news3lv.com/news/local/cimarron-high-school-hit-by-vandalism-after-men-dressed-in-kkk-clothing-disrupt-caucus
LAS VEGAS (KSNV News3LV) — A Clark County High School disrupted by people dressed in KKK clothing during a caucus has become the target of vandalism.
A group of teenagers at Cimarron Memorial High School had their cars tagged with spray paint Wednesday and the message is one of hate. The incident unfolded while the kids were in class.
The search is just beginning for those behind the mess. Clark County School District Police confirmed to News 3 that officers are investigating the vandalism. Six vehicles were hit by vandals. No one is in custody but police don't have much to go on.
17-year-old Brendan Mulcahy was in a classroom when his truck was damaged by the taggers. "There was a rock on the ground about this area when I came out and it almost looks like someone either came and played dodge ball with my truck and my truck lost," said Brendan Mulcahy.

Reince Priebus is dancing just as fast as he can
February 24, 2016
And then I remember Terri Schiavo, whose living remains were tormented in my backyard for the same remorseless cameras Jeb stood in front of, with smiles dying on his lips. I remember Jeb having no standing to file a brief on behalf of her parents — who refused to let their son-in-law pull the plug — and filing one anyway. I remember "Terri's Law" shooting through the Florida house and senate and being signed right away, granting Jeb the unconstitutional power to ignore a court order. I remember his executive order that removed Terri Schiavo from the hospice in which her husband wanted to let her die and took her to a hospital and shoved a feeding tube back down her throat.
I remember the Florida Supreme Court ruling unanimously against Jeb Bush, and his running the case up to Washington to circumvent it — first to the U.S. Supreme Court, then to the U.S. Congress. I remember the FDLE being readied to break into Terri Schiavo's room and "rescue" her from fake complaints of abuse.
And then I remember her death and her autopsy and details of a brain deadened to all sense and pain, and a governor who did not admit a scintilla of error or doubt or even moment's horrified self-recognition — not even after warping the law and courts and constitutional governance he held so dear to allow the state to interfere so cruelly in the life of a single person.
I remember all that, and I realize that Donald Trump could have stripped Jeb Bush on the debate stage and beaten him with a rod, and it would not have been half so much as he deserved.
For people in the media who have called Jeb! a "class act," let's look back at Terri Schiavo.

Carson compares campaign to lions and tigers eating the eagle at the Coliseum in ancient Rome
While Carson polled well in the lead up to the 2016 contest, the Republican has failed to gain traction in the early contests and has yet to crack the top three in any primary or caucus.
Carson continued Tuesday evening with a somewhat baffling comparison to ancient Rome.
"It's just a matter of time before [people] start demanding answers, and they start demanding solutions because right now we're sort of in the ancient Rome stage where everyone wanted to go to the Coliseum, 'Oh, bring on the lions and tigers, let's see them eat the eagle. This is cool.' While Rome was burning."
"But we have a bunch of fire extinguishers, we are going to put the fire out and put the fire in our bellies," he said.

A dispute over garlic knots resulted in complete pan-dough-monium at a Florida pizza joint.
The 9 Most Memorable Crimes That Went Down at Fast Food Restaurants
An all-out brawl broke out at the Palm Coast Pizzeria in Daytona Beach after an order of garlic knots arrived with melted cheese on top. According to the Flagler County Police Report, 25-year-old Jessica Conti was so outraged by the presence of cheese atop her garlic knots that she “demanded her money back” and was angered when the cashier put her money down on the counter in what she called a “disrespectful manner.”
That’s when Vincent Conti, 23, Hareem Jones, 26, and Shawn Cody, 32, arrived on the scene and began ransacking the pizzeria, knocking over a fax machine and the cash register, and destroying pizza boxes and food in the process. At one point, one of the perpetrators threw a glass vial of parmesan cheese at a TV screen, damaging it in the process.
All four were arrested with burglary and criminal mischief. It is unclear whether they’ve hired lawyers or if they were allowed to finish their garlic knots.
