If my memory serves me correctly, during the first prime-time Republican debate, in Cleveland, Ohio, it transpired that Marco Rubio, a nice enough, charismatic “regimist,” had spent a total of two years of his working life outside of government (or in “public service,” to use a euphemism). Why wasn’t he asked what it was that he did during that time?

When In The US, Speak English
I remember an old joke that was told in Israel, and was aimed at the ultra-orthodox who dress oddly and won’t speak Hebrew:
An Israeli in shorts and a Tembel Hat is walking down the street, when from across the street an ultra-orthodox Jew in black garb shouts obscenities at him in Yiddish. These Jews believe that speaking Hebrew before Messiah arrives is heretic. To ensure messiah comes (often referred to as the longest coming in history), the Jew has to remain weak, dispossessed and persecuted—a sickly spirit without a corporeal country.
The Israeli shouts back, “Speak Hebrew, goy!” Goy means non-Jew.
Kova Tembel:
This reminds me of Donald Trump’s retort to Jeb Bush rattling off in Spanish on the campaign trail. The Trump retort was, incidentally, not only righteous but culturally conservative in the extreme. CNN:
Trump took a jab Wednesday at Jeb Bush for using Spanish to dismiss the mogul’s conservative credibility.
… “I like Jeb,” Trump told Breitbart News. “He’s a nice man. But he should really set the example by speaking English while in the United States.”
Trump was referring to the former Florida governor’s comments to reporters on Tuesday about Trump’s policies.
“El hombre no es conservador,” Bush said, which translates to, “This man is not a conservative.” …
Scott Walker: Equal Opportunity Fencer
Canada, Economy, IMMIGRATION, Intelligence, Labor, Republicans
Republican presidential hopeful Scott Walker is an equal opportunity fencer. Reflexive, laboring to show he does not discriminate against Mexico, Walker showed himself to be a bit of a bumpkin. As follows:
Republican presidential hopeful Scott Walker has called building a wall along the border between the US and Canada a “legitimate issue”.
Illegal immigration and the security of the southern border with Mexico have been major issues in the Republican race for president, but the northern border has not been discussed.
Mr Walker made the comments in response to a question from a NBC News reporter.
“That is a legitimate issue for us to look at,” he said on Sunday.
Does the US have a problem with a deluge of illegal immigrants pouring over the Canadian border? No. Canada is a high-wage area. The US is a high-wage area. Latin America is a low-wage area. Migratory pressure, Mr.Walker, flows from low-wage to high-wage regions.
Political Power Couple: Trump & Coulter
Ann Coulter, IMMIGRATION, Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, Republicans
It is a mistake to interpret Ann Coulter’s use of the Biblical Joseph’s story—at the Donald Trump rally in Iowa, Tuesday—as an allegory for Mitt Romney’s political suffering. No, no , no! Ms. Coulter is talking quite clearly and metaphorically about long-suffering America under the lying Demopublican “regimists,” when she says,
“He had to be sold into slavery, imprisoned, betrayed, so that eventually he could save the Jews. Maybe Mitt Romney had to lose. And maybe we had to give Republicans one more chance in 2014.
“And maybe [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell and [House Speaker] John Boehner had to betray us once again to pave the way for President Donald Trump.
“God hasn’t given up on America yet.”
“He” is everyday America.
Chelsea Schilling of WND reports on a win-win situation:
Conservative firebrand and bestselling author Ann Coulter joined Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at a rally in Iowa Tuesday – and she delivered an epic smackdown of “speech Nazis” who ridiculed the GOP frontrunner for using the term “anchor baby.”
