Donald Trump speech being used to promote USA v Mexico game by FOX
Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric has made tomorrow night’s USA v Mexico winner-take-all CONCACAF Cup match an even higher stakes deal. That’s thanks both to Trump, and FOX Sports who have decided to use the speech to promote tomorrow’s game. The temperature is already super high as I can personally attest to around this match so […]
Worrying poll numbers forcing Jeb Bush to rewrite history?
Despite all of the discussion that Governor Jeb Bush is a principled thinker we’ve stated time and again his is simply an opportunistic politician who lacks his brother’s gift for connecting with ordinary folks or his father’s gift for intellect.

Having worked in and around politics for many years before branching out doing other work, […]
Jeb’s Trump & vets hypocrisy
Jeb Bush claims to have a consistent “conservative” ideology. This week, he attacked Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump for his ridiculous words about Senator John McCain, a former POW in Vietnam.
