Donald Trump's Narcissism

In dropping his nascent bid for the Republican Presidential Nomination, Donald Trump proved, yet again, his ego has no bounds.

Instead of acknowledging his drop in the polls after questioning the veracity of Barack Obama's birth in Hawaii and the short-form birth certificate issued, he tries to spin his withdrawal as reluctance to depart from his love of the private sector. Trump went on to state: "I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election[.]" So after finding himself with his tail between his legs, he makes an even greater mockery of himself.

CNN's Anti-Israeli Bias

CNN is unable to put any event into context when it concerns Israel. In reporting on a Palestinean protest to mark the formation of the State of Israel, the reporter links Israel's formation to the displacement of 700,000 Palestineans 60 years ago.

The actual fact is that the 700,000 people were not displaced by Israel. They left. They left because Arab countries intended to (and, indeed, did) attack Israel on the very day of its formation, to simultaneously snuff out the Jewish state upon its birth. The Palestineans were encouraged to leave as they were assured by Arab leaders that the Jews would be destroyed and they would able return to their land and homes free of Israel and the Jews. As it happens, Israeli defeated the Arab armies and those who had left in anticipation of Israel's defeat were unable to return to the land they VOLUNTARILY vacated to fulfill their own political agenda.

"Anita"

Hoy de noche, vi una pelicula increíble en el festival de peliculas latinas en Chicago que se llama "Anita" de Argentina.
