PBS Guest Blames 15th-Century ‘Spanish Colonizers’ for Trump-Voting Hispanics

Amanpour & Co. helpfully tried to explain the bizarre stubbornness of Hispanics who risk voting incorrectly for Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election – by hosting author-activist Paola Ramos, who worked both in the Obama administration and as Deputy Director of Hispanic Media for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign against…Donald Trump.

That’s taxpayer-funded “objectivity” for you.

Meet the alt-Right Crunchy Mums

Granola breakfast pizza

If you were lucky enough to have a mother growing up, there are a few moments you’ll probably remember. In the middle of the night, stumping over from your bedroom to admit “I frew up”. The ceremonial bringing out of the sick bucket. A cold flannel on the forehead, Savlon on the grazed knee.

In those moments, your mother not only knows best, but becomes a sort of goddess. Against the fevers, blocked noses and nettle-stung shins of childhood, she wields a mystical healing power — the ability to kiss it better, to ordain that you’ll be “right as rain” in the morning (and you always are). This relationship rests on a limitless bank of trust, the ultimate vulnerability and the ultimate faith.
