Republicans Cast Into Turmoil As Donald Trump Rides The Populist Surge 

By Philip Sherwil, Jul. 5, 2015, The Telegraph

For Donald Trump the entrepreneur, it was a damaging week. Two major television networks severed ties, Macy’s dropped his clothing line and Carlos Slim, the even richer Mexican tycoon, ended a joint venture with him.

But for Donald Trump the inveterate showman and Republican challengerfor president, the week was a triumph as he climbed in the opinion polls anddominated media coverage, despite the backlash against his decision to condemn Mexican immigrants as rapists and drug traffickers.

“Wow, Huffington Post just stated that I am number one in the polls of Republican candidates,” the brash billionaire bragged as the week closed, citing the liberal media outlet that has been a platform for many of the strongest attacks on him. “Thank you, but the work has just begun!”

Mr Trump was touting his first place in an average of 105 polls. Of the 14 candidates who have declared, Trump topped the field with 13.6 per cent support to 13.3 per cent for Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor and son and brother of two past presidents.

The outspoken presidential candidate and real estate magnate Donald Trump is once again defending his comments he made about illegal aliens from Mexico being criminals. He said he was surprised by the backlash.

“The crime is raging and it’s violent. And if you talk about it, it’s racist,” Trump told Fox News, days after an illegal Mexican immigrant deported five previous times allegedly killed a woman in San Francisco.

He made the remarks during his June 16 presidential announcement speech.

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best,” he said during the announcement. “They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems. They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they’re telling us what we’re getting.”

“I didn’t know it was going to be this severe,” Trump said Saturday. “I am a whipping post.”

Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney Join Marco Rubio In Attacking Donald Trump Over Immigration Comments: ‘A Severe Error'

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney attacked real estate mogul and 2016 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump on Saturday, telling a CNN reporter he thinks Trump’s remarks on illegal immigrants were a “severe error.”

“Do you think Donald Trump’s comments on Mexicans have hurt the Republican Party?” a reporter asked Romney in video carried on CNN on Saturday.

“Yes, I think he made a severe error in saying what he did about Mexican-Americans,” Romney replied. “And it’s unfortunate.”

“Do you think the candidates should speak up about that?” the reporter followed up.

“I think a number of them have,” Romney replied.

Romney, who wasn’t able to get Republicans to turn out to vote for him in the 2012 election and therefore lost to incumbent President Barack Obama, hosted a slumber party this weekend for two 2016 GOP presidential candidates, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

Bit Of A Head Scratcher!

NBC Fires Donald Trump, But Keeps The Rev. Al Sharpton

By Dwight L. Schwab Jr. Jul. 3, 2015, Washington Examiner

In one of the most startling politically correct decisions any major television network has ever made, NBChas fired Donald Trump. Whether it was the right decision after his remarks about illegals coming over the border from Mexico or not, how is it they retain the Reverend Al Sharpton who makes Trump seem mellow? The MSNBC host has made equally offensive statements (or more) and keeps his job, Kayleigh McEnany, editor of Political Prospect, told CNN on Wednesday.

Yet Trump was immediately criticized when he said in his June 16 presidential campaign announcement, "When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." Hardly anything more alarming than most of Sharpton’s commentary’s or false remarks he has made in the past away from the MSNBC studios; Ferguson, MO and the ensuing riots being a prime example.

But that wasn’t the only hit Trump got in recent days. Last week, Univision announced it would not air Trump's Miss Universe pageant. NBC followed their lead by announcing Monday; they too were cutting all ties with Trump, including his Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants and dumping him as host of "The Apprentice." Yet the reverend keeps his job as a bombastic and highly controversial host of a regular “news” and commentary show at NBC’s sister network.

George Takei Apologizes For 'Ad Hominem And Uncivil' Blackface Comment 

By Josh Feldman, Jul. 3, 2015, Mediaite

Star Trek actor George Takei came under some pretty heavy fire this week when he called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas “a clown in blackface.” Takei was clearly upset with Thomas for his vote against gay marriage when the highest court in the land ruled to uphold it nationwide, and he called Thomas “a disgrace to America” who doesn’t belong on the court.

Takei made the controversial remark in speaking ofThomas’ dissent about slavery and “dignity.”Yesterday he doubled down and insisted his remarks were not racist, but lots of people (including some liberal commentators) gave Takei flak for making a racist remark, regardless of intent.

Well, this afternoon, Takei posted a lengthy apology on Facebook completely walking back his comments about Thomas and saying he understands now his words weren’t “carefully considered.”

Here’s Takei’s full apology: www.mediaite.com
