The Power Of The Internet

I don't shock easily but blew mind.
Today, at school, I was attacked by a special needs student with a violent history. I got a bit banged up but the kid did not harm any students or staff.  Not a big deal for me, it's happened a few times in my 19 year career.
What blew my mind was that even before the altercation had ended, the incident was on Facebook, Havasu Scanner Feed and being broadcast via Internet around the country.  A former colleague who lived in Virginia called a teacher before the incident ended, wondering what was going on.  An aide who was out sick informed a teacher at school what was happening and they came and helped because she read about on Facebook.
It just blows my mind that while was fighting with this, getting punched and kicked that it already was over the Internet for all to see.
Amazing.

10 Reasons Why Donald Trump Will Be President In 2017

Here are 10 reasons why I believe Donald Trump will win the presidential election in November.

1.  His opponent, Hillary Clinton.  The Democrats could not put up a weaker than Clinton.  Other than Clinton is a woman, she doesn't have any positive qualifications to be president.  It also helps Trump that Clinton is under heavy investigation for her e-mail scandal.
2.  Donald Trump knows how to win.  He beat 16 highly qualified Republicans in this race.  He has also won in business and on his reality shows, like The Apprentice.
3.  The media, for the most part, love him.  Fox News drools over him and Trump will show up just about anywhere for an interview.  The media also likes a lot of his flamboyant rants.  The media also want this election close so they can get ratings, so look for a few months of bad Hillary news, compared to Trump.
4.  The media don like Hillary.  While Trump is very open to the press, Clinton is not and the press, I believe will turn on her, even though they love her liberalism.
5.  Trump will turn all the protests and riots that will be sure to come into a positive.  Most people don't like people who are anarchists, rioters and thugs.  These thugs don't bother Trump and in fact, they embolden Trump.
6.  Trump is not afraid of Hillary Clinton and all of her investigators.  Trump's life already has been investigated and he more than likely, has no ghosts in his closet that will come out and hurt Trump.  Meanwhile, Hillary's closet is so overloaded with ghosts and scandals that they have had to hire Pods and their warehouses for all of Clinton's storage problems.
7.  Most of Trump's supporters will be excited to vote for Trump in November and the GOP establishment that don't like him will either shut up or quietly support Trump.
8.  Hillary's supporters are few and if she can't Bernie Sander's supporters to vote for her, she is toast.
9.  Hillary is a career politician and this is a bad year for career politicians or political establishment folks.  If you add the votes for Cruz, Trump and Sanders- all political outsiders, they crush Hillary.
10.  While Trump has large negatives now, I predict those negative numbers will decrease significantly as people get to know him better in the next 6 months or so and Hillary's numbers will stay about the same.

The Person Who Is Most responsible For Ted's Cruz's Loss

Mark Levin is a huge reason why Ted Cruz lost, especially in the past few weeks.
Levin is a conservative talk show host, even more conservative than Rush Limbaugh and he went all in with Cruz right around the New Hampshire primary.
This is also the time that Levin was bought off by Cruz, when Cruz's PAC's started to advertise on Levin's show, essentially buy Levin's love.  Levin was bribed by Cruz and then Levin went all in with Cruz, to the absurd. 
Levin repeated all the talking points the Left was saying about Trump.
Levin accused Trump of being a bully, even though that is Levin's trademark- being a bully against liberals.
He fully supported all the dirty tricks Cruz's campaign did in the GOP elections.
Levin spent almost all of his 3 hours on the air propping up Levin, basically ignoring the rest of the issues of the day.
While Levin was trashing Trump, he basically ignored Hillary Clinton, making many us wondering if Levin will support Hillary for president.
And Levin insulted all of Trump supporters, which some are his listeners.
So, congratulations to Mark Levin for helping to bring down Ted Cruz.
Update: From Breitbart:
Talk radio host Mark Levin, who has endorsed Republican presidential candidate Texas Senator Ted Cruz, blasted the Fox News Channel as “not a news channel” and a “Donald Trump super PAC” that will be “rubbing their own faces in their own feces” after the GOP gets “our a**es kicked in the general election” on Tuesday.
Levin began by saying to the Fox News Channel, “You’re not a news channel anymore. You’re the Fox Channel.”
He then turned to that day’s tiff between Trump and Cruz, and criticized the FNC program “Outnumbered” for not giving the context of the fight between the two, that Trump had accused Cruz’s father of being linked to JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. He further said that, according to a friend of his who contacted him,  another program, “The Five,” didn’t bring up Trump’s Oswald-Rafael Cruz theory until over 20 minutes past the hour. Levin continued, “Donald Trump is bringing up a National Enquirer story that accuses Ted Cruz’s father, Rafael Cruz, of being in cahoots, in one way or another, with Lee Harvey Oswald.” Levin further stated that, according to his source, “several of the people on ‘The Five’ thought this was hilarious. As a matter of fact, they were defending the National Enquirer. … That’s why it’s not the Fox News Channel, it’s the Fox Channel, and the Donald Trump super PAC.”
He then stated, “They may be laughing today, but they’re going to be rubbing their own faces in their own feces, I’ll tell you that, after this general election, because they have humiliated themselves.” Levin also criticized the “Fox & Friends” anchors for not challenging Trump’s Oswald-Rafael Cruz link based on a National Enquirer story.
Levin also declared, “We’re going to get our a**es kicked in the general election, ladies and gentleman. That’s the trajectory. Maybe it’ll change, but likely, it will not.” Levin elaborated that Trump’s comments about women, and the Oswald-Cruz theory wouldn’t play well, and that Trump was “limping” across the finish line to the nomination.  http://www.breitbart.com/video/2016/05/03/levin-fnc-a-trump-super-pac-theyll-be-rubbing-their-own-faces-in-their-own-feces-after-the-general/

Cruz Is Out

The Republicans have their nominee, Donald Trump when Ted Cruz dropped out.
You do have to give Ted Cruz credit for staying in this long and providing another path to those who hate the insiders of the GOP party, like myself.
It is tough to run for president, no matter what political party you belong in.  Days are long, nights are short and the food you eat is crap.
So, thanks to Ted Cruz for running.
