Mexico’s President: ‘No Way’ Country Will Pay for Donald Trump’s Wall

Mexico’s president said that there is “no way” his country would ever pay for a wall between it and the United States.

According to KTLA:

In a wide-ranging interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, Enrique Peña Nieto shot down Donald Trump’s campaign promise that he’s going to build a wall and Mexico will foot the bill.

Peña Nieto stressed that economic and social prosperity on both sides of the border relies on a firm relationship between Mexico and the United States.

“We also have to bear in mind that the security of the United States is linked with the security of its neighboring countries,” he said. “And this is what we have built. And I’ll say it again, this is what we have been doing with the U.S. government. We have a relationship of coordination, of collaboration and of cooperation in the area of security, precisely in order to have security in Mexico, to have security in the U.S. and … we are journey companions. We are strategic partners working for security in North America.”

“There is no way that Mexico can pay [for] a wall like that.”

Hillary Clinton Says White People Need To Start Listening To African-American Concerns

The tragic killings of black men at the hands of police officers this week is no doubt going to make fodder for politicians during this election year.

The presidential hopeful is taking the opportunity to put her outrage on full display.

Huffington Post:

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said on Friday that white people must do more to understand the experiences that African-Americans have had with police officers.

Speaking with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Clinton made the remarks in response to questions about why she believes she’s more qualified than presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump to close the racial divide in America.

“I will call for white people, like myself, to put ourselves in the shoes of those African-American families, who fear every time their children go somewhere, who have to have the talk about … how to really protect themselves, when they are the ones who should be expecting protection from encounters with the police,” Clinton said.

“I’m going to be talking to white people. I think we are the ones who have to start listening to the legitimate cries that are coming from our African-American fellow citizens, and we have so much more to be done, and we have got to get about the business of doing it,” said Clinton. “We can’t be engaging in hateful rhetoric or incitement of violence. We need to bring people together.”

Alton Sterling’s Oldest Son Breaks Down In Tears During His Mother’s Statement On Father’s Murder

What a cold blooded story. Literally.

I really don’t have the words to describe the emotions I feel for this family.

I feel sorry for his children, who have to forever live with this travesty as the last vision of their father, on the ground being jumped by 2 police officers and shot in cold blood. Especially when he was out there attempting to sell CDs & other goods to support his family.

What’s even more terrifying and devastating is that someone can just simply call in a report of a “black man with a gun” and this is the end result. There was no gun found, btw.

Below is a video of the mother of Alton Sterling’s children speaking on the family’s devastation caused by his cold blooded murder.

Sadly, Sterling’s oldest son, 15, breaks down into tears with grief. No child should have to endure this kind of pain, especially at the hands of the supposed “good guys.”

Donate to the Alton Sterling Family Scholarship which was set up to help support his children.

Hopefully with time the children will be able to use this horrifying situation to better themselves & their community.

It’s gotta be a heavy & seemingly unfair cross to bear.
