John Owens’ information apparently hit a nerve. Within a day of the news report regarding the AG’s refusal to sue Trump University, Ken Paxton’s office has issued a “cease and desist” letter to Mr. Owens. I wrote about that investigation here. The cease and desist letter warns the former head of the consumer protection…

Donald Trump, as if to insist that he is indeed racist, attacks the judge in his case for being “Mexican.” One of the lawsuits against the now defunct Trump University was filed in California. The federal judge presiding over the case is Gonzalo Curiel, a Mexican-American judge in San Diego. Don Trump described the Judge…

One of the frightening things about Donald Trump is his tendency to shoot from the hip. He makes decisions, important policy decisions based on unfounded assumptions.

The reporter wrote a story just after 9/11 quoting some law enforcement officials that some…

Donald Trump makes racist comments about Hispanics and seems to suffer no repercussions. He is set to host Saturday Night Live on Nov. 7. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus has asked NBC to rescind the invitation to Mr. Trump to host SNL. See CBS news report. If this were a lawsuit, his remarks about Hispanics…

Donald Trump, who apparently has a reputation for saying strange things, has said Sen. McCain was not a war hero because he was captured. Later, he qualified his comments, saying the senator was a hero but suggesting that being captured diminished his service. His comments are beyond silly. Donald Trump never served. He is far…

According to Donald Trump, many Mexican immigrants are rapists. He defended his comments later. See Business insider report. They also bring drugs and crime. But, some, he says, are good people. All I can say his experience with Mexican immigrants is far different than mine.

Surprisingly, Sen. Ted Cruz supported Mr. Trump in making…
