Colin Kaepernick: Hillary Clinton Would Be in Prison if She Was Any Other Person
[excerpt]
KAEPERNICK: “I mean, once again, it wasn’t a timing thing, it wasn’t something that was planned. But I think the two presidential candidates that we currently have also represent the issues that we have in this country right now.”
REPORTER: “Do you want to expand on that?”
KAEPERNICK: “I mean, you have Hillary who has called black teens or black kids super predators, you have Donald Trump who’s openly racist. I mean, we have a presidential candidate who has deleted e-mails and done things illegally and is a presidential candidate. That doesn’t make sense to me because if that was any other person you’d be in prison. So, what is this country really standing for?”

The Hill: Poll: 67 percent think illegal immigrants more likely to commit serious crime
A new poll by the Pew Research Center shows that 67 percent of Americans think illegal immigrants are more likely than citizens to commit serious crimes, data that may hearten Donald Trump given the Republican presidential nominee’s tough stance on illegal immigration.
The Republican National Convention in Cleveland earlier this summer featured speeches by parents whose children were killed by illegal immigrants.
But while two-thirds of respondents nationwide think illegal immigrants are more likely to commit serious crimes, 61 percent oppose building a wall along the U.S-Mexico border, which Trump has endorsed throughout his presidential campaign.
A plurality, 45 percent, believe that creating a path for illegal immigrants to become citizens and strengthening border security, along with the enforcement of immigration laws, should be given equal priority.
Those were the pillars of the comprehensive immigration reform bill passed by the Senate in 2013 that stalled in the GOP-controlled House.
Trump has recently opened the door to proposals that would allow illegal immigrants to become U.S. citizens.

ICYMI: AP: Combined 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million to Clinton Foundation, met with State
AP: Many donors to Clinton Foundation met with her at State
By Stephen Braun and Eileen Sullivan, Aug. 23, 2016, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money — either personally or through companies or groups — to the Clinton Foundation. It's an extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.
At least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press. Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. At least 40 donated more than $100,000 each, and 20 gave more than $1 million.

Fail: Expert Says Obamacare Might Be on the Brink of Total Collapse (VIDEO)
By Guy Benson, Aug. 23, 2016, Townhall
Remember Bob Laszewski? He's the health insurance industry expert whose generally accurate and prescient criticisms of Obamacare over the span of several years have largely been vindicated by events. He's been watching the steady departure of insurers from the law's failing exchanges (here's the latest example) with increasing concern, warning that the entire system risks implosion within the next year if the current trajectory isn't significantly altered. Watch, via CNBC:

Politico: Melania Trump taking legal action against Daily Mail for defamation
Melania Trump has started legal action against the Daily Mail and other outlets for what she claims is a defamatory article about her past.
Charles Harder, an attorney for Trump, said in an email that the legal action goes beyond just the Daily Mail and is not limited to the United Kingdom, where the Daily Mail is headquartered.
"Mrs. Trump has placed several news organizations on notice of her legal claims against them, including Daily Mail among others, for making false and defamatory statements about her supposedly having been an “escort” in the 1990s," Harder said in an email. "All such statements are 100% false, highly damaging to her reputation, and personally hurtful. She understands that news media have certain leeway in a presidential campaign, but outright lying about her in this way exceeds all bounds of appropriate news reporting and human decency."
Harder was in the news recently for representing Hulk Hogan in his successful bid to sue Gawker, bankrolled by Silicon Valley investor and Donald Trump supporter Peter Thiel, who spoke at the Republican National Convention in July.
