Watermelons and the history of farm labor in South Texas. Note the quickly mentioned "farms and industry brought in Mexicans to break the US Labor strike against them." Funny how since then it's mostly been immigrants (documented and undocumented) who work our farms and who are blamed for "stealing our jobs."

Why does the media focus more on Trumpster's missteps than on Clinton's? "Trump is also the focus of the news more often because he is nearly always making more news — at least by our traditional journalistic definition. He says and does things that are different, that stand out, that surprise and even alter the landscape. Whether being outrageous in debates or carrying his off-the-cuff behavior to extremes in speeches, his sheer defiance of accepted norms and best political practices demands attention… By contrast, the implications surrounding the Clinton emails exhumed by court order are a routine species of scandal stamp-collecting. And they are the fruit of conservative activists and advocates who have been generating anti-Clinton material since her husband was president."
