  • Sarah Palin To Immigrants Who Want To Stay In US: ‘Speak American’

    Sarah Palin urged people of the United States including immigrants to “speak American.”

    Palin made the comment after presidential candidate Donald Trump criticized his rival Jeb Bush for speaking Spanish.

    “It’s a benefit of Jeb Bush to be able to be so fluent in Spanish, because we have a large and wonderful Hispanic population that is helping to build America,” Palin told CNN.

    Although she praised Bush for being fluent in Spanish, the former Republican vice presidential candidate would like it better if people “speak American.”

    “On the other hand, you know, I think we can send a message and say: ‘You want to be in America? A, you better be here legally, or you’re out of here. B, when you’re here, let’s speak American.’ I mean, that’s just, that’s – let’s speak English,” Palin said. She firmly believes that what unites the nation is the “language understood by all.” The issue started when Donald Trump openly criticized Bush for replying to a question in Spanish but, Bush defended himself saying the question was said in Spanish. Bush promised to keep speaking Spanish despite Trump’s proposition that people should only speak English in the US.

    Palin said she, too, had learned Spanish and French in high school but she joked she got them all mixed up by the time she was graduating.

    Meanwhile, Palin defended the Republican Party after South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley noticed that the Republicans appear “cold and unwelcoming to minorities.” Palin explained that it is not true because one of the party’s goals is to accept people’s differences and their views.

    If Trump wins in the upcoming Presidential elections, Palin said she likes to be energy secretary. She told CNN that if she were appointed to serve as energy secretary, she would totally eradicate the said position.

  • Bobby Brown: Wife Alicia Etheredge Suffers Seizures Following Bobbi Kristina’s Funeral

    Bobby Brown has had a terrible few days. As he prepared to say goodbye to daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown in a wake Friday and a funeral on Saturday, he was faced with not just grief, but the fighting between his family and Whitney Houston’s. On Saturday, his sister Leolah Brown caused a commotion during Bobbi Kristina’s funeral and was escorted outside.

    Shortly after Bobbi Kristina’s funeral, Bobby Brown had another scare. His wife, Alicia Etheredge, suffered seizures and was rushed to the hospital. Etheredge just gave birth to a baby girl a couple of weeks before Bobbi Kristina’s death.

    Sources say Bobby Brown’s wife was well enough to walk into the hospital herself, but that doesn’t lessen the fright that all who know and love her must have experienced.

    Bobby Brown reportedly called an ambulance when his wife suffered the seizures at an Atlanta hotel where family members were staying following Bobbi Kristina’s funeral. He is said to be by her side in the hospital.

    Hopefully life calms down for the Brown and Houston families. Both sides of Bobbi Kristina’s family have suffered greatly since she was discovered unconscious in her bathtub back on January 31.

    The Brown and Houston families will attend a private burial for Bobbi Kristina in New Jersey on Monday. She will be laid to rest next to her mom, Whitney Houston.

    Hopefully Bobby Brown will be able to leave Alicia Etheredge in order to attend the burial. Perhaps by then she will be well enough to travel and attend the burial, too.
