Battlin' billionaires: Trump campaign clashes with Facebook CEO over border wall

On Tuesday Facebook CEO Mark
Zuckerberg criticized what he called "fearful voices" that want to build walls.
Although Zuckerberg, who made his comments at a Facebook conference of developers, did not name presidential candidate Donald Trump, his remarks did
not sit well with the GOP presidiential candidate's campaign.
On Wednesday, Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson said Zuckerberg lives so far outside reality that he fails to see the detrimental effect of illegal immigration on the lives of people who live along the U.S.-Mexico border.
"I think I'll take Mark Zuckerberg
seriously when he gives up all of his
private security, moves out of his posh neighborhood and comes live in a modest neighborhood near a border town,"Pierson said in an interview on CNBC.
"And then I'm sure his attitude would change."
While Trump hardly is the only
Republican candidate who has ever
pushed for tightened border security, USA
Today noted, the billionaire real estate mogul has made it practically a centerpiece of his campaign.

Zuckerberg has for years pressed for comprehensive immigration reform that would include a way for undocumented
immigrants to legalize their status.
"I hear fearful voices calling for building walls and distancing people they label as 'others,'" Zuckerberg said at the conference. "For blocking free expression,
for slowing immigration, reducing trade and, in some cases around the world, even cutting access to the Internet."
"It takes courage to choose hope over fear," Zuckerberg said. "People will always call you naive, but it's this hope and this optimism that's behind every important step forward."
CNBC asked Pierson whether the
depiction of Zuckerberg as a sheltered member of the elite wouldn't also apply to Trump - who has said he is worth billions.
"Yeah, but Donald Trump isn't the one that's saying we shouldn't build a wall, and we shouldn't protect everyone else,"
Pierson repliec. "Mark Zuckerberg talked about hope over fear. That doesn't save lives."

Floyd Mayweather Baby Mama Sues for $20 Mil ... He's a Despicable Liar

Floyd Mayweather could lose tens of millions of dollars from his big payday if his baby mama gets her way ... because she's just filed a lawsuit claiming he ruined her with lies to save his own ass. Josie Harris, who has 3 kids with Floyd, claims he lied through his teeth in an interview with Katie Couric just 2 weeks before the big fight ... when he claimed Josie was in a drug-fueled rage and he had to "restrain" her during their infamous 2010 domestic violence incident. Point of fact ... Floyd was convicted of domestic violence and spent two months in jail. Josie recounts her terror in the lawsuit, explaining how she and Floyd had broken up ... but he flew into a jealous rage that night, broke into her home and viciously attacked her while she was sleeping on her couch ... and her kids saw part of the beating. Harris says she is now labeled a drug addict thanks to Mayweather's lies -- and was embarrassed and humiliated on a global scale.   Her lawyer, Dan Friedl...

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

​Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.  The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security.  SMS-based 2FA has a  known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to  socially engineer  an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack  using algorithms  to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...

Are You Treating Your Kids Like Your Career?

And, we see this all the time. Hey,listen I've heard evidence of this phenomenon at the hairdresser, nail salon, at high school softball games, or at the grocery store. Mothers move in closer to each other and start to talk to one other very seriously and very competitively about their kids' achievements, successes, activities but certainly not about their disappointments, feelings, or emotional concerns. Nope, those topics are reserved for the night when those parents are alone with both the darkness of the night and their concerns. Now these are kids they are talking about, not careers. I'll tell you though that it sounds a whole lot like they are talking about jobs and job advancement. And, these kids who are their current careers, in my opinion, are at risk to become highly anxious and stressed as they struggle not to let their parents down. Don't kid yourself parents — your kids are desperately afraid of failing you. Want to figure out if your child has beco...
