1. Control
Let me start today with a post well off the beaten path.
I’ve been
struggling lately, and I know some of you have because you’ve told me,
with controlling things not in my control. It can get very frustrating.
You know something has to give, but you can’t control what must.
Or, you know something is going to happen, but you cannot control the timing. You become impatient.
Whether
it is job or family or elections or something else, frustration abounds
because you either think you should be in control of something you are
not, or you want something to happen, but cannot control time.
I understand. I have struggled with this. Heck, I am struggling with this. I get it.
Let me tell you what I know to be true. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
2. Justin Berrier of Media Matters Claims Wendy Davis Isn’t Mental, Just a Liar
Yesterday,
I noted accurately that in 1996, Wendy Davis claimed to have suffered
ongoing damage to her mental health because a newspaper editorial
criticized her. She sued in court making that claim.
Never
fear liberals! Justin Berrier of Media Matters has rushed to Wendy
Davis’s defense. According to Media Matters, they admit Wendy Davis did
claim she suffered ongoing “damages to her mental health,” but she was
just making it up to get money from the people she was suing.
That’s
right. According to Media Matters, Wendy Davis claimed in a legal
pleading in a court of law that she suffered ongoing “damage to her
mental health,” but she was just making that up to get money.
So she’s crazy or a liar willing to lie in court to get money from someone who criticized her. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
3. The Republican Establishment Lost Virginia
At the urging of the Establishment, far too many national Republican donors declined to support Cuccinelli. He was outspent by nearly $15 million. You cannot win if you lack the resources to be heard. Because
many donors—unfortunately, listening to the DC consultants who talk
endlessly about the need to “win”—chose not to support his campaign,
Cuccinelli was forced to go dark in the DC media market the final two
weeks of the campaign. By
contrast, liberal billionaires nationally poured millions of dollars
into attacking him, and the GOP Establishment refused to do anything to
help.
When
Cuccinelli’s “moderate” Republican rival for the nomination, the
state’s former Lt. Governor, publicly attacked Cuccinelli and privately
urged donors not to support him, the DC Establishment said nothing. Had
a conservative done the same to a moderate Republican—taken his marbles
and gone home when he did not win the primary—the uproar would have
been deafening. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
4. The Unbearable Lightness of Being Sports Media
The
media is liberal. No one who is not paid by George Soros to say
otherwise disputes this any longer. But it is not enough to note that
the media is liberal; this is correct, but it is incomplete. They are
also lazy, and incompetent at their jobs. I cannot remember the last
time I read a news story about a legal case and wasn’t able to point out
several glaring errors that would have been obvious to any mid-grade
lawyer. Why do we have 18 billion stories about the same missing person
running at any given time when there are tons of people who go missing
every day? Because once some reporter has latched on to one of them, it
is easier for all the other lazy reporters to latch on to the
pre-existing story than to find their own. Reporters, as a class, exist
to make lawyers feel better about themselves. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
5. After Sticking U.S. With A Sick Health Care Law, Did Unions Just Get A Sweetheart Deal On ObamaCare?
Do
you remember all of the fuss that union bosses were making a couple of
months ago about ObamaCare destroying the ‘health and well being’ of
their members?
Well, as it turns out, Barack Obama may have covered his union buddies’ backs after all.
According
to the Washington Post’s Wonkblog, “the Obama administration is
signaling it intends to exempt some union plans from one of the law’s
substantial taxes.” . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
