Morning Briefing
For January 10, 2014
1. The Single Biggest Thing You Can Do to Clean Up the GOP
If you have not heard, the National
Republican Senatorial Committee has attacked nationally syndicated
conservative radio host and best selling author Mark Levin.
They publicly attacked Mark Levin because the
Jim DeMint created Senate Conservatives Fund (“SCF”) gives out copies
of Mark Levin’s book. The NRSC alleges a quid pro quo relationship to
help drive up the popularity of Levin’s book. The book was published in
2009 before SCF was a significant force and had already become a best
seller before SCF gave out copies. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
2. Does the National Republican Senatorial Committee Turn a Blind Eye to Kiddie Porn?
Brad
Dayspring, McConnell point man at the NRSC Josh Holmes, and Brian
Walsh, a former NRSC staffer still on the payroll who writes op-eds
attacking the Senate Conservatives Fund, are all in photographs with
Ryan Loskarn. They are all good friends with him. One picture that had
been on Loskarn’s Facebook page was of a fire pit noting he and Brian
Walsh were hanging out together. Another is of him with Holmes and Walsh
at an event. Another is him having a beer with Dayspring. Media reports
out after Loskarn’s arrest allege he was to be in Brad Dayspring’s
upcoming wedding.
Yes,
it is absolutely ridiculous to connect the NRSC and its staffers to
Ryan Loskarn’s child pornography arrest. They just happen to be friends,
drinking buddies, and colleagues of his.
It
is just as ridiculous to accuse Mark Levin and the Senate Conservatives
Fund of a quid pro quo relationship when they happen to be allies in a
fight and also happen to be friends. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
3. Obama proposes education mandates his own education can’t meet
In
yet another cycle of what’s good for the government goose is not good
for you, President Obama’s Department of Education proposes rules for
private-sector colleges that his own education at Harvard Law would fail
to meet.
The
new leaner and meaner rules require that students graduate with less
than 12% debt-to-income ratio or debt-to-discretionary-income ratio
lower than 30%.
When
President Obama graduated from Harvard Law, he financed that, in part,
with more than $42,000 in loans. The price in 1990 was just $13,400.
Now, the tuition cost is more than 320% higher – or $44,000 per year.
Adjusting, that means that today, President Obama could graduate with
upwards of $134,000 in debt. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
