Morning Briefing
For June 5, 2014
Not All Soldiers Are EqualThe left’s contention is that conservatives would prefer if we left an American soldier to rot in Afghanistan. No one is arguing that, that I know of. What we are arguing is that the President should not have traded five members of the Taliban for one American soldier who, it appears, left base without permission in search of the Taliban.

Conventional wisdom is descending on the McDaniel vs. Cochran run-off that was kicked off last night when neither candidate pulled in over 50% of the votes in the Mississippi primary.
The wisdom goes something like this: Cochran is a safe bet with high name ID in Mississippi and therefore will be able to spend his energy and resources fighting back against a lesser known Democrat in a safely red state.
McDaniel on the other hand would have to use his resources at least in part to let people know who he is and convince them (especially independents) to cast their vote for him. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

Pat Leahey and Claire McCaskill are running like scalded dogs from their emphatic cheerleading for Obama on the deserter-for-terrorist swap. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

Obama State Department Following Shariah Law Over U.S. Law in Denying Meriam’s Kids’ Citizenship?
The Obama Administration’s State Department has been dragging its heels, refusing to acknowledge that the children of the woman on death row in Sudan for her Christian faith are U.S. citizens.
Those two young American children – including a newborn infant – are imprisoned with their mother, Meriam Ibrahim. Their human rights are being violated on a daily basis, and the State Department’s response has been abysmal. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
