Morning Briefing
For June 19, 2014
The Redskins Get Their Trademark Yanked by Aggrieved White LiberalsThe Washington Redskins were just standing there looking all privileged and stuff on the back of American Indians. So they were targeted by a class of men who pee sitting down. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

In Washington today, the circle of jerks covering President Obama is more interested in scalping the Redskins than getting to the bottom of how 7 employees of the IRS could suddenly have their emails erased with no backups. So many of their spouses work for President Obama, they feel their chief duty is to protect their precious. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Members of Congress Should Support Marlin Stutzman
The leadership shake up in the wake of Eric Cantor’s defeat is maddening. Raul Labrador looks to be more of a protest vote than a serious challenge.
In the whip spot to replace McCarthy there are three candidates: Scalise, Peter Roskam, and Marlin Stutzman.
Roskam is pretty terrible. He has a 52% on Heritage’s scorecard. He’s not trusted by conservatives. And he is terrible on spending issues among others. The guy is just awful.
But a number of conservatives are supporting Roskam because Steve Scalise worked tireless behind the scenes to marginalize conservatives. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Jindal Smartly Follows The Winds On Common Core
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal followed through on previous public statements about his increasing dissatisfaction with the state’s implementation of the controversial Common Core standards and announced his desire to pull out of Partnership of Assessments for College and Career Readiness (PARCC) testing – a key feature of the educational “reform” program.
In doing so, Jindal signaled a complete reversal from just a few years ago, when Louisiana wholeheartedly signed on for the full and speedy implementation of the standards. At the time, Louisiana’s Common Core participation wasn’t considered overly controversial; if anything, it was ignored amid some far more high-profile educational reform efforts Jindal had pursued with the state legislature. Teacher tenure reform, rapid charter school and course choice expansion and educational vouchers were headline-grabbers, but Common Core was unknown until later. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Under ObamaCare Scheme, Union Bosses Win While Workers And Taxpayers Lose
The most recent example of a bad idea gone worse was illustrated last week when UNITE-HERE—a union representing 270,000 workers throughout the U.S. and Canada who work in the hotel, gaming, food service, and laundry industries— protested last week outside the U.S. Capitol where ‘dozens’ of Sodexo workers “demanded” the closing of an ObamaCare loophole that allows companies to reclassify workers to part-time status. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Nonnewaug High School in Woodbury, CT bans RedState!
54° 40' Or Fight! has the simultaneously flattering, and creepy, details: we’re going to address this in more detail later, but suffice it to say that some progressive goodthinker at the Nonnewaug High School system decided to block conservative sites – including this one! – while leaving liberal ones up and running. ‘Hate speech,’ don’t you know. Which is really awkward, given that the school is blocking the state Republican party while letting the state Democratic party through. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
The immediate dividends of Cantor’s defeat
Over at Talking Points Memo, their “senior congressional reporter,” a guy named Sahil Kapur, bemoans Eric Cantor’s loss. This has to be taken with a grain of salt as Kapur was one of the “journalists” who criticized Matt Drudge for reporting he’d paid Obamacare taxes. For the sake of argument, we’ll assume that Kapur knows more about Congress than he does about economics or tax law. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Scott Walker, Voter ID and The Virulent Racial Toxicity of The New Republic
There really are times when life imitates The New Republic. These are rarely pleasant or laudable times; but it does happen. A recent play in Brazil’s opening World Cup match vs. Croatia reminded me a lot of a recent article by Alec McGillis in TNR. I’ll describe each and you’ll immediately see the resemblance. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Bob Corker: Another Reason to Not Support David Perdue
Bob Corker wants a 12 cent per gallon increase in the gas tax. He does not want to eliminate the hybrid car subsidy that is causing the highway trust fund’s deficit. He just wants to raise taxes. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
