Morning Briefing
For June 23, 2014

Corrupt Cochran Campaign Campaigns Corruptly
Win or lose on Tuesday, Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran will have forfeited any vestige of honor or integrity he still has and will have capped off a successful political career with a campaign built on distortions, misrepresentions, and outright lies. . . . please click here for the rest of the post

Voices in the Wilderness
As we arrive fully in the world Gertrude Himmelfarb warned us of — a world where our sexual orientation is chosen for us, but we can choose our own gender — there are fewer and fewer voices willing to be heard in the wilderness of secular insanity that envelopes us.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post


No combat pay for US advisors in Iraq
It is difficult to see how we help Iraqis “take the fight to the terrorists” if the men we send to do this will be so far removed from combat that they do not draw hazardous duty pay. In order to evaluate what is going on, at some point you have to see the situation for yourself.

This looks to be yet another of Obama’s ridiculous directives that are launched with great fanfare but turn out to be nothingburgers. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


IRS cut ties with Sonasoft almost immediately after Lois Lerner scandal broke
“The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) cancelled its longtime relationship with an email-storage contractor just weeks after ex-IRS official Lois Lerner’s computer crashed and shortly before other IRS officials’ computers allegedly crashed.”  . . . please click here for the rest of the post


A Mainline Primer (Explainer?) for the Media: Not All Presbyterians Are in the PCUSA
With the Presbyterian Church USA fully embracing its heretical temptations and rejecting Israel, I have read a number of articles that seem pretty ignorant of various denominations in the United States.

Most national reporters tend to not be religious and when having to write about Christian denominations in America they screw it up badly. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


Nearly 70% of Americans favor euthanasia
At first blush, the idea that a euthanasia should be allowed seems to follow a logic. If a person is suffering and wishes to end that suffering then who has the right to tell them no? It is their life, right? Only some troglodyte Bible thumper could possibly deny a person the simple mercy of ending their suffering. In this way it is no different than any other social innovation that has come down the pike over the past 60 or so years. It is a profound evil traveling under the guise of modernism and compassion. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


Dispelling the myths and lies about the illegal child immigration crisis
There’s a deluge of misinformation and bad “facts” flying around about the flood of unaccompanied minors—kids—flooding our southern border.  Let’s get some things straight, and dispel some of the untruths. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


Jen Psaki accuses Russia of #WarOnWomen
The state run Russian press has taken to poking fun at State Department spokescreature Jen Psaki. Psaki is probably best know for doing ridiculous things such as the juvenile #UnitedForUkraine hashtag campaign that substituted for an actual US policy.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post


David Brock and Journalism
David Brock is the guy who founded Media Matters for America. Not content to just take on (and declare victory against) Fox News, he has decided to launch a “journalism institute” to expose “the nexus of conservative power in Washington.” . . . please click here for the rest of the post
