Morning Briefing
For July 17, 2014
Ted Cruz is LeadingToday, in fact, Ted Cruz intends to force his Republican colleagues to put up or shut on on the border issue. They’re refusing to end President Obama’s “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” (“DACA”) program, which is a chief instigator of the present crisis. Instead, many of Cruz’s Republican colleagues, including his fellow Texas senator, John Cornyn, want to give the President more power and use your money to pay for lawyers for the illegals. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

It is almost tiresome at this point to address the topic of race and opposition to Obama. But with Eric Holder’s remarks earlier this week that a significant part of opposition to Obama and Holder was driven by “racial animus,” the President’s many apologists in the media have yet again taken up the cry. Someone named Dorothy Brown, who is a Critical Race Theory professor (as opposed to someone who does something useful for a living) was given a lengthy column at CNN to explain that it’s perfectly obvious that Holder was correct. See also this sprawling screed at The New Yorker which essentially says that the problem with America is that you can’t play the race card as often as it deserves to be played. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Obama official used office to illegally raise money for Obama
The legacy of the Obama administration will be that it managed to corrupt virtually every institution within the US government and it did so in a remarkably short period of time. If there is a silver lining to this cloud of stench it is that he serves as an object lesson in how fragile are the systems that comprise our federal government. The greatest damage he has done it turn the supposedly apolitical process of governance into a system to arrogate power and to punish anyone who disagrees. When the malefactors are caught, they shamelessly obstruct justice because they know the Attorney General of the United States is a thoroughly compromised man who is reduced to shouting racism when criticized. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Democrats love them some crony capitalism
There is great story about the British cavalry officer who was so dumb that even the horses started to notice. The same effect is happening in the Democrat party. Democrat politicians are so deeply involved in corporate welfare and crony capitalism that even the Democrat pundits are beginning to notice.
Right now the US Export-Import Bank is teetering on the razor’s edge of extinction. The bank, which supplies low interest loans to US businesses seeking to sell products overseas and sometimes to Mexican narco-cartels just to liven up the paperwork, is up for reauthorization. Absent such reauthorization the bank’s charter expires in September. The House Financial Service Committee Chairman, Jeb Hensarling, has said that he intends to kill the bank and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy agrees. (For more background on the Ex-Im Bank and the current attempt to throttle it, visit the RedState Ex-Im Bank archives.) . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Iron Dome, Missile Defense, and scientific ideologues
One of the reasons the current Hamas offensive has been such a colossal failure is because of the Israeli anti-missile system called Iron Dome. From the Washington Post, Iron Dome, Israel’s antimissile system, changes calculus of fight with Hamas . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
The Commodification of Men
Last week, author Susan Patton was on Fox and Friends with Steve Doocy and the resulting segment has become a source of some controversy not just among the usual feminist crowd but also among even some conservative professional women. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Victory: Pro-Life Senators Vote Down New Abortion-Pill Mandate
Senate Democrats attempt to gut religious liberty and “reverse” the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision on the abortion-pill mandate has been defeated.
Pro-abortion radicals reeling from the Supreme Court’s decision in Hobby Lobby quickly jumped to extreme measures to push through their failing abortion agenda, even willing to gut a more than 20-year-old religious liberty law that had been passed nearly unanimously by Congress.
This effort to reinstate the abortion-pill mandate has failed.
It’s important to remember that the original HHS Mandate, which forced pro-life business owners to violate their faith by paying for abortion pills, was a regulatory action issued under ObamaCare, not a law passed by those elected to represent the people. Yet, when the Left tried to pass the abortion-pill mandate through Congress, they couldn’t even muster the necessary votes to pass the pro-abortion Senate.
There is no question that forcing Americans to violate their faith is extreme. The American people don’t support it. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
