Morning Briefing
For May 19, 2014

The Rundown on the Georgia Runoff
Most political eyes will be focused on Georgia’s Republican primary on Tuesday. With Mitch McConnell a sure thing for re-election at this point (though see if Bevin can break 40%, which I think he can), Georgia is where the great unknown is.

In fact, there are only three things known about Georgia’s elections right now. One, the Democrats are not going to win the state in 2014. Look no further than DailyKos for the reason why. Two, David Perdue is going into the runoff. Three, turnout is going to be very low. . . . please click here for the rest of the post

People Read Blogs in Mississippi. NRSC Blames Chris McDaniel For Mississippi Literacy.
Thad Cochran is getting his butt kicked in Mississippi by conservative challenger Chris McDaniel. That has sent the NRSC and its friends into a tailspin and they are desperate to tar and feather Chris McDaniel.

Some freak in Mississippi has handed them their latest tool. By willfully ignoring the real timeline and facts, the NRSC wishes to drag Chris McDaniel into scandal and, they no doubt hope, down in the polls. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


It Is Time for Ted Cruz to Leave the National Republican Senatorial Committee
Ted Cruz is the Vice Chairman for Grassroots Outreach of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (“NRSC”). It is through that appointment that the NRSC hoped to patch up its differences with conservatives.

Instead, it is more and more clear the NRSC is both at war with those groups who support Ted Cruz and at war with those candidates most likely to assist Ted Cruz in the Senate. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


Was This a Coordinated Hit on Chris McDaniel?
The Cochran campaign, DC reporters with a close relationship to the NRSC, and the Mississippi press all worked very fast to tar and feather the McDaniel campaign.

I have to wonder if this was coordinated. I ask because the situation came to light due to a press release from the Madison, MS police department. But the Madison Police Department does not issue press releases with any regularity.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post


97 Days in 2 Years: Pat Roberts Rarely Goes to Kansas
“Senate records show Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., spent less than 100 days in his home state using official funds over the course of two years, an issue analysts say could inflame voters as he seeks re-election.” . . . please click here for the rest of the post


Vox.com’s Max Fisher: Obama’s Ukraine policy is a solid B+
One of the few bright spots in the perpetual darkness (can I say that anymore? or does this doom me to a reeducation camp) that has descended on America under the kleptocratic regime of Barack Obama is watching his defenders tie themselves into knots justifying each and every boneheaded move that he makes. Benghazi, Syria, Obamacare, the IRS, the VA have all produced great examples but Ukraine tends to be the location of the Q source for lefty journalists beclowning themselves. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


Michelle Obama and Eric Holder decry dangers to Sustainable Racism
Sustainable Racism, along with Cargo Cult Economics, are the philosophical mainstays of modern liberalism. What Sustainable Racism seeks to do is to keep fanning the flames of racial discord in order to provide jobs and political power for a handful of 1%, mostly very privileged blacks and Hispanics, by allowing them to act as Christ-like mediators between the average black and Latino and a system they revile as unjust. Rather than pursue that society where people are not judged by skin color, the advocates of Sustainable Racism insist that everyone is completely defined by their skin color. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


Was Brendan Eich removed to get closed source DRM into Firefox?
It’s quite a theory, and I’m not sure what to make of it, but via Instapundit I ran into the allegation that the real reason Brendan Eich was removed as the head of Mozilla wasn’t the homosexual “marriage” issue at all, but rather that he stood in the way of Hollywood-friendly restrictions called Digital Rights Managment (“DRM”) being added to the open source browser Firefox. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


This woman is going to hang for being Christian
Meriam Yahya Ibrahim Ishag, the pregnant 27-year old is the mother of a 20-month old boy and wife of American citizen Daniel Wani, has been sentenced to death by a semi-literate savage in the dystopic Third World craphole that is Sudan. Her crime: apostasy. She had the misfortune to be born of muslim father and Orthodox mother. Her father abandoned the family when she was a child and she was raised Christian. By sharia law, she was muslim from birth and the fact that she has never practiced Islam makes no difference. . . . please click here for the rest of the post
