Morning Briefing
For July 8, 2014

It Remains a Political Stunt
On last night’s Crossfire, Stephanie Cutter, though it pained her, was forced to agree with me that the House of Representatives suing President Obama is a waste of taxpayer money and a political stunt.

The White House referred reporters to my post yesterday. Rep. Steve Israel, Chairman of the DCCC, sent out a statement also citing my post. When the Democrats start agreeing with me, it is time to re-evaluate my position.

I have done so. I am pleased to say my position has bi-partisan support. Last night, on Mark Levin’s radio show, both Levin and Senator Ted Cruz agreed that the House of Representatives should use its Article One powers under the constitution. . . . please click here for the rest of the post

The Battle of Murrieta
The well-oiled machinery of citizenship-destroying government was in the process of making a regularly-scheduled delivery of illegal aliens to the town of Murrieta, California last week when a group of unhappy local residents turned up, and engaged in what our friends on the Left used to describe as the essence of patriotism: they staged a protest.  They prevented several busloads of illegals from entering the designated housing facility, obliging said buses to re-route and drop their payload in someone else’s community. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


The NRSC May Have Improperly Funded Third Party Ads in Mississippi
Serious allegations are cropping up against the National Republican Senatorial Committee. The NRSC paid an Alexandria, VA company $13,000.00 for media production and $69,000 for media on June 20, 2014. On the same day that same company placed media buys for “All Citizens of Mississippi,” a campaign group that has failed to file any documentation with the FEC other than its statement of organization.

Here’s the problem. No one can seem to find any evidence that any ads ran in Mississippi after June 20th paid for an authorized by the National Republican Senatorial Committee. In fact, Rick Shaftan, a political consultant, has searched for NRSC ads and cannot find them. . . . please click here for the rest of the post

Meet the Huffington Post’s ‘Senior Political Economy Reporter’, Zach Carter
One of the complaints I have had for a very long time, magnified during my time on television, is the lack of depth or historic knowledge of many reporters in the circle of jerks that makes up the national press corps.

For many of those who are around my age, history began for them with George Chimpy McBushHitler Halliburton stealing an election in 2000 with the help of five thieves dressed in black on the Supreme Court. For those younger than me, history began when they had their first thigh sweats and nocturnal emissions while dreaming of hope and change in 2008.

They lack historic curiosity, run with a pack of likeminded liberals who shun the whole idea of understanding conservatives, and are convinced that they must save the world, which is divided between victim and victimizer. All their story telling boils down to that casting and nuance is their enemy. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


The Latest in the Hillary Clinton Fantasy Porn Genre: The Neo-Cons Are Coming
This crap is going to be insufferable over the next few years. A whole new genre of political writing has started — the Hillary Clinton fantasy porn genre.

In the latest, brought to us by Jacob Heilbrunn, the neoconservatives are going to come out for Hillary Clinton. Seriously.

Much of it is predicated on a Rand Paul nomination for the GOP, which is not exactly likely given the GOP’s pattern of nominations. But even so, the odds of such a shift would be small. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


Will The Real Bob Barr Stand Up?
Two days ago, in response to a question from D. A. King, the president of the Dustin Inman Society, former congressman, Libertarian presidential candidate, and current Republican congressional candidate Bob Barr said he would work to pass federal legislation that mandated the use of E-Verify for all employers nationwide. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


The Vine
Many people are apprehensive to compare abortion to the Holocaust. It’s understandable in a time when comparisons to Hitler are thrown about with an ease that is cause for concern. The Holocaust is one of the darkest times in our human history, any comparisons to it or the people involved should not be made lightly. It is, in fact, such a horrific event that some refuse to believe it even happened. Could people possibly commit such evils? And why would so many sit on the sidelines and do nothing? 11 million people were lost in the Holocaust. Today, over 50 million lives have been lost in abortion. Yet, while this evil is committed, many sit on the sidelines and many more refuse to call it what it is: It is our Holocaust. . . . please click here for the rest of the post


The Vine
Planned Parenthood targeting teenagers is not news for anyone that keeps up with the agenda of the abortion giant. As The Vine has covered previously, Planned Parenthood seeks access to schools to begin their “education” as early as Kindergarten; with the eventual goal of being there for the inevitable abortions they’ve convinced children they need. What exactly they say to students has been a bit of a mystery. We thought we could reasonably guess until Live Action released their latest undercover operation, which is nothing less than shocking. . . . please click here for the rest of the post
