Morning
Briefing
For
May 28, 2014
Good morning,
Well, the Morning Briefing certainly looks different this
morning. My computer had some "issues"
and would not give me the template I always work from. So you'll have to forgive me shaking things
up a bit this morning.
You're going to need to click either the linked text or the word
"link" to get through to the story.
But you guys know that anyway.
Here now are those things I think you'll want to pay attention to:
|
1. The
online world often gets whipped up into a frenzy that
never translates offline.
But if all you do is follow twitter, you probably thing some small matter
is a #REALLYBIGDEAL. It's not. (Link)
2. Why
hasn't our managing editor, Aaron Gardner, committed
mass murder. If you believe
the internet, he fits the pattern.
Except for that one thing. (Link)
3.
Believe it or not, John McCain has
a good proposal to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs. I bet Meghan McCain had nothing to do with
it. (Link)
4. The
President of Planned Parenthood thinks you should say
"yes" to life, but only if you make it out of the womb alive and,
probably, safely home from the hospital.
(Link)
5. So . .
. Detriot. It's kind of like our
own little third world country that we can tour without vaccinations
and passports. (Link)
6. The
Establishment's campaign strategy is pretty simple: sound
like a tea party activist.
Lie through your teeth if you have to.
Just stop the tea party. (Link)
8.
Breeanne Howe has another edition of the Vine out. The Vine is a great way to
stay up to date on pro-life news. (Link)
Before I get out of here, congrats to John Ratcliffe, who RedState
backed in Texas's 4th Congressional District.
Last night in Texas, Ratcliffe beat Congressman Ralph Hall in their
runoff. It is truly the passing of an era. With Congressman Hall's
departure there will be no more veterans of World War II in Congress.
It's also worth noting that every candidate Sen. Ted Cruz supported in Texas
won.
Okay my people. I'm going
back to bed now. I have the shamans
and the seance going on in the home office and hope to retrieve my Morning
Briefing template at some point today. With my luck, that means you guys will
decide you prefer this format instead.

Another Young Man Turns Violent
Another young man has turned to violence. Stabbing some and shooting
others, he wanted to exact revenge for some rejecting him.
In a "war on women" culture, some vocal voices have seized on this
as what happens to men questing for a fully masculine culture. In fact, nothing
could be further from the truth. . .

The Incompetence of Barack Obama: Outed CIA covert officer
edition
This weekend Obama made a completely unnecessary trip to Afghanistan
to "thank the troops." Given that Afghan President Hamid Karzai refused to meet
with him, one is left with the feeling that the trip was to divert attention
from the burgeoning VA scandal that has killed dozens, if not hundreds, of
veterans who were unwary enough to depend upon this administration for some
semblance of competence.
But the administration was given an additional chance to
demonstrated its utter incompetence. The White House outed the CIA's chief of
station in Kabul. . . . please click

The Professional Veterans and Sen. Richard Burr in cage
match
North Carolina Senator Richard Burr has set off a minor firestorm by
chastising the professional staff of several major Veterans Service
Organizations over their lack of outrage about Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric
Shinseki's grotesque mismanagement of that organization. . . . please click here for the rest of the post

Peter Beinart gaslights us on the attack on religion
Gaslighting: a form of psychological manipulation that occurs when
an abuser makes a victim doubt their own perceptions, memories, and sanity. . . . please click here for the rest of the post ?
Snakes On A Plane: Obama in Afghanistan edition
The sorry spectacle of Obama visiting the site of a war he chose
deliberately to lose, and a country that he is willing to turn over to
Islamofascist extremists, to visit troops for which he holds scarcely concealed
contempt is enough to gag a maggot on a gut truck. . . . please click here for the rest of the post ?
The Anti-Science Left Keeps On Keeping On
The left often calls conservatives "anti-science." This is simply an
demonstration of the psychological phenomenon of transference when a person
attributes their own feelings to another. A great example of this, also from the
left, is their insistence on accusing their opponents of racism while being
utterly racist themselves. It is the left that does not believe life begins at
conception. The left continually harangues against GMO crops which prevent
massive starvation. The left seems to think that electric cars are
environmentally sound despite the fact that electricity has to be generated and
the batteries used in these cars creates toxic by products. The left still buys
into Rachel Carlson's fradulent "Silent Spring" even though their campaign
against pesticides has killed millions of people via malaria. . . . please click here for the rest of

Thomas Piketty's book is declared Fake But Accurate
Last month the left was all abuzz about a new book written by a
French (I am not making this up) economics professor who attacked wealth
"inequality" as the root of all evil and prescribed confiscatory taxes on
individual wealth to ensure everyone gets poorer except, presumably French
economics professors and other plutocrats. . . . please click here for the rest of the post ?

The World Pierces In
In 1540, Hernando de Soto marched through Middle Georgia not far
from where this column originates. Just down river from where I am in Macon,
Georgia, de Soto performed the first baptism in North America on the banks of
the Ocmulgee River. That river cuts a lazy path through Macon and Middle
Georgia.
The Ocmulgee Indian natives, over time, migrated out of the area
under force from the new natives, the Americans. Those new natives lived a quiet
existence where rarely, like de Soto marching through, the outside world pierced
in. When Sherman marched through in the Civil War, one house in Macon suffered
damage from a stray cannonball.
Before Sherman arrived, Presbyterians built their church and
towering steeple, which remained the highest point in Macon until the Catholics
built their beautiful gingerbread house like church, St. Joseph's. The Catholics
laid early roots in the area. In 1871, five Sisters of Mercy started the Academy
of the Sacred Heart Jesus, a school to teach Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish
children. Their educational efforts preceded a public school system in the area.
The school the Sisters of Mercy founded changed names to Mount de Sales Academy
in honor of Saint Francis de Sales in 1876.
The world pierced in again in Middle Georgia at Mount de Sales
Academy last week. . . . please

Tea Partiers Can Be Idiots, But McDaniel Camp Not
Involved
Tea party folks in Mississippi are being rounded up for being
freaking idiots. My great regret is that we do not publicly flog people anymore
because these people deserve it.
But as much as the NRSC might hype this story, they will overlook
one big detail:
"Michael Guest, the district attorney for Madison and Rankin
counties, told Simmons that he doesn't believe anyone with the McDaniel campaign
is involved." . . . please click

Send In The Clowns: 84% of McDonald's Protesters Were Not
McDonald's Employees
On Wednesday, the Service Employees International Union, as part of
its four-year old plan to unionize the nation's fast-food workers, launched a
frontal assault on McDonald's corporate headquarters in Oakbrook, Illinois.
During the event, over 100 protesters, as well SEIU boss and
fast-food unionization architect Mary Kay Henry, were arrested. . . . please click here for the rest of

Will Children be Banned From Praying at Their Graduation?
If angry atheists have their way, that's exactly what will
happen.
The American Humanist Association, an angry atheist group that
peruses the country for a small town to attack in its attempt to eviscerate
faith from public life, has sued a Greenville, South Carolina school over a 5th
Grade graduation ceremony. . . . please click here for the rest of

Will John Cornyn Unite his Faction of the Party Behind GOP
Platform?
With some of the primaries behind us, many within the Republican
Party are calling for a unity effort to help win back the Senate in the
fall. Undoubtedly, we need to defeat
Harry Reid, the worst leader of the Senate in modern history. But we also need to unite behind the
Republican platform and not use that new GOP majority to promote Obama's lame
duck agenda. . . . please click here

Bipartisan Corruption in the Texas Legislature the Media Mostly
Ignores
Wallace Hall is a University of Texas Regent appointed by Gov. Rick
Perry. He is presently facing impeachment and possible jail time for uncovering
systematic corruption in the enrollment process of the University of Texas
system due to interference from members of the Texas legislature. The Speaker of
the Texas House is implicated. The Chairman of the House Appropriations
Committee has been forced to resign. A powerful state senator is in the
crosshairs. The heads of the University of Texas may be involved. And the media,
both in Texas and nationally, is largely silent. . . . please click here for the rest of the post

Obama's Speech at West Point: Lies, Deceptions and
Delusions
Barack Obama gave the commencement address at the United States
Military Academy at West Point. While the address was billed as his "foreign
policy vision" it was vintage Obama: banal, deceptive, self-serving, and
partisan to the very core. Sort of a metaphor for them man himself. . . . please click here for the rest of

The Caged Bird Sang to Me
I never met Maya Angelou. But I admired her from afar. Some people
are just worthy of praise, regardless of their positions, convictions, or
titles. We should not be so counter-cultural to the present culture and politics
that we as conservative are not willing to recognize that caged bird sang a
melody worth humming along to even when we didn't care for the words.
And she chose life. . .

The Democrats' Tactical Retreat
The Democrats have been signalling for a while now that they really
have no intention to truly fight, as a party, against the Republicans. Going
into the political season, they had two strategies they could have chosen from,
and they chose to play it safe. . .

Sudan: Torturing and Executing a Woman for Her Faith Is No Big
Deal
The Embassy of Sudan has release an official public statement that
torturing and executing a woman for her Christian faith isn't "violating human
rights."
Earlier this month a Sudanese judge sentenced Meriam Ibrahim to be
flogged and executed for her Christian faith.
She is currently on death row and just gave birth to an American
girl. Her son, an American toddler, is
also imprisoned with her. . . .

Leslie Rutledge Thinks Hiring Conservatives is
Discrimination
Leslie Rutledge has worked for the RNC and the NRCC. She has worked
for Mike Huckabee. She's a Republican. But a lot of conservative lawyers are
skittish about her being the Republican nominee for Attorney General in
Arkansas.
Rutledge has, five times, voted in Democratic primaries in Arkansas.
She's running against David Sterling, who never left Arkansas for the greener
pastures of the RNC, and who is a committed conservative. And that is where a
lot of conservatives have concerns with Rutledge.
Sterling recognizes the importance of having conservative attorneys
general around the nation. He wants to make sure the Arkansas AG's office is
well stocked with conservatives. But Rutledge has raised a red flag over having
an AG's office stocked with conservative attorneys. She thinks it would be
discrimination. Seriously. . . .

'She Gets Everything She Wants'
"She gets everything she wants," Jack Abramoff said in an email. He
was referring to Ann Copland who spent 29 years working for Thad Cochran,
working her way into the position of his Executive Assistant. An Abramoff
associate was complaining that Ms. Copland wanted to see Paul McCartney, Green
Day, and others. She was demanding. But she got everything she wanted because
she delivered Thad Cochran's support for tax payer dollars funneled to Abramoff
clients. . . . please click here for

Media: VA Health Care is a model for the United States
This week we have seen the Inspector General of the VA deliver a
devastating critique that lays direct blame for the death of some veterans on
the VA's practice of denying care to veterans for prolonged periods of time in
order to make their appointment wait-times look better. A whistleblower in Texas
equates the VA management with a crime family. Despite the avalanche of evidence
now tumbling down the figurative mountain to grim justice at the bottom, old
habits on the left die hard. Yet only two days ago a seeming moron named Suzanne
Gordon wrote an op-ed in the Boston Globe defending the VA. . . . please click here for the rest of the post

America is not a Dumping Ground
Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson testified yesterday
before the House Judiciary Committee on issues related to immigration and border
security. There is probably no
department through which Obama has pushed his lawlessness more than Homeland
Security, as he has completed shredded our immigration laws and erased our
borders. . . . please click here for the rest of the post

PatientCare: Patient-centered, market-driven healthcare
The verdict is in. Americans want full repeal of ObamaCare. We have
seen the future of government-run healthcare. It is a VA hospital where even our
nation's heroes learn the hard way that healthcare delayed is healthcare denied.
This is the future of ObamaCare and we must repeal every single word of it. . . . please click here for the rest of the post ?
Colorado's 4th CD Must Do Better Than State Sen. Scott
Renfroe
Colorado's 4th Congressional District covers most of the eastern
half of Colorado. It is a +12 Republican district. And frankly, it deserves
better than State Senator Scott Renfroe. While there are a variety of issues
with Renfroe, the largest issue for those in the rural farm land that makes up
the district is the connections to New Frontier Bank [NFB] and its failure in
2009. . . . please click here for
