Smoking guns Intercepted phone calls purportedly between Russian military intelligence officers and members of a pro-Russian separatist group that appear to capture the moment the rebels realized the plane they shot down was a civilian passenger plane could be the smoking gun that helps prove Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was downed Ukraine by the insurgents. The tapes were released by SBU, Ukraine’s security agency, and transcript was published in the

on the horizon
Just a quick note here to let you know that, thanks to “unpredictably good weather,” we are being asked to close on the house we’ve been building two and a half months prior to the date we thought we’d be closing. And because the builder contract contains language that requires us to close upon completion, regardless of what dates we were quoted and had negotiated up front (and even had

End game: the left, illegal immigration, and the ongoing coup
Progressives have always detested the founding and have long embraced the self-serving assumption (insofar as it gives them the rationale for counter-revolutionary impulses) that the US is an illegitimate, colonialist nation built on stolen land and stolen labor. And Obama, steeped in this doctrinaire academic leftist cant, was nurtured and molded and in many ways created — as the moderate “pragmatist” and “post-racial” President — to be the left’s trojan

“Iowa Governor: I Do Not Want To House Immigrant Children In My State”
Another nativist and white supremacist who hates brown people. Hopefully the good people of Iowa will throw this bigot out of office come next election. And maybe even replace him with a child from, say, Guatemala. As a show of cosmopolitanism! Failure you to do so, let me remind you, will brand you Iowans as backwood corn-fed country hicks. And that’s a helluva lot worse than having to wait extra

“Federal debt to reach 106% of U.S. economy in 2039, CBO says”
And that’s just public share of the debt. Meh. Don’t sweat it. If Paul Krugman is still alive in 23-years, he’s got one of them however-many-trillion-dollar-platinum coins he can lend us to pay off our debts and keep the bread and circuses going. And even if he’s long gone by then, God forbid, the government will have taken the thing from him as part of its compassionate estate tax income

From the department of “you don’t say”….
Erick Erickson, “CONFIRMED: Senate Republican Leaders Paid for Attacks Against Conservatives:” I can confirm that the attack ads in Mississippi run by “All Citizens for Mississippi” were funded by Senate Republicans, including Senators Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Rob Portman, Bob Corker, and Roy Blunt. It appears our Senate Republican leaders are willing to risk losing a Senate majority so long as they can get their own re-elected. Yes folks, it

Today’s dispiriting look into a decaying liberal culture
Levin played this last evening on his show — and his response is not to be missed — but I’ll share it with you here, even if you’ve heard it before, so that you understand why today I just feel utterly depressed and dispirited.
