The month of Freedom! For illegals, sure. But still. At least we’re finding some consistency on the left. And that’s something, right? As for me, I begin this month with my wife out of town for 3 days on business and the long days of keeping a two year old happy solo that come along with that. The house is moving along at a terrifyingly rapid clip — we stopped

Uterus Dialogues [Darleen Click]
Me: Since you’ve been in retirement, we haven’t spoken much. But I’m sure you must have some insight into the Hobby Lobby decision. Uterus: Me: Come on now. The sisterhood is knotting its Fallopian Tubes over this. Granted, most Vagina Warriors are prone to hysterics anytime any one even hints to them to let go of the little kids’ table – so do you think it is too optimistic to

“Trevor Loudon picks Leaders of the 2nd American Revolution”
Yours truly not included, but that’s just a temporary oversight. I mean, the guy’s a Kiwi and it’s not like he can find links to what I write just anywhere. So I forgive him. I think I’m going to have “outlaw” tattooed on my chest. Once I stop eating so much pasta salad and do a bit more cardio, that is. Message is important, sure. But you want it presentable,

So. Who’s ready for an Executive Order turning the US into the subsidizer of foreign nationals?
We’ll call them pre-citizens or some such until such time as they settle into Balkanized communities and DREAM their way into permanence. Because they are here out of love — though it’s worth pointing out that at least some of that love is transmitting itself in the form of diseases we haven’t seen here in a quite some time being shipped into our urban centers, probably by a long, healthy,

“6 Stupid Arguments About Hobby Lobby From Dumb Liberals”
Let me preface this by saying that, as with the 9-0 ruling on the Recess and Appointments Clauses, I’m not sure this is quite the victory we wish it would be, mostly because the Court didn’t really address the core first amendment principle of freedom of association. But when you know going in you’ll have 4 votes against and you don’t know if Anthony Kennedy ate bad clams or John

SCOTUS Day open thread!
Celebrate your lifeydoodleness! Or curse the Man! And his greedy capitalist cabal! Isn’t it great to live in a country where we know that, a couple times a year, one freaking Justice can, oftentimes with nothing more than obvious sophistry, essentially tell 300 million people how they have to live? Just like the Framers intended? God Bless America!

Common Core … making math as difficult as possible [Darleen Click]
Is it any wonder the Common Core testing is still on the level of national secrets? Well America, the Common Core-aligned standardized tests that Common Core supporters have zealously trumpeted as college-related and so dramatically superior to all previous standardized tests are finally starting to trickle out for public consumption. New York is one state that has released some Common Core tests. The tests for elementary school kids remain strictly

Professors shocked, SHOCKED to find out ObamaCare applies to them [Darleen Click]
Schadenfreude … After years of singing the praises of universal health care, college professors are now shocked at how badly it has turned out — for them. Adjunct professors are steamed at the way their employers are interpreting the Affordable Care Act’s employer mandate, which forces them to cover full-time but not part-time workers. Typical of liberals, they blame their employers instead of the job-killing law they supported. Starting Jan.

When ‘To Protect and To Serve’ is turned on its head [Darleen Click]
Radley Balko on how left-wing Massachusetts protects and empowers its warrior class from the taxpayers. As part of the American Civil Liberties Union’s recent report on police militarization, the Massachusetts chapter of the organization sent open records requests to SWAT teams across that state. It received an interesting response. As it turns out, a number of SWAT teams in the Bay State are operated by what are called law enforcement

Nancy Pelosi on Illegal alien kids: It’s not a crisis, but an opportunity! [Darleen Click]
“We are all Americans” Pelosi explained, “We are all Americans — north and south in this hemisphere,” and urged America to see this as not a crisis but an opportunity “to be helpful.” She also said she wished she could simply “take home” the thousands of children temporarily housed in the overburden facilities. According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency, in the past fiscal year more than 47,000
