Possible hijacking? Military radar data suggests a Malaysia Airlines jetliner missing for nearly a week was deliberately flown hundreds of miles off course, heightening suspicions of foul play among investigators, sources told Reuters on Friday. Analysis of the Malaysia data suggests the plane, with 239 people on board, diverted from its intended northeast route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and flew west instead, using airline flight corridors normally employed for

Update
Hi, all. Been feeling under the weather for the last few days — fluttering on my left side in the ribcage area and some pressure in the center of my chest — so this morning I decided to take the safe route and go to the ER, where I had my heart checked out. Happy to say that my heart looks very healthy, and that the problems I’ve been having

The Ascendent Matriarchy: Who you callin’ “Bossy”, boy? [Darleen Click]
I’m not outraged but plainly bored by another instance of Left-feminist supremacy masquerading as Grrrl Power! or confidence building or blah blah blah. And that the Girl Scouts have been co-opted by the Leftist march through institutions just sickens me. (I have very happy memories of years of hiking, camping, charity work, etc. Amazingly, not one field trip to Planned Parenthood or a craft project making earrings out of tampons.)

“ObamaCare’s Secret Mandate Exemption”
If by “secret,” WSJ means “everybody knew he was going to do it, and it’s now become inconceivable that this ‘law’ can in any way at all be construed as the one that passed Congress — and yet, who’s going to do anything about it, particularly when we and the rest of the GOP money men have TEA Party dullards to slay, crony interests to protect, and illegal immigrants to

Progress Texas Democrats bring the creepy to an anti-Abbott ad [Darleen Click]
Gregg Abbott has been a paraplegic for 30 years and uses a wheelchair. Exactly who were the soul-dead poltroons who conceived and approved photoshopping Abbot as standing? And not just standing, but towering over a small, melanin-enriched woman? Just so wrong. h/t Red State

Mitch McConnell to TEA Partiers: Bow before ZOD
You know you’re running with the conservative pack when you choose to bash the TEA Party in the New York Times. And you’re prepared to do anything in your power — with all the party machinery at your disposal — to make sure you hold on to your seat at the trough. Because if you ever did, you’ve long since stopped worrying about the wishes of the electorate, trading that

“Labor Force Participation Hits Record Low for Americans in Their 20s”
How’s that hopey-changey think workin’ out for ya’? The labor force participation rate in 2013 for Americans in their twenties hit the lowest level recorded since 1981, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics started releasing employment data on people in the full age bracket of 20 through 29. The labor force participation rate for people ages 20 through 24—which BLS has been tracking since 1948—hit a 42-year low in 2013.

“Judge Jeanine answers the question: Did Obama lie to get into the White House?”
Or maybe a better title would be “Judge Jeanine bracing for future IRS investigations into her entire life”. But from what I can tell about her, she seems to be someone who keeps her receipts neatly organized. So she’s got that going for her.
