Jim Geraghty breaks out some timely movie references (yup, Jeff immediately seized upon the Die Hard line, if only as a way to remember fondly the glory days of a moribund franchise that, by the next installment, will have John McClain fighting against environmental polluters) and beats the Obamaphile European elites and the true believers whom they shepherded along with them about the head and neck, while at the same

“JW Obtains Records Detailing Obama Administration’s Warrantless Collection of Citizens’ Personal Financial Data”
Big Brother is watching you, even while on a 100 million dollar vacation that will allow him to have photos of himself taken dominating an elephant. Which is something several of my graduate school English Professors would have insisted played as a none-too-subtle political statement. Judicial Watch: Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained records from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) revealing that the agency has spent millions

“The story of LA teachers indoctrinating kids on ObamaCare goes national”
Uh oh. Somebody at the Department of Keep the Rubes from Hearing About How it is We’re Abusing Our Powers is going to get pinkslipped over this one! Andrew Malcolm, IBD: […] ObamaCare implementation is lagging with only 92 days left until the Democrat’s expensive new plan takes effect. Millions of people are having second or third thoughts as they get new health insurance bills with steeply hiked rates, as employers

July fundraiser begins today. Let’s call this one “the Independence fundraiser” [sticky; new posts below]

I get emails, redux redux
This time, from a flak of Jared Polis, an openly gay Colorado Congressman. She writes: Dear Jeff I just wanted to make sure that you saw the email below that Jared wrote when the Supreme Court decision came down this week.

It was never about “homophobia” or “sexism” or “racism” … [Darleen Click]
It is about Leftism, and once a good member of the cult, you can do anything … Alec Baldwin just got a “Get Out of Homophobia Jail Free” card from the people at GLAAD … because they don’t have the balls to go after a self-proclaimed Hollywood liberal. After Baldwin essentially called for the gay-bashing of a Daily Mail reporter … the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation — the

That didn’t take long: Same-sex “marriage” murders friendship [Darleen Click]
Unfuckingbelievable dicentra BTW the purpose of pushing SSM is not to be fair to the historically disadvantaged: it’s to provide a pretext to engage in the actions listed above. The Left wants us God-botherers discredited and humiliated and as silent as the tomb. Pushing SSM is about the niftiest way to do that. Ernst‘s response Well, that, and to finish the job of atomizing the individual by eradicating what remains

Health issues
Sorry for the lack of posting. I’m dealing with some health issues that are best served by avoiding a lot of polemic. The agita, it’s killing me. I hope to see some improvement soon. With some rest and some distance. If sudden death doesn’t get me first.
