Washington Post…Don’t count out John Boehner, By Jonathan Bernstein
July 26–Here’s what you need to know about the budget and debt limit showdown that may or may not shut down (or even default) the government this fall. For all the talk about how John Boehner is losing control over his caucus, he has been here before. And so far — again and again — he’s managed to avoid a replay of the 1995-1996 shutdown fiasco. Remember, Boehner was there in the 1990s when Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole went through their fight with Bill Clinton. He saw Gingrich’s defeat, and its... read more

Redstate…Shut Down ObamaCare, Not Government, By Sen. Marco Rubio
July 29th, 2013–I didn’t come to Washington to shut down the federal government; I came to help bring it back to its proper role. This role should create an environment where America is the easiest and best place in the world to create better paying jobs by starting a business or growing an existing one. One way to do that is by ending failed programs like ObamaCare that hurt our people, waste their money and scare businesses away from opening... read more

The College Fix… College Republicans deemed security threat, refused entrance to Obama's speech
By Christopher White - July 25, 2013 - WARRENSBURG – Six College Republicans were dubbed a security threat and refused admittance to President Barack Obama’s speech at the University of Central Missouri on Wednesday. Despite the fact that the students had tickets to the event, security personnel turned them away from to the recreation center where Obama gave a speech on economic policy, telling the group it wasn’t about their politics but the president’s safety, State Treasurer of the... read more

Redstate… The Ephialtes Establishment in the Republican Party, By Erick Erickson
July 26th, 2013 - I can see how the GOP loses in November of 2014. The establishment and base have moved so far apart the base is about ready to go third party or sit at home. If the GOP does not make a stand against Obamacare, they will not see the energy they need to effectively compete in 2014. Let me explain what is happening and what will happen. Karl Rove’s Crossroads group commissioned a poll by North Star Opinion Research. The poll... read more

Investors.com… SNAP Shot: Two Food Stamp Recipients Per Job Created
07/26/2013 - Welfare: SNAP, the U.S. food stamp program, has become a conduit for redistributing wealth and fundamentally transforming America, as welfare recipients now send food overseas and the White House markets to illegals. While the administration laments the distraction of "phony" scandals like Benghazi and Fast and Furious that leave real Americans dead, it trots out phony statistics about how well the economy is doing. "And what is absolutely true is that we have... read more

Human Events… Unsung Black People, By Ann Coulter
7/24/2013 - It must be hard for young black males to always be viewed as criminals by people who notice crime statistics. We’ve jawboned that sad story for 40 years. Last week, President Obama ran it around the block again in another speech about himself in reaction to the George Zimmerman verdict. Let’s give that beloved chestnut a rest for a day and consider another way blacks have it harder than whites. Only black people are expected to... read more

Hannity.com… Phony scandals, By Sean Hannity
July 25, 2013 - Barack Obama and Jay Carney are desperately trying to change the narrative. Over the last few days, we've seen this phrase repeated over and over again: “Phony scandals.” I suppose the administration believes that if they say it enough, the media will pick up on it and repeat it, and eventually low-information voters will believe it to be true. Though, this assumes that the media is even covering these ongoing to scandals to begin with. As the Media Research Center has pointed out... read more

Townhall… Vouchers: My Personal Case; A Must Read!!
Larry Elder - Jul 25, 2013 - "I think you should check out the APEX program," my high school counselor Mrs. Workman suggested. APEX stood for Area Program Enrichment Exchange, and involved several L.A. area high schools, including Fairfax High. Intended for "advanced" students, the program allowed them to take courses not offered at their home school. In my case, I had exhausted all of the Spanish courses at Crenshaw High, the predominately... read more

U.S. News…Where Obama Fails, GOP Governors Find Solutions, By Peter Roff
July 23, 2013–Almost half the jobs created during the Obama recovery have been created in Texas. Which perhaps means it should be called the Obama-Perry recovery. Or the Perry-Obama recovery – it's not clear who should get top billing, though outgoing Texas Gov. Rick Perry certainly has pushed a better pro-growth agenda than the president. In fact, while the "blue states" are running up debt and flirting with bankruptcy, the "red states" continue to take the lead in cutting taxes, streamlining ... read more

Redstate…Will Senate Republicans Surrender the Fight? By Erick Erickson
July 24th, 2013–Yesterday, when asked directly about Republicans shutting down the government over Obamacare, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell sounded less than committed to the endeavor. This is not a hypothetical question. Senator Mike Lee has issued a letter saying he will not pass a continuing resolution that funds Obamacare. He has been joined by fifteen Republican Senators. Unfortunately, I can confirm from multiple. ... read more

AFRICOM commander: We knew almost immediately Benghazi was a terrorist attack
By Ed Morrissey - July 23, 2013 - A public statement this weekend about the night of the Benghazi attack from former AFRICOM commander General Carter Ham is making the rounds, thanks to some belated attention from Fox News, but it’s more curious than revelatory. Now retired, General Ham spoke at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado and addressed his recollections of the consulate sacking and the American response. In Washington for meetings at the time, Ham told the audience that... read more

Best of Cain… Ethanol mandates driving spike in gas prices, By Herman Cain
Consequences. Have you noticed that gas prices are soaring again? The media and the left will follow their usual formula of blaming greedy big oil or their other typical talking points, but David Lutz, head of ETF trading at Stifel, Nicolaus says it’s yet another case of a government mandate resulting in unanticipated consequences. "As a result of the 2005 Clean Air Act, refiners need to blend a certain amount of ethanol into gasoline every year, and... read more

Detroit: The Legacy of the New Democrat Party, by Michael Schaus
Jul 22, 2013 - Detroit has filed for Bankruptcy. Among the opposition’s arguments against an organized restructuring of the city’s debt, are constitutional worries, pension concerns, and President Barack Obama’s reputation. (Or, “street cred” if you prefer.) A Michigan judge, in a stunning display of impartiality and balance, said the bankruptcy should be withdrawn in part because it failed to honor “the (United States) president, who took (Detroit’s auto companies) out of bankruptcy.” I’ll give you a moment... read more

Human Events… Farmers blast EPA for attempting to release their personal information
By John Hayward - 7/22/2013 - Bob Stallman, president of the American Farm Bureau, wrote a fiery editorial for the AFB’s August publication in which he castigates the Environmental Protection Agency for attempting to release private information it had collected about farmers – a scandal which attracted the attention of Congress last month. The Environmental Protection Agency recently was planning to publicly release personal information about... read more

Redstate…Sprechen Sie “Green Energy”? ¡No Más! Throw another shrimp on the parabolic solar reflector, mate. By Steve Maley
July 18th, 2013–As President Obama doubles down on his green energy initiative, maybe it’s time to look around the world and see how the foray into the future of rainbows and unicorn farts is working out for our more progressive and forward-thinking allies. We’ll visit Spain, Germany and Australia and see how their campaigns to replace fossil fuels and nuclear energy in favor ... read more

Redstate…Republicans Surrender, By Erick Erickson
July 17th, 2013–Senate Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell, have given up the filibuster for executive nominations. Under a deal struck, the Democrats will not deploy the nuclear option, but the Republicans will let the President fill a number of positions the GOP has been blocking. Among the positions will be the ever important National Labor Relations Board, which has pursued a disastrous anti-free market agenda. As Senator Ted Cruz noted ... read more

Redstate… House Conservatives Beware the New Whipping Strategy
Preemptively whipping general principles to get past conservatives and pass Democrat bills - By Daniel Horowitz - July 17th, 2013 - Over the past few years, the number of conservatives in the House has grown exponentially. Well, at least to the extent that you can’t count them on your fingers. Unfortunately, House conservatives are about to become a victim of their own successes if they fail to change course. In a sane world, Republicans would have more leverage than the Democrats over the... read more

PJ Media… ‘No Labels’ Organization Attracts a ‘Gang of 81′ Members in the Spirit of Bipartisanship to Eliminate Government Waste, By Myra Adams
Yesterday in a park across from the Capitol, I witnessed an event that signaled real hope and change in Washington and it had nothing to do with President Obama’s famous/infamous 2008 campaign slogan. Standing on a stage in the scorching sun, the heat index was 100 degrees of bipartisanship, as members of the House and Senate... read more

Net Right Daily… The heat is on coal electric plants from EPA, By Robert Romano
As the summer heat wave rolls on, electric utilities in localities across the country are asking customers to curb usage to avert brownouts. With a growing population in the 21st Century, increased demand for electricity is a certainty, particularly in the summer months. That means more power plants will be needed here in the future. Instead, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations are threatening to shut down about 285 coal-fired power plants, says a recent analysis from an industry... read more

The Heritage Foundation… Obamacare, Simplified
07/19/2013 - With open enrollment in Obamacare’s exchanges set to start in fewer than three months, the law’s supporters are attempting to change the subject from Obamacare’s many delays and glitches. Instead, they're mounting a campaign to sell the unpopular measure to the public. President Obama yesterday gave a speech on Obamacare, trying to justify the fact that premiums continue to rise, violating his 2008 campaign promise to lower them by $2,500 per family per year. The Kaiser... read more

Breitbart…Daily Beast: “There’s No Such thing as Black-on-Black Crime’, by Ben Shapiro
16 Jul 2013 On Monday, in response to my piece on 17-year-old Darryl Green of Chicago, who was found shot to death after refusing to join a gang at school, Jamelle Bouie of The Daily Beast claimed that “black-on-black crime” is a myth. “There’s no such thing as ‘black-on-black’ crime. Yes, from 1976 to 2005, 94 percent of black victims were killed by black offenders, but that racial exclusivity was also true for white victims of violent crime—86 percent were killed by white offenders. Indeed, for the large ... read more

Redstate…There Are No Indispensable Men, By Erick Erickson
July 16th, 2013 There are no indispensable men, but go to Washington and everyone treats everyone else as indispensable. Mitch McConnell and John Boehner have been in the United States Congress since 1985. In that time the national debt has grown from $1,823,103,000,000.00 to $16,066,241,407,385.89. In that time the GOP went from being the part of small government to the party of slightly smaller than the Democrats. No Child Left ... read more

Heritage Foundation… Morning Bell: Even Unions Are Turning on Obamacare
Amy Payne and Chris Jacobs - July 16, 2013 - It’s not every day that union bosses sound like policy experts at The Heritage Foundation. But the beginning of the Obamacare letter from the heads of three major unions—the Teamsters, the United Food and Commercial Workers, and UNITE-HERE—to Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is eerily similar to our experts’ writings. The unions, of course, were heavy supporters of Obamacare, but even they can’t... read more

Redstate… An Ecumenical Hope Post Zimmerman Trial, By Erick Erickson
July 15th, 2013 - The death of Trayvon Martin and the Zimmerman trial show there are deep wounds and grievances in this country and too many people who profit from fanning the flames. Too many in the white community see violence in the black community and think, “That’s their problem. Blacks killing blacks, we’ll let them figure it out.” But it is not their problem. It is all of our problem. No one wants to be a victim of crime. Besides, much of the crime is not... read more

Townhall Finance…Question of the Week: Will Obamacare Collapse? By Daniel J. Mitchell
Jul 15, 2013–We have a very interesting question from a reader in Nebraska. Is Obamacare such a cluster-you-know-what that the law will self-destruct? Well, I’ve already explained why I’m optimistic about the possibility of turning Obamacare lemons into free-market lemonade. Simply stated, the law took a healthcare system that already was a mess because of government intervention and subsidies and it doubled down on that misguided approach! And since it’s highly unlikely that more government is ... read more

Redstate…Mr. President, Can We Please Move On? By Erick Erickson
July 15th, 2013–I have said and will say again — the death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. A jury of six in Florida has determined it was not criminal, but George Zimmerman will forever be the man who killed a 17 year old. No one can be happy about what happened other than, for Zimmerman and his family, that a jury believed him. Now the NAACP and others are calling for Attorney General Eric Holder to file charges against George Zimmerman. Never ... read more

HotAir.com… Coal plants already announcing shutdowns ahead of Obama admin’s regulations
By Erika Johnsen - July 11, 2013 - That’s really the goal, of course, of the Obama administrations incoming regulations. The hardcore eco-radicals will openly admit that, yes, a “war on coal” is precisely what’s needed to accomplish their goals, and that they do want to forcibly remove the coal industry from America’s (and someday, the world’s) energy scheme; but the Obama administration will deny the “war on coal” charge all day long, insisting that, why no, what we really want is just to... read more

Not guilty beyond reasonable doubt… By Patrick J. Buchanan
7/12/2013 - Editor’s note: Zimmerman pronounced Not Guilty on July 13, 2013 - That the prosecution in the Zimmerman trial asked the judge to allow a verdict of “third-degree murder” — i.e., child abuse, since Trayvon Martin was 17 — testifies to the prosecution’s failure and panic. For George Zimmerman’s defense has proven, beyond a reasonable doubt, that he shot Trayvon Martin not out of malice, rage or hate — but in a desperate act... read more

Redstate… A Guide to Wednesday’s Immigration Conference Meeting, By Daniel Horowitz
July 9th, 2013 - On Wednesday, House Republicans will finally confront leadership on the issue of immigration. In reality, the issue is not too complicated. There is an enormous bifurcation between the public and the political class over the issue of amnesty. Following passage of the amnesty bill in the Senate, the political class in both parties thinks this is the most pressing issue for the House to consider before the August recess. Senate GOP leadership is working overtime to beg House members to... read more

Columbus Dispatch… The imperial president; Obama’s unilateral delay undermines the rule of law
July 10, 2013 - With his delay of the employer-mandate portion of the Affordable Care Act last week, President Barack Obama once again thumbed his nose at the American system of checks and balances by doing an end-run around Congress and unilaterally decreeing a major change to a law. In announcing the change via a Treasury Department blog post as Washington prepared for the July 4 holiday, Obama made another move toward “creating an imperial presidency,” in the words of one noted... read more

Redstate… Senator Ted Cruz Gets It. Will Others? By Erick Erickson
July 11th, 2013 - Senator Ted Cruz has come out forcefully today against half measures on Obamacare. Instead he wants the GOP to unite behind completely defunding the law. As the Senator noted: Delaying only one aspect of this tangled mess leaves Americans holding the tab for an irreparably broken law they do not support. Moreover, it leaves in motion many of the most egregious parts of the law, ensuring they will take root in just a few short months... read more

Political Outcast…Gun Deaths: Is this Chicago or Cairo? by Common Constitutionalist
July 9, 2013 – Despite being seemingly bumped from the front pages, gun control is alive and well. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband showed up in New Hampshire last week to promote their anti-gun agenda. It appears as if Mayor Bloomberg is fronting the money for this nationwide tour. Big shocker. Since the Newtown shooting, it seems there haven’t been any mass murders. "Gun violence" in America seems to have temporarily subsided. We haven't heard of any shootings in months. Could that really be or... read more

Human Events…Zimmerman trial is this year’s Duke LaCrosse case, By Ann Coulter
7/10/2013 – This week, instead of attacking a Hispanic senator, Marco Rubio, I will defend a Hispanic citizen, George Zimmerman, on trial for the murder of Trayvon Martin. (Zimmerman would make a better senator.) It’s becoming painfully obvious why no charges were brought against Zimmerman in this case — until Al Sharpton got involved. All the eyewitness accounts, testimony, ballistics and forensics keep backing up Zimmerman. We should... read more

Obama Commits to Signing UN Arms Trade Treaty While Congress at Summer Recess
by Dave Jolly - July 10, 2013 - The number one goal of the United Nations is to become the political entity that rules all nations or in other words, the one world government. To accomplish that goal, they have to continue to exert their authority and power over individual countries and they have been quite successful at doing this in recent years. One of the key pieces of international law that needs to be in place before the UN can take over the world is to control all weapons, including... read more

Redstate… Reality Check, By Erick Erickson
July 11th, 2013 - Two nights ago I posted my thoughts on being on radio. I followed it up on radio yesterday afternoon. In both, I made this observation: No one likes people who talk politics all the time. I’ve spent an entire segment once on the fine art of browning onions in butter. And you know what? It’s been a widely requested segment of my show for repeat airings. People care about more than... read more

No Rest for the Working Class, By Brett Bogus
Jul 10, 2013 - One of the interesting things I find about any given week is the news media's obsession with unemployment figures that come out on Thursdays. If the number is lower, then we hear proclamations about a recovery and how well everything is progressing. If the number is higher or the same, we hear about how it could be worse or about how there was some mitigating circumstance and to wait for the better number the next week. While first time unemployment claims are important... read more

Townhall Finance… Chevy Volt Heads for Fiery Crash, By John Ransom
Jul 08, 2013 - The good news for GM these days is that no one has been consumed in a fiery death due to engine compartment fires since the Chevy Volt was discovered to spontaneous combust after accidents shortly after production began. The bad news for the company is that while Chevy Volt sales in June set a record, prior to June their sales for 2013 sucked despite general auto sales setting post-crash records. “With signs that sales of its Chevrolet... read more

Minutemen News…The Parental Rights Amendment: Transfers Authority Over Your Children to Federal Government
8 July 2013–If politicians introduced a bill mandating the slaughter of all human babies under the age of two years; but called it, “The Little Babies Protection Act,” establishment conservatives and unthinking people all over the Country would be clamoring for its passage. We have become a shallow and easily deceived people. If it sounds good on the surface, we are all for... read more

Heritage Foundation…Protecting Educational Freedom This Independence Day: Cracks in the Common Core, By Lindsey Burke
July 4, 2013–Just in time for Independence Day, the foundations of the Common Core initiative are showing some cracks. Common Core is an effort to establish national standards and tests to define what every child in public school will learn. It has been heavily incentivized by the Obama Administration and is an unprecedented federal... read more

A dying senior citizen tells it like it is... Worth the minutes to read
Editor’s note: I typically pay little attention to forwarded emails like this, but it came from a trusted source and it was specific to CNO and one other individual, so I checked it out. No factfinder site commented and it has appeared on several blogs, so here it goes… This is well written! It will be well worth the two minutes it requires to read this. It is quite impressive. You can be Republican, Democrat, Liberal, Conservative, Independent or Libertarian and I bet this will hit a nerve. Our country is in real trouble... read more

Politichicks… Tea Party Terrorists, by Carolyn Elkins
July 6, 2013 - Rasmussen recently conducted a new telephone survey , which included 1,000 likely voters. The survey asked questions ranging from nuclear weapons, to who is considered the nation’s top terrorist threat. Twenty-six percent of those who approve of Obama’s performance believe that the Tea Party is the biggest terror threat to the US. This is compared to the likely voters of whom thirteen percent believe the same. Among those who approve of Obama’s job performance, just twenty... read more

Townhall… Palin’s Provocative Proposal: A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Conservatives Leaving the GOP
By Steve Deace - Jul 06, 2013 - Ronald Reagan once famously said “I didn’t leave the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party left me.” These days, millions of conservatives around the country feel the same about a Republican Party seemingly hell-bent on abandoning every principle other than crony capitalism. Recently on Fox News, conservative rock star Sarah Palin channeled that frustration when she said: I love the name of that party – ‘ Freedom Party.’ And if the GOP continues to back away from the... read more

Redstate… But Won’t People Die? By Erick Erickson
July 3rd, 2013 - They told us we had to do it. We had to rush through Obamacare; passing it to find out what was in it, as Nancy Pelosi told us. We had to do it and it could not wait because lives were depending on it. We needed to save lives and we needed to provide women access to birth control. Suddenly, yesterday, the Obama Administration announced it would deny women access to contraception paid for by their employer after campaigning throughout 2012 on just how important paying for abortions... read more

Artvoice… The USA vs. Leslie James Pickering, by Geoff Kelly
Last August, Leslie James Pickering received unsettling news from an old acquaintance he’d known in Portland, Oregon, where both had lived in the 1990s. Pickering’s friend, now living in the Southwest, had received a phone call from two men who identified themselves as agents in the FBI’s Buffalo field office. The agents asked Pickering’s friend about his character—what she thought of him as a person. Was he capable of influencing or even manipulating people? They asked her about Pickering’s... read more

Townhall Finance… The Obamacare Jobless Rate Soars from 13.8 to 14.3 percent, By John Ransom
Jul 06, 2013 - The market got more bad news that’s good news- but not good in the sense that it actually helps you, me or anyone else- when the new jobs reports came out on Friday. This "good news is bad news is good news" thing is getting tiresome. It's part of what our friend Mike Shedlock calls the Obamacare Effect. First the barely good news. The report showed that despite the dire warnings from federal bureaucrats, politicians and K Street lobbyists... read more

Breitbart.com…Republicans leaving party are tired of “Two Evils” argument, By Joel Pollak
July 2–A new study by the Frontier Lab, a conservative market research group, found that Republican voters who leave the party do so because they are are tired of being told to vote Republican as the "lesser of two evils." The study, "Switching Behavior: Modeling disaffiliation from the Republican brand," is published on the group's website and applies scientific methods of qualitative research to the GOP's most urgent problem. Unlike the official Republican National Committee (RNC) "autopsy," which ... read more

Townhall…Red, White and You, By Jackie Gingrich Cushman
Jul 04, 2013–This week we celebrate the Fourth of July, the day that our founders declared their independence from Great Britain. This declaration action came after a long history of imposition by King George III. While it might seem as though this is ancient history, there are applicable lessons to remember today. "We hold these truths to be self-evident," the document begins, "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain ... read more

Heritage Foundation… Do Traditional Marriage Supporters Deserve to Be Treated with Dignity?, By Jim DeMint
July 2, 2013 - Some people can’t seem to understand why anyone would support marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Indeed, Justice Anthony Kennedy argued last week that the only reason Congress had for passing the Defense of Marriage Act was to “disparage,” “injure,” “degrade,” “demean,” and “humiliate” others. Justice Kennedy says we’re denying dignity to people in same-sex relationships. But it is his ruling that denies dignity to those who don’t think a same-sex relationship ... read more

Townhall Finance… This Will Leave a Mark: More Bi-Partisan "Reform", By John Ransom
Jul 03, 2013 - The economy today, in this Fourth of July week for 2013, waits in breathless anticipation of our newest declaration of dependence. Sometime this week, jobs data, housing data and some other data export manufactured by the federal government will result in someone, somewhere- perhaps even in the stock market- doing something. And when that happens regulators, media mavens, talking heads, politicians, special interests, and Mayor ... read more

Heritage Foundation…5 Immigration Questions for Members of Congress, by James Carafano and Jessica Zuckerman
July 1, 2013 It’s July 4 week, which means Members of Congress are at home in their districts. As you head to your nearest town hall meeting, take these questions for your Representative. Below, we also provide the real answers you should be listening for. 1. Since the Senate-passed bill doesn’t require the flow of illegal immigrants to stop, how can you say this approach ... read more

How Many Do You Know??? From a CNO Reader
Ok, here's a little fun trip back in time. Let's see how much you remember, and how many you can recall. Play fair, don't cheat! Oh, you'll need a piece of paper and a pencil to record your answers.

Cleveland Plain Dealer… Derail the amnesty express, By Kevin OBrien
This all looks so distressingly, depressingly familiar. People working on Capitol Hill have spent months building a massive bill that would greatly expand federal power and reach while raining gifts on favored constituencies. At the last moment, the introduction of an equally massive amended version has thrown the process into darkness and the potential effects of the legislation into confusion. Once again, we won't really know what is in a piece of legislation that will affect the lives of every American -- and... read more

Townhall… Another White House Play Date with Muslim Jihad, By Michelle Malkin
Jun 28, 2013 - Forget Paula Deen. There are far more dangerous bigots and poisonous haters spoiling the American landscape. They cook up violent rhetoric and murderous plots against our troops, our citizens and our allies 24/7. And they have direct access to the White House. Earlier this week, the indefatigable Investigative Project on Terrorism blew the whistle on the Obama administration's latest flirtation with Muslim jihad. Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayyah... read more

Ohio’s War on Local Governments, By Dusty Rhodes, Hamilton County Auditor
The Kasich administration has declared war on Ohio’s local governments. The drastic reductions in the Local Government Fund have forced cities, villages and townships across the state to seek additional levies just to provide minimal services. If the levies don’t pass the money runs out and the services stop. Or local taxes have to increase to maintain them. Cuts of this magnitude in state funding were neither necessary nor equitable. State revenues are up and State spending continues to rise... read more
