Stop me if you've heard this joke before

Fox News: "Dozens of Clinton emails in latest release contain classified info."  Can we talk to the guy who set up the server?  Oh, no, we can't.

Obamacare, cure thyself

Hit and Run: "Obamacare's Biggest Government-Backed Non-Profit Insurer Is Shutting Down."  "While some of Obamacare's co-ops may survive, it seems likely, given their generally precarious finances, that several more will eventually cease operations, and that taxpayers will ultimately end up shortchanged on much of the "loan" money that was used to help start the program."  Of course.

There's a reason for that

Here's Chris Cillizza in the Washington Post, trying to be funny I assume: "Trust in the media is at an all-time low.  That's a terrible thing for all of us."  And by "us" I assume he means him and all his left-wing mouthpiece in the incurably liberal media.

What's most interesting about this poll is that independents are now in the same camp as Republicans while Democrats, who benefit from a biased press, think the media is mostly OK.

All the world a victim

Hot Air: "Elizabeth Warren launches the Big Pander to #BlackLivesMatter."

Warren is the perfect mouthpiece for the BLM movement because it dovetails with her economic message that there is no such thing as personal responsibility.  (Oh you took out a third mortgage and lost it all at the track?  Damn those bankers!)  I read her entire speech and it's wrapped in the soothing message that nothing is ever your fault.

You would think that - maybe just for the sake of variety - Warren could urge the reformation of the African-American family where 72% of kids are born without a father, leading to instability, poverty and crime.  At least that's what this dude told me a couple years ago:

The absence of fathers is important, [this dude] continued, because "children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison."

Racist.

Extra - Daily Beast: "Black Lives Matter is living in the past."

I'm just a girl - tee hee!

Doug Ross: "Symphony of lies: Hillary Clinton’ Startlingly Awful Performance on Meet The Press."

There's a lot of retread here but one thing that stood out is that Hillary is now claiming she's not a technical expert and depended on others to do that science-stuff.  Who did she depend on?  Brian Pagliano who has taken the Fifth.  How convenient.

Obvious headline is obvious

The Hill: "Clinton may not have turned over all her emails."

“We provided all of them,” she said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” in recent days.

That's also what she told the judge.

Boehner bails

This happened while I was at work and my reaction was: "What's this all about?" followed by "Not surprising."  I just don't think the man has the temperament to be Speaker.  I mean, all that crying.

Also, I have to wonder how much losing Eric Cantor - in a primary challenge - hurt his leadership.  I think Boehner depended on Cantor to herd the cats and, without him, Boehner was overwhelmed.

The Texas clock hoax

Investor's Business Daily: "Did Muslim Clock Boy perpetrate a hoax?"  Yes he did.

The real scandal here is the reaction of the media and assorted Leftists (but I repeat myself).  The clock/bomb story was the Perfect Storm for the Left to sneer at Texas: for being anti-science, for the "over-reaction" of the police, and - naturally - for racism.  No wonder the Obama White House jumped in feet first before even checking out the details.

What did Ahmed get for his traumatic subjugation at the hands of these Lone Star knuckle-draggers?  An invite to the White House, an invite to Facebook, and a ton of swag from Microsoft.

Like with a cloth or something?

Hillary last month: "I don't know nothin' about wipin' no servers!"

Cybersecurity expert Hillary now: "There's no evidence of a security breach."

That's some learning curve.

The Iranians know what they're doing

Fox News: "Iran deal open for debate? Tehran presses new ayatollah demand."

The Iranian government is pressing the U.S. and others to give even more ground to Tehran in the already-sealed nuclear agreement, posing a new headache as the Obama administration and others try to implement the deal.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier this month demanded that sanctions be lifted entirely, not just suspended. A top Khamenei adviser reiterated that demand over the weekend -- ahead of potential informal talks on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.

The mullahs know that Obama is desperate for his foreign policy legacy "achievement" and John Kerry is salivating for a Nobel Peace Prize (they'll give it to anybody nowadays.)  And since these two dopes have framed the agreement as a choice between peace and WAR! - how can they now back down?

Oh, that's a red line?  Adorable.

Drunk History is on tonight!

Oh man, I love Drunk History.  This is one of my favorites:



And, for your further edification on Bell Labs, read "The Idea Factory."  I worked for Lucent for a couple years and visited the original Bell Labs in Murray Hill, New Jersey, where the transistor was invented.

Joe ready to go

The Hill: "Dems see Biden entering race — and complicating life for Hillary Clinton."

I have a theory about Joe Biden: I don't think he wants to get into the race but also wants to be ready in case Hillary is indicted otherwise too politically damaged to continue.  Then the Democrats can "pull a Torricelli" and replace their candidate at the moment of peril.

What? I'm a nice guy!

We got a two-year-old rescue dog last week and she shies away from me like I'm going to hit her.

I'm starting to get a complex.

Isn't that exactly what you'd expect a replicant to say?

CBS News: "Hillary Clinton: 'I am a real person'."

We're going to need this equipment.

Extra - From today's Boston Globe: "Hillary Clinton is lacking in the art of contact"

Some in the audience of 300 packed into a Boys & Girls Club in this lakeside town appeared moved by the story. But not, at least that one could tell, the woman who organized the forum, which was intended to focus on the scourge of drug addiction in New Hampshire. 

Hillary Clinton physically backed up closer to a wall as she listened and nodded. When the woman finished her story, the leading Democratic presidential contender retrieved a microphone, turned away, and began asking another panelist to respond. 

Then she stopped herself. “I’m very sorry,” said Clinton, who followed with a bland observation. “We’re not doing enough on mental health treatment.” 

No real show of compassion. No hug or even a touch on the hand.

The Left hates free speech, a continuing series

Powerline: "Arrest those climate skeptics!"  When you're winning a debate, you don't ask the other side to shut up.

Oh the things you haven't done

Legal Insurrection: "Hillary's accomplishments: A snapshot of nothing much."  "Ask 20 Democrats for Hillary’s accomplishments and sit back for the funny."

It's funny how a lot of stuff boils down to "gave a speech" or "was in the vicinity of Bill at the time."

No capes!

This is great (found on Imgur).  There's a fan theory that Edna Mode in "The Incredibles" was the secret hero of the movie by providing Syndrome with a caped costume.

Obama: The buck stops there

Hot Air: "White House: You people forced Obama to start this failed training program for Syrian rebels, you know."

At long last, my friends, we’ve reached Peak Obama.

And you thought we reached it when he said: "I didn't draw that red line."  You know, I have no illusions that there were no good choices in Syria.  But this is typical for our vanity-swollen Boy Wonder: it's impossible for him to take an ounce of blame for anything.  It's too late in his Administration to blame Dubya for security-related disasters so: Hillary!  You're up!

I can't vacillate forever!

MSNBC: "Hillary Clinton promises Keystone decision 'soon'."  The focus group must be meeting this weekend.

Nobody will go to jail

The Truth About Cars: "GM to Pay $900 Million For Faulty Ignition Switch Cover-up."  I'm sure glad the government sold all its shares in GM before it stuck them with this fine.
