Another day … more news and more perspectives to consider.
This is Hillary's defense ... it was allowed ... it doesn't matter how many rules or regulations she broke, since everybody knew she was doing it, obviously it was allowed ... and so there is no need for any apology ... as if an apology would really excuse breaking the rules and regulations.
On second thought, I think I will apologize, Hillary says. But nobody told me I was doing anything wrong, so obviously it was allowed.
Senators propose limited Congressional immunity for Clinton's IT guy ... things could get interesting. But then again, the DOJ has to agree.
Clinton proposes new caps, subsidies on political donations. I love it when the left goes spending other people's money.
This is one view on how much damage Clinton's private server caused ... something to think about at least.
And the Wall Street Market roller coaster ride continues ... don't think this is the end.
I am not sure Dr. Sowell is correct in this one ... I think the blame in the Middle East lies with the people of the Middle East, but he is right, the refugee "crisis" will defy solution.
If you were unaware and this surprises you ... wake up and smell the roses. This has been going on for more than 30 years ... unfortunately, it really is hard these days to know if or when the Iranians will do something silly and spark an incident. I don't think they want to, because I really do think they realize that they would come out on the short end of that stick.
The Kentucky county clerk is out of jail ... and is asking the court, or the governor, to make it possible to accommodate her religious objections to same-sex marriages by altering the marriage license form so it does not go out over her signature. Interesting compromise solution. She doesn't have to sign it, a deputy clerk can sign the form, and the people get their licenses. Not that that is going to satisfy those who are bound and determined to crush this Democrat elected office holder for violating the new dogma.
And her prior divorces have what relevance? Oh, they supposedly show she is a Christian hypocrite ... I guess people haven't heard of re-births or awakenings … or of people being forgiven for their past sins. Nah, they are just hypocrites.
Well, the North Charleston officer facing charges in shooting a black man apparently is giving indications of what defense will be used. It will be interesting, once the court process is resolved, to see what came out about what happened that fateful day.
Mr. Barone makes a very valid set of points here ...
Mr. Rachel points out how black lives apparently really don't matter to the Black Lives Matter people, unless there is a white person involved in it somewhere.
Warning: Don't get bit by a snake from Sub-Saharan Africa ... there might not be enough anti-venom serum for you.
It will be interesting how far the French are willing to push air strikes in Syria ... which makes me wonder: Where are the French planes being based?
Interesting article on the push-back facing Pope Francis and just how far his "reforms" will get.
This story will be interesting to watch play out: Will Britain stay in the EU?
This analysis of the Britain-EU possible split comes down on the side of staying.
And sometimes the US Government under Obama can just be so naked in pursuing its agendas
Despite what progressive, Democrats and the president may say (or believe), mandating paid sick leave does not come without costs ... the question is: Could there be a better way. Possibly.
Unfortunately, for these authors, they are living in another world when it comes to the Iran Nuclear Deal. First of all, there will be no sanctions snap-back ... ain't gonna happen. Once the sanctions are down and gone, they are gone, not to be resurrected short of Iran nuking Tel Aviv. Similar problems bedevil the reset of their points throughout the article.
The irony about this story about Turkey's president ... is that change a name or two here and there ... and the crises ... and it could very well be describing another leader in a land much closer to home.
A great debate rages among foreign policy experts on whether Russia's Putin is a genius or a dolt ... I put him down somewhere in between, but a pretty smart, manipulative cookie.
Well, it seems that China's big military parade achieved at least some of its ends. ... and I guess that is what big, impressive, public displays of military might are supposed to do.
It seems the North Koreans are getting ready to stir the pot again ... oh well, it will go on.
Eh-yup ... time to pay the piper. Obama gets his Iran deal ... now he has to convince the Sunni Arab nations in the Arabian Gulf that it is a good idea.
Sorry, Gulf News thinker ... but the region's problems are not Obama's to solve ... as if he really would be inclined to do. He already has abandoned you folks to your own devices, in standard good old American tradition it seems since the 1970s
Interesting view of the impact of the Middle East migrant crisis on the Greeks. The sad thing, it seems apparent from this article, is that these people are giving up on their countries and voting with their feet. It really is a sad commentary on the various tribes, religious groups and whatever. It also is sad that these people seem to view Europe, or the US, as the promised land.
Just so you know ... the obsession with the end of the world - the most current variant being global warming - is not new ... and seems to go back quite a ways with the human species.
This will be interesting to see how the Active Army comes to grips with the Reserve Armies ... yes, a redesign is in order ... just not the one the active brass usually want.
This is the ultimate in tracking ... follow the poop.
