Election 2014
Conservative support divided in crowded Georgia U.S. Senate primary
Raises Democrats’ hopes of upset win for Michelle Nunn in November
Republicans expanding field in Senate contests, but what about the House?
There’s no question that Obamacare hurts the prospects of Democratic candidates in 2014. The question is how much — and where? Last week I wrote a blog post comparing President Obama’s Gallup job approval numbers for calendar year 2013 in all 50 states and the District of Columbia with Obama’s 2012 percentage of the popular vote there (which tracked closely his November 2012 job approval). I found the biggest declines in almost all the 2012 target states, most of which have 2014 Senate races which at the beginning of the cycle did not appear to be competitive but which appear so now in recent polling.
Republican wins San Diego mayor special election
A moderate Republican city councilman has been elected mayor of San Diego in a special election to fill the unexpired term of Bob Filner, who resigned amid a torrent of sexual harassment allegations.
#AKSen: Begich allies spending already against Sullivan
Given his prolific fundraising (along with beneficial name-confusion with the popular Republican mayor of Anchorage), it’s not a stretch to suppose that of the Republicans in the primary election for Senate, it’s Alaska’s former Natural Resources Commissioner, Dan Sullivan, who keeps Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, up at night.
Vulnerable Dems want IRS to step up
Senate Democrats facing tough elections this year want the Internal Revenue Service to play a more aggressive role in regulating outside groups expected to spend millions of dollars on their races.
Obama Scandals
100% of 501(c)(4) Groups Audited by IRS Were Conservative
Today Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI), the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, confirmed that 100% of the established 501(c)(4) groups the IRS selected for audit were conservative.
Gun Rights
Untold Thousands Flout Gun Registration Law
Everyone knew there would be some gun owners flouting the law that legislators hurriedly passed last April, requiring residents to register all military-style rifles with state police by Dec. 31.
Ninth Circuit strikes California’s restrictive rule against licensed carry of handguns
The Ninth Circuit’s decision in Peruta v. San Diego, released minutes ago, affirms the right of law-abiding citizens to carry handguns for lawful protection in public.
Ninth Circuit holds Second Amendment secures a right to carry a gun
So holds today’s Peruta v. County of San Diego (9th Cir. Feb. 13, 2014) (2-1 vote). The court concludes that California’s broad limits on both open and concealed carry of loaded guns — with no “shall-issue” licensing regime that assures law-abiding adults of a right to get licenses, but only a “good cause” regime under which no license need be given — “impermissibly infringe[] on the Second Amendment right to bear arms in lawful self-defense.” The Ninth Circuit thus joins the Seventh Circuit, and disagrees with the Second, Third, and Fourth Circuits.

Comforting: 95% Of Climate Models Used To Base Policy Decisions On Are Wrong
I’m seeing a lot of wrangling over the recent (15+ year) pause in global average warming…when did it start, is it a full pause, shouldn’t we be taking the longer view, etc.
Arizona vs. California: A Tale of Two Droughts
Astonishingly low rainfall. Low snow levels on the mountains. Rivers at two to three percent of normal levels. And yet–plenty of water for the state’s farms, lawns and gardens. It’s not California, where Gov. Jerry Brown has warned residents to cut back on water use, and seventeen rural communities face extreme water shortages. It’s neighboring Arizona, where the state has done a superior job of developing water reservoirs for dry years.
The $2.2 Billion Bird-Scorching Solar Project
At California’s Ivanpah Plant, Mirrors Produce Heat and Electricity—And Kill Wildlife
World’s Largest Solar Plant Scorching Birds in Nevada Desert
It’s a conundrum for environmentalists: a solar power plant that is the largest of its type in the world and can supply power for 140,000 homes is also killing dozens of birds. The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System, which uses hundreds of thousands of mirrors near the California-Nevada border, is capable of producing nearly 400 megawatts, but its roughly 350,000 solar-thermal, computer-controlled mirrors which reflect sunlight to boilers on the top of 459-foot towers, has apparently already killed dozens of birds. The intense 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit around the towers is burning birds flying through its path.

HIV/AIDS Patients May Get Shut Out of Obamacare Exchanges
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana has begun notifying hundreds of residents in the state with HIV/AIDS that they are at risk of losing their plans obtained through Obamacare’s exchanges if they used funds from a program that provides financial aid to people with the disease to pay for the plans. Starting next month, payments received from the Ryan White program, the largest federally funded program for people with HIV/AIDS, will not be accepted by the insurance provider, according to Reuters.

HHS’ Latest Tweak To Obamacare Requires That Employers Certify That You’re Not Making Economic Decisions Because Of It
Thought police.

Republicans renew ObamaCare battle after latest mandate delay
Republicans renewed their calls to delay or repeal ObamaCare Monday after the Obama administration announced another delay in the requirement for businesses to provide health coverage to workers, giving some employers a reprieve next year while phasing in the mandate for others.

Solzhenitsyns
Ignat Solzhenitsyn is a pianist and conductor. He is also a son of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the great writer (and man). Ignat is an expert on his father’s work, and on the Soviet Union that produced the work (in a sense). For The Human Parade, Jay Nordlinger interviewed him in June 2011. They split their hour in two: For the first half-hour, they talked about Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and the Soviet Union. For the second half-hour, they talked about music.

Virginia Same-Sex Marriage Ruling Confuses Declaration of Independence with Constitution
A federal judge struck down Virginia’s ban on same-sex marriage today, an historic ruling with especial resonance on Valentine’s Day.

Google admits data mining student emails in its free education apps
When it introduced a new privacy policy designed to improve its ability to target users with ads based on data mining of their online activities, Google said the policy didn’t apply to students using Google Apps for Education. But recent court filings by Google’s lawyers in a California class action lawsuit against Gmail data mining tell a different story: Google now admits that it does data mine student emails for ad-targeting purposes outside of school, even when ad serving in school is turned off, and its controversial consumer privacy policy does apply to Google Apps for Education.

Say’s Law of Markets, And Why Money and Wealth Are Not the Same Thing

Court Slaps Down IRS Power Grab
More often than not, conversations about the Obama administration’s executive overreach end up with apologists asking, petulantly, “well, what are you going to do about it anyway.” This is interesting for two reasons: First, because it reveals that the speaker’s principles do not extend much beyond “do what you can get away with”; and, second, because it reveals that the speaker probably doesn’t know that the courts have often slapped this president on the wrist for imperialism. Indeed, the latest such example came yesterday from the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which, per Tim Carney at the Washington Examiner, ruled that “the IRS may not unilaterally expand its authority through” what it described rather brutally as “an expansive, atextual, and ahistorical reading of” the law.

With oil economy running on fumes, Venezuela ‘on the edge of the apocalypse’
In the serene private clubs of Caracas, there is no milk, and the hiss of the cappuccino machine has fallen silent. In the slums, the lights go out every few days, or the water stops running. In the grocery stores, both state-run shops and expensive delicatessens, customers barter information: I saw soap here, that store has rice today. The oil engineers have emigrated to Calgary, the soap opera stars fled to Mexico and Colombia. And in the beauty parlours of this nation obsessed with elaborate grooming, women both rich and poor have cut back to just one blow-dry or manicure each week.

Protests in Venezuela continue (despite President Maduro’s proclamation that the nation is in “absolute calm”), with both the government and the opposition holding rallies, leaving several streets and subway stations in Caracas closed. 10 students who were arrested amid violent protests last week have been released, though 6 students remain in custody. Demonstrators do not yet have the numbers or support base to unseat President Nicolas Maduro’s administration, but as Stratfor notes, these protests could mark a turning point as the economic situation deteriorates there is a chance that protests like this could begin to generate additional social momentum in rejection of the status quo.

University of Toronto’s “Ontario Institute for Studies in Education” interviews teachers about how to indoctrinate students
You can find videos here in which OISE has interviewed five teachers regarding how they indoctrinate students. OISE does not even try to hide the fact that they are indoctrinating students; the section of their website that the videos are found in is titled “Edactivism” (educational activism). Their list of “educational activists” includes Antonino Giambrone (who I believes chairs the TDSB gay pride committee) and Tim McCaskell (a Queers Against Israeli Apartheid spokesman who gave a talk at the Marxism 2013 conference at Ryerson U last summer).
Opinion
Always Flatter, Never Challenge, Your Audience
Andrew Ferguson has a pretty entertaining takedown of the remarkably dreadful political cartoonist Herbert Block in this week’s issue of the Weekly Standard. Andy was driven to write it by the appearance of a hagiographic documentary heaping praise on the remarkably predictable, utterly boring cartoonist. I just wanted to briefly highlight one paragraph, within which Andy shines a light on the success of “Herblock,” as he was known to his sycophants
The 2016 GOP Bench
This is based on conversations with a few professionals in the conservative circles and my own observations. This is in no way a final prediction, just a look at the present field. Also, this has been updated to include information from Erick’s post regarding Joe Scarborough. Like Erick said, the bench is deep, and while he doesn’t want to talk 2016 before the end of 2014, I’ve got no such reservations. Also, yes, I know Rick Perry is absent.

Sorry, TNR, America’s Legal System Needs More Justice, Not More Socialism
Under the guise of “fairness,” socialized law would result in less justice, not more
The Invisible Nutsack
We are told, often with ill intent, that we live in a patriarchal culture. Our schoolteachers, who always seem to be female, lecture us that males enjoy unfair privileges merely for being born with an “outie’ rather than an “innie.”
We are also told, on buttons, T-shirts, bumper stickers, coffee cups, and even whiskey flasks, that “Feminism is the radical notion that women are people.” I think antimisandry.com phrased the problem more accurately: “Feminism is the radical notion that men are not people.”

Liberalism: A Perpetual State Of Childhood
The Congressional Budget Office released a report early last week which stated that by 2024 the equivalent of 2.5 million full-time workers will be missing from the United States economy because of the effect of Obamacare. The spin chosen by defenders of the law is that 2.5 million Americans will now be “liberated” from the confines of employment sought, apparently, for the primary purpose of having health insurance.

Will Demographics Really Destroy GOP?
Last week, Peter Wehner wrote a piece in Commentary magazine laying out a collection of data regarding recent elections and demographic trends. He was mostly content to let the data speak for themselves, save for a codicil to the piece arguing that something had to change: “Republican problems are not superficial, transient, or cyclical. The trends speak for themselves. The GOP therefore needs to articulate a governing vision and develop a governing agenda that can reach groups that have not traditionally been supportive of it.” His ultimate takeaway is that the GOP needs to substantially revise its platform, and make a move similar to that made by the New Democrats in 1992.
The left’s indifference to Obama’s executive power grabs is beginning to border on a cult of personality
“Beginning”?
There’s nothing here that you haven’t heard before if you watched him testify before Congress in December but it’s still worth watching for two reasons. One is his tone, which has grown darker and more apocalyptic since then. More than once here he warns that Obama’s “enablers” are destined to rue the fact that they remained silent “during this period.” Precedents are being set that will be built on by future presidents of both parties; for all the complaining about executive overreach by Democrats circa 2006 and Republicans today, the cold realities of power are what they are. I’m tempted to say that it was O’s latest unlawful delay to ObamaCare’s employer mandate that soured Turley’s mood, but I don’t think that’s it. I think it was the State of the Union, where Obama embraced bypassing Congress as formal policy. Look out for the phrase “borders on authoritarianism.”

This is What Happens When You Make Us Care
In America, gay rights activists are making us care. We are not allowed to turn a blind eye. We are not allowed to opt out. They are forcing businesses to either shut their doors or provide goods and services to honor commitments that violate religious beliefs. They equate doing so to the Civl Rights struggle. Never mind that no one knows who you’re sleeping with unless you tell everybody, but everybody knows your race or sex just by look at you (yes, yes, there are some exceptions).
The Wrong Kind of Gay
There are local elections coming up in Washington, D.C. The Gay and Lesbian Activist Alliance has put out its ratings.

It turns out that Bruce Majors, the only gay candidate running for mayor of Washington, D.C. also got the lowest score of all the candidates. Why? He is a limited government libertarian.

Feminism 2.0
We hear it all the time: “America is patriarchal!”, “American women are oppressed!”. Well, a lifelong feminist and former National Organization for Women member, Tammy Bruce, is tired of hearing it–and she has a solution laid out in our newest video: Feminism 2.0. One that tells women that they should be proud to act feminine. One that tells them that simply copying men and masculine traits is actually demeaning to women. One that honors all responsible choices, including becoming a wife and mother.
