LinkSwarm for August 8, 2014
Another roundup of news, a disproportionate amount from the Middle East, disproportionately bad. Old and Busted: “Never again!” The New Hotness: “Genocide? Meh. Case-by-case basis.” More on the ISIS campaign to wipe out the Yazidi and other religious minorities. Obama says he’s authorizing air strikes “if necessary.” Even when threatening military action, Obama manages to… Continue reading LinkSwarm for August 8, 2014
#AskHillary
Hillary Clinton’s “I’m running for President, I just haven’t declared it yet” campaign had a #AskHillary Q & A session on Twitter last night. Naturally I took advantage of it: #AskHillary How do you find the strength to go on, given your horrific, grinding poverty? http://t.co/zSkJiP7Ptf — BattleSwarm (@BattleSwarmBlog) July 22, 2014 #AskHillary When is… Continue reading #AskHillary
LinkSwarm for July 11, 2014
More news from inside the handbasket, including the dust-up in Gaza and the illegal alien surge at the border: Israel hits Gaza for a third day in retaliation for yet another round of rocket attacks. Is there really anything left to say about this that hasn’t been said before? Hamas is the elected government of… Continue reading LinkSwarm for July 11, 2014
LinkSwarm for June 27, 2014
A small LinkSwarm for a busy Friday: Evidently Obama wants $500 million to arm the Syrian rebels that we’re supposedly trying to fight in Iraq. Oh, the article says he wants to arm “moderate” rebels. Has anyone seen these moderate rebels? Who are they? Kurds? Oppressed Christians? The problem isn’t that they don’t exist, the… Continue reading LinkSwarm for June 27, 2014
The Clintons Just Don’t Get It
Hot on the heels of Hillary Clinton claiming that her family was dead broke in 2001 (for certain values of “dead broke” that include being worth more than $20 million) comes news that Hillary has doubled down on the “shucks, we’re just regular folks” gambit. In an interview with The Guardian, Clinton said she isn’t… Continue reading The Clintons Just Don’t Get It
I Missed Hillary’s Austin Book-Signing
I couldn’t make Hillary Clinton’s signing at Bookpeople today because I have to work for a living. Plus tickets were “sold out.” Fortunately, someone else was able to make it to her D.C. stop:
LinkSwarm for May 27, 2014
Texans: Don’t forget to vote in the runoff today! Now a LinkSwarm to follow the Memorial Day weekend. Hillary 2008: “Forget a new campaign managers[sic], she needed a Feng Shui consultant—or an exorcist.” How ObamaCare screws black doctors. One of the first polls of doctor’s offices dealing with ObamaCare patients. Tidbits: “We are going to… Continue reading LinkSwarm for May 27, 2014
Gun and Crime Roundup for May 7, 2014
Time for another roundup of gun and crime news. As always Democrats are trying to take guns away from the good guys, while the good guys are shooting the stupidest of the bad guys: Supreme Court refuses to hear Drake v. Jerejian, leaving intact New Jersey’s anti-Second Amendment law requiring citizens to “show need” before… Continue reading Gun and Crime Roundup for May 7, 2014
Hillary Clinton | Victor Pinchuk | Viktor Yanukovych
Well, this is interesting. Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton have built a sprawling network of powerful friends around the globe, one that could aid Mrs. Clinton’s chances were she to seek the presidency. But those relationships often come with intersecting interests and political complications; few people illustrate that more vividly than the Ukrainian oligarch Victor… Continue reading Hillary Clinton | Victor Pinchuk | Viktor Yanukovych
