Rarely Heard

Crossed Up
Her Political Majesty finally agreed to give her first national campaign interview Tuesday to CNN, though she still hasn’t crossed the threshold of being interesting. The Clinton campaign is a joyless entourage that behaves as if it’s entitled to the White House in return for her family’s privileged life in government. (Wall Street Journal, 7/8/2015)

Our sources say that this is the last interview that Hillary will give until she is elected. 


Trumpster
Republican Party leaders agonize over the prospect that Donald Trump will mount a third-party candidacy that could undermine their nominee. They fear insulting the white working-class voters who admire him. They are loath to tangle with a threat-flinging firebrand for whom there are no rules of engagement. (New York Times, 7/10/2015)

Donald Trump's sin? He spoke out against illegal immigration. Key word: illegal.

Nothing demonstrates more clearly the state of America today.... 

(And, by the way, Democrat Party leaders have no such similar worries about the effect of Colonel Bernie Sanders.)

Here's Peggy Noonan on the same topic: 

...illegal immigration is a calamity. It is an admission by a nation that it has lost control not only of its borders but of itself. It is no longer functioning as a sovereign nation; it has lost its self-protectiveness and dignity. (Wall Street Journal, 7/10/2015)

Well stated!


Costly
Cost has long been a major obstacle to women getting birth control, and declines in what they pay for contraceptives have the potential to increase access and reduce unplanned pregnancies. (New York Times, 7/8/2015)

As has been documented many times, birth control pills are available for $10 per month. Condoms cost less than a coffee at Starbucks. But the crack investigative journalists at the New York Times have not yet uncovered these facts. That would get in the way of the pre-packaged conclusion that Obamacare has saved the female sex. 

And, by the way, where is Sandra Fluke, America's leading expert on the topic of (free) birth control? 

Sandra? 

Sandy?
