GOP Sixteeners enter into data deal - WSJ: “The Republican National Committee announced an agreement Thursday that allows the party access to data that a set of GOP presidential candidates and super PACs gather about voters. The deal also allows the campaigns and PACs to use the RNC’s vast file of voter data and build on it as the campaign progresses…This could prove to be a potential boon for the party, if the primary stretches deep into April or May, because it would help the RNC gobble up information about voters in every state that holds a competitive nominating contest.” -Fox News

No State review of undisclosed Clinton Foundation donations - AP: “[State] Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said the contributions in question, made to the Clinton Health Access Initiative by private donors, would not have been reviewed even if they had all been disclosed under the terms of ethics agreements Clinton signed before she took office. That’s because only donations to the foundation from foreign governments or speaking fees for former President Bill Clinton were subject to vetting.”

Quid pro quo - Responding to criticism from Clintonites that he is just “throwing spaghetti against the wall” to see what sticks, “Clinton Cash” author Peter Schweizer told Megyn Kelly that what his book shows is a pattern of behavior where an influx of money to the Clintons results in favorable action for donors. “We need to have somebody that has subpoena power look into some of these deals.” Schweizer said. “We need to look at some of the inflated speaking fees that Bill Clinton got as she was considering everything from the Keystone Pipeline to issues related to sanctions on Iran.” Watch here. -Fox News

HE GETS MISTY
(Beckley, W.Va.) Register-Herald: “A Raleigh County man is in jail after he allegedly foiled his own robbery by pepper-spraying himself, police said. Michael Kevin Meadows, 43, of Shady Spring, was arrested Wednesday for attempted robbery, according to a criminal complaint filed in Raleigh County Magistrate Court. On Tuesday, Meadows went into the Bypass Pharmacy on Ritter Drive in Beaver, according to the complaint, wearing full camouflage, a boonie hat and a paintball mask. Meadows started spraying pepper spray everywhere in an effort to take down employees, then walked forward, the complaint stated, stepping right into the cloud of pepper spray. From security footage, police could see that Meadows was affected by his own pepper spray.” -Fox News

Team Clinton's New Campaign Slogan 'The Ends Justify The Means'
(Jeff Dunetz) - Rather than directly answering the charges surrounding the Clinton Foundation, foreign donations and Hilly Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State, team Clinton is pointing to all the good done by the Foundation... But is that really germane to the discussion? Does that really answer whether there was a State Department quid pro quo for Clinton Foundation donations? Does it address the fact that even if there was no quid pro quo, the Clinton Foundation broke the rules about foreign donations Ms. Clinton agreed to when she took the reigns at Foggy Bottom? Beyond what was exposed in the Peter Schweizer book Clinton Cash the Foundation has made some "accounting errors" in their reporting: There was also about $200 million in grants not not reported in the foundations 2010/2011 tax returns. http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2015/05/team-clintons-new-campaign-slogan-ends.html?utm_source=The+Lid+List&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=a1012a0994-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_597b72c01c-a1012a0994-291705165&goal=0_597b72c01c-a1012a0994-291705165

How the Illiberal Left Uses Silencing Tactics
(Kirsten Powers) - In March 2014, pioneering Internet company Mozilla announced the appointment of co-founder Brendan Eich as CEO. That same day, a Twitter mob exploded with criticism of Eich... Gay rights supporters were angry about a 6-year-old donation of $1,000 to the “Yes on 8” campaign, which sought to ban same-sex marriage in California in 2008. It’s OK to be angry about Eich’s donation. Screaming for Eich’s head on a pike for his failure to conform to Mozilla’s majority view on same-sex marriage is not. Liberals are supposed to believe in protecting minority views, even when they disapprove of those views. http://dailysignal.com/2015/05/11/how-the-illiberal-left-uses-silencing-tactics/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=morningbell&mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRojvaXIZKXonjHpfsX56%2BQpWqS%2BlMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4JTcJmI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFQrLBMa1ozrgOWxU%3D

Rape and Torture: Iran's Political Weapons
(Uzay Bulut) - The rape and torture of Kurdish and dissidents in Iran -- both women and men -- is now widespread and systematic... Most recently, on May 4, Farinaz Khosrawani, 25, a Kurdish woman employed at the Hotel Tara in Mahabad in Iranian Kurdistan, plunged from a fourth-floor window of the Tara Hotel, Kurdish news media reported. Khosrawani allegedly jumped to her death to avoid being raped by an Iranian government security agent; the circumstances surrounding her death have not yet been confirmed. http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5734/iran-rape-kurds

GOP Failure Theater: the Iran nuclear vote, Cruz-Rubio edition
(redstate.com) - Failure Theater. When the GOP talks a good game about opposing nObama’s policies but, in fact, vote to go along with them... Yesterday the US Senate voted 98-1 to go along with whatever Barack nObama decides to give to Iran. Though the feckless Bob Corker (R-TN) has portrayed it as a successful “bipartisan” bill, part of Mitch McCon-nell (R-KY) erotic dream of “governing”, in fact it is a huge defeat for our Constitution. By turning the treaty process on its head, by giving nObama carte-blanche to do as he will unless Congress can muster the necessary 2/3 vote to abrogate his actions, the GOP has effectively taken the Congress out of any role in shaping US foreign policy. This bill, thanks to Mitch McCon-nell (R-KY) bipartisanship fetish did not even require the Iran cease supporting terrorist attacks on Americans. Nope, reasoned the addled Bob Corker (R-TN) and the big brain types in the GOP leadership, requiring Iran to forego terrorism before we help them get a nuke was just too much. nObama would never stand for it. http://www.redstate.com/2015/05/08/gop-failure-theater-iran-nuclear-vote-cruz-rubio-edition/

Houston Federal Judge Invents New Kind of Asset Forfeiture
(Mark Horne) - Forget about the pure, shameless robbery involved. What about the risk of being murdered? If you know that your drugs branded with your business logo have been used to betray drug cartels... and that one of your drivers was executed, wouldn’t you need to worry about the cartel considering you involved in that betrayal? No wonder Craig Patty says that he and his family are terrified about retaliation. In fact, one reason for the lawsuit is to make sure the facts get aired publicly so that no one thinks he was involved in the sting operation. Naturally, Patty’s insurance company refused to pay for repairs to the truck since they do not insure business vehicles to be used in police business. Not only is the judge’s ruling a crime of plunder, but the fact that an alleged “law enforcement” agency would refuse to pay in the first place proves that they are a lawless gang. http://politicaloutcast.com/2015/05/houston-federal-judge-invents-new-kind-of-asset-forfeiture/

Rulers of Gulf nations to miss Camp David summit hosted by nObama
(foxnews.com) - The White House was scrambling Monday to put a positive face on an upcoming summit of Persian Gulf states after learning leaders from four of the six invited nations are expected to skip... While those nations are still sending representatives to the summit being hosted by President nObama later this week at Camp David, the absence of crucial heads of state -- notably, Saudi Arabia's new king -- could present an awkward situation for the administration. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/05/11/saudi-king-salman-to-miss-gulf-nation-summit-in-us/

China Makes Major Moves To Ban Islam
(Steven Crowder) - Maybe one day, the West will realize that freedom can’t exist for those who want to take your freedom... Apparently, China realizes what the West doesn’t – bet you never thought you’d read that here – namely, that Islam is very dangerous. It’s kind of ironic that the oppressive nation sees what free nations don’t: Islam will turn nasty. It alwaysdoes. Everywhere the religion/political ideology has been given an inch, they’ve taken a mile. Like a rabid dog, once it gets strong enough, it will bite us. So what is China doing? It’s declaring an all-out war to make sure Islam doesn’t take over and never gains the strength to attack them. So let me simplify it: http://www.westernjournalism.com/china-makes-major-moves-to-ban-islam/?utm_source=MailChimp&utm_medium=email&utm_content=opinion-articles&utm_campaign=DailyEmail05.11.15

Top 5 Ways Liberals Are Already Submitting To Sharia Law
(Steven Crowder) - Here’s the deal: Sharia law doesn’t work in the US. Period. The end. In fact, Sharia law stands in direct opposition to the Constitution in many areas. Strike that, most areas... Yet, for some reason, liberals have decided we need to cower at the tenents of Islam as though we believe in and support them. Let’s not be provocative! We must not upset the (false) Prophet! Seriously, how on earth did our society reach a point where we’re more upset about people drawing cartoons than the fact that two terrorists tried to murder them for doing so? How far down the slope will we go? http://www.westernjournalism.com/top-5-ways-liberals-are-already-submitting-to-sharia-law/?utm_source=MailChimp&utm_medium=email&utm_content=opinion-articles&utm_campaign=DailyEmail05.11.15

Justice Scalia: Constitution, Not Bill of Rights, Makes Us Free
(Kevin Mooney) - To hear Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia tell it, America’s freedoms don’t come from freedom of speech or freedom of the press... It’s not the right to bear arms that keeps us free, nor is it the right to “be secure … against unreasonable search and seizure” or to a “speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.” The reason America’s basic freedom has endured for more than 200 years, Scalia said Friday in a speech to the Federalist Society in Morristown, N.J., is not the amendments to the Constitution but the Constitution itself. http://dailysignal.com/2015/05/11/supreme-court-justice-scalia-constitution-not-bill-of-rights-makes-us-free/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dailydigest&mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRojvKzIZKXonjHpfsX56%2BQpWqS%2BlMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4JTcNqI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFQrLBMa1ozrgOWxU%3D

The Death of the Green Energy Movement
(Stephen Moore) - The green energy movement in America is dead. May it rest in peace. No, a majority of American energy over the next 20 years is not going to come from windmills and solar panels... One important lesson to be learned from the green energy fad’s rapid and expensive demise is that central planning doesn’t work. What crushed green energy was the boom in shale oil and gas along with the steep decline in the price of fossil fuel that few saw coming just a few years ago. A new International Energy Agency report concedes that green energy is in fast retreat and is getting crushed by “the recent drop in fossil fuel prices.” It finds that the huge price advantage for oil and natural gas means “fossil plants still dominate recent (electric power) capacity additions.” http://dailysignal.com/2015/05/08/the-death-of-the-green-energy-movement/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dailydigest&mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRojvKzIZKXonjHpfsX56%2BQpWqS%2BlMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4JTcNqI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFQrLBMa1ozrgOWxU%3D
Do Black Lives Matter?
.
(burtprelutsky.com) - According to Democrats running for office, black lives matter a lot. The left-wing media wholeheartedly agrees. So far as conservatives are concerned, all human lives matter, including those on the brink of being born. In fact, it sometimes seems that the only people who don’t give a damn about black lives are other blacks. Otherwise, you would have to wonder why they are always shooting one another..
Because I often feel like one of the small number of columnists engaged in an honest dialogue – okay, more of a soliloquy – about race in America, and because I have opposed the presidential candidacy of not only Barack nObama, but Herman Cain and Dr. Ben Carson, I suspect that some people might label me a bigot.

.
I’m not, of course, but, then, that’s what bigots always say. However, in my defense, I would point out that whereas real bigots hate all blacks or all Jews or all Mormons, I can easily differentiate between people like Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and Jason Riley and the likes of Al Sharpton, Valerie Jarrett and Eric Holder.

I recognize the gulf that exists between black couples who get an education, get married, raise their children and hold down jobs and those inner city hoodlums peddling drugs, rioting and burning down homes and businesses just for the hell of it.

Even for me, though, the confusion comes at election time, when 90-95% of all black Americans, the decent and the indecent, the productive and the parasitical, join forces to vote for all the plantation owners sporting a (D) after their names.

In Baltimore, we have a black mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who keeps denying she said that we all heard her say. Within a 24-hour span, she denied she told the police to stand down and that she also said, “Let them loot. It’s only property.”

Being dismissive of property damage is second nature to liberals, so long as it’s not their property. The irony is that a black woman uttered those words. After all, what is it but a form of slavery when you take away something that somebody else worked and paid for? Or, to be more specific, if I have to work, say, 15 hours to earn enough money to buy a TV set and someone breaks into my house and steals it, I call that slavery. It’s true he didn’t put me in chains or whip me, but he sure as heck made me work for him against my will.

When Mayor Rawlings-Blake got around to explaining why she wouldn’t even let the cops defend themselves against the creeps throwing bricks and bottles at them, she indicated it was because the mob mainly consisted of teenagers. My question is how do they really differ from the other slacker males in the community who go through life sponging off the taxpayer, and never expressing anything but contempt for all us suckers who keep them housed, clothed and fed, so that periodically they can take to the streets and riot on behalf of some good-for-nothing like Rodney King, Michael Brown or Eric Garner?

Speaking of which, is it just coincidental that those shot down in the line of duty by police officers are, nearly without exception, young black males avoiding arrest? I mean, if white cops were as bigoted as the race hustlers keep insisting, wouldn’t they once in a while shoot a black doctor, a black accountant or a black auto mechanic? Could it possibly be that those people never have occasion to run from the cops?

♦ What’s more, isn’t it just possible that honest black men have as little to fear from the police as honest white men? Or at least honest white men who don’t happen to be conservatives living in Wisconsin. In case you missed the news because such things are of no interest to the mainstream media, a number of people in the state who supported Scott Walker have had their homes invaded by the cops.

As bad and as illegal as the invasions have been, what might be even worse is that the victims, whose only crime was donating money to Gov. Walker’s various campaigns, have been warned not to speak about these traumatic events, even to their lawyers. If the Justice Department didn’t have to answer to a thug named nObama, Loretta Lynch would devote her first month in office to indicting these Wisconsin prosecutors who seem to think that the job description includes behaving like a storm trooper. But, then, I have always said that lurking inside every liberal is a jack-booted Nazi screaming in German to be let out.

♦ Of course when you check out the federal government, you can see where these prosecutorial cheese heads get their nutty ideas. For as you may have noticed, the feds have a lot to say when it comes to the things our children eat and drink, as well as the toys they play with; especially if those toys even slightly resemble guns. As the self-righteous bureaucrats keep telling us, their sole concern is the health and safety of the kids.

With boneheads like these running the education industry, it’s no surprise that if a youngster eats a pop tart in such a way that at some point it looks anything like a pistol – a strawberry-filled pistol, but a pistol nevertheless -- he will be suspended from school and perhaps be compelled to undergo psychological evaluation. However, if a few years earlier, his mother had aborted him, those same degenerates would have given her a pat on the back and offered to pick up the tab.

Therefore, is it any surprise that a question that’s been plaguing me lately is: How can anyone successfully diagnose dementia in an aging liberal? I mean, what’s the tipoff? Do they suddenly wake up one day in their seventies or eighties and start making sense?
