So much happening [~3K unread e-mails accumulated], so little space to distill it [its past midnight].

To provide a bit of stability prior to launching this summary of the days events, listen to vintage patriotism, manifest as a 50 year-old commercial against socialized medicine by Ronald Reagan and the parsing of the meaning of every word in the Red Skeltons Pledge of Allegiance by Red Skelton. Then note the action-items that permeate this notification, for the GOP must MANIFEST its conservatismwith particular regard to defunding ObamaCare and blocking the Senate Immigration Reform legislation.

Scandal-Sheet Yesterdays claim by BHO that the myriad scandals being scrutinized in the House [alas, not in the Senate] are phony belies the profound nature thereof and, of course, besmirches the memory of fourdead-americans. IRS. As the IRS-Chief-Counsels-Role-in-Tea-Party-Targeting-was-Under-Scrutiny, it was alleged that the IRS Intervened in Tea Party Elections. NSA. In still ANOTHER affront to personal privacy, Feds-told-web-firms-to-turn-over-user-accountpasswords. Regarding the NSA-Surveillance Program, Pelosi-led Ds salvaged it from the libertrianleaning Rs; Mike Fitzpatrick voted in favor of the Amash-Conyers Amendment which would have curtailed the blanket collection of phone records by the NSA and, although it didnt pass, he observed that its strong bipartisan support should put BHO on-notice about the very serious concerns Americans have about the expanse of government agencies like the NSA. Opponents to NSA-surveillance [including Rand Paul] were dubbed the-september-10th-caucus because, allegedly, they were pining for the world of diminished terrorism; meanwhile, quietly, a-different-amendment-restricting-nsa-spying-waspassed-overwhelmingly-by-the-house. It is vital to recognize that these events could serve as a precedent for undermining the-hastert-rule if/when immigration reform is conferenced [vide infra]. AG-Holder. Ignoring the Supreme Court Ruling, holder-wants-texas-to-clear-voting-changes-with-the-us and, in response, the texas-ag was defiant; this entire effort was tethered to trayvon-and-voter-id. Generic Corruption. The Republican Party says it will boycott the July 25th nomination hearing for Obama's pick for Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, because he is being investigated over allegations that he "used his current role as director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services" to obtain "investment visas for a Chinese firm linked to Hillary Clinton's brother"; according to The Hill, Senate Homeland Security Committee ranking member Tom Coburn (R-OK) said "it makes no sense to hold a nomination hearing" for Mayorkas until these issues are cleared up. But Committee Chairman Tom Carper (D-DE) said the hearing will go forward anyway. Meanwhile, a GOP Bill Dissolving Fannie and Freddie was Backed by a House Panel, the homeland-securitys-inspectorgeneral-charles-edwards-was-found-to-be-under-investigation-for-law-violations, and the gopthreatened-to-subpoena-epa-over-pollution-studies. Benghazi. During an interview with Hannity, Rep. Issa announced that a seriously-injured American who was deeply involved in both attacks [the Ambassadors compound and the Annex] will testify in the fall;

he was recovering-at-walter-reed; a story about one benghazi-victim-[glen-doherty] was aired on FNC., as pressure mounted for appointment of a Benghazi House Select Committee [despite Holdouts].

Domestic Affairs Polling. Fox-poll-found-BHOs-approval-rating-among-independents-tanking-to-only-25%, along with overwhelming recognition that Americas worldwide standing has been severely compromised during the past half-decade; it was also revealed that BHO prevented College Republicans from attending his speech 'For president's protection,' lest they hear him exclaim that ho-chi-mihn-had been-inspired-bythe-united-states-constitution. Detroit. As the State OKed a new Detroit arena for Red Wings, charles-krauthammer-invoked-steinslaw to explain why its demise had been inevitable. Weiner. As weiner-slipped-from-front-runner status, he Hinted-there-may-be-More-Salacious-Material. FEMALE DEMOCRATS HAD BEEN SILENT ON SEX SCANDALS and charlie-rangel-had-not-initially-felt- heshould-withdraw [although feeling-really-really-bad-for-huma-abedin], Democrats-Begin-To-Waveron-Weiner-To-Stay-In-Race. After huma-abedin-defended-weiner, it appeared that ~90% of the populace felt she diminished respect for both her husband and herself; as alternate-theories-of-humaabedin were spun [basically, claiming often that she was an Enabler], a Senator called for further investigation into her double-dip income. BEN SMITH DEFENDED BUZZFEED OUTING WEINER SEXTING PARTNER, while details-about-sydney-leathers-[woman-who-was-latest-victim-of-anthony-weinersexting-scandal] emerged, including the claim from her mother that Weiner not be elected.

ObamaCare. As the disastrous effects of ObamaCare have already hit NY, Rep. Jim McDermott (DWash.) compared those who oppose it to the South in the Civil War saying, This is Gettysburg, this is the big battle and after this the Civil War was pretty much down hill for the South; thats really whats happening here for the forces against ObamaCare. Why the AARP so vigorously supported this slash to Medicare has been elucidated by recognizing, for example, that ObamaCare-will-raise-premiums-a-lot; although the senate-is-divided, there was strong acceptance of the need to Eliminate-ObamaCareFunding ASAP.

Economy. The WSJ CLAIMED BHO IS WORST PRESIDENT FOR MIDDLE CLASS 'IN MODERN TIMES'; for example, Two Food Stamp Recipients are Added For Every Job 'Created,' and even WaPo's Milbank has finally decided BHO Has a Lifeless Economic Agenda. Immigration Reform. The internal tug-of-war within the GOP has been manifest through reaction to the comments of Congressman Steve King who, as noted in an earlier blast, had expressed willingness to deal with amnesty for the children of illegals only after the border had been secured; because he skewered some Hispanics as drug-runners, he was unjustly skewered by Jonathan Tobin [[T]he cultural basis for opposing the legislation (as opposed to the reasoned approach taken by Kristol and Lowry) that is drenched in prejudice is the real driving force behind this debate.] and Presser-Carney plus the House GOP-leadership [Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Speaker John Boehner]. This is HUGE, because the latter individuals have chosen to ignore the dictum The Devil is in the Details by, instead,

claiming that all opponents are know-nothing xenophobes. That the NSA-defunding amendment was raised on the House Floor is precedent-setting, for this overt violation of the-hastert-rule could recur if/when immigration reform is conferenced [vide supra], a recognized goal of REP. GOODLATTE. Meanwhile, under-reported [as usual] were prejudicial comments made by the FLOTUS to-la-raza: Hispanic-kids-more-obese-less-active and the deportation of an illegal after he had been convicted criminally 37-times. Martin/Zimmerman. A george-zimmerman-juror-now-claims-he-got-away-with-murder; she also concurred with everyone else that there was no racism, that the jurors responsibility was to base a decision on facts, and that the stand your ground law hadnt been a factor. Nevertheless, a demcongresswoman-introduced-a-bill-to-cut-funds-to-stand-your-ground-states and harry-belafontedemanded-florida-repeal-its-stand-your-ground-laws-during-sit-in-at-capitol; it was revealed that BHO had Co-Sponsored Stand Your Ground in Illinois. Although POLITICO'S SIMON CLAIMED OBAMA'S TRAYVON SPEECH PREVENTED RIOTS, surveys showed Race relations have plummeted since BHO took office; indeed, although the afl-cio-claimed-racism-remained-deeply-rooted-in-american-society, charles-payne-claimed-BHO-would-love-to-see-civil-unrest-in-this-country-resembling-the-arab-spring, for this would rev-up the troops prior to the mid-term elections. Media. CNN-Disgraced-Itself-more-than-any-other-news-outlet, which may explain why CNN'S PRIMETIME DOMINANCE OVER MSNBC SLIPS. 'NOBODY CAN TELL YOU WHY' THEY ADMIRED HELEN THOMAS, for courageous pundits are divulging The Ugly Truth. Libs.

Foreign-Affairs

Israel. As it became apparent that Israel and the Palestinian Arabs were to launch talks Tuesday, Indykwas-claimed-to-be-A-disastrous-choice-for-mediator. The forces-at-play were depicted as Hawks, Doves and Ostriches; the latter was illustrated by the claim that BHO should recognize that, regardless of the location of any final borders with a future Palestinian state, Jerusalem would remain Israels capital. As Israelis "Fought Back" Against Anarchists and Arab Extremists in Hebron, 15 were injured by stone throwing in Jerusalem, and MP-moshe-feiglin decried the-deliberate-destruction-of-the-temple-mount. Although anti-semitism-[now manifest by roger-waters] runs rampant, Archaeologists unveiled King
David's palace.

EU. Methods have been explored regarding how to respond to EU sanctions, and some have even
claimed it would be wrong to blame the EU; in response thereto, Yaalon-ordered-a-freeze-in-permits-forEU-projects-in-West-Bank-321084, as the cufi-confab-pushed-halting-all-us-funding-for-palestinians.

Palestinian Terrorist Groups. Although Tobin was misguided on the Immigration Reform issue [vide supra], he wisely debunked the claim that this terrorist group could be a stabilizer. Meanwhile, a former-fatah-leader-sued-abbas-for-intimidation as Fatah Honored Terrorist for Murdering 61 Israelis. Egypt. Egypt issued Arrest Warrants Against Muslim Brotherhood Leaders; meanwhile, BHO halted delivery of F-16s to Egypt as unrest continued, in behavior recalling Carters misguided idealism when approaching the Shah. The House limited military involvement in Egypt [and Syria], necessitating that BHO deliver a speech explaining his goals. Afghanistan. Problems-in-US-justice-program-have-been-noted-in-Afghanistan. Islamism. Sharia-law-in-lebanon-was-manifest-when-a-muslim-who-honor-beat-his-wife-to-death-wasreleased. Meanwhile, in Tunisia, after an Opposition Leader was Shot Dead, Protests Erupted. Meanwhile, in florida, another-public-school-board-was-under-fire-for-using-a-history-textbook-thatpromoted-islam-to-the-virtual-exclusion-of-every-other-religion. Iran. franklin-graham-attacked-BHO-for-remaining-silent-while-iran-tortured-an-american-pastor, saeed-abedini; it was also alleged that washington-has-had-a-secret-history-with-the-muslimbrotherhood.
