Morning Briefing: Rush is Right!!

Today's Sponsor

Rush Is Right This morning at 6:15 am ET, I will be on Fox & Friends. The kicking off point for the conversation is Rush Limbaugh's comment that the Confederate flag is just the starting point for a leftwing assault on American culture at large. The left is led by a President who himself has said our nation is not really special. After all, every other nation thinks it is special too. In Colorado, black protestors have burned the American flag. Ironically, it was the American flag that Dylann Roof burned too. Both groups find it to be oppressive and imperialistic. Last night, Louis Farrakhan wondered why black people pledge allegiance to the American flag because they get no justice. In California, public schools banned students wearing the American flag on clothing to avoid offending immigrants. The University of California at Irvine's student government considered banning displays of the American flag on campus. But it is not about the flag. Read More

The Case for Mike Flynn A large group of conservatives around the country is proud to support Mike Flynn for Congress in Illinois. It is a special election and Mike is the only conservative running. He would be a major upgrade. If you are wondering, not sure, have questions, or want to know more, Ace of Spades has a very detailed piece outlining the case for Mike Flynn. Folks — you always ask what you can do for the cause. Here's what you can do. Support Mike Flynn. Read More Sponsored

Scott Walker Extends the Middle Finger to the Enemies of America I understand that Scott Walker is not a perfect Presidential candidate. I understand that his initial foray into dealing with the national press was less than ideal and I haven't been crazy about his blatant pandering on immigration. I also understand that he lacks the rhetorical flair and stage appeal of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). BUT. And this is a big but. Scott Walker for all his flaws knows how to extend a giant middle finger to the anti-American left and he isn't the slightest bit shy about doing it. Read More

Tweet of the Day, People Who Believe In The Southern Strategy Meme Are Just DUMB edition Pretty much that's what it comes down to. Being dumb. Note, by the way, that Reagan still won all the states there in the map below except Georgia and West Virginia. Then again, he was in a winning state of mind that election cycle, which is why he wracked up 489 Electoral Votes in 1980. Read More

Sponsored The obligatory "White Americans are terrorists" fundraising scam In the aftermath of Brian Williams's demotion from NBC News to MSNBC, presumably NBC management felt that a fabulist would improve the quality of a network staffed by idiots, liars, and rascist, one would have thought that some interest would be shown in ensuring that the stories they run are actually grounded in fact. But one would be wrong. For instance: White Americans Are Biggest Terror Threat in U.S.: Study Read More

POLITICO's Michael Crowley tries to convince us Obama is one tough hombre There is virtually no one left on the planet that believes the Iran nuclear deal is anything other than a huge fraud designed to allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. The White House has basically stopped denying the substance of the deal. The AP is running a story on the secret annex to the agreement that requires the P5+1 to provide Iran with nuclear technology while Iran refuses to allow inspections or provide an accounting for its current and former facilities. This would be the same deal the Senator Bob Corker succeeded in getting passed. So when that Iranian nuke arrives, you know who to thank. Read More
