The Mindset of the Left. By Thomas Sowell
Excerpt: When teenage thugs are called "troubled youth" by people on the political left, that tells us more about the mindset of the left than about these young hoodlums. Seldom is there a speck of evidence that the thugs are troubled, and often there is ample evidence that they are in fact enjoying themselves, as they create trouble and dangers for others.
From Jonah Goldberg, The Goldberg File
Speaking of the correct orientation of planets, I'm reminded of one of my favorite Al Gore anecdotes. In 1998, the Washington Post ran a picture of Earth from space. I can't remember why, but I think it was a picture from the international space station. The picture infuriated then-vice president Gore. He called the Post's executive editor to tip him off about the "error." "I decided I just had to call because you've printed a picture of the Earth upside-down." It didn't occur to Gore that, from space, there is no upside down.
Obama's Climate Joke About A 'Flat Earth Society' Actually Referenced A Real Grouphttp://www.businessinsider.com/flat-earth-society-to-obama-climate-change-speech-georgetown-2013-6#ixzz2XohSzFhQ
Excerpt: For what it's worth, the Flat Earth Society doesn't have an 'official' position on climate change. That falls a bit outside our remit. Personally, though, I believe the evidence available does support the position that climate change is at least partially influenced by human industrialisation. So if President Obama wants to reference people that actively deny anthropogenic climate change, he'd probably be better served by citing groups like the American Enterprise Institute rather than the Flat Earth Society.

Exchanging Medicaid For a Better Option. By Devon Herrick
Excerpt: Why is this important? Moderate-income families, doctors and advocates for the poor should care because private insurers pay doctors about double what Medicaid pays for the same service. Low provider reimbursement rates make it more difficult for Medicaid enrollees to find physicians willing to treat them -- limiting their access to care.
Obamacare Will Worsen the Physician Shortage. By Yevgeniy Feyman and Paul Howard
Excerpt: What many evaluations of the law miss, however, is the distinction between health insurance and health care. Close to 30 million people will receive the former under the law -- but the health care that these 30 million will receive can't be measured quite so easily. Health-system researchers have long noted that the nation faces a growing shortage of physicians across all specialties -- around 130,000 by 2025. Adding 30 million Americans to the insurance rolls will exacerbate access-to-care challenges; those with newly minted Obamacare insurance policies will likely struggle to find doctors willing to see them in a timely manner.

The News in Zingers. By Argus Hamilton
Excerpt: Harvard ran a poll which found that Fourth of July celebrations tend to turn children into conservatives. The survey really had to alarm educators. It just takes a fireworks show and a patriotic speech to undo a hundred and eighty days of public school education.
As Conservative Islam Rises in Indonesia
Excerpt: In a climate of increasing Islamization of the public sphere and a simultaneous expansion of an educated middle class, polygamy has both its ardent supporters and indignant detractors. “There is no such thing as a polygamous marriage that benefits women,” said National Commission on Violence against Women member Andy Yentriyani. … More worryingly, Nafsiah said that child marriages are increasing, which adds to higher maternal mortality rates due to immature reproductive organs.
Black Mob Picks On 'The Wrong Guy.' 'Knockout Game' results backfire when 'victim' is armed. By Colin Flaherty
Excerpt: DeAndre Felton and his crew had a problem: The mall was closed. The curfew in effect. But they were still high on drugs and wanted to have more fun. So they decided to beat someone up. Turns out they chose The Wrong Guy. They had just come from a local park where DeAndre and 15 others beat up two girls, sending one to the hospital with a broken arm.

Egyptian Protesters Criticize MB Rule and Obama Administration
Excerpt: Sixteen people were killed and hundreds were injured during weekend protests that reportedly drew millions of Egyptians to the streets. Many estimated that the protests were larger than the 2011 demonstrations that forced dictator Hosni Mubarak from power. Numerous media accounts describe the broad demographic base of the protesters, from young women to old men, from liberal secularists to conservative Muslims. ... More ominously, the Egyptian army gave Morsi a 48-hour ultimatum to negotiate some kind of resolution with the opposition or face what could amount to a coup, as the military promises to "announce a future roadmap and measures to oversee its implementation."
Muslim Brotherhood Rejects Army's Ultimatum: "The age of military coups is over," stresses Muslim Brotherhood member.
A senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and JusticeParty (FJP) rejected on Monday the army’s 48-hour ultimatum for politicians to settle the country's political standoff.
"Everyone rejects the statement of the armed forces," Yasser Hamza, a member of the FJP's legal committee, told the Al Jazeera network.

A Season for Treason. By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt: Set aside all the politics over the War on Terror and then ask what Bradley Manning, Julian Assange and Edward Snowden have in common. All three are arrogant and unstable men filled with aimless grievances and animated by the sense that they never received the things that they really wanted out of life. They are in short exactly the sort of people that foreign intelligence agencies recruit when trying to spot weak links in the security chain. ((Yeah, we are so intellectual and smart that concepts like treason as a really important and very bad thing are just way out of sync with modern thinking. That treason was despised, hated, and brutally punished belongs to the distant past. See, people felt that way about it because it was something that meant really hurting our society or at least putting us into very serious risk of very serious damage. Damage that meant lives and lots of property and ruined futures. Now we have elites who don't believe in such things, everything can be managed, and their interests will always be protected. Those of us who believe differently, who know different, are like those late era centurions worried about the Visigoths while the upper class has their feasts and slaves and the lower class has bread and circuses. --Del
Both sides lie, because they're concealing their real motives. By Jack Kelly
Excerpt: But the sharpest division in America
The "central cleft" in our politics today is "the widening gap between the government and the governed," said Democratic pollster Pat Caddell. (Interesting stats. Ten percent confidence in Congress... wow, that is very sad, yet from my point of view, a rating they have worked hard to deserve. The number of congresspeople who are actually trying to work hard to do good for their constituents and the nation, as opposed to following the Party line and also working at their re-election, is not small, tiny is perhaps the better adjective. And we all know it, and are unhappy about it, but get lousy choices in the whole electoral process. Maybe the Tea Party idea of throwing out all or most incumbents actually makes good sense. --Del
