With the refugee crisis ongoing at our southern border, the left is trying to turn the United States into the world’s orphanage, something that has never been done on any scale in the United States before. I’ll tell you in the podcast what we should be doing with the kids flowing through the border. While the federal government is encouraging parents in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador to send their kids hundreds of miles through desert to get to the United States, a mother in South Carolina was arrested for leaving her 9-year-old child at a park to play while she was just trying to make a living.
Israel continues to receive rocket fire from the Palestinian controlled territories, so they are defending themselves. Being a humane country, Israel warned 100,000 civilians in Gaza to evacuate. Being a bunch of animals who hate Jews more than they care about their own citizens, Hamas told them to stay.
Secretary of State John Kerry gets a little “uptight” when hearing talk about American exceptionalism. I’m a little “uptight” about him representing us as chief diplomat.
Uber has eliminated what they call “surge pricing” over allegations of “price gouging.” Today I’ll tell you how the government engages in the same pricing schemes with toll roads, and how the same thing would actually be good for people during a drought in California. Basic economics are hard for statists.
A new NSA whistleblower says that their goal is total “population control.” It’s not just the NSA; it’s the totalitarian impulse of government at all levels. The USDA wants to have things like talking grocery carts to “nudge” people to eat healthier and some scientists are thinking about genetically engineering humans to not eat meat, and therefore to be “greener.”
The Obama Administration is trying to set up an economic Berlin Wall to force businesses to stay in the country, and they’re calling it “economic patriotism.” That term terrifies me, and it should you too.
A woman claims to have been arrested for recording police activity in New York City. I would say you should always record interactions with police.
Deion Sanders and other black celebrities are pushing for school choice. The fact that the GOP is not standing shoulder-to-shoulder with them shows how much of a joke the GOP is.
Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is pushing for the federal government to nationalize student loans, and to give them out at no profit to the government. Look out for Warren; she has the potential to at least push the debate to the left in 2016 for the Democrat nomination.
A pot shop in Colorado is trying to prevent competition from coming in. It’s wrong to use the power of government to stop competition, whether it is at the federal or local level.
A TSA agent stopped a reporter from Washington, DC because the agent didn’t know that the District of Columbia is in the United States.
Republican Senators are introducing a bill banning employers from blocking access to birth control for their employees. This is not the same as forcing them to pay for it.
A road in Yellowstone National Park is melting from the heat of a supervolcano located underneath the park. This is the big one that could actually wipe out half the country.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter wants to tax lap dances at strip clubs, but a judge ruled against him.
Justin Verlander didn’t make the baseball All-Star Game this year, but don’t feel bad for him. He took the break to go on vacation with Kate Upton, including putting sunscreen on her backside.
A Connecticut man was arrested for stabbing a watermelon.
A couple was arrested for having sex on the roof of a Chipotle restaurant.
If you’re using a blowtorch to kill a spider, you’re doing it wrong.
Lay’s has a few new potato chip flavors. Seriously? Cappuccino?
Smelling flatulence can keep you healthy. So next time somebody complains to you about the smell, just let them know you’re doing them a favor for their health.
Next time, don’t check under your kids’ beds for monsters; look for meth heads.
This Week’s Sign of the Decline of Western Civilization: You can now own a toaster that will burn your selfie into every piece of toast you make. I weep for the future.
