Yesterday CNN and Tumblr co-sponsored a much-touted town hall with Hillary Clinton. The official subject was her new book, but the actual subject was her future presidential run. Undoubtedly one of the more cringeworthy moments to watch was when CNN Chief international Correspondent Christiane Amanpour asked Clinton about race:
The situation in Iraq is complicated. Getting foreign policy advice from Dick Cheney isn’t.
The irreplaceable Ed Kilgore surveys the wreckage of the GOP “rebrand” that never was.
Just as Bowe Bergdahl went from patriot-victim of Obama’s negligence to traitor-jihadist rescued by Obama, I’m seeing the first murmurs and rumblings suggesting that arch-Benghazi bad guy Ahmed Abu Khatallah may simply be a patsy in Obama’s great game of deception. It’s definitely not mainstream yet. But please keep your eye out if you see examples. And if you do, please send them along.
We’re looking for two sharp folks to join our team: an Associate Editor and a Front Page Runner. We’re growing and looking for great people to add to our team. Both jobs are based in our New York City headquarters.
If you have questions about either position, you can email me at our comments email address at the upper right. Just put “Attn Josh” in the subject line. But please read the listings first since they have most of the key details.
Fresh on the heels of the shooting of a BLM agent near the California/Nevada border by a “sovereign citizen” far right activist, Carbon County, Utah, has, I guess you’d call it, seceded from the BLM.
By a unanimous vote, the County no longer recognizes the BLM’s authority and any action within the county’s borders will be deemed an “AN IMMINENT THREAT” to its citizens. Of course, the BLM has been in the news of late because of the Bundy Ranch standoff, which the Carbon County resolution appears to be inspired by.
Interestingly, Carbon is known as a pretty Democratic county, as Utah goes. It voted for Bill Clinton twice and Barack Obama managed to get 45% of the vote in 2008.

Obama raids Redskins by weaponizing USPTO. Cancels Redskins logo! Free people will not tolerate a Kim Jong POTUS.
