“With Jews We Lose” candidate in Kentucky spoke yesterday at University of Kentucky Constitution Day.
You kind of have to see this video. If nothing else it shows the fine line separating right-wing propaganda and SNL skits. It’s James O’Keefe’s report proposing we create a border wall across the Great Lakes to keep out ISIS terrorists bringing in Ebola, ricin or other biological threats. As I said, you just have to watch it. But the central element is O’Keefe’s friend dressed up in an ISIS uniform as the two grown men role play the incursion onto American soil.

A week ago I saw this piece in The Nation which picked up on a Chris Matthews rant about how defense and security of the “homeland” has become a commonplace phrase in the year’s since 9/11.

TPM has just confirmed that Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has ordered that absentee ballots for overseas military personnel be shipped out immediately without the name of any Democratic candidate on them.
This is a seeming reversal from Kobach’s earlier stated plan to delay the issuance of those ballots until Democrats submitted a new nominee.

Pat Roberts (R-KS). Kobach, for his part, has been trying to thwart that plan. His political motives are about as thinly veiled as Dems’ were in getting their nominee out of the race in the first place.
