Good morning from Washington, a town crammed with the kind of elites Victor Davis Hanson ably eviscerates in his latest column. Across the fruited plain, California continues its streak of incompetence, and Washington State can’t let a Christian florist live and work in peace. Jarrett Stepman sighs over the former, and Alliance Defending Freedom’s John Bursch weighs in on the latter. Plus: Lauren Evans and Kelsey Bolar talk about women and socialism, and Daniel Davis interviews Ambassador Sam Brownback on the podcast. |

Thursday, June 13, 2019 Latest Polling and Dems 2020 Update On Tuesday, Quinnipiac released a poll in which “several Democratic challengers lead President Donald Trump, with former Vice President Joseph Biden ahead 53 – 40 percent.” Quinnipiac Last Thursday, Democratic candidate Joe Biden “declared that he no longer supports a long-standing congressional ban on using federal health care money to pay for abortions.” This came days after his campaign had indicated he supported the ban. AP News On Monday, “Biden told lobbyists and donors at a fundraiser… that Republicans in Congress ‘know better’ than to align with President Donald Trump and declared that Wall Street bankers ‘can be positive influences in the country.’” Wall Street Window On Tuesday, Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg gave a speech on foreign policy. C-SPAN From the Left The left is encouraged by the polling, continues to be critical of Biden, and offers thoughts on Buttigieg’s speech. “Especially bleak is the fact that Trump’s approval rating is more than a dozen points underwater in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa — all states he won in 2016. Of course, a lot can change between now and November of next year. And in fairness to Trump, it is true that state-level polls underestimated his support in 2016… It’s undeniable, however, that the 2020 polling, taken in its totality, doesn’t look good for Trump right now.” Aaron Rupar, Vox “The head-to-head polling doesn’t really tell us much about events 18 months in the future, but it does tell us there’s no counterintuitive process whereby Trump secures the votes of tons of people who say he’s doing a bad job as president… The public is mostly saying they want to vote for any Democrat, and the strongest pattern so far indicates better-known Democrats do better than the more obscure ones… Rather than being either complacent or paralyzed by fear, Democrats should probably take a modest amount of reassurance from Trump’s bad polls and try worrying about everything else for a minute.” Matthew Yglesias, Vox Many argue that, “Biden is wrong to imply that if only Trump is gone, Republicans in Congress will immediately negotiate with a Democratic president in good faith. In fact, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) brags that he will continue to be the ‘grim reaper’ and destroy any legislation from a Democratic president, while promising to further pack the Supreme Court if a vacancy arises during an election year… Biden and Democratic candidates for the presidency, House and Senate should run against the hugely unpopular ‘grim reaper’ McConnell and the Trump Republicans in Washington.” Brent Budowsky, The Hill “Does Biden believe in his own powers of persuasion? Or is he attempting to woo prized Obama-to-Trump voters, not to mention upscale white suburbanites reported to be appalled by Trump’s behavior?… But there’s another crowd this stuff appeals to as well, a group that would rather not discuss the economic issues that contributed to Trump’s victory. That would be the donor class of the Democratic Party… “There’s lots of evidence to suggest that Biden really does think he brings unique skills at bipartisanship to the presidential table. He did make deals with the Republicans aplenty in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. But they were deals like the Hyde Amendment and bankruptcy ‘reform’ that made life harder for people in financial trouble or struggling with student debt, though not for the wealthiest. If members of the Democratic donor class are putting their faith in Biden, it’s hard to blame them. The real question is whether voters will continue to support Biden as it becomes clearer and clearer that his promise of bipartisanship is simply another, more politically palatable way of saying that the rich will continue to come first.” Helaine Olen, Washington Post Regarding Buttigieg’s speech, some argue, “He is an heir to Obama’s cautious and intellectual worldview—except that while Obama was, at heart, a realist influenced by the writings of Reinhold Niebuhr and the actions of Brent Scowcroft, Buttigieg is more motivated by values. Buttigieg is, at heart, a liberal internationalist who is looking beyond interventions to challenges posed by great powers, bridging the gap between the Obama and Clinton wings of his party. He fears that, left untended, threats to liberty abroad will ultimately threaten liberty at home. Buttigieg still has a lot of work to do to unpack what this means, but if he sticks to it and is bolder than he was on Tuesday, he may be able to articulate the alternative he promised.” Thomas Wright, The Atlantic Others contend, “Buttigieg wants to set a generous narrative of national identity against Trump’s cramped and cruel vision, and against the progressive hostility to any national identity at all. It won’t be easy. He speaks of the compassion of his Indiana neighbors toward refugees, their desire to be part of ‘a greater project’ than just America First. But the strongest political emotions of the moment are fear, disillusionment, and hatred. As impressive as he is personally, Buttigieg hasn’t yet found the words, the music, and the policies to make his appeal convincing.” George Packer, The Atlantic From the Right The right is skeptical of polls this early in the campaign, and offers thoughts on Biden’s candidacy. Regarding the Quinnipiac poll, “I’m skeptical these numbers would actually be representative of the general election. According to the poll, Trump would barely edge out Biden among white voters, 47% to 46%. In 2016, Trump beat Hillary Clinton by 20 points among white voters — and this was not unheard of. Mitt Romney beat the Obama-Biden ticket by 20 points among whites in 2012, and John McCain won whites by 12 points in 2008… “Quinnipiac [also] found that Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., would get within eight points of Trump among white voters… Not since 1996, when Bill Clinton came within two points of Bob Dole, has any Democrat come within single digits among whites. It’s just hard to see Harris having the best performance among whites in 24 years running against Trump, who has built his successful electoral career around white identity politics.” Philip Klein, Washington Examiner “We are 17 months away from the election. At this point in the 2016 election season, polls showed Hillary Clinton ahead of Trump by huge margins… An Associated Press poll published on 10/25/16, two weeks before the election, gave the race to Clinton by 13 points, the same margin that Quinnipiac gives to Biden today.” Elizabeth Vaughn, RedState “Iowa Democratic voters have seen and heard much more from the contenders than almost any other state, and thus are much less likely to base their preferences largely on name identification. For Biden, that hasn’t been a good thing… The state’s ideological lean also hampers Biden. Sixty-eight percent of 2016 Democratic caucusgoers were liberals, according to the entrance poll. That’s bad news for Biden, whose national lead rests on moderate voters. There are simply many fewer potential Biden voters in the state than there are in the nation as a whole. This places organization at a premium, as it is crucial for him to turn out every last potential vote… If Biden can’t win in Iowa, he’s unlikely to be able to catch up later.” Henry Olsen, Washington Post Some argue, “The only Democratic candidate with real national stature is former Vice President Joe Biden… [But] Biden has always been a weak, self-destructive candidate and he is still a weak, self-destructive candidate. From defending the Chinese, to sniffing people’s hair, to plagiarizing others, there is a ‘Bidenness’ that plagued his first two campaigns for president and will probably destroy this one. If Biden does fade – and recent Iowa polls certainly make this possible – the Democrats will have no national candidate.” Newt Gingrich, Fox News Others contend, “Biden’s decision to change his position [on the Hyde Amendment] is actually something [abortion supporters] should welcome — because it is a tribute to the power they hold. Pro-lifers loved George H.W. Bush when he flip-flopped, and just look at the behavior of evangelicals in relation to Trump on social issues. Making converts out of politicians is what activism is all about. Punishing someone for joining you is politically insane, even for people who often seem politically insane. The truth is that Biden is running a nearly perfect campaign in the early going based on one implicit message: I can beat Trump, because I can speak to his voters and I’m not a crazy socialist like some of these other folks.” John Podhoretz, New York Post Still others point out that “a recent NPR/Marist poll finds only 18 percent support third-trimester abortion. Yet every [Democratic] senator running for president voted against a bill requiring doctors to help infants who survive a late-term abortion. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) says there’s no room in the party ‘for a Democratic candidate who does not support women’s full reproductive freedom.’ That’s slamming the door on a majority of voters… “The Democratic contenders are espousing policies few Americans support and giving moderate and conservative members of their own party the cold shoulder… Democrats eyeing the White House need to get real. By writing off moderate and conservative members of their own party, they’re boosting Trump’s chances of reelection. Then again, Trump’s reelection may be the gut punch that brings the Democratic party back to its senses.” Betsy McCaughey, National Review On the bright side… A massive Krispy Kreme flagship store is opening in Times Square, complete with a glaze waterfall.

LARRY J. SABATO’S CRYSTAL BALL
IN THIS ISSUE: – Senate 2020: The Primary Challengers SENATE 2020: THE PRIMARY CHALLENGERS No incumbents lost in 2014, 2016, or 2018. Who might be vulnerable in 2020? By Kyle Kondik Managing Editor, Sabato’s Crystal Ball |
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE — The postwar renomination rate for Senate incumbents is 96%. That’s a little bit lower than the rate in the House. — However, no senators have lost renomination in 13 of the last 19 elections. So recent history does not necessarily suggest that there will be even a single Senate primary loser. — A few senators appear to face challenges that could threaten them. — Primary upsets could change the general election odds in some key races. Map 1: Senate seats contested in 2020 The Senate primary calculus The last time this current crop of senators, Class II, was up for election, in 2014, no senators lost their primaries. This represented a change from the previous two cycles, which featured significant primary upheaval, particularly on the Republican side. In 2010, three incumbent senators lost renomination in races all featuring odd circumstances: Sen. Robert Bennett (R-UT) may have won an actual primary, but he finished third at a party nominating convention, meaning he didn’t get to advance to a primary. Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) feared a GOP primary, so he switched parties, but then he lost in the Democratic primary; Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) lost the Republican primary, but then prevailed as a write-in candidate in the general election. Two years later, Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) lost his primary, which allowed Democrats to capture the seat. An anti-incumbent sentiment on the Republican side contributed to some soft results for incumbents in 2014, but every challenger came up short. Still, Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) only narrowly survived a primary runoff, and several other Republicans turned in underwhelming performances. Sens. Pat Roberts (R-KS) and Lamar Alexander (R-TN) won less than 50% of the vote, and Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and John Cornyn (R-TX) won less than 60% (none of these incumbents faced strong challengers and all benefited to at least some degree from splintered opposition). Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), then the Senate minority leader and now the majority leader, had to work hard to defeat outsider businessman Matt Bevin, although McConnell would win going away, 60%-35% (Bevin is now governor of Kentucky and he and McConnell have made amends). An appointed Democrat, Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii, also had a very tough primary. Still, all the incumbents won that year, and in 2016 and 2018 as well. Every senator winning renomination in a given year has become fairly common: in 13 of the last 19 federal election cycles, no Senate incumbents have lost renomination. A couple of weeks ago, we looked at the primary picture in the House. House members hardly ever lose primaries — incumbents who run have a better than 98% winning percentage in the post-World War II era — but usually there are at least a few members who lose primaries in any given year. The topline victory percentages for incumbent U.S. senators seeking renomination are almost as lofty. Since the end of World War II, about 96% of Senate incumbents who have sought to be nominated have won renomination. The year-by-year history is shown in Table 1: Table 1: Postwar Senate renomination rates |
Sources: Vital Statistics on Congress, Crystal Ball research Technically, an incumbent senator did lose renomination recently, albeit in an irregularly-scheduled special election that is not included in these overall statistics: appointed Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL), who lost to former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore (R) in a 2017 special election primary runoff. Moore would go on to lose to now-Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) in the special general election. Republicans currently have 19 incumbents running for renomination and reelection, while Democrats have only 11. So far, there is some primary action on both sides. Let’s start on the Democratic side, where Jones faces a challenge. Earlier this year, state Rep. John Rogers (D) made some incendiary comments on abortion that drew the ire of many, including Jones (Rogers later got in a back and forth with Donald Trump Jr. and said the president’s son should have been aborted). Rogers also said he would challenge Jones in a primary. Rogers has yet to file with the Federal Election Commission but has suggested that he has received a half a million dollars in campaign pledges (whether this is truly the case remains a mystery). So it’s hard to know how serious of a challenger Rogers is, but it does represent another headache for Jones, who already faces an uphill battle to win a full term. Jones is white while Rogers is black; the primary will occur concurrently with the presidential primary on March 3, 2020, and the electorate will be majority African American. But Jones also really hasn’t done anything to draw the ire of Democratic primary voters, black or white. Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) may face the most significant challenge on the Democratic side at this point. Labor lawyer Shannon Liss-Riordan (D), who led a class-action lawsuit against rideshare giant Uber, is challenging Markey; so too might Steve Pemberton (D), a successful business executive who endured a difficult childhood in the state’s foster care system. Again, it’s not obvious Markey will be in trouble, although a recent Boston Globe/Suffolk University poll of the state’s presidential primary showed him at just 44% on a ballot test, somewhat weak for an incumbent (Liss-Riordan and Pemberton each had 5% support while 45% were undecided). An earlier poll, conducted late last year by UMass Amherst, showed Markey struggling in matchups with bigger-name potential opponents than the ones he has now. So there’s some softness there. The Massachusetts Senate primary won’t be until Sept. 15 of next year, while the presidential primary will be March 3, so there’s plenty of time for Markey’s opponents to try to chip away at him. The incumbent could benefit from facing split opposition, as there’s no runoff in Massachusetts. Another Democrat who has a primary challenger is Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), who is being challenged by newly-elected state Rep. Anne Stava-Murray (D). Stava-Murray has been critical of state Democratic Party leadership, and she refused to support long-serving state House Speaker Mike Madigan (D). If Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) was going to face a tough primary, it probably would’ve been last cycle, when she was running as an appointee; she won the remainder of former Sen. Al Franken’s (D-MN) term last November and is running for a full term in her own right next year. Speaking of Franken, he is still sitting on a $2.6 million warchest and seems to be getting antsy to try to re-enter the political fray after his resignation over inappropriate behavior toward women, although there’s been no indication he’s seriously pondering a new campaign. Finally, New Jersey law allows Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) to run concurrently for reelection and on the presidential ticket, although his presidential bid has not reached top-tier status thus far. Booker shouldn’t have much trouble getting renominated in any event if he does indeed run for Senate. On the Republican side, it may have seemed at the dawn of Donald Trump’s presidency that the aforementioned Lindsey Graham (R-SC) would be in major primary trouble, given that many conservatives were already suspicious of him before he became a major Trump critic during his own run for the GOP nomination in the 2016 cycle. But something funny happened after Trump got elected: Graham turned into a devoted ally of the president and became the chief defender of embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh during Kavanaugh’s ultimately successful confirmation battle last year. South Carolina Republicans have noticed and applauded Graham’s change: According to Winthrop University’s polling, Graham’s approval with Republicans and Republican leaners has risen 33 points in just a year, moving from just 41% in February 2018 to 74% in March. At this point Graham appears well-positioned for renomination. A couple of 2014’s weaker performers, Sens. Pat Roberts (R-KS) and Lamar Alexander (R-TN), can’t lose primaries next year because they are retiring. Thad Cochran (R-MS) died two weeks ago after resigning due to poor health early last year; his replacement, Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), won her special election primary and general election last year with the backing of President Trump, which she likely will be able to call on again if she has any credible challenges as she seeks a full term in 2020. Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) both seem to be in fine shape. McConnell does have a challenger, former state Rep. C. Wesley Morgan (R), but the majority leader doesn’t face the kind of opposition from outside conservative groups that he did in 2014. Probably the most significant Republican Senate primary challenger so far is businessman Garland Tucker (R), who is challenging Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC); Rep. Mark Walker (R, NC-6) is also apparently considering a challenge. Tillis appeared to please no one earlier this year when he wrote an op-ed opposing the president’s emergency declaration at the southern border only to change his mind and vote against a subsequent Senate resolution disapproving of the declaration. Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE), a sometimes Trump critic, also backed Trump on the declaration after expressing some skepticism about it, although it’s less clear whether he’ll face a real challenge. Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) probably helped shore up her right flank with her support of Kavanaugh’s confirmation last year, but she has a primary opponent, Maine Republican Party State Committee member Derek Levasseur. The other Republican running for reelection in a state won by Hillary Clinton in 2016, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), has already endorsed Trump for reelection, perhaps as a way of warding off a primary challenge (no one credible seems to have emerged as of now). Finally, appointed Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ) does not yet appear to have a major primary challenger, but Senate appointees don’t have the same power of incumbency that normal incumbents do (ask Luther Strange), and Arizona Republicans can be a rambunctious group. McSally may or may not end up having a free pass to the general election. One would think that a Trump endorsement would largely seal the deal for any of these GOP incumbents, although that ended up not being the case for Strange in 2017. There is the possibility that some of these primaries could change the general election calculus: If Republican incumbents such as Collins, McSally, or Tillis were to lose a primary, it could hurt the party’s chances in the general election. The same is true for Jones — he’s the only Democrat who could hold the Alabama Senate seat, and even then he faces a difficult task. Unlike in the House, where we can be reasonably confident at least one and probably more than one incumbent will lose his or her primary, the recent history suggests that we shouldn’t be surprised if every Senate incumbent wins renomination next year. None of these Senate incumbents seem to be in obviously major trouble. That said, Markey (D-MA) and Tillis (R-NC) probably should be taking their primaries the most seriously at this early point.

Group Releases the Most Egregious Examples of Congressional “Pork-Barrel” Spending While Congress thinks of new ways to spend non-existent government money every day, and then complain that the tax-cuts are to blame for the national debt, it may be time to take a look at where some of that money is going. From Alex Pappas at Fox News: “An anti-government waste group has identified millions of taxpayer dollars allegedly frittered away on ‘absurd nature-related earmarks,’ including $9 million to ‘quarantine fruit flies’ and $13.8 million to ‘manage wild horses.’ Those revelations are inside the 2019 Congressional Pig Book released Wednesday by Citizens Against Government Waste. That report identifies what it describes as egregious examples of pork-barrel spending in Congress, drawn from fiscal 2019 appropriations bills. This year, the group said it identified $15.3 billion in earmarks, an increase of 4.1 percent from the $14.7 billion last year. ‘Pushing pork does not drain the swamp and it won’t restore integrity to Washington,’ Tom Schatz, the president of Citizens Against Government Waste, said in a statement. Schatz wrote in an op-ed for Fox Business Network that ‘perhaps the most flagrant earmark’ this year is $16.7 million for a research organization called the East-West Center, added by Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii. ‘His earmark represents the center’s entire budget, keeping it alive even though its counterpart, the North-South Center, stopped receiving federal funding in 2001,’ the group’s president said. ‘The East-West Center should be able to stand on its own without taxpayer support as well.’ The report identifies other pricey earmarks, including $65 million to help recover Pacific Coastal Salmon, $12 million to control aquatic plants, $7.9 million to purchase fish screens and $863,000 to eradicate brown tree snakes in Guam.” Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders gave a speech at George Washington University yesterday laying out how genius Democratic Socialism is, only to belie his points with fallacies and flat-out lies. Chrissy Clark points out his top breaks from reality at The Federalist: “‘We Now Have an Economy That Is Fundamentally Broken’ Not to bore you with charts and facts, but U.S. gross domestic product growth for the last quarter was an estimated 3.1 percent and recovery from the slow economic growth in 2016 remains steady. The unemployment rate as of May 2019 is at 3.6 percent. The United States hasn’t seen low unemployment rates like this since 1953. Sanders says GDP rates and unemployment rates have nothing to do with understanding how good the economy is. According to Sanders, the data and statistics used to gauge the well-being of world-wide economics is not an adequate reflection of the American economy. I must ask then, what data and statistics should we use to understand the economy? We can’t use a make believe feelings-meter to decide how the American economy is doing. The facts are in, and the economy has been wildly, record-breakingly successful under President Trump. ‘The Average Wage Is No Higher than It Was 48 Years Ago’ This statement was a flat out lie. I’m not sure if Sanders gets his data from the same place he gets his ideas, but they’re both crazy. The national average wage index, which measures changes in U.S. wages over time, was $50,321.89 in 2017, while the national index 48 years ago in 1969 was $5,893.76. This does not account for inflation, so I did the math for you. The average wage index in 1969, while factoring in inflation, was $43,682.69 in 2017 dollars, for a 48-year span. That means Americans today on average earn approximately $6,639.20 more than they did 48 years ago. Sanders is $6,639.20 from being accurate, which is not a small number.” Weekend Reading Hong Kong’s extradition protests are an essential stand.

Good morning,Economic confidence may be slipping a bit.The
latest Job Creators Network/ScottRasmussen.com Weekly Pulse shows that
48% of Americans now rate the economy as good or excellent. This is the
first time that number has fallen below 50% since the government
shutdown in January. Additionally,
34% now believe the economy is getting better while 28% say it is
getting worse. Over the past two weeks, the number saying the economy is
getting worse has also been the highest since the government
shutdown.We will be
watching carefully in the coming weeks to determine if the declining
confidence is a temporary blip or the start of a lasting trend.On a different topic, perceptions of the tariff threats and recent deal with Mexico depend upon what people expected to see. Thirty-four
percent (34%) of voters believe the threat of tariffs led to a better
deal for the United States. However, 35% disagree and 31% are not sure.Republicans,
by a 59% to 15% margin, believe the tariff threats helped. Democrats,
by a 57% to 19% margin, disagree. Independent voters are
evenly divided–27% say they helped, 30% say they didn’t, and 40% are not
sure.Looking ahead,
if the Mexican government does not help the United States reduce illegal
immigration, 42% believe the United States should again threaten to
impose tariffs. Thirty-eight percent (38%) disagree.Finally, my weekly syndicated column looks at the Twin Pillars of Health Care Reform. Broadly
speaking, voters have two concerns. Defensively, they want to make sure
that Congress doesn’t make a bad situation worse. That’s why 78% of
voters want any reform to specifically provide protection for people
with pre-existing conditions.Beyond
that, however, voters want more control over their own health care
decisions. And, in practical terms, that means they need more choices.
Sixty-five percent (65%) think health insurance companies should be
required to offer a variety of health insurance options. Those options
would include more expensive plans with comprehensive coverage and less
expensive plans that cover only basic health care needs.Thank you for your interest in our work,Scott

REALCLEARPOLITICS
06/13/2019 Share: Carl Cannon’s Morning Note Biden in the Middle; Fear and 2020; Miranda Rights By Carl M. Cannon on Jun 13, 2019 07:56 am Good morning, it’s Thursday, June 13, 2019. On this day in 1966, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a controversial 5-4 decision expanding the Fifth Amendment so that criminal defendants had to be represented by a lawyer and also be advised by arresting police officers of their right to remain silent. Failure to do this would result in a suspect’s confession being inadmissible at trial. The historic case considered by the Earl Warren-led court was called Miranda v. Arizona, and it would play a role in the election of Richard Nixon as president two years later. I’ll have more on the legacy of Miranda in a moment. First, I’d point you to RealClearPolitics’ front page, which presents our poll averages, videos, breaking news stories, and aggregated opinion columns spanning the political spectrum. We also offer original material from our own reporters and contributors, including the following: * * * Biden’s Balancing Act Is Getting Much Tougher. Charles Lipson weighs in on the former vice president’s need to appease party activists without alienating swing voters. Why the 2020 Election Is About Fear of the Future. Myra Adams dissects Pew Research Center data along with other unsettling findings. CNN Focuses on Trump’s Health, But Says Biden’s Is Off-Limits. Kalev Leetaru cites numbers from the Television News Archive. Dems Must Prioritize Welfare for Americans, Not Border Crossers. Cora Mandy applauds the president’s efforts to ensure benefits are directed to U.S. citizens ahead of illegal immigrants. Out of the Layoff Ashes: Issues & Insights. Anneke E. Green spotlights the new journalism endeavor staffed by several members of the team that for years wrote editorials for Investor’s Business Daily. In Praise of George Will’s “Conservative Sensibility.” RealClearMarkets editor John Tamny reviews the commentator-and-columnist’s new book. To Shrink Government, Invest in a Smarter Congress. In RealClearPolicy, Zach Graves and Kevin Kosar hail a number of proposed reforms. Meeting Counterterrorism Objectives in Afghanistan. In RealClearDefense, Francis X. Tailor lays out several strategic options available to U.S. policymakers. * * * Born in Mesa, Arizona, Ernesto Miranda had been in trouble with the law since he was in the eighth grade. His rap sheet included three sex offenses. After being dishonorably discharged from the Army, where he spent a third of his time behind bars, Miranda drifted out to Los Angeles, met a woman named Twila Hoffman, moved back to the Phoenix area with her and seemed to have settled down. At least that’s what his lawyers initially believed: Miranda’s conviction was chosen as a test case by the ACLU, in part, because he was indigent, uneducated, and Mexican American. In March of 1963, however, Miranda was arrested at home in the middle of the night by Phoenix police on suspicion of kidnapping and raping an 18-year-old mentally challenged girl. Although Ernesto fit the victim’s physical description of her attacker, she could not identify him in a lineup. But after being interrogated on little sleep for two hours without benefit of counsel, Miranda confessed to detectives. He was booked, tried, and sent to prison. His conviction was appealed, and three years later the Warren Court expanded Fifth Amendment protections in a 5-4 decision. Earl Warren authored the majority opinion himself. “The cases before us raise questions which go to the roots of our concepts of American criminal jurisprudence,” wrote the chief justice. “At the outset, if a person in custody is to be subjected to interrogation, he must first be informed in clear and unequivocal terms that he has the right to remain silent. For those unaware of the privilege, the warning is needed simply to make them aware of it — the threshold requirement for an intelligent decision as to its exercise. More important, such a warning is an absolute prerequisite in overcoming the inherent pressures of the interrogation atmosphere.” The opinion went on to say that suspects must be apprised of their right to an attorney and that, complying with earlier decisions of the Warren Court, if a suspect could not afford a lawyer, one would be appointed for him. To Richard Nixon, such decisions were partly to blame for a violent crime rate that burgeoned out of control in the 1960s. Their “cumulative effect,” he said while launching his 1968 presidential campaign, “has been to very nearly rule out the confession as an effective and major tool in prosecution and law enforcement.” Most cops felt the same way; so did a majority of the voters, who elected Nixon president. To the “Silent Majority,” Ernesto Miranda was nothing but a predator, and the Phoenix police officers who took him off the streets were heroes. In hindsight, who was right? First of all, let’s stipulate that Nixon wasn’t exaggerating the violent crime explosion in this country — and that Ernesto Miranda was not a sympathetic defendant. He was a rapist and a thief and a liar, and at his retrial he was convicted again, this time on the strength of his common-law wife’s testimony. (While incarcerated, the hapless prisoner had confessed to Twila while instructing her to convey a message to the victim: He would marry her if she’d decline to testify against him. Not surprisingly, Twila instead relayed this information to prosecutors.) Paroled from prison, Miranda was knifed in a Phoenix skid-row bar during a 1976 card game. He died on his way to the hospital. Although he wasn’t mourned by anyone, one of the suspects, a Mexican national, was apprehended — and promptly advised of his “Miranda” rights. And that’s the larger point. Law enforcement learned to live with Miranda — and to perform its job more fairly and effectively. As far as Americans learning to accept controversial Supreme Court decisions, well, that it still a work in progress. Carl M.

Man Flees the United States to Escape $30,000 in Student Loan Debt Prof Who Helped Popularize Microaggressions Now Says Not Everything is a Microaggression VIDEO: Campus Reform Interviews Professor Jacobson About the Gibson Bakery vs. Oberlin Case
William Jacobson: “PUNITIVE DAMAGES WATCH — We
should get a punitive damages verdict in the Gibson’s Bakery v. Oberlin
College case this afternoon. Keep checking the website.”
Kemberlee Kaye: “Imagine if the GOP tapped Alex Jones to moderate a debate. That’s basically what Democrats have done here.”
Leslie Eastman: “It turns out #FakeNews isn’t confined to covering President Trump. One
article that was share widely over social media had North Korea’s
leader Kim Jong Un feeding a general associated with the Hanoi Summit
failure to piranhas. A Seoul-entrepreneur who is an expert on Korean
matters warns that much news related to North Korea should be treated
with skepticism.”
David Gerstman: “Stacey Matthews blogged about The New York Times’ decision to stop publishing political cartoons in the wake of a cartoon depicting Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu as a seeing-eye dog leading a blind President Trump. Stacey noted that “Prof. Jacobson said after its
publication, ‘The clearly antisemitic cartoon run in the NY Times is an
example of how these anti-Israel antisemitic themes have worked their
way into the mainstream media.’” One of those most upset about the Times’ decision is Patrick Chappatte, one of the regular cartoonists for the NYTimes. Chappatte is a marginally talented cartoonist who makes up for his lack of artistic ability with plenty of predictable left wing outrage. But for Chappatte to act outraged is ridiculous. The Times still intends to employ him in some capacity even though he portrays Israel as firing on civilians. But worse than that, in 2015, prior to Netanyahu’s address to Congress he drew acartoon depicting Congress as being a new Israeli “settlement.” As I noted on Twitter, “Neo-Nazis refer to US government (or Congress) as ZOG (Zionist Occupation Government) which is literally the theme of the Chappatte cartoon.” If the Times were serious about eliminating anti-Semitism from its pages, it would end its association with Chappatte. After all Chappatte is part of the problem.” Vijeta Uniyal: “In an historic move, India has voted in favor of Israel at the United Nation. The Indian representative at the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) supported an Israeli motion against granting observer status to a Palestinian non-governmental organization linked to jihadi terrorist groups Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.” Legal Insurrection Foundation is a Rhode Island tax-exempt corporation established exclusively for charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code to educate and inform the public on legal, historical, economic, academic, and cultural issues related to the Constitution, liberty, and world events.

Bernie’s insane disconnect with economic realities and the way Americans view them Posted: 13 Jun 2019 04:51 AM PDT Senator Bernie Sanders is detached from reality. I didn’t realize it until today when I learned he told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that a lot of people would be “delighted” to pay more in taxes if it meant free healthcare. Here’s the full quote: “Yeah, but I suspect that a lot of people in the country […] The post Bernie’s insane disconnect with economic realities and the way Americans view them appeared first on Conservative Christian News. |

Internal boards show ‘Dr Pizza’ debated Ars Technica staff about legalizing child porn Posted: 13 Jun 2019 01:35 AM PDT One America News is one of the few large outlets covering the sordid tale of “Dr. Pizza,” the Ars Technica journalist who has a history of defending child sexual abuse publicly.
