YES, BUT ... to what channel?
HISTORY: Secret atomic role of WWII-era aircraft carrier revealed.
A TALE OF TWO TRIBES: “Climate refugees” vs. EPA victims.

It's not a crisis if the government is responsible.
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, ObamaCare is creating more entrepreneurs.
HEH: Hillary produces her first pro-Trump ad.
DONALD TRUMP is the internet’s revenge on lazy elites.

Here's proof.
PREDICTION: Syria’s largest city and onetime moderate opposition stronghold of Aleppo WILL fall to the regime of Syrian president Bashar Assad in the next few weeks.
SPACE-X TO LAUNCH a Japanese telecommunication satellite and attempt another first-stage rocket landing on a barge in the Atlantic. However, they admit that they don't expect to succeed in the landing attempt:
Given this mission's (Geostationary Transfer Orbit) destination, the first stage will be subject to extreme velocities and re-entry heating, making a successful landing unlikely.
Here's hoping they succeed anyway.
CHOICES: "Great thing about the general election? America will be free to choose between a big government NY liberal and a big government NY liberal!"

Tweet of the Day from the Washington Examiner's morning newsletter.
POWERLINE ON HILLARY CLINTON: "The lady, if I may call her that, lies with the frequency, skill and conviction of a pathological liar."

#SOCIALISM: What it's like to eat in a country that's on the verge of collapse.

Socialism is a political system where everyone gets an equal share of nothing. I'm reminded (again) of this quote from Robert Heinlein:
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck.”
Vote for Bernie (or Hillary) and you, too, can have bad luck.
POT CALLS KETTLE BLACK: "Obama: Trump not 'equipped' to be president."
