IS THE PRESIDENT incompetent -- or lawless? Personally, I'm mindful of the aphorism to never attribute to malice that which can be explained by mere incompetence, but ... Obama truly makes me wonder. Here's why.

REP. STEVE KING (R-IA) reignites the impeachment debate the Democrats so desire.

Personally, I'm firmly convinced that Obama has already committed impeachable offences, and is fully intending to commit more. But politically impeachment is out of the question, so Republicans would be much better off committing to win the 2014 mid-terms, blocking Obama's excesses between 2014 and 2016, and preparing legislation to restore America for the next Republican president to sign.

POETIC JUSTICE: The 'Cornhusker Kickback' may be the closed-door deal that will eventually kill ObamaCare.

DRONING NEW YORK: Drones outpacing rules as popularity soars in New York.

The real problem, of course, is the FAA's bureaucratic insistence on absolute control of everything that isn't firmly attached to the ground.

SOON, I HOPE: When will Americans tell the nanny state nags to get a real life?

AND IT'S NOT A GOOD ONE: Social Security's new report has a clear message.

COMPARING President Obama to Jimmy Carter is an insult to Carter. Yes, Carter is about to lose his spot as the worst U.S. President in history. He can, however, rest easy that his place as the worst President in the 20th century will remain secure.

WESTERNERS ARE FLOCKING TO IRAQ’S TOP TERROR GROUP — and there seems to be very little we can do about it.

Hogwash. We can and should revoke their citizenship, deny their return to U.S. soil under any circumstances, and kill as many as possible on the battlefield.

SHUT UP, HE EXPLAINED: Obama tells America’s CEOs to quit complaining about those stifling regulations.

HEH: Now that Richard Dawkins is attacking Muslims and feminists, the atheist Left suddenly discover he’s a bigot.

JUAN WILLIAMS: GOP has become almost a completely white party. Umm, Mia Love? Elaine Chao? Ben Carson? Tim Scott? Herman Cain? Allen West? Bobby Jindal? Nikki Haley? Susanna Martinez? These are Democrats?

I'm always surprised when the Democrats try this particular race card, since I can easily name a dozen or so non-white Republicans. When asked about non-white Democrats, the only two that come easily to mind are Rev. Al and Jesse Jackson.

The other thing I've noticed over the years is that the non-white Republicans are Americans first, and their ethnicity is second (if at all). For the Democrats, it's ethnicity first, then American (maybe).

PEJMAN YOUSEFZADEH: Some Might Call It “Racism”. Methinks that Yousefzadeh is a bit naive; racism is standard operating procedure in Democrat politics.

INSTAPUNDIT: "You know, between this and all the affirmative-action stuff, I’m beginning to think that Democrats don’t much like Asians."

That's because Asians don't make good victims.

ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES: Public 'servants' acting as public masters.

Actually I think the lede should have been written as 'Wannabe masters masquerading as public servants'.

TERROR STUDY GROUP finds 'sovereign citizens' and 'militia/patriot groups'” among greatest threat to U.S.

Note that the report is from a University consortium; not from any entity that deals with actual terrorism.

Progressives are truly frightened by anyone unwilling to submit to their 'enlightened' control.

D.C. COUNCILMAN AND FORMER MAYOR MARION BARRY involved in a wrong-way automobile crash on Pennsylvania Avenue. Barry has been going the wrong way for years.....

YES, LET'S MAKE SURE Detroit goes bankrupt:

1000 WORDS:

At a rally for Hamas in Washington D.C. on Saturday.

"Disgusting" is too kind a word to use for this....

NASA validates 'impossible' space drive.

Much more from Jerry Pournelle, who is rightfully still skeptical.
