DNC CHAIR DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: not ‘appropriate’ for Democrat candidates to challenge Hillary’s ethics. Well, yes -- the ethically challenged shouldn't challenge the ethically challenged.
FEMINISM'S COME TO THIS: Miranda's Warning.
NEW JERSEY WOMAN stabbed to death by ex while waiting for gun permit.

More: the deadly consequences of draconian gun laws.
LOOKING FOR THE PANIC BUTTON: Hillary's glide to the White House is looking more like United Flight 93.
#RUBIOCRIMESPREE: Now that the New York Times has exposed Marco Rubio’s checkered past, which features four — count ’em, four! — traffic citations since 1997, it’s only natural to wonder: What other terrible crimes has Rubio committed?
HISTORY: the ordeal of Omaha Beach. Are we deserving of the sacrifices made on our behalf?
NEW YORKERS ARE TOO DAMN FAT, ANYWAY: $15 wage could shutter 1 in 5 NY fast food joints.
UNEXPECTEDLY, OF COURSE: Murder rate skyrockets in Baltimore.

It's not just in Baltimore; it's nationwide.

PASS THE POPCORN: Challengers arise to the Dowager Empress of Chappaqua.
ANOTHER EXERCISE in 'statistics don't lie, but liars use statistics'. If the data doesn't match the desired outcome, change the data.

This is roughly the equivalent of Obama's reaction to the 2014 mid-term elections: he chose to listen to those who didn't vote.
CONGRESS SHOULD WAIVE THE NEW EPA RULE before zeroing its budget. And the next President should abolish the EPA.

I wrote about its 'protected water' rule in an earlier post here.
DARING TO DREAM AGAIN: Carly Fiorina and a tale of two magazine covers. If Fiorina makes it to the first Republican debate (I think she will), we may be seeing the first woman President of the United States.
THE WASHINGTON TIMES: D-Day Remembered. Here's another reminder from back in 2008.
AMMO GRRRLL takes a deep dive for potential Democrat campaign slogans.
UNHINGED: EPA about to make air travel more expensive.
