AWESOME AIRCRAFT from the Paris Air Show.

76% OF AMERICANS are living paycheck-to-paycheck. No surprise. You need only read the comments to understand why. It isn't poverty.

JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME: PayPal goes galactic.

FIVE SIGNS Obama is losing control. Here's a sixth.

THE IRS, OBAMACARE, AND YOU.

Only ... where are you? And your doctor?

Nowhere in the chart do the words doctor or patient appear—as clear a sign as any that ObamaCare is not about health care; it’s about government power.

More about the IRS, ObamaCare and You here, here, here, and here.

FAILURE DENIERS: Climate Change and Public-Sector Science.

If a new idea or product is failing or initially seems destined to fail, bureaucrats, their corporate beneficiaries, and their cronies work to get them underwritten or subsidized. The fact that the government is even involved likely indicates that the private sector knows better than to touch it without putting taxpayers on the hook. This explains why the Obama administration has had losers like Solyndra, A123 Battery, Beacon Power, and so many others in its energy “loan” portfolio.

And in his Georgetown University speech, Obama just 'doubled down' on failure.

SLATE: Why White People Don't Feel Black People's Pain. So George Zimmerman, a 'white Hispanic' who is "8 times as black as [Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth] Warren is Native American" is now a 'white person'?

Having been discovered, the racist Left is in full attack mode.

THE WEEK IN PICTURES. Here's a sample:

BLUE STATE MAYOR bolts from Bloomberg’s anti-gun crusade.

I was amused by Mayor Morrissey's "police can't be everywhere" comment. He's right. In Mayor Bloomberg's America, they're busy providing security details for bigwigs.

DUMBOCRAT DEMOCRAT WANTS TO amend the immigration bill to allow 'stateless people' in the U.S. to seek conditional lawful status if their nations have been made uninhabitable by climate change.

There oughta be a law against aggravated aggravating stupidity.

MICHAEL WALSH: What is it you [the Obama administration] want us [conservatives] to do? Right: die.

IT'S OKAY to be homophobic if you're a member of the Angry Left.

HOW CRAZY ARE DEMOCRATS? Tea Party Republicans are more of a threat than al Qaeda.

CHARGES DROPPED against kid who wore NRA shirt to school. The judge either had a 'sanity attack' or realized he was about to be hammered in the media. I suspect the latter.

MUCH MORE from the racist (and/or incredibly stupid) Left.

I NOW KNOW why my spare magazines and front sight have been delayed. It's for a good cause.

"JUST REMEMBER that 'social justice' has no intrinsic meaning apart from 'what we want'.”

WE'RE WATCHING YOU. We're all watching you:

MSNBC TALKING HEAD proves she's racist. Or incredibly stupid. Take your pick.

OPEN LETTER to Virginia Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine:

I urged you to VOTE NO on the immigration reform bill. You chose to ignore my concerns as eloquently expressed by your colleague, Sen. Ron Johnson. The Senate bill you passed is a complex, pork-laden mess that cannot possibly secure our border -- as any sovereign nation must do to survive.

I had hope that Democrats had learned their lesson in the aftermath of ObamaCare. Obviously you have not, and having voted as you did, I must reluctantly conclude that you are unworthy of the office to which you have been elected. I will vote against you if/when you seek reelection.

I can now only hope that your colleagues in the House of Representatives will reject the monstrosity you have created, and offer a serious, staged series of bills that will first, secure our borders; second, provide legal pathways foreigners to come to the United States to visit, live, and work legally; and only then address the problem of those who have come to live in the United States illegally.
