Rich Lowry wonders how the current march of immigrants toward Germany is going to end.
Inevitably, Merkel’s policy will act as an enormous magnet to refugees and migrants. If the alternative is living anywhere outside the advanced West, even in those places not riven by civil war, who wouldn’t choose the wealthy colossus of Northern Europe and it’s generous welfare system?

Tripped up by his mouth
Ace looks at the newest blast from Donald Trump's mouth - and whether that will slow his momentum.
And while Trump seems to either have a problem with women (how long did he spend attacking Megyn Kelly, versus how long did he spend attacking Chris Wallace?) or is simply unburdened by the Middle Class Respectability code of gallantry towards women, It is making a very large and influential block of people absolutely disgusted by him, repelled by him not a political level (which could always later be finessed or papered over) but on a personal level (which can never be repaired).
And.
He.
Won't.
Stop.

Living in zombie world
NRO explains how liberals would fare in a zombie world.
As I lay out in the latest edition of the print mag, Zombie World is a pretty darn conservative place. The government’s going to fail, you better grab your guns, and don’t even think about trying to build some kind of utopia out of the ruins – because utopias always die in fire and blood. Pajama Boy has to man up and learn to fight with an AK, a Katana, or a crossbow, or Pajama Boy is going to be breakfast.

Lots of questions, no good answers
Ron Fournier has the questions.
Does Hillary Clinton have any decent answers?

Her own worst enemy
The Morning Joe crew struggled this morning.
Why does Hillary Clinton's campaign keep making the same mistakes as 2007?
But wait, the campaign staff is different.
What's the same between 2007 and now?
The candidate.
They can't easily admit she is the problem.
The truth hurts.

For your sleeping needs
Donald Trump is so helpful.
If you're having trouble sleeping, he has a cure.
We know Jeb's crew is having trouble sleeping.

What to watch for - right now
Larry Sabato and friends look at the race right now.
What about the rumbling, bumbling, stumbling leader among Democrats?
Consider this: As long as the email mess doesn’t sink her, Clinton could lose both heavily white Iowa and New Hampshire, and still have a fairly unobstructed path to the nomination because of her mighty position with women and minorities. This is true even if Vice President Joe Biden enters the race.
This is not to say Hillary can’t find a way to blow it. Her inept early campaigning and bungled handling of the email controversy underline the inadequacies that helped Obama beat Clinton in 2008. But beating Hillary in 2016 would be much tougher than it was last time.

Guess he was hungry
Back at my former newspaper, word of an arrest after a guy stole over $2000 in meat.
You have to be pretty hungry to use that much meat.
You have to be pretty hungry to use that much meat.
Hillary, your time is up
DaTech Guy sees no way out for Hillary Clinton.
Hillary’s position is impossible and untenable if she stays and nearly impossible or untenable if she goes, the only thing she can definitely do, if she so chooses, is to try and take the Obama’s down with her. While that might have a certain appeal it’s not something her loyalists, whose true loyalty is to the money & power she provides, are likely to go for.
Normally there is always the wild card of republicans doing something stupid enough to save her but with Trump playing the shield for the entire GOP field the media can’t change the narrative in time to save her.

Help them settle in

He can also advise them on getting good deals on furniture.

Can any Democrat beat Trump?
Survey USA has a new poll with Donald Trump beating all the Democratic candidates.
It's now September.
The Republicans will have another debate soon, and Joe Biden will have to decide if he's in the race before the month ends.
It's going to be an interesting month.

Puppets or con-artists
Donald Trump has a major complaint about politicians - they ask for campaign donations, and thus must follow the wishes of donors.
Like he was a donor for many years.
Powerline questions the effectiveness of the strategy.
Trump has been unable to back up his slander of his opponents in the presidential field with specifics. About the best he’s done is to say that Scott Walker gave him a plaque in appreciation for his support for his gubernatorial campaign. In Trumpian terms, I think this makes Trump a sucker.
If politicians aren't puppets of the rich, are they con-artists?
Making nice to multiple people to get money for campaigns, then ignoring the donors when in office.
Will donors learn they are being taken?

Why the rage continues
DaTech Guy looks to why vitriol continues to flow toward Kim Davis.
It wasn’t the licences for gay couples to wed that they wanted, it was her submission to the religion of liberalism on the altar of gay marriage in fear and terror, it was the willingness to toss away Christ for the comfort of her home. It was her declaration that resistance to the new order is futile.
The supporters of Gay Marriage have likened their movement to the civil rights movement, yet it’s Kim Davis, their opponent that has gone to jail for doing what many Black Pastors were unwilling to do in 2012, braved public scorn for Christ.
No wonder the left is so angry.

Oldie and a baddie
NRO examines Hillary Clinton's need for help with basic essentials for living.
Amidst the e-mail revelations, an alarming pattern is developing about Clinton’s personal dependency on those inside her inner bubble. She isn’t just delegating important tasks to underlings, as any executive might; these aren’t urgent matters of national security, such as aides’ fetching satellite intelligence or the latest reports relevant to a managing executive. Rather, it appears that Hillary is either helpless or unwilling to perform even the most menial and trivial of daily tasks.
She needs your vote.
And a drink.
And help finding her shows.

It's a gas
Filled up for the Labor Day weekend at the local Fishersville gas station, which featured gas for $1.95/gallon.
And the usual fall dip in prices may still be ahead.

Can Trump insult Rush?
I wondered if Donald Trump might be tripped up by Hugh Hewitt at the next debate.
Hewitt has a reputation for asking tough, intelligent questions to find out what candidates really know.
Trump went on Hewitt's show Thursday and came out calling him a third-rate host.
Why?
Hewitt asked specifics about the Middle East, not just generalities.
Hewitt is well-respected for his lines of questioning.
And when Trump is challenged, he offers putdowns.
When he finally decides to talk to Rush Limbaugh, will Trump offer insults to questions when he stumbles?
The Republican establishment wants to find a way to slow Trump's momentum.
Maybe Rush is their only hope.

Enjoying the Carson surge
Rich Lowry finds Dr. Ben Carson's surge to the top refreshing.
Ben Carson stands for something different. His personal story shows how true class isn't about riches, but about character. Donald Trump has all the finest things and I'd hazard to guess barely as much class as Ben Carson's penniless mother struggling to raise her sons had in her pinky.
Carson may not ultimately have the political pull of Trump, who is more mediagenic and can potentially spend much more money. Yet, if conservatives want to flirt with an unconventional candidate, Carson provides the opportunity to do it without a guilty conscience.

Why are those two countries the biggest exporters of refugees?
What's gone on over there in the past six years?
Can we find answers in Hillary's email?
Might be worth a look.

Pointy-haired Secretary of State
You'd probably get in trouble with Dilbert's Scott Adams, but someone should draw Hillary Clinton with hair like Dilbert's boss.
The emails don't paint a portrait of a heavy thinker - just someone totally relying on her staff to get through the day.
Maybe the brilliant, omnicompetent Hillary Clinton of myth never existed. Maybe she is nothing but an empty pantsuit who rode her husband’s coattails to an utterly unmerited position of power. Certainly there is nothing in her official email traffic to suggest the contrary.
