Mark Steyn notes the inept show of "power" trying to use social media to fight guns.
Just as the last floppo hashtag, #WeStandWithUkraine, didn't actually involve standing with Ukraine, so #BringBackOurGirls doesn't require bringing back our girls. There are only a half-dozen special forces around the planet capable of doing that without getting most or all of the hostages killed: the British, the French, the Americans, Israelis, Germans, Aussies, maybe a couple of others. So, unless something of that nature is being lined up, those schoolgirls are headed into slavery, and the wretched pleading passivity of Mrs Obama's hashtag is just a form of moral preening.

Benghazi until you spill the beans
Why do Republicans keep talking about Benghazi?
It works.
People are suspicious of government, and the Obama team's actions after Benghazi raised suspicions.
How to your relieve suspicions?
Information.
Which we are still waiting for.
Thus, more Benghazi talk.

Cotton picking
Powerline likes Rep. Tom Cotton's powerful speech about Benghazi - and not leaving a man behind.
Saving your people - instead of trying to save your political life.

Look at the eyes
The Anchoress sees a different story when she sees the eyes of the woman supposedly celebrating her abortion.
If you let yourself become distracted by what is coming from her mouth, you miss all that is revealed in her face, which tells the whole, and very different story. A month after the abortion — with the dramatic change in hairstyle that so many women effect when emotions are high and they need to feel in control of something — watch Emily, then. The light is gone from her eyes. The seeming disconnect between pc-fed head and instinctive heart is laid out in breathtaking and stark incongruity, even down to the shadows, the blue note, the lack of energy. Devastating. Cognizant of it or not, she is a mother in grief.
Matt Walsh has something for eyes prepared for the tough truth.

Bringing the tea to the party
An establishment backed candidate won the North Carolina senate primary.
Not a win for the Tea Party, but not a loss either.
Together, over the past two years, Tillis and McCrory have enacted a broad conservative agenda and pushed through some of the most ambitious legislative changes that any state has adopted in such a short period of time. The tax code got a rewrite, school vouchers were introduced, and an expansion of Medicaid was blocked. Tort reform, restrictions on abortion, and a voter-identification law were enacted. The moves so rankled Democrats that they began a weekly protest known as “Moral Mondays.” They garnered national attention as protesters were arrested week after week, prompting the editorial writers at the New York Times to declare the slew of legislative changes a “demolition derby.”
Maybe once he gets to Washington, Tillis can teach the establishment how to do things right.

Not going Gaga
Due to the Wizards' postseason success, they had a conflict with a Lady Gaga concert set for May 15.
The concert has been moved three days to May 12.
Guess the Verizon Center thought it was a slam dunk decision.

We're deeply disappointed, too
Here's a surprise - President Obama is deeply disappointed in us.
Can we be deeply disappointed in him?
He doesn't seem to see a reason why.
He can't even admit the most trivial alleged flaw. He's apparently attempting to remedy this alleged flaw, but can he just say, "You know, perhaps I didn't use enough tools from the social toolbox in the past, so I'm working on that now," he still has to claim "Nah, bro, I did plenty of that. (But now I'm doing more.)"

Still part of the Obama army
Democrats are trying to win in 2014 by trying to hide their party status.
Mark Pryor really wants to hide his Washington friends from his Arkansas voters.
They can run, but can't hide.

War on women - economy edition
With the poor economy, more adult children are moving back in with their parents.
Who's doing the cooking, cleaning and shopping?
Mom.
Women have less leisure time - and do more housework - due to the Obama economy.
Can we get the country growing so these women can relax more?

The bang is big
A nice analysis of why "Big Bang Theory" thrives.
A chance to catch up on the past seasons helps.
After TBS started airing episodes in syndication in 2011, Big Bang “just exploded even more,” says Vebber. In the first 12 weeks of syndication, the show’s broadcast ratings rose 21 percent. This is likely due to TBS’s relentless promotion and generous scheduling—the cable network airs Big Bang in blocks five days a week.

I'll have a steak
The Wall Street Journal has new diet advice - eat steak and use butter.
Our half-century effort to cut back on the consumption of meat, eggs and whole-fat dairy has a tragic quality. More than a billion dollars have been spent trying to prove Ancel Keys's hypothesis, but evidence of its benefits has never been produced. It is time to put the saturated-fat hypothesis to bed and to move on to test other possible culprits for our nation's health woes.

Fox Butterfield, is that you?
Best of the Web has an almost daily feature - a liberal contradiction that's not really a contradiction.
CNN's David Gergen approaches the territory.
But it has now become equally puzzling why he has not become more sure-footed in foreign affairs. He is one of the brightest men ever to occupy the office, and yet his learning curve has been among the flattest.
Maybe he's not as bright as you think he is.
You say he's bright, but do his actions match?

Shell game
Obamacare supporters love to tout that it was passed by the House and Senate, and approved by the Supreme Court.
How it was passed by the House and Senate may doom it.
In October 2009, the House passed a bill that would have modified a tax credit for members of the armed forces and some other federal employees who were first-time home buyers — a bill that had nothing to do with health care. Two months later the Senate “amended” this bill by obliterating it. The Senate renamed it and completely erased its contents, replacing them with the ACA’s contents.
Case law establishes that for a Senate action to qualify as a genuine “amendment” to a House-passed revenue bill, it must be “germane to the subject matter of the [House] bill.” The Senate’s shell game — gutting and replacing the House bill — created the ACA from scratch. The ACA obviously flunks the germaneness test, without which the House’s constitutional power of originating revenue bills would be nullified.
If the Senate didn't follow the law, will the Court put them back on track?

First Saturday in May
Taking the dog for her morning walk, I caught the hint of a scent of charcoal burning.
Fishersville's Boy Scouts were preparing chicken for their monthly fundraiser.
Driving around, there are tons of yard sales.
Is everybody paying taxes on their outside earnings today?

You lied to win re-election
The focus on Benghazi drives liberals crazy.
It's nothing.
It's a distratction.
What difference, at this point, does it make?
The difference is distilled into five words -
You deny the inquiry as partisan, while your defense is purely partisan.
You fuss that Bush lied before going into Iraq - and don't get bothered that the Obama team lied for days.
It's why the focus remains - waiting for the real truth.
No matter how long it takes, dude.

Baby, the rain must fall
The big news of Wednesday was the collapse of a retaining wall in Baltimore, sending several cars into the main cargo rail line going through downtown Baltimore.
Thursday brings the finger pointing.
City and railroad officials offered few answers Thursday about what happened, why complaints went unaddressed and who was responsible for the integrity of the retaining wall that collapsed.
Maybe you can use tax money to hold up century-old walls, instead of hoping they hold.

How does Blue Virginia attack the Benghazi news?
Highlighting "there was nothing more the military could have done."
Which shows they weren't prepared for what happened.
If they had been prepared, more could have been done.
The statement makes the Obama team look worse, not better.
