Mitch McConnell is a disgrace and a sell out… but then again so is John Boehner. At least Harry Reid and Pelosi didn’t pretend to be conservative. The Republican leadership passes EVERYTHING Obama wants.

And when Ted Cruz calls out the lies— as usual, the progressive GOP RINOs attack Ted… as they do with ALL conservative members. They are annoyed that they just can’t annoit Jeb Bush and be done with it. …

Another short but deadly Froglegs by Joe Dan.

…memories of hopping on my J. C. Higgins bicycle and riding off to the nearby drug store. As you walked in the door the first thing you saw was the comic book rack. The high point of the month was when the newest comics came out. I’d take a dollar and buy 4 or 5 10-cent comics, a 10-cent bottle of Nehi strawberry soda and a bag of penny candy. Then it was off to find a shady spot to read, drink, and sink into a sugar-induced coma.…

Francis W. Porretto, Liberty's Torch • Mon 2015 Jul 27, 9:47pm

…This is on my mind this fine July morning due to a phrase I first encountered quite recently: “sundown segregation.” It refers to the natural human tendency to prefer the company of others like oneself when there are no overriding considerations (e.g., one’s occupation). … Political initiatives to combat that wholly natural tendency are, in a word, unnatural. … What too many good-hearted persons fail to realize is that the overt rationale for such initiatives is nothing more than a cover for the all-important covert motive: the desire of the power-hungry to assert absolute hegemony over every aspect of human life.…
