THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen. -George Orwell

FOOTBALL Q & A WITH MARCO RUBIO

In his new TV ad, Marco Rubio catches footballs and fields questions on a range of topics. The minute-long spot is actually a shortened version of a video the campaign released in September, just ahead of the second Republican debate.

THREE MARTINI LUNCH: MAY 7, 2015

National Review's Jim Geraghty and Radio America's Greg Corombos discuss current events. Today's Martinis: A federal appeals court rules against NSA cell-phone monitoring, the White House lowers the cone of silence over its Pacific trade deal, and the official report on "Deflategate" doesn't look good for Tom Brady.



NSA ruling puts pressure on McConnell
Sens. Patrick Leahy and Mike Lee are calling on Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to bring up an NSA reform bill this month now that a court has ruled the program is illegal.
"The dragnet collection of Americans' phone records is unnecessary and ineffective, and now a federal appellate court has found that the program is illegal," Leahy and Lee said in a statement. "Congress should not reauthorize a bulk collection program that the court has found to violate the law. We will not consent to any extension of this program."
Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, is the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee while Lee, a Republican from Utah, heads the GOP's Steering Committee.
The two are co-authors of the USA Freedom Act, which adds significant restrictions to the government's controversial telephone surveillance program that was authorized in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The House is scheduled to take up the measure next week, where it is likely to pass with bipartisan support, but in the Senate, the future is less certain...

THREE MARTINI LUNCH: JANUARY 19, 2015

National Review's Jim Geraghty and Radio America's Greg Corombos discuss current events. Today's topics: Hawaii Democratic representative Tulsi Gabbard hammers the Obama administration for obfuscating on radical Islam, Obama preps more tax hikes, and a deflation scandal threatens the New England Patriots.



Surprise: Obama Prepares 'Defiant' State of the Union
At times, one can only sit back and marvel at the fact that this man successfully marketed himself to the electorate as a pragmatist at heart and a would-be healer of sundry societal and political divisions.  Barack Obama's background, associations and voting record (such as it existed at the time) clearly demonstrated that he'd lived his adult life as an entrenched ideologue -- the type of person of whom voters are typically suspicious. So he molded his message to elide and disguise his core character.  He did so with the complicity of much of the media and has proceeded to allowed the mask to slip further and further as his presidency wears on.  As the president prepares to address the nation in his first State of the Union Address since the midterms' landslide Republican victories, White House sources say he'll adopt a "defiant" posture:
President Barack Obama will strike a defiant tone for dealing with the new Republican-led Congress when he addresses Americans next week in his State of the Union speech, laying out areas for potential compromise but ceding little ground to his opponents. Obama's speech at 9 p.m. EST next Tuesday will be the clearest statement yet of his vision for his final two years in office, with both houses of Congress controlled by Republicans for the first time since he took power six years ago...But much like a White House meeting Obama held on Tuesday with congressional leaders, he is not expected to offer major concessions, in keeping with his pledge to act where he can on his own through executive actions and identify areas where the two sides can work together."
The GOP won a sweeping victory in November following a heated campaign in which Obama played a starring role...as the antagonist.  The president has reacted to the people's decisive verdict by inaccurately suggesting that the election results don't reflect broader public sentiment, and by telling aides that he finally feels "liberated" to aggressively pursue the liberal agenda explicitly rejected by voters.  So a combative national address is par for the course.  Obama will reportedly roll out a series of tax increases on "the rich" in order to redistribute their wealth via tax credits and "free" programs for others.
The president has raised taxes throughout his presidency (with Obamacare acting as a key vehicle); in 2013, he exploited the prospect of automatic and massive across-the-board increases to corner Republicans into agreeing to $600 billion in tax hikes on wealthy Americans as part of the fiscal cliff deal.  Now he's coming back for more, hyping gimmicks such as the expansion of the death tax on certain families, as well as taxing college savings accounts.  Americans for Tax Reform tabulates the total of this round of requested tax increases at $320 billion.
The White House knows full well that these ideas stand zero chance of passage.  Republicans didn't just get elected en masse to raise taxes and play along with Obama's cynical class warfare games -- which is precisely what they are:
