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

THREE MARTINI LUNCH: APRIL 23, 2015

National Review's Jim Geraghty and Radio America's Greg Corombos discuss current events. Today's Martinis: The Clinton Foundation is forced to refile taxes, accusations that donations to the foundation influenced a major uranium deal, and the State Department's tendency to give awards to foundation donors.



Will the Clinton-Cash Scandal Doom Hillary's White House Bid?
How should one think about the unfolding allegations rocking the Clinton-Industrial Complex (which includes both her campaign and her foundation)?
By now, you may have heard about Peter Schweizer's book, Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich. The book isn't even out yet, and Clinton's team is already sheltering in place like Churchill's cabinet during the Blitz. That's in part because Schweizer, a conservative author and dogged investigative journalist, has teamed up with the notorious right-wing rags the New York Times and the Washington Post to essentially re-report and expand on allegations made in the book.
Because it would be absurd to claim that these papers are part of the "vast right-wing conspiracy" - which won't stop flacks from saying it - they are much better equipped to drop the payload over the target.
Even Lawrence O'Donnell, a Democratic water-carrier of such sterling reliability that he makes Gunga Din look like a slacker, had to concede on MSNBC's Morning Joe that the Clinton campaign no longer has a Schweizer problem. It has "a New York Times problem."

THREE MARTINI LUNCH: APRIL 8, 2015

National Review's Jim Geraghty and Radio America's Greg Corombos discuss current events. Today's Martinis: Rand Paul runs for president to defeat the Washington machine, the Russians hack the White House, and more sexism charges from Planet Hillary.



Rand Paul slams media on abortion: Ask Dems if it's okay to kill a 7-pound baby in the womb
And this is no idle tu quoque. The great majority of Americans oppose late-term abortion; the vast majority, maybe a unanimous majority at this point, of Democratic leaders support it without restriction. They are, without exaggeration, absolute fanatics on this subject. And proudly so.
Obama feels no differently. Neither does Nancy Pelosi, who's gone as far as to use the word "sacred" when discussing her feelings on this topic. Paul's response should be a stock answer for any GOP candidate who gets a question on a third-rail social issue going forward: We'll weigh in just as soon as Hillary Clinton does.
Want to know what Marco Rubio thinks about abortion exceptions? No problem - just as soon as Hillary tells us when life begins. Want to hear Ted Cruz's take on gay marriage? He'd be happy to provide it - just as soon as Hillary answers a simple question about how many genders she thinks there are. The wedge question should cut both ways this campaign, whether the media likes it or not.
