Is Obama Blackmailing Boehner? NSA has ‘dirt’ on him?
He drinks a bit. That is well-chronicled.
The tabloids have splashed headlines about torrid affairs, including one with a lobbyist.
And, of course, he cries in public.
But is there more to the personal story of House Speaker John Boehner that would explain his funding of Obamacare and the president’s executive action providing amnesty for millions of illegal aliens in his budget accommodation with Democrats?
Enter the ubiquitous Matt Drudge who tweeted Friday: “Obama got EVERYTHING. NSA dirt on Boehner must be incredible. Chicago wins.”

Please “Dump Dixie” or YSRDD (Yankee Self-Righteous Delusional Disorder)
Michael Tomasky at the Daily Beast believes “It’s Time to Dump Dixie.” Please do. He also thinks that there may be a point in the future when the South should have its independence. Hallelujah, but we tried that once and were forced to keep company with our “kind” neighbors to the North, those like Tomasky who call the South, “one big nuclear waste site of choleric, and extremely racialized, resentment.” Tomasky, by the way admits he was born in West Virginia, yet laments it “was not a Southern state when I was growing up but culturally is one now.” You see, according to Tomasky, the South lacks “tolerance, compassion, civic decency, trans-racial community, [and] the crucial secular values on which this country was founded….” Translation: America used to be a great progressive wonderland of democracy and equality, but evil Southerners ruined it! Better to just write off Dixie than try to convert them, for, as we all know, the North is the bastion of all things good and noble, the shining city upon a hill for the world to emulate.

NYPD cops attacked during ‘peaceful’ protest
NYPD officers were swarmed by protesters in a knock-down, drag-out brawl on the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday night that sent two police lieutenants to the hospital.
The melee broke out at the tail end of a daylong march — which drew nearly 30,000 protesters calling for justice in the wake of the police-involved deaths of civilians Michael Brown and Eric Garner — when a group of marchers swarmed officers as they tried to make an arrest on the bridge roadway around 7:15 p.m., cops said.
“Over the past few weeks, we have gone to great lengths to ensure, even facilitate, people’s ability to protest,” said Chief of Department James O’Neill on Saturday.
“I want to be clear that these assaults do not come with the territory,” he said.

Newtown Families File Suit Against AR-15 Manufacturer and Seller
Via Joe
The families of nine of the 26 people killed and a teacher injured two years ago at the Sandy Hook Elementary School filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer, distributor and seller of the rifle used in the shooting.
The negligence and wrongful death lawsuit, filed Monday in Bridgeport Superior Court, asserts that the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle should not have been made publicly available because it is a military weapon unsuited for hunting or home defense. (The lawyer knows he'll never win this, but thinks he can get a settlement.)

A fascinating map of the world’s most and least racially tolerant countries
Via Joe
Dated
When two Swedish economists set out to examine whether economic freedom made people any more or less racist,
they knew how they would gauge economic freedom, but they needed to
find a way to measure a country's level of racial tolerance. So they
turned to something called the World Values Survey, which has been
measuring global attitudes and opinions for decades.
