 Mourning With Our Armed Forces 
Thursday was a particularly tragic day for the U.S. military. While our own Mark Alexander celebrated the graduation of his son from the U.S. Air Force Academy, one of the Thunderbirds conducting the traditional flyover later crashed. The pilot safely ejected just before putting his F-16 down in a field.
          Not so fortunate, however, was a Blue Angels pilot killed in a crash while practicing for the Great Tennessee Airshow in Nashville this weekend. Marine Capt. Jeff Kuss went down with his F/A-18, almost surely to save civilian lives by maintaining control of where the plane crashed. He leaves behind a wife and two young children. "It's hard to put into words right now, but it's beautiful that a person can live and die engaged in their life's pursuits," said his grandfather, Dolph Kuss. "This was his dream since he was a child, to be an aviator, a flier."
          "I started flying when I was a young kid," Capt. Kuss said in a video the Navy posted last year. "I always had a love for it, worked really hard through school, went to college and eventually got into the military. I wanted to fly the fastest, meanest thing I could. And that's why I'm here today, because I was fortunate enough to get to fly the F-18 Hornet. It's been a great experience every time I strap into it." Godspeed, Captain.
          Finally, in Fort Hood, Texas, at least five soldiers perished when their truck overturned in raging flood waters. Four more are missing, and rescuers are still searching.
          Our Armed Forces personnel face daily danger, and thousands have given their lives in fighting for our nation abroad. That's why we end each edition with this note: Join us in daily prayer for our Patriots in uniform — Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen — standing in harm's way in defense of Liberty, and for their families.
          Thursday's striking events are a pointed reminder that such prayers are always needed, even when service personnel are close to home.  -The Patriot Post

 King nObama Will Really Miss Air Force One 
During his remarks to the graduating cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy, Barack nObama's insulting and out-of-touch attitude toward our nation's warriors was on full display. He praised the Air Force for, well, being great air stewards, telling its cadets, "You take good care of me. You are always on time. You never lose my luggage. I don't have to take off my shoes before I get on. So I am really going to miss Air Force One, as well as the incredible airmen that I've come to know."
          Where to start? Air Force One has become a symbol of nObama's decadence — he's living like royalty at taxpayer expense. In mid-2014, the cost to jet nObama around reached the half-billion-dollar mark. We'll never begrudge a sitting president the travel that's required for managing the affairs of the state, but nObama's lavish fundraising runs and media appearances have long been over the top — especially where the first family could have flown together but chose to fly separately. (For the record, flying Air Force One for an hour costs taxpayers about $228,000. And while this may seem like chump change to those who note that our national debt has surpassed $19 trillion, the behavior is symptomatic of nObama's profligacy.)
          Perhaps it was only fitting, then, for the commander in chief who has used the military as a petri dish for all sorts of social experiments to thank our warriors not for their sacrifice but for keeping track of his luggage.
          In February, nObama said in a television appearance, "I don't miss flying commercial, taking your shoes off and all that." Newsflash: While nObama is burning millions in taxpayers' money on flight, thousands of Americans are missing their commercial flights because the TSA cannot screen travelers in a timely manner. What a let-them-eat-cake moment.   -The Patriot Post
.
 No Good Jobs in the May Jobs Report 
The only jobs added to Barack nObama's economy in May were the ones created by government regulation. The Bureau of Labor Statistics released what Hot Air's Ed Morrissey calls the worst report in five years. Indeed, the numbers are bad: Only 38,000 jobs were added in May. The number of Americans who are doing part-time work when they want a full-time position increased by almost a half million. The percentage of Americans who are gainfully employed shrunk by 0.2 points and now only 62.6% of the population is holding down a job. That last statistic is why BLS could spin the numbers to say the unemployment rate declined to 4.7%.
          According to BLS data, the lone industry to grow in May was the health care industry — an industry that's growing only because nObamaCare regulations are forcing Americans to spend more of their money in the industry. Ahead of the jobs report, nObama visited Elkhart, Indiana, to tout his seven years of bringing a statist touch to the economy. It was from Elkhart in 2009 that nObama argued for a stimulus bill to flood the well-connected businesses of the nation with cash. Friday's jobs report is a reminder of just how lackluster the "recovery" has been, thanks to his policies.
          The ray of hope in the jobs report is that wages increased by five cents in May, so the average hourly wage is $25.59 an hour. Wages are still slowly growing, which might increase consumer spending, which might help revive the economy. But GDP grew just 0.5% in the first quarter of 2016, and this jobs report hints that the second will be equally anemic.   -The Patriot Post

{freebeacon.com} ~ Around this time in 2012, I believed Mitt Romney had a good chance of beating President nObama. I was not alone. The thinking went like this: nObama was unpopular. The economy was sluggish. The Democrats had been drubbed in the previous midterm. Independents did not support the president... I scoured every new poll and piece of economic data for nuggets that confirmed my biases. Job growth was unsatisfactory, men were dropping out of the workforce, polls sampled more Democrats than Republicans—these notions reinforced my thesis. In late October, when Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey and the president performed well in a crisis, I began to think Romney would lose. On the morning of Election Day, as I walked to my polling place in Alexandria and saw nothing but nObama-loosr lips-Biden signs, I knew he would lose. And by the time the election was called that night, I understood that I should have been more skeptical of his chances all along. Why? Because I had dismissed what I had been told in the spring during a lunch at the Brookings Institution. After I explained why Romney could pull it off, one of the political scientists at my table stroked his beard and said, “Look, it’s an interesting story you tell, but what matters is approval and the state of the economy. That’s what will reelect President nObama.” My own disapproval of the president and disappointment in his economic policy led me to short his advantages...

{constitution.com} ~ It seems that Louisiana State Rep. Barbara Norton, D-Shreveport, doesn’t understand history or the Declaration of Independence. During a debate about a bill that would require schools to teach students about America’s founding documents... Norton objected– basing her argument on her misunderstanding of history or the legal document that founded America and its subsequent jurisprudence. She said: “Representative Hodges, I’m not really sure what your intent is, but one thing that I do know is all men are not created equal. “When I think back in 1776, July the fourth, African-Americans were slaves. And for you to… you to bring a bill to request that our children will recite the Declaration, I think it’s a little bit unfair to us to ask those children to recite something that’s not the truth.”...She is one sick person and shouldn't be holding office.  http://constitution.com/democrats-clueless-declaration-independence/

The Afghan national’s alleged terror ties were not initially flagged in a terror database – and as a result, not initially reported – when the incident first came to light last November, according to Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., who obtained Homeland Security documents on the incident. It was only later that U.S. officials discovered his associations. Hunter told Fox News on Friday that the database disconnect represents a “monumental failure.”... http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/06/03/afghan-national-tied-to-taliban-attack-plot-smuggled-into-us.html?cmpid=NL_fntop

{truthrevolt.org} ~ California is seeking to institute a new K-12 history and social science curriculum that is decidedly leftist and anti-America. If it is adopted, other districts across the nation could follow suit... Stanley Kurtz unpacks the worrisome curriculum for the National Review: On immigration, it is anti-assimilationist; on family and sexuality, it is radically anti-traditionalist; on terrorism, it tends to “blame America first;” on the 1960s, it highlights and implicitly lauds the most radical “black, brown, red, and yellow power movements;” on politics, it paints a halo over progressives while perpetrating a hit job on conservatives; on economics, it elevates Keynesian liberalism and ignores everything else; on military history, it is silent or slyly antagonistic; on contemporary politics, it reads like an anti-globalization protest pamphlet. Public education has been a bastion of leftist thought for quite some time, but this move is unprecedented. California will make a final decision by July 13 to adopt this framework. If they do, it could have national implications, as many school districts across the country follow the Golden State's lead when selecting curriculum...  http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/new-progressive-anti-america-textbooks-could-become-national-standard

liar-Hilly on the Ropes
by Judge Andrew Napolitano

.
{townhall.com} ~ Late last week, the inspector general of the State Department completed a yearlong investigation into the use by liar-Hilly Clinton of a private email server for all of her official government email as secretary of state. The investigation was launched when information technology officials at the State Department under Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry learned that liar-Clinton paid an aide to migrate her public and secret State Department email streams away from their secured government venues and onto her own, non-secure server, which was stored in her home.

The migration of the secret email stream most likely constituted the crime of espionage -- the failure to secure and preserve the secrecy of confidential, secret or top-secret materials.

The inspector general interviewed liar-Clinton's three immediate predecessors -- Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice -- and their former aides about their email practices. He learned that none of them used emails as extensively as liar-Clinton, none used a private server and, though Powell and Rice occasionally replied to government emails using private accounts, none used a private account when dealing with state secrets.

liar-Clinton and her former aides declined to cooperate with the inspector general, notwithstanding her oft-stated claim that she "can't wait" to meet with officials and clear the air about her emails.

The inspector general's report is damning to liar-Clinton. It refutes every defense she has offered to the allegation that she mishandled state secrets. It revealed an email that hadn't been publicly made known showing liar-Clinton's state of mind. And it paints a picture of a self-isolated secretary of state stubbornly refusing to comply with federal law for venal reasons; she simply did not want to be held accountable for her official behavior.

The report rejects liar-Clinton's argument that her use of a private server "was allowed." The report makes clear that it was not allowed, nor did she seek permission to use it. She did not inform the FBI, which had tutored her on the lawful handling of state secrets, and she did not inform her own State Department IT folks.

The report also makes clear that had she sought permission to use her own server as the instrument through which all of her email traffic passed, such a request would have been flatly denied.

In addition, the report rejects her argument -- already debunked by the director of the FBI -- that the FBI is merely conducting a security review of the State Department's email storage and usage policies rather than a criminal investigation of her. The FBI does not conduct security reviews. The inspector general does. This report is the result of that review, and liar-Clinton flunked it, as it reveals that she refused to comply with the same State Department storage and transparency regulations she was enforcing against others.

Here is what is new publicly: When her private server was down and her BlackBerry immobilized for days at a time, she refused to use a government-issued BlackBerry because of her fear of the Freedom of Information Act. She preferred to go dark, or back to the 19th-century technology of having documents read aloud to her.

This report continues the cascade of legal misery that has befallen her in the past eight months. The State Department she once headed has rejected all of her arguments. Two federal judges have ordered her aides to testify about a conspiracy in her office to evade federal laws. She now awaits an interrogation by impatient FBI agents, which will take place soon after the New Jersey and California primaries next week. Her legal status can only be described as grave or worse than grave.

We know that liar-Clinton's own camp finally recognizes just how dangerous this email controversy has become for her. Over the Memorial Day weekend, John Podesta, the chairman of liar-Clinton's campaign, sent an email to her most important donors. In it, he recognizes the need to arm the donors with talking points to address liar-Clinton's rapidly deteriorating support with Democratic primary voters.

The Podesta email suggests attempting to minimize liar-Clinton's use of her private server by comparing it to Powell's occasional use of his personal email account. This is a risky and faulty comparison. None of Powell's emails from his private account -- only two or three dozen -- contained matters that were confidential, secret or top-secret.

liar-Clinton diverted all of her email traffic to her private server -- some 66,000 emails, about 2,200 of which contained state secrets. Moreover, Powell never used his own server, nor is he presently seeking to become the chief federal law enforcement officer in the land.

The inspector general who wrote the report was nominated by President Barack nObama and confirmed by the Senate in 2013, after liar-Clinton left office. He did a commendable job -- one so thorough and enlightening that it has highlighted the important role that inspectors general play in government today.

Today every department in the executive branch has, by law, an inspector general in place who has the authority to investigate the department -- keeping officials' feet to the fire by exposing failure to comply with federal law.

If you are curious as to why the inspector general of the State Department during liar-Clinton's years as secretary did not discover all of liar-Clinton's lawbreaking while she was doing it, the answer will alarm but probably not surprise you.

There was no inspector general at the State Department during liar-Clinton's tenure as secretary -- a state of affairs unique in modern history; and she knew that. How much more knowledge of her manipulations will the Justice Department tolerate before enforcing the law?
