What we and others have been Tweeting

You heard the news: Detroit filed for bankruptcy.

Death by 50-60 years of the same bankrupt governing ideology proves only that Detroit was tougher and more resilient than most people thought.

http://t.co/lXWXe4lXqB #Detroit: borne of innovation and capitalism. Ruined by corrupt and incompetent statism.

Of course, that assessment doesn't set well with some people.

Merely pointing out the 2x4-upside-the-head obvious is now regarded as scoring political points. #Detroit

And do you know what yesterday was?

http://t.co/IL5xQhbGQ4 A new Weiner scandal, Monica Lewinski's birthday & national hot dog day. Can't make up this stuff. #Merica

The show will go on but without military aircraft.

No Blue Angels @ Miramar air show this year yet we'll be more than happy to arm Islamists in Syria. #SanDiego #sequester

"But not all the rebels are Islamists". True but don't be naive, that's with whom the weapons will end up. #Syria

— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) July 23, 2013

For those of you whining about gridlock in D.C., you'd be pleased to know this effort to weaponize people who want to slaughter us has been a bipartisan affair. Happy?

Having failed to get any of the four major sports leagues to shill for ObamaCare, Team O is turning to Hollywood. Of course, they are.

http://t.co/Yp8RxtJzgg Hollywood to the young'ns: Why, yes, it totally makes sense for u to pay thousands more/year for hc u will never use

http://t.co/Yp8RxtJzgg Young people begged to sign up for health care getting first big real world experience with top-down statism.

— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) July 23, 2013

Of course, we can play the whole class envy/class warfare game too.

http://t.co/Yp8RxtJzgg Young people, if you decide to pay the tax instead of signing up for healthcare, you just aren't paying yr fair share

— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) July 23, 2013

To summarize, this whole miserable house of cards depends upon young people paying for healthcare they'll never use.... for years

On the ripple effect of the media-government hanging party's treatment of George Zimmerman.

http://t.co/yb67dETuLE "... they knew it wasn't GZ's number but they were still going to harass me." The logic of race obssessed lefties.

http://t.co/D1oehCCC5C This must be some more of that new civility I've been hearing about. #Zimmerman

Department of Justice behaving pretty much as you would expect under the miserable hack that is Eric Holder.

http://t.co/izFtlWc4S1 Aside from inciting racial tensions and gun-running, precisely wtf does #DOJ do? #EricHolder #Hack

— Dean R. Riehm (@deanriehm) July 23, 2013

I'd love a job at #DOJ sittin' around collecting a check. Would have 2 avoid inciting racial tensions & gun-running divisions, tho. #Busy

That we know of... RT @OKnox: Dear American Political Class: Really? Not ONE of you is seizing this amazing news dump opportunity? Hmmm...

Third best...

@instapundit Has @sullydish weighed in yet on whether it's really Sarah Palin's?

— Joel Engel (@joelengel) July 22, 2013

And then there is this:

This Country would be totally ruined if not for the gridlock. It's not their job to solve all our problems. @RichardGrenell @Simas44

— Cold Dead Hands (@davetv28) July 21, 2013

Truer words have never been spoken. We (heart).... absolutely (heart) gridlock. You're welcome.




OK, gang, that's it for now.
