DEAR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT: We are adults.  We can feed ourselves and go to the bathroom by ourselves.  We’ve moved out of your house long ago. Around 1776.  If you keep getting confused about this, we’ll have to put you in assisted care.

 BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT LEFTIST PURITANS DO: Why is the government out to destroy vaping?

FEDERAL REGULATIONS ADD $1.9 TRILLION TO THE COST OF GOVERNMENT EVERY YEAR: That’s the conclusion of the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Wayne Crews in his annual update, “Ten Thousand Commandments: An Annual Snapshot of the Federal Regulatory State,” according to the Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group’s Ethan Barton.

 and finally

FEDS HIRED A CREDIT CARD FRAUD FELON FRESH OUT OF PRISON, NOW HE RUNS A BIG VA PURCHASING UNIT: Trust me, friends, the Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group’s Luke Rosiak did not make up this story that captures pretty much everything that is wrong with the Department of Veterans Affairs (and probably the federal bureaucracy in general as well).

“Almost immediately after Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate #11109-017 completed a 14-month sentence for using sensitive credit card data on his previous employer’s computer system to steal $70,000, he was hired by the Department of Veterans Affairs in a position that ultimately led to his present job — running an office racked with credit card fraud and bribery problems,” Rosiak writes this morning.

Really, you owe it to yourself this morning to read the whole story, which you can do right here.

“THE DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT IS WRITING A NEW CHAPTER IN THE SAGA OF LIBERAL FASCISM,” Scott Johnson writes at Power Line. “Democratic officeholders seem to be operating a conspiracy to stifle free speech and suppress heterodox thought. They’re on C.P. time, alright: Communist Party time.”

AS A WISE COMMUNITY ORGANIZER ONCE SAID, PUNCH BACK TWICE AS HARD: “Jason Riley, a conservative columnist for the Wall Street Journal, will speak at Virginia Tech once the school issues him a public, written apology… Riley said he appreciated that [Virginia Tech Pamplin College of Business Dean Robert Sumichrast] acknowledged that he was invited and then disinvited. He said in the conversation Sumichrast also offered to issue an apology on the school’s behalf, something crucial Riley said because he felt like Tech administrators had been characterizing him ‘as a liar.’”

Well, they were; here is Riley’s original written invitation, which VT rescinded when the college discovered that — ZOMG! — Riley is a black conservative:

TO ASK THE QUESTION IS TO ANSWER IT: Why Aren’t We Having a National Conversation About Leftist Violence?, David Harsanyi asks at the Federalist:

The media was happy to portray the peaceful Tea Party as a movement surreptitiously driven by racism without a shred of proof outside its opposition to Barack Obama. You will remember Paul Krugman blaming peaceful assembly and free speech for an insane person’s “assassination” attempt against Kathleen Gifford, and Ezra Klein lamenting how scary things get when conservatives oppose liberal doctrine. Every shooting in America necessitates a thorough investigation into political proclivities of the perpetrator. Is he angry at the president? Did he ever register as a Republican? Is he fond of the Confederate flag? But only when the facts mesh with the helpful narrative do we hear about it.

WHY ARE DEMOCRAT-RUN INSTITUTIONS SUCH CESSPITS OF NARROW-MINDED CULTURAL STEREOTYPING? Bob Costas’ French stereotyping angers boating world:

Bob Costas roiled the waters at the opening press conference for the New York leg of the prestigious Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series when he asked respected French skipper Franck Cammas, “Does the French team have plenty of wine and cheese onboard?”

One attendee said, “Is Costas next going to ask Sir Ben Ainslie [five-time Olympic gold medalist and skipper of the British Land Rover BAR team] if he’s loaded his boat with beer and Yorkshire pudding? These skippers are serious athletes.” Thankfully Costas didn’t ask.

CALIFORNIA’S IN THE VERY BEST OF HANDS: “California Board of Equalization Chairman Jerome Horton should apologize to Rob Lowe for anti-Semitic slur,” the Sacramento Bee reported in March:

Horton should have one two-word response to actor Rob Lowe and his wife, Sheryl Berkoff: I’m sorry.

In a year when politicians seem to think crass is cool, Horton embarrassed himself and the constitutional office he holds as an elected Board of Equalization member by asking Lowe and Berkoff in a private meeting whether they had “Jewed down” contractors who had built their house.

But it gets better: “California tax official got $130,000 worth of office furniture,” the Bee reported last week.

SOCIALISM: IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL LEAVE:

Because unless you’re a One Percenter yourself, you can only stay on the front line’s of the left’s self-admitted mission to “rid society of the dictatorship of the middle class,” for so long.
