Ted Cruz Endorses Mike Flynn; Vote Is Tomorrow
Plus Some Other Stuff & Open Thread

Well I celebrated Independence Day by playing so much Arkham Knight my eyes began to hurt and developed state two leg atrophy.

Ted Cruz endorsed Mike Flynn, and, I heard, is cutting robocall taped endorsements for him.

Mike Flynn is the kind of courageous conservative we need in Washington. When Andrew Breitbart launched BigGovernment.com to expose ACORN and fight back against the institutional left and the political class, he chose Mike Flynn as his lieutenant. For 6 years, Flynn helped expose the media’s lies and led many fights against the Obama Administration and Washington’s entrenched political establishment. I’m happy to endorse his campaign for Congress. With Flynn, Central Illinois will have a strong voice to uphold the constitution, defend the 2nd Amendment and stand up to the media and political elite." -- Senator Ted Cruz

If you haven't donated, and are willing, please do so. You might wonder what they would spend it on; well, they'd spend it on robocalls. They're probably already doing that, but also probably have spent all the actual cash they had, and are probably taking a loan to do it. So, you'd be helping them stay out of family debt.

Over at PJMedia, David Steinberg reports that LaHood has confirmed what we all suspected.

Despite being the clear establishment favorite, LaHood has campaigned as the conservative in this race. Which is why his admission during a local news interview that he would challenge the House GOP -- and even some House Democrats --from the left on Cuba is so bizarre. Video is embedded below -- LaHood's Cuba exchange begins at 7:35:

LAHOOD: I think in terms of opening markets for our farmers, particularly in Cuba, I’m supportive of that. You know, this is the 17th largest agriculture district in the country ... when you think about the commodities that are grown and produced in central Illinois, we have to open up more markets. That’s jobs and economic opportunity for our farmers in our ag community in Central Illinois. So I'm supportive of opening up new markets, such as Cuba, for our corn and our soybeans and other products. That’s a good thing.

In the past, obviously Cuba has had some issues with human rights and other things. But I think this is a way to, you know, transition them to democracy and economic freedom and I'm supportive of it.

Um, throughout this non-campaign LaHood has tried to answer questions with stock, memorized answer. This shows what happens when he's asked something he wasn't scripted for -- he starts babbling about opening Cuba's markets for the farmers of the eighteenth district.

This is a nonsense answer. Calling Cuba's record "some issues with human rights" is the sort of euphemism preferred by Obama.

Clearly, LaHood hasn't thought much about this, and, at a lost, defaulted to regurgitating memorized nonsense about how much he <3 farmers and farm products.

And then we wonder why our government is the way it is.

Jake Tapper blasted leftist critics, such as Media Matters non-entity Oliver Willis.

This NRO article about the leftwing fascism in Wisconsin -- awaking citizens at gunpoint in the middle of the night to "investigate" fantasized political crimes -- is worth your time.

PJ Media's Roger L. Simon says he's a longtime Perry supporter and he can attest that back pain -- and the powerful drugs used to combat it-- can make you sound like a fool. Sounds like he's moving back on to the Perry train, after Perry's recent well-received speech.

You can now by the "COMPLY" bumper sticker:

Ben Carson attacks the "PC uproar" of Donald Trump's comments about Mexicans.

Here's what they do: They deliberately nuke all wrongthoughts they don't like in order to cow people from bringing up anything like those thoughts.

Trump's remarks were crude and insulting. But criminality by multiple-border-violation illegal immigrants is a serious issue-- and a difficult one for the Amnestias to deal with.

So how do they deal with it? By not dealing with it-- by bringing out 400 megaton attacks to make sure that no one brings up these issues they have no ready answer for.

They don't want to talk about sanctuary cities, so they make the entire topic radioactive.

A basic play from the left.

The "cleric" thought to be behind the Tunisian jihadist slaughter is, get this, living high on the hog on welfare benefits in England.

Some astronomers are claiming alien microbial life has been discovered, by indirect but claimedly "incontrovertible" evidence, on that comet the probe Philae is exploring.

Though the Shirtstorm guy himself, Matt Taylor, is very skeptical.

I hope they have found alien life, so that feminist "science lovers" can critique men's sartorial choices at the press conference.

That poor woman suffers from a rare congenital condition called "TRON vagina."

Oh and enjoy the below. I call it "Obama's America."
