In comments I was asked why Cruz should be preferred. This seems like a pretty good argument to me.

Claire Berlinski
She’s funding a new book project. Worthy of support.
Hillary’s FBI Interview
Salon (of all places) has ten questions that could derail her political career (and possibly send her to Club Fed):
Unlike loyal Hillary supporters who view the marathon Benghazi hearings to be a badge of courage and countless prior scandals to be examples of exoneration, the FBI didn’t spend one year (investigating this email controversy) to give Clinton or her top aides parking tickets. They mean business, and lying to an FBI agent is a felony, so Hillary Clinton and her aides will be forced to tell the truth. The doublespeak involving convenience and retroactive classification won’t matter to seasoned FBI agents whose reputations are on the line; the entire country feels there’s a double-standard regarding this email controversy.
Because there is, of course. But much of the Democrat machine is in denial, and cannot imagine a world in which a Clinton would ever actually have to be accountable for their crimes.
[Update a while later]
Any one or more of these four laws should mean jail for Hillary and her top aides. Here‘s the linked article.
Obama’s Syria Legacy
…Horrible, preventable mass genocide. Not to mention destruction of antiquities. And he turned down a CIA plan to prevent the rise of ISIS.
Gee ,it’s almost as though he really doesn’t care that much about the rise of ISIS.
Zoroastrianism
The Kurds are converting from Islam to it in disgust.
Gee, it’s almost as though the see a problem with the religion they were born to.
This is good news, I think. Zoroastrians have been disappearing, particularly in Iran, and I think the world could use a lot more of them. Traditionally, they’ve never caused much trouble. It’s probably one of the most tolerant religions, historically.
Don’t Know Much About History
And yet, they vote. This will destroy the Republic if it continues.
Obama’s Legacy
He will leave his successor with more Middle East disasters than he inherited.
To be fair, he had a lot of help from Hillary and Kerry.
The Cover Up Continues To Unravel
Another federal judge has ruled against the State Department and Hillary.
“Most transparent administration in history.”
Ancient Warfare
I’m always amused by things like this:
Before the 1990s, “for a long time we didn’t really believe in war in prehistory,” DAI’s Hansen says. The grave goods were explained as prestige objects or symbols of power rather than actual weapons. “Most people thought ancient society was peaceful, and that Bronze Age males were concerned with trading and so on,” says Helle Vandkilde, an archaeologist at Aarhus University in Denmark. “Very few talked about warfare.”
Because they bought into Rousseau’s “noble savage” BS.
I suspect there’s still a lot more that we don’t know about human history than we do.
TSA Pre-Check
I’ve been getting randomly assigned it on my boarding passes for years, but I’d never understood why. For instance, I got it on my flight back from IAD this week, but not on my flight out from LAX. So here’s the story, sort of.
Anyway, they say it’s going to end, so if I want to get it, I have to actually sign up and pay the 85 bucks. So I decided to finally do it. I have to go to LAX with my passport and fingers on Monday morning to complete the process.
