An unexpected loss for Republican Eric Cantor, and a rapidly deteriorating situation in Iraq form the backdrop to this Friday’s updates on the top stories. Everyone at the US Capitol is talking about Eric Cantor’s loss in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District. The upset has republicans and democrats on edge. What does it mean for the 2014 election cycle. Since Friday, June 13th is the day for the 2nd District Reagan Day Dinner, what could President Obama learn from Reagan?  Could Obama lose the senate for democrats in 2014? Does the rapidly deteriorating situation in Iraq mean the President’s foreign policy is unraveling? Sponsored by Baklund R & D.

Weekend Update! The White House’s rosy scenario on the Bowe Bergdahl release continues to unravel. There are three key points to pay close attention to in the next few weeks. Will this new PR debacle for the President have a negative impact on close races for Democrat Senate candidates in the 2014 cycle? These days, if you mention Ronald Reagan, you get flack from both sides of the political spectrum. The left always hated Reagan, and now he’s not ‘conservative’ enough for some. This week was the commemoration of the D-Day invasion at Normandy as well as the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre of the Chinese people by their government. Will we look back in twenty more years and say that was the beginning of the end of the Communist Regime? Can you have continued economic growth without freedom? Is it true Michelle Obama is thinking about running for the Senate? Plus bike sharing has an ‘unexpected’ effect in New York City, and the ‘Green Line’ opens in Minneapolis and Saint Paul this weekend. Sigh. Sponsored by X Government Cars!

Morning In America

“We thought it wouldn’t be, couldn’t be, fixed. Then came Reagan, with a sunny disposition and a belief he knew what was wrong and how to fix it. He knew it because he had lived and breathed it night after night on factory floors, read it on long train and plane trips, and spoke it famously in his Goldwater nomination speech in 1964. Later he would fight for these ideas in two presidential campaigns before he won in 1980.” Read more in my post about emceeing the Reagan Day Dinner, on June 13th 2014, in Minnesota’s 2nd District.
