Ebola! Midweek updates! Ebola is sweeping Africa. With modern Air Travel could the disease ‘spread like a forest fire’ in the United States? What is a mosquito killer? Does it carry a virus? As the Israeli assault on Gaza continues, US Secretary of State John Kerry has caused an international incident with a poorly thought out cease fire proposal. Is this another Foreign Policy disaster? People have asked for comments on the banking system and Dodd Frank. According to Richard Rahn, the one to watch is the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. If they get their way all of your financial data may soon be shared with all nations of the world. Last week a major Coronal Mass Ejection nearly hit the earth. This week some analysts are warning the electro magnetic pulse from such an explosion on the sun, or a nuclear device detonated over the continental United States would do untold damage to the country’s electrical infrastructure. The feminists are after Comic-Con saying ogling of scantily clad women representing adventure and science fiction characters has to stop! And Michele Bachmann is in the headlines again, or not.

Impeach Obama. Is that all some people on the right have to say? Just about 100 days left until the midterm election day, November 4th, 2014. What are people on the right FOR? What are Republicans FOR? What politician is going to debate his or her opponent, has had a gaffe, which politician said what about the other seem to have precedence in the mind of the electorate. While this may be fine for Progressives, it won’t do for the Right. While republicans are still trying to win the rhetorical battle, democrats are raising more cash, and more cash from small donors than Republicans. What’s more potentially damaging for Republicans? Democrats are raising a lot of cash on the specter of Impeachment. Begging the question, What is the right actually in favor of. 100 days out and the Republicans don’t seem to have a ground game, other than Impeach Obama and call your Congressman (that is if you actually know who your Congressman is). If the right doesn’t get it together, the story of the election will be, “What happened to Republicans? … Again”. Moreover, impeachment is no guarantee Obama will actually be removed from office, and specifically for what?. Not to mention, it would put Joe Biden in the White House.

The coldest summer on record? Updates to begin the last week of July, and it already feels like Labor Day in the Upper Midwest! Despite all the condemnations, Russia’s President Putin is ratcheting up the pressure in Ukraine, where ‘Drunken Separatists’ are apparently making calls and using the credit cards of the victims of the downing of MH-17, literally adding insult to injury. The US issues ‘evidence’ the Russians have been firing artillery, or missiles (or what?) into Ukraine. What does this ‘evidence’ prove? And what does the US President intend to do? What about Europe? As we wait for economic data on the 2nd Quarter, suddenly economists are hedging their bets. Remember when all the US economic woes were because of the polar vortex last winter. Apparently it continues. This is now the coldest summer on record. Maybe that will be the reason, if new numbers show the US economy in contraction. Wind Power kills birds, and a meeting in Bloomington over the weekend discussed this, but a ‘conservative’ approach to wind power saves the day? Really? More junk polls from Gallup and CNN. People are now saying they wished Mitt Romney had won the 2012 election? A little late for that now, huh? The Federal Government is stopping bake sales, because of nutrition issues, and a final shot at Comic Con. College Aged antics are one thing, but a 65 year old chidult trying to scare a car full of deaf people? Sponsored by X Government Cars!
