++Fox News spent the day trying to avoid the fact the shooter had racist leanings and wanted to start a race war. But does Lindsey Graham have to go on Fox and claim the shooter was looking for Christians to kill? I mean really? I thought Rick Santorum's earlier remarks were off the wall but I guess this is the new talking point.
++American flags were half mast but not the Confederate flag. A Charlestown paper had to apologize for putting gun ad stickers on their front page.
++Don't look now Rick Perry is moving up in the Iowa polls. Quinnipiac found that there were no true GOP leaders in the swing states but Hillary is over 50% in all of them. Monmouth University says there are no first-tier GOP candidates. Only a few make 10%.
++You may not know this but President Obama mediated a solution for the Libyan civil war between the Gulf States at his Camp David summit of the Arab states.
++The Sanders Surge continues. Events in Denver must be moved to larger venues and his South Carolina appearance likewise. Bernie has pulled within 10 of Hillary Clinton.
++Ben Carson was the only Republican to appear at the National Latino Conference in Las Vegas. Carson said he was for closing all borders. He wasn't afraid of Hondurans but people from Syria who want to bomb us. That's one way of arguing against immigrants.
++When The Donald said that all Mexicans were drug smugglers and rapists,Jeb didn't respond, Rubio said nothing and Reince Preibus didn't respond. So much for outreach to Hispanics.
++Elderly vets are circulating e-mails concerned about the Chinese hacking of the records of people with security clearances. I asked why they should have them anyway. Crickets.
++Senator Corker is up to campaigning against the Iran deal, which I remind everyone we still do not know whether it will occur and what will be in it. Corker says that Obama gave too much away.
++The Donald says he would negotiate a better deal and double the sanctions.
++You will live in a very cramped country if Republicans get elected. Now they are back trashing Europe and Asia. They hate Latin America and Africa.
++It is going to be hard to justify a re-invasion of Iraq. Read today's column by Andrew Bacevitch in Toms Dispatch. He weaves a tale of why the present policy is absurd and why doubling down is even more so.
++The Donald likes Putin and can make a deal with him.
++The next two weeks should see a same-sex ruling and Obamacare at the Supreme Court. I still fear for Obamacare. The result would be a disaster and really render Obama a lame duck.
++This week's New Yorker has a fine article on Diane Feinstein and the fight with John Brennen over the torture report.
++White Supremacists are concerned that the shooing at Emmanuel makes them look bad. I kid you not.
