'President Barack Obama is the worst president since World War II', Quinnipiac

It's a poll ranking of responses. President Cluster ranks first as the worst president since World War Two.

Here: "July 2, 2014 - Obama Is First As Worst President Since WWII, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; More Voters Say Romney Would Have Been Better."

Romney would have been so much better. It's sad to think how much better. It's sad to think how screwed we are. It's sad to think how hoodwinked the public is. Perhaps some folks are waking up, but we'll see how it shakes out in November.

The 'Gates of Hell' Ajar in the Middle East

An outstanding commentary, from Monica Crowley, at the Washington Times.

She pulls all the strings together. Brief, to the point, hammering it home.

Near Rioting in #Murrieta Overnight as Obama Regime Dumps Illegal Aliens on Patriot Community

At KGTV-ABC10 News San Diego, "Hundreds rally outside Border Patrol office in Murrieta."

Patriots squaring off against amnesty backers waving Mexican flags.

Man, Patricia Ireland.

Flashback to when? The 1990s, I guess.

She needs to go back to the future, lol.

And she should actually make her points instead of whining to Sean Hannity about "it's my turn, waahhh!!"

Some serious national news coverage, amazingly neutral as well:

Serena Williams On-Court Breakdown at Wimbledon

Bizarre.

She's a dominant player. I don't know how she could go out there looking like she was on drugs. I guess it was a "viral" illness of some sort, but it's bad.


Many California Community College Students Need 4 Years to Graduate

At least 4 years.

But see the Los Angeles Times.

Yeah, it's worse, especially for minorities, "New Report Details Need to Increase College Completion and Close Success Gaps for Underrepresented Students at State’s Community Colleges." (That's from 2010, but it ain't getting any better.)

ADDED: The student pictured, Jeffrey MacGillivray, was student of mine this spring semester at Long Beach City College. At the Times he's seen at El Camino College in Torrance in 2012. It's interesting that he's shopping around, taking classes at different colleges. Usually when that happens students are unsuccessful, so they have to switch schools. I worked closely with Jeffrey, hoping to impart some sense of the importance of good attendance and punctuality, as I do for all of my classes. Also interesting is how all the students pictured have the smartphones out, texting and talking as soon as they get out of class.

Outraged Murrieta Patriots Protest Illegal Alien Onslaught, Block Amnesty Buses! — #SecureTheBorder

My good friend Douglas Gibbs, and his crew of local patriots in Murrieta, Ca., are on the front lines of the illegal alien crisis and they're not taking it anymore.

Here's Doug's post on not just the constitutional crisis, but the Third World disease epidemic spiraling over our borders, "Illegal Immigration Bio-Warfare."

Check that link.

Turns out Murrieta's patriot community has been holding protests, demanding that city leaders stem the tide. Most dramatically, they've blocked illegal aliens from unloading at the Murrieta Border Control compound.

Here's the background, at the Riverside Press-Enterprise, "IMMIGRATION: Debate continues over plan to use Murrieta facility." And at NBC Southern California, "Protesters Block Bus Carrying Immigrants."

And a video from CBS/KCAL News Los Angeles, "KCAL9's Tom Wait reports the Mayor Alan Long tried to reassure constituents their safety is not in jeopardy during a community meeting Monday":

Cameron Diaz Strips Down for Esquire

Cameron Diaz has some all natural fitness book out with photos of her super-clean and fit body, so now she's taking her lovely curves to the movies.

At Fox News, "Cameron Diaz gets naked in 'Sex Tape' movie." And at USA Today, "A Cameron Diaz first: Naked on camera."

And going straight to Esquire, "THE EXCERPT: MEET CAMERON DIAZ, OUR NEWEST COVER STAR AND AN INCREDIBLE WHISTLER."

Not Gonna Take It! Huge Majorities Blame Obama for Illegal Alien Crisis, IRS Cover-Up, and Iraq

At IBD, "Americans Blame Obama: Poll."

Fifty-nine percent of those polled blame Obama for the flood of illegal aliens streaming over the border; a full 65 percent say the Obama administration is engaged in an IRS cover-up; and 56 percent say Obama's troop pull-out in 2011 caused the current crisis in Iraq.

We've seen the administration's numbers tanking for weeks. It's just over four months now until the November midterms. Democrats are going to be destroyed.

Bloomberg says arrests have been made, but here's the Times of Israel, "Army vows to capture suspects in teens’ killing, ‘dead or alive’."

More later.

Indians at #Dodgers

I'm heading out to Chavez Ravine with my youngest boy for tonight's game.

Blogging should resume late night or in the morning, depending how beat I am.



Supreme Court Rules for Hobby Lobby Religious Exemption on #ObamaCare Contraception Mandate

Obviously, a huge decision out of the Supreme Court today.

At LAT, "Supreme Court rules on contraceptives; setback for Obama healthcare law." And at NYT, "Updates on the Supreme Court’s Decision in Hobby Lobby Case," and "Supreme Court Rejects Contraceptives Mandate for Some Corporations."

Althouse has analysis, "The Supreme Court — in Hobby Lobby — upholds religious exemptions to Obamacare."

Radical leftists completely lost it.

At the Other McCain, "The #HobbyLobby Hysteria," and National Review, "Hobby Lobby Sparks Twitter Outrage on the Left."


Plus lots more at Twitchy, "‘Fu*k you:’ Left-wingers want to ‘burn down’ Hobby Lobby after SCOTUS win," and "#BoycottHobbyLobby: Opponents say it’s time to ‘lynch’ a few corporations."

And at Memeorandum.
