The Right Stuff In The Morning

Wednesday, December 3, 2014

Good morning! Leading the news today: Conservatives are rebelling at Boehner's cautious response to Obama's immigration order; the New Black Panthers not getting proper Justice from Justice; Jeb gets ready to battle the base; but is he more conservative than you think?; and Darren Wilson is under the protection of off-duty police volunteers.

Have a great day.

GOP divided on Boehner's immigration response . . . House Republicans vowed Tuesday to confront President Obama’s temporary amnesty for illegal immigrants, but they continued to wrestle with how to do it, as conservatives balked at the GOP leadership’s plan to put off the fight until March.

Leaders were counting noses to see whether they had enough support for a three-pronged approach, which would include passing an omnibus spending bill to fund most of the government through the end of the fiscal year, while carving out funding for homeland security programs in a separate measure that would last until early next year, when Congress would revisit the amnesty controversy.

Biden tries to fool me into giving out my address . . . Is this even legal? Using false pretenses to obtain someone’s address? Making believe that they like me – I assure you, they don’t – and that Obama wants to send me a card? Just to find out where they can direct mail me their propaganda and drag me out of bed on Election Day? White House Dossier

DHS: ISIS can strike anywhere, anytime . . . Despite ongoing U.S. strikes, extremist backers of ISIS could still launch attacks on U.S. citizens and personnel with “little to no warning,” according to a senior Department of Homeland Security official, who warned on Tuesday that DHS is “increasingly concerned” about IS backers who “may choose to carry out attacks in the homeland rather than attempt to travel overseas.” Washington Free Beacon

Top Dem to Obama: Sanctions for Iran . . . Sen. Bob Menendez, the outgoing Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman, says time has run out for negotiations to roll back Iran’s nuclear program.

SecDHS: Border security a work in progress . . . “I recently issued a directive to better define out border metrics and how we should define border security,” Jeh Johnson told the House Homeland Security Committee. “That is a work in progress.” Washington Examiner

Jeb gets ready to battle the base . . . Jeb Bush is steeling for a fight with the GOP’s conservative base, signaling he will not bend from his centrist positions on immigration and Common Core education standards in 2016 — even if it costs him support with grassroots conservatives. The Hill

But is he one of them? . . . Admittedly, there are his heresies on Common Core and immigration, the two hottest-button issues of the day in that world—but that’s enough to make Jeb a moderate? Really? For those of us who covered Jeb’s two terms in Tallahassee, this is beyond mind-boggling. On issue after issue, Jeb’s track record in Florida pushed conservatism’s envelope to the breaking point. Politico

Could Rubio emerge? . . . The Florida senator is barely registering in polls, but he's got the most potential of anyone in the crowded field. National Journal

GOP leaders map limited course . . . GOP congressional leaders said they plan to pursue targeted agreements with the White House on tax and trade policy next year, but they played down prospects for more sweeping measures in part because of fractured relations between both sides.

Police protecting Wilson on own time . . . Darren Wilson has lived in the shadows for nearly four months, changing residence from house to house, spending spare time in dark movie theaters, in hopes he won't be spotted. But he has not sneaked around alone. He has had protectors. CNN

Frisco Ferguson riot may leave officer disfigured . . . A violent Friday night riot by Ferguson protesters in San Francisco, who attempted to block Black Friday shopping, resulted in five police officers being badly injured and damaged one officer's face so badly that he could be permanently disfigured.

Mark Levin: Blacks miserable under Obama . . . "In the black community under our first black president and our first black attorney general, it’s miserable.

How Ferguson, amnesty are related . . . Ferguson has inadvertently drawn the national media spotlight as an epitome of communities across America that are besieged by the effects of constantly loose labor markets where there are far more workers than jobs. Washington Times

Media skewer Lauten, ignored Gruber . . . There were stories in the Washington Post and New York Times. Stories all over cable, especially MSNBC. Stories on the morning shows and all three network newscasts. And stories on seemingly every website . . . Contrast the conduct of the big newspapers and networks with what happened when those Jonathan Gruber videos surfaced. The “CBS Evening News” took four days to cover the story, the New York Times six days. “NBC Nightly News” and ABC’s “World News Tonight” didn’t find Gruber newsworthy until the following week. Fox News

Critics: Common Core includes psych data . . . A little-known aspect of Common Core should have students worried about what goes on the dreaded "permanent record," say critics of the national education standard. Fox News

Kirsten Dunst attacked for praising femininity . . . “I feel like the feminine has been a little undervalued,” she told Harper's Bazaar. “We all have to get our own jobs and make our own money, but staying at home, nurturing, being the mother, cooking — it’s a valuable thing my mom created . . . And sometimes, you need your knight in shining armor. I’m sorry. You need a man to be a man and a woman to be a woman. That’s why relationships work.” National Review
