Daily Beast: ‘Will Hillary Be Our 3rd Black President?’
Even by the standards of Democratic presidential nominees, Barack Obama did exceptionally well among black voters, winning 95 percent in 2008 and 93 percent in 2012.

Baltimore Wants FEMA Aid; Sun Ignores How Mayor Encouraged Rioters
In case you missed it, the City of Baltimore and the State of Maryland have requested disaster relief assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to recover costs incurred during that city's April riots. You read that right.

Leftists Desecrate Old Glory; Networks Silent
Time was, burning an American flag was a reliable way of getting on network TV, there to shock the taxpayers over their TV dinners.
