Such a wide variety of headlines today, even without getting into the pending/wished-for/ridiculous (fill in your own blank) nuclear-deal-that-won't-be-written-down with Iran… Here's the good stuff, IMO.

Identity politics hits a slight snag
From NewsBusters, here's the MRC Latino Staff:
There is No ‘Hispanic Position’ on Immigration

Want a good reason to stay friendly with Israel?
Here's an awesome one, from IsraelNationalNews.com:
Israeli Company's Vaccine Blocks 90% of Cancer Types

More medical news
From NewScientist.com's Clare Wilson:
Anglo Saxon remedy kills hospital superbug MRSA
Don't tell me those guys didn't know what they were doing.

Update on the PPACA's legal challenges
Also known as ObamaCare, depending upon your preference. From the Volokh Conspiracy's Jonathan H. Adler of the Washington Post:
The Supreme Court’s next Obamacare case(s)

About that Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act (and the Fed's version, too)
From The Federalist's Sean Davis:
Connecticut’s Governor Doesn’t Understand His Own State’s RFRA
I am having trouble understanding the progressive-slash-liberal outrage about a state law patterned on one signed by President Bill Clinton in 1993, especially since the outrage doesn't mention the similar laws in roughly 20 other states.

From the We-Can-Always-Hope department
And Moe Lane. You know Moe Lane, right?
A *dirty* Democratic primary season may still happen!

Hillary's not looking so inevitable these days

From Vivian Hughbanks at TownHall.com:
Poll: Voters In Key States Don't Trust Hillary Clinton Due To Emails

From Kemberlee Kaye of the excellent blog Legal Insurrection:
About that one device… Hillary also used an iPad

From Rick Moran of American Thinker:
Experts say portions of Hillary's e-mails are recoverable

From Stephen Green, the VodkaPundit on PJMedia.com:
It’s All Down Hill (sic) from Here

Tweet of the Day
Unashamedly stolen from Instapundit:

Need a laugh?
We can arrange that. Back to the VodkaPundit:

Finally, I've never done this before

No time this week for any in-depth reading, so here are the few links that caught my eye over the last few days.

Is the ACA already dead in space?
From Sean Parnell of the Washington Times:
Obamacare flying machine begins a death spiral

From Mike Flynn of Breitbart.com:
GOP Finally Has Tool to Repeal ObamaCare

Does Ted Cruz have a chance?
From Alexander Marlow, again of Breitbart.com:
The Disrupter? Ted Cruz Lays Out ‘Grassroots Guerrilla’ Strategy for College Audience

If this is any indication, the answer's a resounding yes. From Fuzzy Slippers of the excellent blog Legal Insurrection:
Ted Cruz Raises $2 Million In Three Days

A Democrat says something I can agree with!
Finally! From FoxNews.com:
Potential 2016 candidate O'Malley rips Bush, Clinton, saying presidency 'not some crown' 

Hopefully we can share more this coming week. I mean, what's the real reason Harry Reid is quitting politics? Until then, thanks for stopping by and happy reading. Cheers,

Gunnar

Roundup of #political links: The State of the… #tcot #2016

A few links that caught my eye today.

The State of the President = clueless. From Patterico's Pontifications, by Dana. Hint: read the update from Patterico, at the bottom of the post:
Hillary And The White House: Getting Lost In The Tangled Web

And not particularly forward-looking, either. From The Washington Examiner's Byron York:
A war of Obama's making

Related: The State of Scott Walker, from IBD.com:
Scott Walker Punches Back Twice As Hard At Obama

And The State of Inter-Washington Diplomacy, from Moe Lane:
Senator Tom Cotton (R, AR) speaks truth to Biden on foreign policy.

The State of the Union = fed up, in two separate polls. From The American Thinker's Rick Moran:
Poll: People giving up on Washington

And From IBD.com's John Merline, the other poll:
Working Class Gives Up On Obama, Fears Job Losses 

The State of the Second Amendment, again from Moe Lane:
This is what the ATF running away looks like.

The State of Hillary Clinton's presser = insufficient. From the Ace of Spades HQ, complete with snark, tweets, and videos:
Here Are Hillary's Lies

And from PJMedia.com's Ed Driscoll:
Hillary’s Checkers Speech

But as long as she remains in the limelight, we can continue to crack Bubba jokes:
Meanwhile, Back in Bubbaland

Thanks for stopping by. Cheers and happy reading,

Gunnar

P.S. No tip jar. Just good books for sale.

Political link roundup for the stories of the week.

Hillary's emailgate

From FoxNews.com's James Rosen, here's a discussion of some of the forensic work performed to identify all the various email accounts involved. …Mau_Suit? Really?
Clinton created multiple email addresses on private server, data show

TownHall.com's Katie Pavlich has a summary that includes some of the same info, but also notes on the White House's response and the security of the Clinton home server.
Report: Hillary Clinton Had Multiple Private Email Accounts on Server Used For State Department Business

HotAir.com's Ed Morrissey gives us a flash from the past:
Hillary in 2000: With everyone investigating the Clintons, “why would I ever want to do e-mail?” Update: Benghazi select committee to subpoena Clintonemail.com data

From the Gretawire:
Just got this document from FNC’s Catherine Herridge about Secretary Clinton and personal emails

The excellent blogger Neo-Neocon discusses the question Why now?
The Clinton emails: another case of “if only Obama knew”

From DougRoss@Journal comes…
CLINTON CRIME FAMILY CHRONICLES, PART 7 BAJILLION: Hillary's brother gets exclusive gold mining permit from Haiti after State Dept. gives it billions in your money

Finally, centrist libertarian Megan McArdle looks both to the past and the future at BloombergView.com:
Why You Should Care About Hillary's E-Mail

State of the economy
Again from HotAir.com's Ed Morrissey:
February jobs report shows 295,000 jobs added, jobless rate 5.5%

From Sean Davis at The Federalist:

Here’s What The Unemployment Rate Looks Like If You Add Back Labor Force Dropouts


From the thoughtful and excellent blog Legal Insurrection comes Prof William A. Jacobson of Cornell Law:
Declining workforce participation is Obama’s greatest achievement

From DougRoss@Journal's Michael Snyder:
The Death of the American Dream in 22 Numbers

Finally, from the delicious VodkaPundit, Stephen Green:
Sign “O” the Times

Miscellaneous, mainly funny, and not necessarily political
From one of my favorite blogs, The Bluebird of Bitterness:
USMC to deploy Alabamian code talkers

Again from Legal Insurrection, this time from Leslie Eastman:

That's it for now. Thanks for stopping by, cheers, and happy reading.
