- Pakistani teenager and Indian child labor foe win Nobel Peace Prize:
Reaching across gulfs of age, gender, faith, nationality and even international celebrity, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the 2014 peace prize on Friday to Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan and Kailash Satyarthi of India. The award joined a teenage Pakistani known around the world with an Indian veteran of campaigns to end child labor and free children from trafficking.
Yousafzai is 17 and the youngest person to receive the award since it was begun in 1901. She will share $1.1 million with Satyarthi.
It normally begins with some leftist central command, such as Media Matters or Daily Kos, to issue a call of attack—and the mindless lemmings follow, normally completely devoid of any knowledge or understanding of a topic. It is the leftist progressive tactic of instilling fear, coercion and intimidation. And ISIS is following suit, using the exact same tactics.
Blue Hog Report’s Matt Campbell has unearthed an email from Leslie Rutledge’s time as a lawyer with the Department of Human Services that, unlike a previous email forward that caught the attention of the Arkansas Blog and others, is going to be hard for the Republican candidate for attorney general to explain away. In the email, dated Oct. 2007, Rutledge appears to be passing along a note from a friend. The subject line is “True story and email from a friend of mine…she works d’town with battered women, etc.”
What follows is an account of a son and mother seeking an order of protection for the son that’s written entirely in racist dialect.
When Democrats tout their strength among minority voters, they’re usually referring to African Americans and Latinos, but over the past few elections Asian Americans have increasingly gone blue as well. Now, a new group is seeking to thwart that trend. The Asian Republican Coalition launched with a splashy event at the Newseum in Washington, DC, in May, drawing GOP heavy-hitters including Sens. John Cornyn, Tim Scott, and Tom Coburn. And last week, the group announced its first set of endorsements, backing five Republican candidates across the country.
Yet, the Asian Republican Coalition appears to be in an awkward position: It seems unable to find many people of Asian descent to endorse or support its cause.
