. . . with Jim Geraghty February 25, 2014 Greetings, you Jolters of the morn! I am sorry to report that Jim Geraghty is either playing hooky or dealing with the aftermath of eating avocado dip that was in fact turned mayonnaise. He is impossible to pinch hit for, so let's just hijack the opportunity to tell/sell you a thing or two. Of course, to the right you will see the infamous "Today on NRO" sidebar -- please check out all these great reads. Now for a few additional editorial recommendations . . . | Write down this important date: July 1st, 2014 On Tuesday July 1st, 2014, an important provision of a new law, House of Representatives Bill #2847, goes into effect. So far, this story is being totally ignored by the mainstream press. But this is one of the most important and dangerous pieces of legislation in modern U.S. history. It's going to cause major, major problems for every American and anyone around the globe holding U.S. dollars. You have less than 5 months to prepare. Get the critical facts for yourself here.  | | | My colleague Jillian Melchior has been doing terrific investigative work for well over a year, of late getting much attention for her reporting on the felon population among ObamaCare "navigators." For a while she's been reporting on incredible Philadelphia-area union thuggery. Her latest report, on the FBI arrest of several ironworkers, can be read here. Jillian visited Fox & Friends to discuss the story -- you can watch the clip here. I am a big fan of Jay Nordlinger's "Impromptus" column, his wise thoughts on people and politics and trends and language, you name it. Today's edition offers the usual delicious smorgasbord, including one item on how a conservative group is mounting a major effort to unseat Alabama Democrat Mark Pryor. Writes Jay: For the last many months, I've been reading about how "conservative" groups are spending millions to unseat Republican officeholders — sometimes good conservatives.
Spending to unseat a Democrat? Extraordinary. Read the entire column here. Charlie Cooke is brilliant, always. And as an expert (he is) on the Second Amendment and American gun laws, he has always taken a special interest in Brit blowhard Piers Morgan, now out of a job at CNN, where his show's small viewership has collapsed. Yesterday afternoon Charlie filed an article, "Piers Morgan's Decline and Fall," which you can read here. I'd like to share one little passage: Given that Morgan is an obviously repugnant personality, that he willfully fails to grapple with the topics at hand, and that he is physically incapable of allowing a guest to upstage him, he was always going to have his work cut out. And now it has been. Cut out. From under. Okay, enough about things editorial. How about you now turn your attention to reserving that NR cruise cabin? Come on now, admit it -- you've always wanted to go on one, and the National Review 2014 Post-Election Caribbean Cruise is just the one for you. Very affordable (prices start at only $1,999) and overflowing with top conservatives (some 40-plus speakers are confirmed, from VDH and John Yoo and Jonah to Jay and Andy McCarthy and, if he ever gets better, Jim Geraghty). The dates are November 9 –16, out of Ft. Lauderdale, sailing on Royal Caribbean's luxurious Allure of the Seas. Get complete information about this bon voyage at www.nrcruise.com. And you'll need to pack an NR Tee Shirt, which you can purchase here. Fret not. Jim will be back tomorrow. Assuming he checks the date on that yogurt in the back of the fridge. Best, Jack Fowler
