President Obama covered up an attack by Iranian jets on a US drone missile on November 1 and didn’t tell us until after election day. Added to the Benghazi coverup and the cooking of the books to make unemployment numbers appear less onerous, the Administration engaged in shady deceit to win a razor-thin victory. Pundit Dick Morris calls for Congressional probes.

What happens to cities when they become overly dependent on one industry to survive, and that industry falls victim to increasing foreign competition and unsustainable union demands? Here are portraits of two Midwest cities — Detroit, Michigan, and Gary, Indiana — that once were teeming metropolises but now are struggling to fend off urban blight and decay. Detroit is seen through the prism of Burn, a new documentary that showcases firefighters dealing with an explosion of arson in the Motor City. The report on Gary is from RT, a Russian TV network with worldwide bureaus, including some here in the United States. H/T Moonbattery and Riehl World View

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie demonstrates why he’s a stand-up thinker in a July 9 talk at The Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. Asked if he would support a federal subsidy to hire more public employees at the state level, Gov. Christie refused to take the bait, saying that approach “is always a temporary band-aid,” when applied as a means to reduce unemployment. “The fact of the matter is I have more government employees per square mile than any state in America. Please don’t send me any more money to hire more public employees. Please don’t.” H/T Riehl World View
