Monday Links

On the 35th anniversary of the Mount St. Helens eruption, some stories from today:

From Politico, Medicaid signups under Obamacare's expansion of that program increase so much that some Republican governors are thinking "I told you so."

From Yahoo Finance, Obamacare may have negatively affected consumer spending.

From Grabien, President Obama cuts back the flow of "military-style" equipment to local police departments.

In Frontpage Mag, Bruce Thornton says "We're still dumbing down the Iraq war."

In National Review, Quin Hillyer asks Jeb Bush (R), who can't seem to figure out what to think about the Iraq war, "Why Art Thou Even Running?"

From The Washington Times, former Governor John Sununu (R-NH) calls hindsight questions about the Iraq war "dumb".

Also from The Washington Times, the Supreme Court has struck down a Maryland tax law on income earned in other states.

From Breitbart's Big Government, according to presidential candidate and Maryland resident Dr. Ben Carson (R), presidential candidate Hillary Clinton (D) "realizes the less she talks, the better off she is."  (A good idea for politicians in general, maybe?)

From The Blaze, the Supreme Court rules that a convicted felon may transfer his guns to someone else, as long as the felon no longer has control over them.

From Reuters, a U.S. Appeals Court has reversed part of a verdict that Apple won against Samsung.

From WGN, service on the Chicago Transit's Yellow Line has been suspended due to an embankment under the tracks giving way.

From CBS News, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) gives his reasons for running for president, even though he hasn't yet announced his candidacy.

From Weasel Zippers, CNN commentator Sally Kohn complains that the bikers who fought in Waco, Texas aren't being called "terrorists" or "thugs".

And from the Chicago Tribune, a tongue-in-cheek review of the latest Mad Max movie, in which the reviewer feared that while watching the movie, he might lose part of his anatomy.
