NOAH ROTHMAN: War Is Interested In You. “No one wants perpetual war, but that is precisely what the West has invited with its displays of faltering resolution and its commitment to conduct a war with the smallest possible footprint. Meanwhile, Western values are slowly eroded as we grow more comfortable with soldiers on the streets, metadata retention programs, and theatrical displays like TSA airport screenings.”

It is also seen as a reminder that similar algorithmic breakthroughs are possible that could weaken the tough-to-crack problems at the heart of the cryptography protecting the world’s digital secrets.”

TAXPROF ROUNDUP: The IRS Scandal, Day 919.

REMEMBER JUST A FEW YEARS AGO, WHEN “PEAK OIL” WAS A THING, AND ANYONE WHO DOUBTED IT WAS A BIG-OIL-FUNDED “DENIER?” Oil Supply Reaches High Water Mark.

“Peak oil” concerns seem like something out of the distant past at this point, as today’s discussion of the global oil market centers on the seemingly ever-growing supply of crude. . . .

In fact, the world has so much oil that abundance is actually becoming a logistical problem: We’re not sure where to stash all the crude sloshing around the global market. Most onshore storage sites are full-up at this point, so producers have taken to offloading their cargo onto tankers and anchoring the ships off the coasts of major oil ports. Houston, for example, had some 41 tankers idling outside its port last week. . . .

Brent crude is currently trading below $44 per barrel, and America’s West Texas Intermediate benchmark is barely above $40. When we look at the supply side of the market, it’s not hard to see why prices have fallen so dramatically, and, with demand unlikely to rise enough to offset this glut, prices seem set to stay a bargain for the foreseeable future. Producers like U.S. shale firms and OPEC’s petrostates will be discouraged by this news, but consumers, at least, ought to be delighted.

Indeed.

DRINKING TO BLUR PARTY LINES:

There was perhaps a time in America when your political affiliation was a modest part of your identity, like your preference for the Rotary Club over the Lions Club, or for Fords over Chevys. Perhaps. If that time ever existed, it is clearly gone. Increasingly, politics is tangled up with your choices about everything from friendship to cars. The Republican who likes avant-garde novels and $200 nose-to-tail dinners, the Democrat who confesses to an unironic affection for Nascar and marshmallow Jell-O salad — these aberrations may be tolerated, but there will always be a little asterisk next to their names, denoting a suspicion that they are not reliable party faithful.

In such an environment, no detail of your consumption should be left to the happenstance of personal taste, lest you inadvertently signal some sympathy with the amoral cretins of the opposition. Your house, your clothes, your home furnishings — are all reflections of who you are as a person, which is to say, as a voter. Even your choice of wines may be safely left up to political ideology, now that National Review on the right and the Nation on the left have started offering wine clubs to their fans.

Naturally, I had to subscribe to both. I imagined a titanic showdown between the somewhat stuffy traditionalist wines of the heirs to William F. Buckley, and the strident cosmopolitanism of the Nation’s approach. Then I placed the orders, and realized that both wine clubs are supplied by the same third-party company.

There just might be a lesson there. . . .

On the other hand, he chided the Benghazi committee for “fighting like cats and dogs” and called CNBC editor Rick Santelli’s rallying cry that inspired the Tea Party movement “clownish.”

Nope, no bias there.

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Marco Rubio: Gun Laws Fail Everywhere.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) says gun laws have never worked and is urging fellow Republicans to defend Second Amendment rights.

“We must always be the party that protects the Second Amendment,” the 2016 contender said during the Sunshine Summit in Orlando on Friday.

“Gun laws fail everywhere they’re tried,” he added. “Law-abiding people follow the laws, while criminals don’t.

Well, that’s certainly been the experience in Brazil, where they’re now considering a more American approach. So maybe there’s hope for New Jersey!
