Like to laugh? Like to be informed? Then sign up for TheDC Morning email here.

1.) Meet the “powerful voices” trying to stop Anthony Weiner — Weiner says powerful forces are trying to sink his campaign — and they are. TheDC’s Caroline May reports:

“New York Mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner released his campaign’s first television ad Monday, charging that ‘powerful voices’ do not want him to become mayor. The 30-second ad does not address the  allegations of sexting that have plagued Weiner’s campaign, but instead focused on his plans for the city. ‘I’ve waged a campaign focused like a laser beam on fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it,’ Weiner says in the ad, looking directly into the camera. ‘I’ve put out two books of new ideas, 125 of them in fact. Everything from restoring discipline in our schools to creating a single payer health plan for our city.'”

You want to know who these “powerful voices” are? You ready? They are known as the voting public.

2.) Still around — TheDC’s Jamie Weinstein writes of three people you probably think are dead, but are still alive, including the great Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon: 

“On Jan. 4, 2006, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a devastating stroke. For the past seven and a half years, Sharon has been in comatose-like state, though his doctors say it is actually a ‘minimal conscious level’ — not a coma. Earlier this year, tests indicated that Sharon had ‘significant’ brain activity when shown photos by his family or played a recording of his son’s voice. ‘We know that he can process pictures — pictures of faces,’  Dr. Alon Friedman of Ben Gurion University told CNN. ‘And he can even differentiate between pictures of faces and pictures of houses, pictures of his family to other objects. He can differentiate between words that were spoken to him by his son, compared to a noise.'”

See who the other two are by reading the article.

3.) Hillary 2016? — Is Hillary Clinton running for president? Yes, unless something completely unexpected happens. TheDC’s Patrick Howley reports on more evidence of her impending run: 

“Hillary Clinton’s traveling press secretary from her last presidential campaign will now run messaging efforts for the Democratic National Committee (DNC), in yet another sign that Democrats are circling around Clinton in preparation for the 2016 presidential election. Mo Elleithee, who served as Clinton’s traveling campaign press secretary when the former first lady and U.S. senator ran for president in 2008, has been named the new communications director for the DNC, replacing Brad Woodhouse. ‘Mo’s experience working in the public sector, the private sector, on issue advocacy and electoral campaigns at every level will make him an invaluable asset at the DNC and for Democrats across the country,’ said DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.”

4.) Biden 2016? — Also could be titled: Will Americans vote to kill the country? Gabe Finger reports for TheDC:

“Vice President Joe Biden will deliver the keynote address at Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin’s steak fry dinner next month in Iowa. The dinner, one of the biggest Democratic Party events in the state that hosts the first electoral contest of the presidential primary season, has been a showcase for Democrats considering a presidential run.”

Perhaps TheDC Morning was a bit harsh with the alternative title. Biden won’t kill the country, exactly. He’ll just screw things up worse than they already are while make us an international laughing stock. And that will just be in his first 100 days.

5.) Tweet of Yesterday — David A. Graham: Has anyone ever seen David Horowitz and Salman Rushdie at the same time? They look very similar and both hate Islamists.

6.) Today in North Korean News — BREAKING: “Songdowon Bathing Resort Crowded with People”

VIDEO:  Conrad Black attacks media agenda: ‘That’s why Rush Limbaugh has 30 million listeners’

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
