Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Wow! Wow! From a lawyer’s point of view, it’s hard to imagine anything more stupid than for the Obama White House to assert executive privilege as to the Fast and Furious documents. The subpoenaed documents must have some pretty damning information for the White House to make this move. More
Continue readingIn ordinary times, criminals disregard the law. In the PC Obama era, however, elected officials and state government agencies don’t have much use for the law either. Take Obama, for example. Contrary to the original headlines regarding Obama’s newly discovered immigration rights, Obama’s recent announcement regarding illegal immigration isn’t an
Continue readingWhat do you think of this ad? I think it’s a very pithy summary of what Fast and Furious is all about. It should get wide play. It looks very much as if Obama has the political personality of Richard Nixon and the political acumen of Jimmy Carter. Wow. (And
Continue readingOne of the scarier moments in my life occurred back in 1987, when I was traveling with my mother in still-Communist Prague. We’d originally planned to stay there six days, but a three-day taste of Communism — the shabbiness, the sullen people, the dirty air, the vile food — was
Continue reading[UPDATE: This is why what we’re doing is so desperately important. Not only are some police turning a blind eye to Kimberlin’s activities (as described below), some of them are being innocently coopted into becoming armed weapons in Kimberlin’s campaign.] [UPDATE: Bumped this so new visitors to the site can
Continue readingTwo years ago, Audi put out a very funny Super Bowl commercial about the “Green Police,” armed law enforcement agents who took down people violating eco laws: Because life imitates art in Obama’s America, there’s a not-so-funny story out of Lowell, Massachusetts. It seems that a man who has leased
Continue reading“Facts are stubborn things.” I love that quotation. John Adams said it back in 1774 when he took on the unpopular job of defending the British troops charged with the killings in the event now known as the Boston Massacre. Arguing off those same stubborn facts, Adams was able to
Continue readingThe caste system to which I refer in my post title is not the shrieks and threats arising from the media’s trial, judgment, and conviction of George Zimmerman. Instead, I’m talking about the way in which the media and establishment have different expectations depending whether Muslims are accused of killing
Continue readingI’ve got a new post up at the PJ Tatler: For the past few days, the internet has been buzzing about two amazing self-defense stories, each involving young people. The first to hit the wires was the story of 19-year old Sarah McKinley. On Christmas Day, McKinley’s 58-year old husband
Continue readingNot only is this a beautiful example of self-defense (watch Derek Mothershead move in smoothly, disable the robber’s gun hand, and throw a powerful left hook haymaker at the robber, landing him on the floor), I just love Mothershead’s money quotation about this serial criminal: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGLU1l_Knao[/youtube] If he wants money.
Continue readingI never thought there’d come a day when I’d agree with Andrew Sullivan, but I just saw a pig fly by outside my window, so this must be the day. He and Megan McArdle have differing views about the appropriate response when you see your boss raping a child. Here’s
Continue readingIn the wake of the horrific child abuse scandal roiling Penn State, many have been trying to understand how Sandusky’s predatory behavior could have continued unchecked for so long. The focal point of this “how could this happen” question is the fact that Mike McQueary actually witnessed an assault. Rather
Continue readingThe headline was “FBI lists Juggalos on gang watch list.” I was very confused. The FBI put a song on a gang watch list?! A little investigation, revealed my error. “Juggalos” is not the same as “Juegalo.” The latter is a great song: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8LqUYBSl0Q[/youtube] (Or see here.) The former is

The “Fast and Furious” gunwalker scandal, involving potential collusion from the top of our government to funnel automatic weapons and explosives to drug cartels operating within and
