Cop Shoots White Guy Named ‘Kevin’

Kevin Alan Smallman, 32, was a career criminal. Notice my use of the past tense verb “was.” Kevin assumed room temperature in January, with the assistance of a police officer in Chandler, Arizona. Smallman had served time in prison for burglary and DUI, and after being released in 2017, he did not “go legit.” On […]

Make Birthdays Great Again

Say hello to Jason, an Ohio boy who turned 12 years old yesterday. Because it was Election Day, and because Jason’s a big Trump supporter — it’s Ohio, which went for Trump by an 8-point margin — his family gave him a MAGA-themed birthday party.

Also, I’m running past deadline on a 2,500-word piece for the print edition of The American Spectator, in which I evaluate the prospects of a post-election civil war. (Spoiler: […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Honor Blackman

— compiled by Wombat-socho Silicon Valley delenda est. It was very tempting to do a reprise of Diana Rigg, since she’s clearly the best Bond Girl, but unfortunately her James Bond was the soft & floppy George Lazenby instead of Sean Connery (RIP) so there went that connection. Instead, I went with another actress who […]

Damn It, Iowa — No Hope Allowed!

As I have explained, maintaining my mental health during the final weeks of the campaign requires me to avoid anything that might give me hope that Donald Trump could be elected. This is actually easy, given how most polls show Joe Biden cruising to a landslide victory. The NBC/Wall Street Journal poll has Biden winning […]
