The Murder of Mohammad Anwar

The word “tragedy” is often used by the media to describe deaths that aren’t really tragic, but the murder of an Uber Eats driver in Washington, D.C., last week certainly deserves that description. Mohammad Anwar, 66, was a grandfather, a native of Pakistan whose family described him as “a hardworking immigrant who came to the […]

Joe Biden’s Potemkin ‘Press Conference’

Let us be clear: What Joe Biden did Thursday was a superficial simulacrum of an actual press conference, a performance stage-managed as carefully as a Wagner opera, intended for the sole purpose of creating the illusion that the elderly fool is not yet completely senile. White House aides supplied Biden with a photo guide to […]

More Bisexual Tumblrina Craziness (and Other Random Insanity Updates)

The phrase “crazy Tumblrina” is wrong, because it’s redundant. No sane person is on Tumblr, and if you add bisexual to the descriptor (i.e., “crazy bisexual Tumblrina”), you’ve just wasted two words, because basically everyone on Tumblr is bisexual, or at least somewhere on the LGBTQ spectrum. But mostly, yeah, they’re bisexual. Let us parse […]

Syrian Immigrant Ahmad Al-Issa Identified as Boulder Gunman

Early this morning — it was about 2:30 a.m. — I noted that there was something odd about how police were dealing with the shooting in Boulder. Even though they had the shooter in custody, they didn’t name him. Why? What purpose was served by withholding that information? It was not until about 11 a.m. […]
