Crime Reduction in Polk County, Florida

Say hello to 21-year-old Alex Michael Greene and, while you’re at it, go ahead and say good-bye, because Mr. Greene shuffled off this mortal coil yesterday in Polk County: Pandemonium took over on Winter Haven’s Havendale Boulevard at about 2 p.m. Monday when a suspect connected to last week’s mass shooting in Lakeland fled from […]

Crazy People Are Dangerous: Canadian Child Actor Dopehead Matricide Edition

Like most Canadians, Ryan Grantham looks harmless. He’s only 5-foot-2 and began appearing in movies and TV shows as a child. But despite his innocent appearance, Grantham is a deadly menace. Like most Canadians. It is probably not necessary for me to remind readers of my longtime advocacy of thermonuclear warfare against Canada, which I […]

Next Media Narrative: How Joe Biden Defeated the Evil Chinese Spy Balloon

The first 20 minutes on Meet the Press will be devoted to praising Joe Biden’s courage — his steely-eyed resolve and decisiveness — in ordering the Air Force to shoot down this threat to America: A U.S. military aircraft on Saturday downed the suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that had been floating over the United States […]

‘We May Never Learn the Full Story’

No sooner do I finish one long rant about media bias than another egregious example comes to my attention. The phrase in the headline comes from the last paragraph of an obtuse article in The Nation about the Jan. 18 death of Manuel Esteban Paez Terán, a/k/a “Tortuguita.” In case you missed it, “Tortuguita” was […]

It took me more than a […]

The Long Overdue and Much Awaited Return of Aspiring Rapper Update

If it’s bad news that three men went missing in Detroit, is it good news when they are found? We report, you decide: Two missing rappers and their friend were found dead in an abandoned Michigan apartment building Thursday — nearly two weeks after they disappeared the night their gig was canceled. Investigators discovered the bodies […]

MSNBC: ‘January 6 Now! January 6 Tomorrow! January 6 Forever!’

What is it with some people named Wallace, eh? At any rate, today my office TV was tuned to Fox News until I got bored with endless repetition: “THE CHINESE SPY BALLOON!” So at 4 p.m., I changed the channel to MSNBC and thereby entered a time warp, as Nicolle Wallace spent the first 22 […]

‘A Very Minuscule Number’

Shamann Walton was first elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 2018 from District 10, the voting-age population of which is about 42% Asian, 21% white, 19% black and 15% Hispanic. After being reelected as supervisor in 2020, Walton was chosen by his fellow members of the Board of Supervisors to be president […]
