‘Drop the Knife!’
Two weeks ago, we brought you the story of Daniel Hernandez, who was shot to death in Los Angeles after refusing to comply with a police officer’s repeated command: “Drop the knife!” You might think people would have learned this lesson by now, but stupidity is pandemic: An intoxicated, knife-wielding man was shot as he […]
Stupid Is as Stupid Does
From Louisiana comes this tale of young criminal masterminds: Two people are accused of committing murder during an armed robbery in Ouachita Parish. According to court documents, it happened on Brown Street in Richwood on July 29, 2020. Louisiana State Police say they were notified of an alleged homicide around 5 p.m. that same […]
Herman Cain, R.I.P.
My brother Kirby took that photo of Herman Cain when we visited the studios of WSB radio in Atlanta. Mr. Cain had just returned to the airwaves after surviving a serious battle with cancer, and I’d traveled down to interview him for The Washington Times.

Antifa Trash Fire Roundup

Every Democrat unloaded a sort of sermon accusing Barr of various malfeasances — treason, […]

Perhaps you might criticize […]
Origins of an Error
Success does not need excuses, and the United States has been arguably the greatest success story in world history. Scarcely 150 years from the establishment of the first English colonies here, the American nation developed such strength as to be able to win its independence in a protacted war against the British empire which […]
Arson, Shooting in ‘Mostly Peaceful’ Protests Against Police Brutality
Don’t call them “riots.” They’re Joe Biden campaign rallies: A Black Lives Matter protester has been shot dead during a march in Austin, as a youth detention center and police precinct have been torched in Seattle and demonstrators gather again in Portland amid stand-offs with Donald Trump’s federal agents. One protester was shot and […]
