Crazy People Are Dangerous
Say hello to Noemi Guzman and, while you’re at it, go ahead and say good-bye, because Omaha Police on Tuesday saved Nebraska taxpayers the cost of incarcerating Guzman forever: An attempted kidnapping at an Omaha Walmart ended with a child injured and a woman dead. According to Omaha police, officers were called to the Walmart […]
NY Times Keeps Lying About Everything, Including the Basic Facts of Life
It should go without saying that you should never trust anything published by the New York Times, but Dartmouth College economics professor Paul Novosad has done a great service with this latest demonstration of the NYT “fake news” phenomenon. The Upshot is a section of the New York Times that advertises itself as providing “analytical […]
Natives vs. Newcomers in Virginia: What ‘Spanberger’s Lobster’ Is Really About
When I was a young newspaper staffer in Rome, Georgia, my boss was Pierre-Rene Noth. He was half-Jewish and half-Catholic. His father had been a left-wing journalist in France before the family fled the Nazis. Pierre was very liberal, but when it came to journalism, his motto was “local, local, local.” Realizing that news consumers […]
Memo From the National Desk: Tales of Fear and Loathing in the Commonwealth
LOUISA, Virginia — It was a lovely 150-mile drive to get here for today’s “VOTE NO” rally at the Louisa County Courthouse. A sunny spring day, with the trees turning green, and the picturesque scenery of central Virginia, adorned with signs that the Old Dominion ain’t dead yet. “VOTE NO” signs are all over rural […]
Stop the Gerrymander, Virginia!
If the election of Abigail Spanberger as governor of Virginia has proven anything, it’s that there are no more “moderate” Democrats. Since taking office in January, Spanberger has been ramming through a left-wing agenda that might be more suitable to Berkeley, California, than to the Old Dominion, and the very worst of it is the […]
The Big Yellow Button Is Back Again!
We are now less than three months away from the 250th anniversary of American independence, which means that the “Early Bird Special” at my favorite fireworks wholesaler will soon be ending. That’s the shortest explanation for why I’ve once again super-sized the PayPal “donate” button for the benefit of near-sighted readers who otherwise may have […]
The Christine Blasey Ford Standard and the Sudden Destruction of Eric Swalwell
Far be it from me to defend Eric Swalwell, now accused of rape and other “inappropriate” behavior by at least four women. If CNN is willing to vouch for the credibility of Swalwell’s accusers, then certainly I will not cast doubt on their veracity. However, I have never supported Swalwell, and have not voted for […]
‘Independent Journalist,’ My Ass!
The tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (CACG) was founded in 2005 by two Democrats, Tom Perriello and Alexia Kelley. CACG “received at least $450,000 in financial support from the massive George Soros philanthropy network from 2006-2010.” A memo that leaked in 2016 credited CACG with shaping President Obama’s 2009 speech […]
