Gavin Newsom’s ‘Cougar Crossing’ Is the Perfect Symbol of Californication

Behind schedule and over budget and probably doomed to failure — this is a succinct summary of what is officially known as the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, but is now being sarcastically called the “California Cougar Crossing,” a monumental waste of California taxpayers’ money. In January, World Animal News published a happy tale: A groundbreaking […]

The Terrorist and the 12th District

Two decades ago, the phrase “Dearbornistan” became common among conservative bloggers during the Global War on Terror, because of the notorious cluster of Islamic radicals in the Detroit surburb of Dearborn. As soon as I heard about Thursday’s attack on a synagogue in West Bloomfield — before anything had been reported about the suspect’s identity […]

‘Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbour’ (Exodus 12:16)

Not every day I quote the King James Bible in a headline, but it seems that some people don’t understand why the Ninth Commandment is so important that God felt the need to include it in the Top Ten. Making false accusations is both a sin and a crime, and it can also be a […]

When the Jokes Just Write Themselves

Talk about an easy layup. That headline is such an invitation to sarcastic responses that I would be ashamed to make wisecracks. As is my habit when I encounter something like this, the first question that crossed my mind was, “Who is this person?” Immediately I turn to Google to try to get the writer’s […]

Violence Against Women Update

Wow, has it been nearly two years since I used that headline?

ISLAMIC TERRORISM IN TEXAS? UPDATE: ‘Property of Allah’ Shirt

Please note the question mark in the headline, because officials are not saying that it definitely is terrorism, but it kind of looks like it: The Federal Bureau of Investigation says it has discovered evidence at the scene of the mass shooting at a popular Austin nightclub that indicates a potential nexus to terrorism. During […]

‘Major Combat Operations’ in Iran UPDATE: Is the Ayatollah Dead, or Not? UPDATE: He’s ‘Pining for the Fjords’

UPDATE 5:10 p.m. ET: The Associated Press: Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a major attack on Iran launched by Israel and the United States, Israeli officials told The Associated Press on Saturday. There was no immediate comment from the U.S. or Iran on his status. The old Monty Python parrot sketch reference […]

The Worst People in the World (Part II)

You will never understand liberals until you read Thomas Sowell’s The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy. However often I’ve recommended that book over the years, I occasionally feel the need to repeat the recommendation for the simple reason that Sowell demystifies what would otherwise be incomprehensible, i.e., the persistent […]
