‘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 […]

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 […]

‘He Was Mr. BLM’

Big hat-tip to Luke Rosiak of the Daily Wire for calling attention to a story I missed last year. Probably gonna write more about this later on my Substack, but it’s a big enough story I can give you the gist of it here and still have plenty left to chew on over there. Ten […]

THIS! THIS! I VOTED FOR THIS! 100%

Heather Schwedel is a writer for Slate, which was one of the pioneering political commentary sites back in the […]

The instruction came after Calvin found NPR reporters had quoted the University of Richmond law professor 77 times on a variety of topics. “If Tobias’s name sounds familiar, […]

‘The Best People’: MSNBC’s Podcast for Trump Derangement Syndrome Sufferers

Has anyone else ever wondered what happened to Nicolle Wallace? She entered politics as a Republican Party operative, becoming press secretary for Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at age 27, in which role she helped fight the month-long battle over the 2000 Florida election recount. Wallace joined the White House staff during George W. Bush’s first […]

‘Revenge for What, Brian?’

The coverage on CNN — and all the other mainstream media — frames the story the same way: Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by a grand jury because of “Trump’s revenge.” The context of what Comey actually did is an afterthought, if mentioned at all, and the accusation of perjury and obstruction is […]
