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 […]

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 […]

Arithmetic vs. Liberal Narrative: Who Is Killing ‘Transgender Women of Color’?

One of the difficulties of arguing with liberals is that so many of them seem unable to grasp basic concepts like per capita and correlation. Any attempt to discuss crime and law enforcement will inevitably devolve into a shouting match because liberals are so prejudiced in favor of leniency — the “turn-’em-loose” school of social […]

Scandal-Plagued Former FBI Chief Robert Mueller Dies in Disagrace at Age 81

De mortuis nil nisi bonum is always wise policy, which Democrats never follow whenever one of their enemies die. Democrats hate without apology, but become indignant if Republicans return the favor. Readers might notice that the headline of this obituary is perhaps not a model of journalistic objectivity, but that’s the whole point. You see, […]

‘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%

If the Trump administration never accomplished anything else, this would be sufficient cause to call it an overwhelming success: The Department of Justice (DOJ) charged former CNN host Don Lemon with federal civil rights crimes after he live streamed anti-ICE protesters storming a church in Minnesota. Lemon, who was arrested on Thursday, was charged with “conspiracy and […]
