Anarchy in Minneapolis: Democrats Celebrate Rioters Who Burned Down City

  Anarchy is the worst of evils that can afflict a people. Societies can survive the cruelty of tyrants and the blunders of demogratic governments, but anarchy — the destruction of law — brings about a state of affairs in which no man’s life or property is safe. Minneapolis did not have to go up […]

‘Fact-Based Truth’: MSNBC Demonized Ron DeSantis; Where’s the Apology?

  Mike Barnicle, Morning Joe, Monday, March 23: “Joe, if you talk to a lot of experts — I was fortunate enough to spend most of Friday afternoon around one of the greatest hospitals in the world, Brigham and Women’s here in Boston — you find out their view of what they’re looking at and […]

Ahmaud Arbery: Focus on Media Bias, Because ‘The Issue Is Never the Issue’

  Andrew Branca, an attorney specializing in self-defense cases, has referred to the “propaganda circus” surrounding the death of Ahmaud Arbery. One of the problems I’ve encountered is that, while my attention to the case has focused on the issue of media bias, which is what this “circus” is actually about, many people seem to […]

Tater Tots With Russia Sauce

  Simple recipe: 1 fat bald CNN personality with zero self-awareness; Several dozen of his own words; Combine ingredients. Bake for one minute and six seconds. Laugh.   (Hat-tip: Ed Driscoll at Instapundit.) Apologies for the lack of blogging today. I crawled down through the layers of media bias in coverage of the Ahmaud Arbery […]

Georgia on My Mind

  “It seemed like a good idea at the time” is not a strong defense in a murder trial, and the question everybody seems to be asking in regard to the death of Ahmaud Arbery is why Gregory McMichael and his son thought it was a good idea to grab their guns, jump in their […]

Blue-State Media Continue Wishcasting Coronavirus Epidemic in Red States

  Since mid-March, at least, we have seen endless reiterations of this narrative: “Oh, sure, the virus is devastating Democratic-controlled urban areas now,” the media keep saying, “but just you wait — eventually those Trump voters out in the sticks will pay the price!” Two assumptions are baked into this narrative: Trump is to blame […]

Joe Biden’s Partisan Media Protection Bubble Has Finally Begun Collapsing

  Let’s be clear what’s going on here: If the liberal media really believed that Joe Biden could beat Trump in November, they would have stonewalled Tara Reade’s accusations forever. But as partisan as they are, they are not blind, and anyone who watched Biden stumbling in every media appearance the past two months can […]

‘They Always Blame America First’

  One of the decisive moments of the Cold War, in my opinion, was Jeanne Kirkpatrick’s speech at the 1984 Republican National Convention. In the post-Vietnam era, Democrats had adopted a “human rights” approach to foreign policy that tended toward a stance of moral relativism between Soviet-sponsored Marxist-Leninist regimes and their opponents. A sort of […]
