FBI Probes Belgian Terrorist Threat

  As I’ve previously explained, Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs first alerted America to the danger of Belgian extremists, and whenever The Flemish Menace™ makes another terrorist attack, it’s important to give Charles credit. Consider the latest news from Pensacola: The F.B.I. was investigating but did not confirm a report that the Saudi trainee […]

The Impeachment Circus Continues, But Does Any Sane Person Actually Care?

  I’ve spent the past week ignoring the impeachment circus, but did you know that “the Trump campaign took in $15 million in small-dollar donations in the first three days after Pelosi announced the inquiry”? Did you know that Trump’s approval rating has gone up since the Shifty Schiff UkraineGate hearings began last month? Not […]

Add in a few hassles in so-called “real life,” including a trip to the Veteran’s Administration […]

How #StickToSports Became the New #LearnToCode — Deadspin Is Dead

  “There was a time, about ten years ago, when I could write like Grantland Rice. Not necessarily because I believed all that sporty bullshit, but because sportswriting was the only thing I could do that anybody was willing to pay for. And none of the people I wrote about seemed to give a hoot […]

Katie Hill and Her Victimhood Narrative

  As I remarked the other day, the Katie Hill sex scandal is actually a media scandal, given the role played by the “Democratic Party operatives with bylines” in helping elect the naked bisexual to Congress. Of course, then, when her own unethical behavior forced her from office, the disgraced Democrat claimed to be a […]

The Katie Hill Blame Game
