Stop the Gerrymander, Virginia!

If the election of Abigail Spanberger as governor of Virginia has proven anything, it’s that there are no more “moderate” Democrats. Since taking office in January, Spanberger has been ramming through a left-wing agenda that might be more suitable to Berkeley, California, than to the Old Dominion, and the very worst of it is the […]

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 […]

Because You Asked: ‘What in the Actual Hell is Happening in North Carolina?’

The headline question was asked in the wake of this: The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is searching for the woman who stabbed a pregnant woman outside the Harris Teeter [grocery store]. It happened on Wednesday [March 18] around 11 a.m. in the Cotswold Village Shopping Center. The 38-year-old pregnant woman told Channel 9 she was getting […]

Officials noted that Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, who attempted to […]

D.E.I. + A.I. = O.M.G.!

One of my sons is a lawyer, and the youngest is currently a first-year law student, and the stories they tell me about the use of AI (artificial intelligence) by both law students and practicing lawyers are disturbing. You may think “fake news” is bad, but fake law is much worse. Last year, I wrote […]

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 […]
