The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

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 […]

Violence Against Women Update

Wow, has it been nearly two years since I used that headline? I created the Violence Against Women category specifically for the kind of “violence against women that feminists will ignore.” You can call it “intersectionality” or just call it hypocrisy, but if you pay attention a while, you’ll notice that there seems to be […]

ISLAMIC TERRORISM IN TEXAS? UPDATE: ‘Property of Allah’ Shirt

Please note the question mark in the headline, because officials are not saying that it definitely is terrorism, but it kind of looks like it: The Federal Bureau of Investigation says it has discovered evidence at the scene of the mass shooting at a popular Austin nightclub that indicates a potential nexus to terrorism. During […]

Behind Enemy Lines In NOVA, The Fairfax County GOP Met Today

by Smitty The lower half of the Fairfax High School auditorium was full, as just over 400 delegates from the various districts met. The population of the county is over a million, and votes +20D, but that is no excuse for failure to participate, especially for State-wide contests. Proceedings opened just ahead of 0930 with […]

An Odd Sequel to the Bubba/‘Brittni’ Saga

It’s been more than two years and most readers have probably forgotten the disturbing story of the late Fred “Bubba” Copeland: Copeland was the mayor of Smiths Station, a town of less than 7,000 people in Lee County, Alabama. He was also a freakazoid, secretly pursuing transgender fantasies that he posted online using a persona […]
