Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four Idaho college students with a knife, has accepted a plea deal. He will plead guilty in exchange for prosecutors taking the death penalty off the table. The plea deal — the defense requested an offer from the prosecution — will take the death penalty off the table...
Hint: It’s not the reason you think. Well, not entirely, anyway. David mentioned Gallup’s latest survey results briefly in his post about Bernie Sanders, but it’s worth a longer look in the context of Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic Socialist win in the Democrats’ New York City mayoral primary. Gallup conducted another iteration of its...
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between what is real and what is fake. There was a time when we thought we could count on journalists to at least TRY to distinguish between reality and hoaxes, although perhaps our faith has always been misplaced. Now, when I see or read something, I always have to...
There’s a little town all the way up, waaay north, called Galena, Alaska. If you look at a map of the state, it’s what we Marines would call ‘center mass,’ or darn near right smack dab in the middle of the state. There’s been a military airfield in town since World War II, and the Air Force...
So says Punchbowl News’s Samantha Handler, who hears it from John Thune, who hears it from the holdouts in the GOP caucus. The reconciliation bill only needs 51 votes to pass, and Thune has 53 in his caucus, but wrangling them turned into a nightmare that will have consequences when the bill returns to the...
The Big Beautiful Bill is getting close to passage–maybe–and Elon Musk is very unhappy. And when Elon is unhappy, everybody knows it, including Donald Trump, who, in turn, is unhappy with Elon. And when these guys are unhappy, everybody else knows it immediately. Elon famously hates the Big Beautiful Bill because it blows up the...
Get ready for the Ayatollah’s revenge for the loss of his nuclear-weapons program! No, I’m not referring to the alleged Iranian sleeper cells that the Joe Biden Regency allowed into the US, and which Tom Homan is presently rounding up. The Iranians have an even bigger bombshell to drop on Donald Trump … Stormy Daniels....
There is nothing unique, unfortunately, about people offering the lives of their children to the gods. The Abrahamic religions were born out of the revelation from God that He does not demand such sacrifices–in fact, that they are wrong. Unfortunately, one of those religions–Islam, or at least the radical Islamist version of Islam–has reverted to...
I came across this story today and thought it was pretty funny. Then I looked around and discovered it was part of a trend. There have been quite a few stories in the last few weeks about Gen-Z office workers and how truly special they are. In San Francisco, some managers have decided to hire...
On the last day of what used to be Pride Month – you know, before most everyone regained both their intestinal fortitude and their sanity – I thought this little tidbit would be kind of an ironic way to sign the fading rainbow days away. Bid a less-than-fond adieu to the weary woke, as it...
Stephen Ireland was the co-founder a Surrey Pride, a pro LGBT group launched in 2018. He used that position to repeatedly attack J.K. Rowling as a hateful “TERF” over several years. Today, Ireland was convicted of raping a child and sentenced to 30 years in prison. His then-boyfriend was also convicted. A man has been...
Some jokes write themselves. The projection is off the charts. It’s clearly a strategy that an actual Stalinist party would use. — Kyle Becker (@kylenabecker) June 30, 2025 Coming from a political party that redefines words, airbrushes history, employs groups like Antifa to bully people, uses the security services to censor people, and works mightily...
There is civil war taking place within the Sinaloa drug cartel and the body count is piling up. This story was published today. Twenty bodies, several of them decapitated, were found on a highway bridge in a part of Mexico where factions of the Sinaloa drug cartel are fighting each other, authorities said Monday. Four...
It’s as if the voting British public expected RESULTS, or something. I mean, C’MON, man! Starmer’s only been Prime Minister, what? A year? Surely one can’t expect miracles, less mind promises to be kept in that little bit of time, even if the government had any intention of keeping whatever promises they made to begin...
Orwell was wrong. Well, not quite. He was just 40 years early in predicting that Great Britain would become a totalitarian regime that wipes away history, common sense, and freedom of thought. And even he could never have imagined the development of woke ideology, because cultural Marxism is even less sane than mere economic Marxism,...
