Today the NY Times published a lengthy article about the high rate of suicide among police officers. American policing has paid much attention to the dangers faced in the line of duty, from shootouts to ambushes, but it has long neglected a greater threat to officers: themselves. More cops kill themselves every year than are...
Due process for me, not for thee. This story seems to put to rest the Democrats’ commitment to due process. A Heartland Institute/Rasmussen Reports poll has found that 7 out of 10 Democrats would like to see a law passed that would put Elon Musk in jail. FULL STORY:https://t.co/EqwfwI5MAs — Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) May 8,...
Isn’t it amazing how the Protection Racket Media has taken a sudden interest in cognitive disability in Washington DC? And isn’t it amazing what qualifies as symptoms these days? For instance, Joe Biden being bullied by the Easter Bunny, repeatedly losing his train of thought in public, and literally falling down didn’t alarm the Philadelphia...
The Albany Times Union is reporting today, based on anonymous sources, that the FBI has opened an investigation into New York AG Letitia James’ real estate transactions. The FBI in Albany has opened a formal criminal investigation examining the real estate and mortgage transactions of New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to law enforcement...
Blue cities sure love their taxes, and they collect them like Daffy Duck clambering up the side of the pile of gold in Aladdin’s Cave, screaming ‘MINE, MINE, MINE!‘ What’s yours is theirs, theirs, theirs. And they tax it all – everything they can – even if you’re only there for an outing. God...
Something tells me that the foreign-student agitator issue won’t trouble Columbia University for long. They may not get the chance to be troubled by foreign students at all after yesterday’s disgraceful paroxysm of anti-Semitic intimidation and violence. As both John and David have already recounted, pro-Hamas demonstrators seized control of yet another building on the...
There is a left-wing meme being pushed that President Trump’s trade deal with the UK is a sham. As I peruse X to keep up with the news and the Narrative™, NeverTrumpers are trying to pour cold water on Trump’s talk of a deal. It’s for obvious reasons: the more it looks like Trump’s tariffs...
Credit my friend and colleague Katie Pavlich for this disappointing scoop. Rather than continue to fight down to the wire and risk a judicial appointment for US Attorney in Washington DC, Donald Trump has decided to throw in the towel. Ed Martin, a favorite among Trump’s MAGA followers, will instead land in another role at...
As Ed just pointed out, Columbia did a better job handling the pro-Hamas activists on campus yesterday than it has previously. In the evening nearly 80 students who had refused to identify themselves were arrested. I wanted to follow up on a few loose threads. NYPD now arresting student protestors from Columbia University library @CBSNewYork...
This is no malfunction in the Sistine Chapel furnace. That happened in the earlier vote, when a brief puff of white smoke emanated from the morning ballot at the conclave. The Vatican has confirmed that the cardinal electors have chosen a new pontiff to lead the Catholic Church: BREAKING: White smoke appears from the Sistine...
Mark Halperin of 2Way has quite the scoop today. It’s not that the Biden grift is basically done–that, in itself, is not a shocker. It’s that the Biden family is so dependent on the political influence of the patriarch that the money is running out quickly, and the family is headed, if not into penury,...
Wow. Whatever the ongoing consequences of India unleashing its missiles on Pakistani terror encampments the night before last – things either chill out or escalate – word has broken this morning of a true service to humanity they performed by knowing exactly where to rain down hell for revenge. It’s worth noting that Rauf Azhar...
“You think I’m going to be sitting on a waiting line,” Caesar Flickerman — excuse me, Bernie Sanders — asks, “at United, while 30,000 people are waiting?” Sanders appeared on Fox News to answer questions about his Fight The Oligarchy tour, and Bret Baier honed in on the $220K-plus that Sanders has spent on private...
John Fetterman is the left’s new bête noire. Once a darling of the left, mostly because he was running against Dr. Oz for the US Senate, Fetterman has alienated his former allies by not hewing to the party line. There’s nothing unusual about that in itself. To be fair, Republicans do the same thing to...
A done deal, or a “framework”? Does it matter, in terms of PR and market response? Donald Trump teased “a major trade deal” on Truth Social with a “big and highly respected country” late yesterday. This morning, Trump dispensed with the mystery by revealing the United Kingdom as the partner for the new agreement. And...
