Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of England and he of ‘Two Tier’ policing fame, has yet more dishonor to heap on what is supposed to be his British plate, although that is increasingly questionable. Early in his term (back in September 2024), the PM and his ruling party introduced something called ‘Respect Orders.’ Labour had always...
Remember the halcyon days after the Los Angeles fire–you know, the one started by arsonists armed with climate change propane torches and power lines kept in disrepair–when the governor of California and the Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, promised that they would cut through all the red tape and get rebuilding going quickly. Good...
As you probably remember, Mayor Sheng Thao of Oakland was recalled last November after an FBI raid of her home last year. Thao had denied any wrongdoing but she was indicted in January. All of that set up a special election to replace Thao which will take place tomorrow. There are about a dozen candidates...
Today seems as good a time as any for reflecting upon the inanities that have been raised above we mere mortal knuckle-draggers, both in a literal and figurative sense. Space cadets springs to mind, thanks to fawning coverage of Jeff Bezos spending God knows how much money to send his plastic squeeze and some other...
Anti-Israel activists at Georgetown University made some news Friday morning when a group of about 15 masked people entered a building on campus as part of a protest. …the approximately 15 student protesters were standing and chanting on the stairs to the second floor of Healy Hall. GUPD officers and Associate Vice President for Student...
Why am I not surprised that Taylor Lorenz has Che Fever? And why am I not surprised that she’s trying to claim she never had it in the first place? If you missed David’s post on Murder Chic this morning, be sure to read it now. A clip of Lorenz discussing the weird Karen love for...
What a find! We now know without doubt that the Teotihuacan culture, the “prehistoric heart” of what is now Mexico, was a thriving community dedicated to helping men ascend the spiritual ladder to become gods. How do we know? Archaeologists have discovered a temple where priests sacrificed children. Ancient altar found in Guatemala jungle apparently...
I haven’t had one of these stories in a while to fuss over, with everything going on in the world and that’s a good thing. Plus, there’s the fact that the Trump administration has been cooling some serious jets on the renewable scam side of the house, so perhaps the potential for building bigger and...
Give San Francisco this much credit: at least their latest art installation doesn’t prompt any confusion over what it depicts. We think, anyway. But we’ll get to that point shortly. These days, civic art installations usually take the form of modern-art monstrosities, especially sculpture. The most common reaction to these municipal art choices is inevitably,...
If you read the Pravda Media–and, let’s face it, it’s pretty hard to escape while remaining a functioning and “informed” member of society–you could be forgiven for believing that America is becoming a fascist hellhole while our European neighbors are living in a society filled with freedom, social harmony, and economic prosperity. As European leaders...
Saturday at sundown was the beginning of Passover. I know this not as a Jew, but as a Christian who, like Salena Zito, has watched The Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner every year since I was a little kid. To my Jewish friends, may the holiday bring you the reminder of what...
Taylor Lorenz has, a number of times, claimed that she is not at all–not even a little bit, you know–saying that she wants people to go out and kill healthcare executives. This is, of course, complete horse manure. And I know that because she also calls Luigi Mangione a “morally good” man, that she felt...
President Donald Trump has predicted that his tariffs could raise as much as $6 trillion over the next decade in federal tax collections. These include up to 104% tariffs on China, plus the combination of reciprocal tariffs — we charge them whatever they charge us. Also, don’t forget the protectionist tariffs...
Over the past 80 days, there has been so much winning for Republicans. Winning is good. Very good. Overconfidence, though, is bad. Very bad. And I worry that some people are getting way too confident, mistaking momentum for inevitability. “We have been winning” does not necessarily mean “We will continue to win in the future.” ...
Convicted cop killers should never walk free. But New York’s soft-on-crime parole board is poised to release its 44th cop killer since 2017. For this injustice, you can blame mayoral wannabee Andrew Cuomo and his criminal-coddling successor, Gov. Kathy Hochul. Also to blame...
