Susannah Meadows had a rough childhood. I never knew this, nor did I care to know. I’m sorry she did, of course. Children are vulnerable and need all the care they can get, and childhood experiences permanently scar some people. I’m not sure why The New York Times felt the need to share with the...
He can run, but Ali Khamenei can’t hide forever — from the Israelis, certainly. But Iran’s ‘supreme leader’ may have more to fear from the remnants of his own regime. In the past 24 hours, Israel has reportedly stepped up efforts to take Khamenei off the board, euphemistically or otherwise. Strikes in an area of...
Sunday turned out to be the night of the long knives in the Democratic Party. Two top union leaders–from public employee unions, no less–have resigned from the Democratic National Committee. Randi Weingarten, colloquially known as “The Devil” in some circles, and the less well-known but nearly as important Lee Saunders of AFSCME have left the...
Vance Boelter, the madman who assassinated Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, and who shot Senator John Hoffman and his wife, has been apprehended in rural Sibley County, Minnesota. An intense statewide manhunt that spanned hundreds of square miles in the state is over. For much of the day, the manhunt was concentrated in...
Developments continue apace in Israel and Iran, where the two bitter enemies will enter their fourth day of war. Earlier today, news reports had the Iranians asking erstwhile intermediaries to pressure Israel into cease-fire negotiations, albeit on the same terms as before — with Iran maintaining its nuclear enrichment programs and with the usual “Death...
    In dealing with the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles police chief described his force as “overwhelmed” by the protesters and rioters. The city, as is the case with many of America’s other large cities, suffers from inadequate manpower. The size of the LAPD is the smallest in 20...
    In 2018, some activists, appalled by woke nonsense being published by academic journals, submitted nonsensical research.     One paper claimed researchers “closely and respectfully examined the genitals of … ten thousand dogs” to learn about “rape culture and queer performativity at urban dog parks.”     ...
This morning’s Gospel reading is John 16:12–15: Jesus said to his disciples: “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and...
With sugar on top, natch! Three days ago, Iran’s regime made it clear that they had no intention to negotiate in good faith to end its pursuit of nuclear weapons. After losing most of its top military leadership and a significant amount of its infrastructure to the Israeli Defense Forces, the ayatollah may have some...
    These days it seems that a mysterious group called “the CBO” rules the world, or at least Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, it’s not very good at predicting things, and its bad calls can lead to bad policy results.     The Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation...
As you’ve probably heard, a coalition of left-wing groups is holding protests around the country today. They are calling the effort “No Kings” and the plans were in motion prior to the riots in Los Angeles in the past week. They were timed to coincide with a military parade being held in Washington, DC today....
The REPORTED suspect is Vance Luther Bolter. KSTP is reporting that this is the suspect. BREAKING: I’m told by a police source in Minnesota the suspect in the shootings of MN state lawmakers is Vance Luther Boelter. It appears it is the same Boelter who was appointed to the Governor’s Workforce Development Board in 2019...
    Interviewing for a job or competing for a promotion just got fairer. In a unanimous ruling on Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court leveled the legal playing field, saying that everyone deserves the same protection from discrimination, including straight white women and men.     In the six decades since...
The gloves are off. The question may well be why they were on to begin with. In the breathtaking opening attack of the full-scale war between Israel and Iran, the IDF struck numerous targets with precision and multiplicity — except the capital of Tehran. Aside from a a handful of carefully targeted strikes to take...
There isn’t a lot of information yet, but here’s what I have. Sources have told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS’ Tom Hauser that two Minnesota Lawmakers have been shot. Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police...
