The FBI Arrests a Terrorist, and I Have Questions
Last week Merrick Garland announced the arrest of 18-year-old Idaho resident Alexander Scott Mercurio. Mercurio for terrorism. I’m a resident of Idaho.

But, But, But, It’s Just So Unfair!
You know who else doesn’t get paid as much as NBA players? National Hockey League players, because they just don’t have as sizable a fan base.
Why are We Allowing Terrorists to Plague America’s Cities and College Campuses?
Since Hamas terrorists slaughtered some 1,400 innocent Israeli men, women, and children on October 7, 2023, we have seen pro-Hamas demonstrators shut down American expressways, bridges, and college campuses while screaming “death to Israel” and “death to America.” Why are we allowing this to happen?

The Manhattan Judicial Railroad
The Trump cases are just the latest example of Democratic prosecutors trying to make their careers by railroading defendants, the facts of law be damned.
Whenever There is a Truth That You Cannot Tell, That is a Truth You Must Tell!
My very good friends on the left used to love, when presented with a fact which challenged their assertions, to use the expression, “The plural of anecdote is not data.” I, of course, pointed out that an ‘anecdote,’ if confirmed, actually is a datum. A few years ago, Barry Ritholtz writing in The Big Picture, …
The Return of Trial by Ordeal
The principle of being guilty until proven innocent is the foundation for trial by ordeal, and its close cousin trial by combat.
Our Regrettable Decline from Collective Discretion into Social Mobocracy
You’ve seen images of “Walmart People.” Can any of this be real? Do people really look like that? And do they go to Walmart and other places?
The Cameras Don’t Necessarily Help
The body worn cameras show the cops were justified in this shooting. Not that the facts matter to leftist mantra about killer cops.
Sometimes You Just Have To Be An [Insert Slang Term For The Rectum Here] To Do Things Right
We have previously reported on how almost everyone supports drug addiction treatment and rehabilitation, but they prefer it to be in other people’s neighborhoods, and how even in Democrat-controlled Philadelphia, the City Council passed an ordinance which bans ‘safe injection centers in all council districts except one. We alson noted that, despite residential opposition, the …

Hate On Display

Knowing how to shoot is the easy part.

Everyone Wants Drug Addicts to be Treated and Cured; They Just Want That to Happen in Someone Else’s Neighborhood.
Even the liberal Democrats who control the city government understand that their constituents don’t want drug addicts around their neighborhoods.
Not old enough to grow a man’s beard, but old enough to do a man’s crime!
In 25 years, John Nusslein will be 44 years old; in 25 years, Chung Yan Chin will still be dead.
Divided THEY Fall
The traditional motto of the United States is “In God We Trust,” but the motto on the Great Seal of our nation is “E Pluribus Unum,” – Latin for ‘Out of Many, One’…circa 1782.
Aren’t the Left at Least Somewhat Aware That They Depend Upon a Civilized Society for Their Lives, Property, Safety, and Professions?
I have previously mused that Philadelphia Inquirer main editorial writer Daniel Pearson could actually be a conservative, though ‘moderate Democrat’ would probably be far closer to the truth. Though Mr Pearson is not the Editorial Page Editor, I would guess that he has some influence. And I have noted how the newspaper has granted outside …
Whenever There is a Truth You Cannot Tell, That is a Truth You Must Tell!
When you don’t tell an obvious truth, you let the liars win. J K Rowling, the author of the brilliant Harry Potter books, is a stone liberal, one who decided to tell readers that Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, is homosexual. Miss Rowling never mentioned anything about her vision …
