Looks like Kavanaugh has the Votes, but this National Ordeal is Far from Over
I have no idea if this is true or not, but I wanted to pass along in the hopes that it is: With the Senate Judiciary Committee holding a vote at 9:30 A.M. tomorrow, a Senate insider has told Townhall that Kavanaugh has the votes to make it out of committee and the votes to be confirmed on […]
Why I Doubt Projections of a Democratic Midterm Surge
RollCall recently interviewed me about the oh-so-inevitable blue surge coming our way. But is it? Mark Meckler, one of the founders of the Tea Party Patriots, helped harness anger on the right in the 2010 midterms to topple Democratic incumbents and drive out some Republicans from the center in one of the biggest GOP waves in […]
McClatchy Writer Desperate to Make Drama between Nikki Haley and Trump
In case there wasn’t already enough drama in this nation now, a McClatchy writer named Anita Kumar is trying to drum up more. She begins her most recent article — headlined “Nikki Haley is a GOP rising star. But some don’t like her stealing Trump’s spotlight” — like this: Almost as soon as the New […]
Finally! Philadelphia Will Dismantle Its Unfair and Illegal Asset Forfeiture Program and Pay Victims $3 Million
Because I’m concerned about self-governance and government overreach, I really dislike civil forfeiture laws. These allow police to seize cash, cars, and even houses from people suspected of being connected to criminal activity. Note: they have the right to do this even if the owner is not charged with a crime. These laws give police […]
Two Kavanaugh Articles that Really Hit the Nail on the Head
As usual, Victor Davis Hanson nails it again in National Review, when he compares the Supreme Court confirmation process to George Orwell’s dystopian novel, 1984. In Orwell’s world of 1984 Oceania, there is no longer a sense of due process, free inquiry, rules of evidence and cross examination, much less a presumption of innocence until […]
Sen. Ted Cruz Chased Out of DC Restaurant by Anti-Kavanaugh Protestors
Want to be sick to your stomach? Last night, Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz was dining with his wife in a Washington D.C. restaurant when protesters arrived, surrounded their table, and started chanting “We believe survivors.” That, of course, is a reference to the allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Another protestor […]
Struggling Detroit Chases Away Businesses to Please their Union Overlords
By now, you’ve all seen the haunting photos of Detroit. Usually there’s some sort of caption that confirms that these photos were taken — yes — in America. And not only in America, but in the city that used to be our crown jewel. The Detroit News reports that in spite of their desperate economic […]
The Attacks on Kavanaugh are False, Just like the Attacks on Clarence Thomas were False
With the ups and downs (and downs and downs) of the battle over the Supreme Court seat which Brett Kavanaugh has been nominated to fill, it’s important remember that we’ve seen this exact play before. Powerline offers a great refresher for people who have forgotten the ins and out of the hearings which ultimately led to the […]
Durham University Student Driven Off Campus after Controversially Claiming Women Don’t Have Penises
Angelos Sofocleous was a model student at Durham University. He was president-elect of Humanist Students, assistant editor of the college’s philosophy society’s undergraduate journal, Critique, and co-editor-in-chief of the online student magazine, the Bubble. But then, he did something radical. He tweeted out something with which almost everyone in the history of the world has agreed: women do […]
‘Agender’ College Faculty Member wants to ‘Liberate Gender Identity’
The insanity on college campuses continues. This time, the lunacy has been found at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. (I know, I know. At least act surprised.) SJ Miller, who spells his first name using lowercase letters and identifies as “agender” is attempting to create a college environment that gives students an “equitable opportunities for success.” […]
