Almost from the start, nearly everyone on left and right claimed that the video of George Floyd’s dying moments made it clear that Officer Chauvin was a murderer. I found this to be a shocking assertion – not in terms … Continue reading →
A lot of people on the right are salivating about Joe Biden’s naming of Kamala Harris for VP, because she’s so loaded with baggage. Roger Kimball, for example, has this to say: She’s the one who, as California’s Attorney General, … Continue reading →
