Bail reform in NY: the gift that keeps on giving
But of course: Most of the looters and rioters arrested by the NYPD over the past several days are immediately released as a direct result of New York’s new bail-reform law, New York City police chief Terrence Monahan told the … Continue reading →
And speaking of science and politics: fake research for political aims?
It wouldn’t be the first time, either. Once hydroxychloroquine was touted by Trump as a possible tool against COVID, the drug’s days were numbered. Is it any wonder that a major study came out against it, and now there’s growing … Continue reading →
Language and political change
On using the word “looters” to refer to looters: Feels like a good time to post AP’s guidance on the word looting: pic.twitter.com/hjxQWbSYAx — Kimberlee Kruesi (@kkruesi) May 31, 2020 I have a better idea. Why not call them “undocumented … Continue reading →
Antifa and their enablers in the press
Lara Logan is not one of the enablers. Please watch: Perhaps Antifa’s most clever move is its name, which is explained as meaning “anti-fascist.” Orwell would be very very proud. A group or groups claimed to be Antifa’s antecedents may … Continue reading →
That photo of Hitler holding the Bible like Trump did? Photoshopped, of course
But the left doesn’t care. Why should they? Lies are their daily bread. And they work. I wager that a few months from now, most Democrats will still think the photo’s real, and even if they don’t they still will … Continue reading →

Law and order: Trump makes a speech and walks to church
The law and order president: President Trump said Monday he would deploy the military against protesters if local officials cannot stop violence that has erupted in some areas. “I will fight to protect you — I am your president of … Continue reading →
The American press: Antifa, the right, Palestine and the Jews
I was thinking about this sort of analogy earlier today, and now I see that Ace has written a post about it, so I’ll just link to and quote him: “Antifa, ‘Mainstream’ Media Join Forces to Push the ‘Right Wing … Continue reading →
As expected, Judge Sullivan’s lawyer has filed a brief defending his actions in refusing to dismiss the Flynn case
Just in, Sullivan’s response. It’s almost 50 dense pages long, and I haven’t read it, but as expected it defends Judge Sullivan’s actions. I hope to say more about it later, but if you’re inclined to read it for yourself, … Continue reading →
Restoring order is a top priority, or should be
[NOTE: Here’s a recommended article by Andrew C. McCarthy entitled, “The President Has the Constitutional Power to Restore Order. He Must Act.”] We hardly needed any more proof that our society is in terrible trouble. But we’ve gotten it in … Continue reading →
