I think of the Covington story and the Buzzfeed Cohen/Trump story as connected, even though their subject matters differ tremendously. The common meta-subject-matter of both, the lessons to learn from both, go like this: (1) There is no limit to … Continue reading →
I just found this correction in which the WaPo admits that Nathan Phillips is not a Vietnam veteran. Fancy that. It’s something the right half of the blogosphere suspected almost immediately. I had made a comment or two about it, … Continue reading →
One of the most interesting posts I’ve seen since the whole Covington thing began is this one by William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection, describing a technique commonly used by leftist activists: The recent interaction in DC between high school students … Continue reading →
The big guns were apparently called in for the task of composing the FISA application based on the sketchy Steele dossier. This was completely out of the ordinary in terms of protocol [emphasis mine]: A former top FBI lawyer [James … Continue reading →
Nicholas Frankovich wrote a scathing piece in National Review on the Covington teenagers entitled “The Covington Students Might as Well Have Just Spit on the Cross.” I mentioned it in an earlier post, noting that I’d read his article when … Continue reading →
