The Boston marathon: not the Tsarnaev brothers’ first murder?
Holder recused himself…
…from the decision about the AP phone records, but he can’t remember when. Or how. And he didn’t do it in writing, which is exceedingly odd (meaning “suspicious”). Will Holder finally get his well-deserved place under that bus? And if … Continue reading →
Ariel Castro and the monsters among us
Jack Dunphy has a piece at PJ about Ariel Castro and how ordinary he must have seemed to his neighbors and acquaintances, and how it would have been very difficult to perceive the evil that lurked within. Although I understand … Continue reading →

It turns out that in 2008 Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s names were placed on the Indiana presidential primary ballot through fraudulent petition signatures: Former longtime St. Joseph County Democratic party Chairman Butch Morgan Jr. was found guilty of felony conspiracy … Continue reading →
The new immigrants: come for the liberty, stay for the welfare
Surprised that the Tsarnaevs of Massachusetts received welfare benefits?: The Tsarnaevs’ parents are former recipients of transitional assistance benefits, and both Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev received benefits through their parents when they were younger. Separately, Tamerlan and his family received … Continue reading →
Somehow methinks that…
…this might have something to do with the fact that there’s not a whole lot of upset about the failure of the gun bill. Nothing concentrates the mind on the subject so much as a spectacle in which America watches … Continue reading →
