What would that make Google?  Aside from a kind of shadow intelligence agency for the progressives, I mean. Quick. Somebody drop Victor Davis Hanson a line.  I need to extend a metaphor here. (h/t JohnInFirestone)

Glenn Reynolds’ latest in USA today is dead on.  And I’m not just saying that because it reads like me, were you to shorten my sentences, make them more direct and persuasive, and remove the anger and the rancid sarcasm.  Writes Glenn: Last week, I noted that Americans are losing confidence in their government: According to a new Pew poll, more than half see it as a threat to their

I read his manifesto.  There is nothing heroic, trenchant, bracing, or even interesting (substance-wise) in any of his predictable rantings.  Instead, he is a poster-child for how leftist propaganda has yet again created a self-righteous, morally confused, and intellectually bankrupt self-esteem brat who has been so poisoned by lies and so unwilling to accept (and then address and correct)  his own shortcomings, that he is able to cast about for

Jim Geraghty, the Morning Jolt: And you thought the Pope stepped on Obama’s State of the Union address. BOOM: The seismic magnitude of an “explosion-like event” in North Korea on Tuesday was roughly twice as large as that of a 2009 nuclear test in the country, an international nuclear test monitoring agency said. “We can assume this is roughly twice as big in magnitude,” Lassina Zerbo, director of the international

“IOC drops wrestling from 2020 Olympics”. Which is like dropping bulls and clowns from rodeo, or bad vibrato from “American Idol.”  The thing itself is changed. Fundamentally. There’s a same-sex marriage correlation here, it occurs to me, but I’ll bracket that for the time being.  Out of respect for the dead.

It’s who they are … More than 20 survivors of gun violence and their family members will be in the House chamber on Tuesday as President Obama gives the first State of the Union address of his second term. The effort, organized in part by Mayors Against Illegal Guns and congressional advocates of stricter gun laws, may be the first coordinated attempt to pack the gallery with a group of

With ‘legitimacy’ defined as that media which helps the government push its gun control agenda by ignoring how “mental health” provisions and “universal background checks” prepare the ground for government registries and defining “crazy” down.  Or, if you prefer, what comes to count as legitimate, per Biden,  is that media that backs the efforts of the state against the rights of the individual.  Whereas any media that acts as a

When our 1993 Land Cruiser couldn’t pass emissions — we would have needed to have the intake cleaned, then replace some spark plugs and a few gaskets — we decided it was time to get a new vehicle. One not only from this decade but from this century, our other car being a 1994 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. We didn’t make the decision to move on lightly:  the Land Cruiser had

Gun control has nothing to do with crime, or murder rates, or mental health, or protecting children — though there are unquestionably some well-meaning useful idiots whose opposition to gun ownership is based on those factors so easily attached to the debate. It is instead about people control, and more specifically, individual control, with the removal of self-protection and the protection of the family paramount to a final push to

Were Bush still President, we’d hear no end to this suit.  But because Obama has the reins — and as a progressive, all he does is axiomatically good and right and proper and, well, progressive — the propaganda arm of the statist coup has determined that you all needn’t worry yourselves over what is essentially a tool that, when put in the proper, progressive hands, will most certainly be used
