I’ve tried to go on with my day as I would any other but the story of the 8-year-old boy who died as a result of the bomb blasts has taken me to a really dark place.  Which I suppose is the point of terrorism.  And for that I’m ashamed. Ashamed, and also sick to death of the leftist jackals, be they in the media like Nicholas Kristof or Chris

What are the chances that the bombings were carried out by a Boston resident who simply hates the logistical inconveniences caused by the Marathon? Or hates / envies joggers (the bombs appeared to target the lower extremities, and were packed with pellets, ball bearings, and nails or tacks)? — And of course, who doesn’t like his taxes being raised, because he doesn’t want to pay his fair share…? Which raises

Joseph Cotto, who writes the “Conscience of a Realist” column for the Washington Times’ Communities section, recently contacted me for an interview in which is discussed the ideological layout of the contemporary blogosphere (along with my part in it).  Part one of that interview can be read here. — Followed, inevitably, by disparaging words from tim b. and maybe even EricPWJohnson in the comments, unless I miss my guess.

I noted last evening that investigators had converged on a residence in Revere, which they later searched.  Reports are still circulating about a Saudi national as a “person of interest” — though whether this means he is a suspect or a witness hasn’t yet been made clear.  Also unclear is if that same “person of interest,” who is in custody in a local Boston-area hospital, is also the inhabitant of

FOX Boston: A law enforcement source tells Fox 25 that a large police presence at a home in Revere is related to the Boston Marathon bombings. The source said that a suspicious driver was pulled over by Revere police after driving past the State Police barracks a number of times. The driver reportedly had a “nervous demeanor.” The driver then led police, as well as the FBI, to a home

CBS: Several people have been hurt in two explosions near the Boston Marathon finish line, CBS Boston reports. There were two booms heard from near the finish line inside the Fairmount Copley Plaza Hotel. WBZ-TV says the medical tent near the end of the marathon course has been filled with many people who have been “gravely injured.” It happened around 2:45 p.m. outside Marathon Sports on Boylston Street, according to

The Founding Fathers, extremists: “Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American…[T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but,

I know. Shocking!  Dave Kopel, writing at Volokh: The Toomey-Manchin Amendment which may be offered as soon as Tuesday to Senator Reid’s gun control bill are billed as a “compromise” which contain a variety of provisions for gun control, and other provisions to enhance gun rights. Some of the latter, however, are not what they seem. They are badly miswritten, and are in fact major advancements for gun control. In

Of course it does. It’s filled to the brim with poison pills and vague language that the progressives have already devised as strategy to exploit. Which they were able to do because they wrote the majority of the thing and crafted. the Trojan Horse viruses inside of it. Breibart: These new rules [for transporting firearms and ammunition] are on top of expanding background checks to cover every sale at a

Because while compelling people to buy uniform, government-written health care policies is of course something the founders and framers intended, states using the force of government to make it nearly impossible for people to keep and bear arms to protect themselves — in direct contradiction to the Bill of Rights — is naturally none of the Supreme Court’s goddamn business. Chief Justice Roberts has a legacy to consider, after all,
