Hey, isn’t that Facebook guy one of the investors behind the whole “conservatives for Comprehensive Immigration Reform” movement? Guess that means the “new conservatism,” in addition to promoting cheap labor at the expense of an already depleted job market; and creating new Democratic voting constituencies to turn, by design, red states into purple states into blue states into welfare states, is now for suppression of speech targeted at those who

Racialist politics.  It’s tedious.  It’s predictable.  It’s ugly. And what makes it so ugly is that it diminishes the depravity of real racism by diluting it with phony indictments and trivializing it with ridiculous and insupportable claims aimed at non-racists.  To wit: A debate Tuesday over a bill to ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected turned to race after Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin, R-Indian Springs, compared her bill

Or, “the buck stops there.” Convenient.  But hardly enough.  I’m telling you, the GOP establishment would be exposed as complicit — either by commission or omission — in any serious independent investigation. Which is why we will never get one. We’ll get a few sacrificial lambs.  And then be told justice was served. So it’s time to Move On and Shut Up, or else risk being “unhelpful” yet again. This

I’d like to launch this post with a shortish monograph on how, per intentionalism, the very idea that by altering the law what Obama is doing is creating an entirely new text, not “reinterpreting” and existing text to allow it to incorporate all his changes — and by so doing, point out once again that the way we believe language operates is crucial to how we allow laws to function

    Congrats to Satch, who took home “Grappler of the Year” at tonight’s Wrestling Awards banquet.  He’s been fortunate to have some great coaching over the past couple years, from Joey Gardner to Sonny Yohn (Div I All-American, U of Minn) to Leister Bowling, himself a UFC grappling coach, coach on “The Ultimate Fighter,” and former 3-time State Champion and Colorado State record holder for wins and take downs.

Student’s claim of being assaulted at school was “made up.” Discipline? Suspension? Heaven Mythical afterlife place forbid! A transgender teenager who said he was beaten and sexually assaulted in a California high school bathroom recanted the story, police said Tuesday. The 15-year-old student at Hercules Middle/High School “admitted he fabricated the whole story” during an interview with a detective, Hercules police Detective Connie Van Putten said. […] The change left

Elizabeth Scalia: So, you know all this brouhaha, all these hysterics about how bakers, and photographers, and other service-providers who routinely work for gay clientele (but draw a line at serving gay weddings because they feel it imperils their souls) are horrible people? And you know the whole “if you think that way, then you’re a bigot,” thing, because governments and pundits have taken it into their heads that it

Will post more later, but today could be one of those grieving days. On a more upbeat note, congrats to Satchel, who over the weekend became the Colorado Youth All-State Champion, 10 and under 50 lb division, then turned around and took second up in Brush Colorado, where he lost an excellent and very tough match to a kid who’d come down from Nebraska.  Satch lost two scrambles after being

See what happens to your mad scientific skillz once you leave Obama’s progressive employ?  They turn to absolute shit: Marcia McNutt, former head of the U.S. Geological Survey under President Barack Obama until 2013 and now top editor at Science magazine, is no longer opposed to the approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline.“I believe it is time to move forward on the Keystone XL pipeline to transport crude oil from

The pundits — including the high-brow wonks at Foreign Policy Magazine — sniffed and made fun of her at the time.  But then, to do so back then was de rigueur, so you can’t really blame them.  After all, easy pile-ons against a wolf-slaughtering tundra hoochie and her outdated Willa Catheresque-type first wave feminism are more socially rewarding, among the elites in DC, then is allowing that real pragmatism comes
