Or at least it was 3 hours ago, when I was napping.  Washington Examiner: The House abandoned efforts to pass a bill to deal with the surge in migrants on the southern U.S. border Thursday. House Republicans, who had authored a plan to spend $659 million on humanitarian aid as well as additional border security and judges, failed to garner enough support among their rank and file to come up

Guess there are dangers to posting under your own name, after all.   Even if that danger is something other — and potentially more lethal — than people try to sic Anonymous on you. I’m not familiar with Markel’s blog, but I can offer this general observation, based on historical evidence:  if Markel was indeed assassinated for his political opinions, there’s virtually no chance he was progressive.  Conversely, were he progressive,

“Not that anyone’s really asked, but here’s one of the things I’ve learned since first arriving here:  never let another tenant borrow your Smiths mix tapes, or promise he’ll pay you later for the fistful of Oxycontin and pair of blunts you stupidly fronted him because you have a misguided trust in the integrity of other users.   Sympathy is for suckers.  And commerce is commerce. “Number 2:  when it comes

Like you, I spent a lot of time trying to keep up-to-date on the hottest significant news stories.  Since we free-thinking folks have to largely bypass vintage media, which have largely become a public relations arm of the Obama administration, it isn’t easy to do.  There are thousands of great sites out there, any of which can have a noteworthy news story. I don’t know about you, but I don’t

The Blaze: Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) on Tuesday said the House’s proposed $659 million spending bill to address the border crisis is effectively a sign of surrender to President Barack Obama, since it contains no language that would stop Obama from granting amnesty and work permits to millions of illegal immigrants. Sessions has warned that reports indicate Obama is planning to take this step, and that Congress must seek to

For those of you who follow me on Twitter, you may have noticed a lengthy exchange I had with John Sexton of Verum Serum and AG_Conservative after the latter quipped that the DNCC fundraising apparatus should send Sarah Palin a thank you note for being able to raise so much money off of impeachment talk. What I gleaned from the exchange that followed was this: there are those on the

Is it possible to appreciate law enforcement while noting far too many of its members are allowed to get away with rogue behavior? Or perhaps better put, is rogue behavior itself becoming normalized within law enforcement, at least to the extent that law enforcement is able to protect its own? The Courant: According to the arrest warrant application, Worden told [Lt. Lawrence] Curtis that he hit [suspect Mark] Maher twice

Then, after you listen to it, pass it along. Especially to Democrats, who Levin points out elsewhere are in a Pew poll (predictably) drawing moral equivalencies between a worldwide terror movement, bent on creating a permanent Islamic Caliphate, that is being allowed to disguise itself as an underdog nationalist movement in the Palestinian territories — with the aid of our insufferably dull, incurious, or outright anti-Zionist progressive-infested media — and

My response to a (at the time) gloating liberal (who later became a fan of the site, and an Obama critic), who wrote, in reply to my insistence that Obama was not then a “good man”: My point was about the delicious (but yet unseen by you) irony of your overheated and lofty statement about not uttering even a slightly flattering word about Obama as it speaks to something classical
