I’m voting in person. I like the ritual. While my choices at the top of the ballot are limited to a bag of wind, an empty suit and some hopeless...

I think the VP debate is a good example of how difficult regulating “the truth” can be. Margaret Brennan inserts herself into the debate by attacking...

I heard the VP debate described as “shockingly polite and substantive”.

Not five bomb threats. Five actual bombings. https://time.com/4501670/bombings-of-america-burrough/ It’s one reason I have trouble taking all...

Not perfect. All those schools and hospitals named after saints say something about our prior treatment of Catholics, for instance. And our recent...

Nationalist parties have been on the upswing in much of Europe. I’m not entirely sure of all the reasons. Maybe a reaction to mass immigration. Maybe...

You make a good point. Most of the real action in government occurs down ballot. Does it really matter, for instance, that Jill Biden is doing so...

I doubt anyone looking at his burnt out family business would call it a “random protest” rather than a riot. To my mind, any riot is an attack on...

Way to put lipstick on the pig, Alissa! That’s what marketing is all about.

As riots go, I like that there were hundreds of arrests and convictions. We didn’t see the like for the deadly riots that preceded it. Nor did we...

I rest my case.

If elevating your voice is merely annoying people in an attempt to advance your cause, I think you’re well within your rights. You’d certainly be in...

I think that too often we say “evil” when what we really mean is “stupid”. Not that stupidity is necessarily less destructive, but it’s so much...

Despite what Kamala Harris says, US forces have been actively engaged in this vicious proxy war between Israel and Iran for some time.

I think if our climate issues are resolved it will be by clever people trying to make a buck rather than spoiled children mistaking tantrums for...

I find the idea of Harris attempting standup to be profoundly disturbing. Her handlers obviously do too. Plus it benefits Catholic Charities. ...

As attacks go, it was about as selective as it’s possible to get. Devices issued to enemy combatants with a very limited blast radius. Quite...

There’s a direct historical connection between the Democratic Party and the Confederacy, KKK and Jim Crow laws. Concocting some wispy connection...

Jonah Goldberg recently podcasted about the bizarre coverage NPR has been giving the “grim beeper campaign”. They talked about the people being...

If you’re afraid of marriage and fatherhood because you’re concerned about a costly divorce down the line, then you probably aren’t a suitable...

If the symbolism of historic associations is so important to you, why support the party that defended slavery and Jim Crow for all those years?

You lack the acute race sensitivity it takes to detect the racism of scheduling rallies in towns that were segregated a century ago.

They decided Dungeons and Dragons was racist. ...

Now there’s a publication that has declined sadly as they’ve descended into woke politics. They began endorsing presidential candidates in 2020.

All my Cub Scout and Boy Scout gear came from the Green Stamp store. Now Green Stamps are gone and the Boy Scouts are unrecognizable.

We had a set of glasses from a gas station (I think Sinclair). Back in the days when you got one with every visit. Whenever somebody broke one, my...

I think it’s more likely they’re coming from Russia, China or Iran than MAGA-minded foreign pen pals. Assisting our two major parties in keeping...

Makes a great scholarly sounding cover for demanding limits on free speech; as well as accusing your opposition as hate mongers.

The Governor is saying that the majority of the threats are coming from overseas.

The term enjoyed a vogue a few years back as a scientificy way to describe how those crypto-Nazi, Russian asset, hateful, racist Republicans were...

I see some of their handheld radios are exploding now as well. This may present difficulties in coordinating their next massacre.

Do you think the media chatter would be different right now if two attempts had been made on Harris? Would we be hearing long sermons about...

I love it when some Mumbai Marauder autodials me and identifies himself as Bob Johnson or Pete Wilson.

Yes.

I wonder how the Colombians will label the file that message goes into.
