Give the Dog Narcan

Terrific investigative reporter Sam Quinones, author of the 2015 book, Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic, is about to release a new book, The Least of Us: True Tales of America and Hope in the Time of Fentanyl and Meth, out next week. It's jam-packed with amazing facts and, like ...

Donald Trump

Media Gone Wild (Over Trump!)

If you really, really miss Donald Trump, MSNBC may just be for you! Biden is cratering, fuel prices are skyrocketing (hey, anybody seen Greta Thunberg?), hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are pouring across our border, and the murder rate keeps hitting historic highs. But the establishment ...

Kim Foxx

Kill Back Better

This isn't a Chicago story. It's a Democratic Party story. Kim Foxx, the state's attorney for Cook County and darling of MSNBC, has managed to increase murders in Chicago to astounding levels even at a time when we're all getting used to astounding crime figures. Nationwide in 2020, murder and ...

They’re Not Defending Their Best

Last Friday, two elected congressional Democrats, Reps. Cori Bush and Emanuel Cleaver II, wrote to Gov. Mike Parson of Missouri demanding that he pardon a triple-murderer on death row because, I quote: "Like slavery and lynching did before it, the death penalty perpetuates cycles of trauma, ...

Brush Up on Your Voodoo!

Great news! For the millions of U.S. immigrants who really wanted to immigrate to Haiti, but couldn't get in ... Guess what? The country you're living in is about to become Haiti. This will also come as good news to the GOP's top-dollar donors, whose sole political thought is: HOW DO WE WIN THE ...

The Real Anti-Vaxxers

As with Robert Frost's two paths diverging in the woods, the COVID pandemic has hit a fork in the road. Back in 2020, when the virus first presented itself, anything could be forgiven. Trump could shoot hydroxychloroquine up his butt; Fauci could sneer at masks, then a week later demand that we ...

Robert E. Lee

GRAY LIVES MATTER

My ancestors were Presbyterian abolitionists who fought on the Union side, but I get really ticked off when imbeciles take a sledgehammer to my country's history. Last week, with self-satisfied glee, savages tore down the 14-foot statue of Robert E. Lee designed by the French sculptor Antonin ...

9.11 Memorial

9/11

In honor of the 20-year marker of the 9/11 attacks, I thought I'd run excerpts from a few of my post-9/11 columns. One point I politely refrained from making 20 years ago: Why was the president of the United States reading "The Pet Goat" to a class of second-graders at the moment our nation was ...

Defund the World’s Police

Why does the establishment think that whenever something is amiss anywhere in the world, we need to scramble jets and fly in to fix it? There's a girl in Sudan who can't get treatment for a cut on her finger -- but they will treat the boy! Fire up the missiles! Naivete + hubris is a bad ...

Teaching Psycho Flintstones About Women’s Equality

The universal panning of President Biden's decision to finally leave Afghanistan is the mirror image of the one time the media loved Trump. Remember that joyous occasion? It was when he bombed Syria two months after taking office. Here's a sampling of the mash-notes to Trump for sending 59 ...
