Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Given that Zarate was a felon with a gun in his hands when he killed Steinle, I’m perplexed he wasn’t convicted for felony murder. I am as appalled as anyone else that Kate Steinle’s killer, Jose Inez Garcia Zarate, a man who was on his fifth or sixth illegal entry

The sex scandals we read about are all different and require different responses, ranging from letting the voters speak to criminal prosecution. Except for hysterical stories about President Trump drinking water or feeding fish the wrong way, it seems as if the news is entirely taken over with breaking sex

Sally Quinn is convinced that she killed three people. Wouldn’t it be nice if an enterprising prosecutor indicted her based on her murder confession? Sally Quinn, the widow of deceased WaPo executive editor Ben Bradlee, has been boasting about the fact that she murdered three people. Really: Thanks to her just-released
Continue readingA roll up for today to fill the void of Ms. BWR’s absence. The picture comes from People’s Cube and their latest magazine offering Comey, Trump, the Justice Dept. and Special Counsel Victor Davis Hanson, writing at American Greatness, gives an excellent summation of the progressive jihad aimed at toppling President

Comey pretended that his moral cowardice was a virtue, a dangerous attitude that empowers weak people and that permeates the entire FBI. As Comey’s firing as FBI director continues to roil the Left, all sorts of interesting things are emerging. For example, it was Comey who gave Bill Clinton a

Comey has been playing fast and loose with his powers as the nation’s chief law enforcement officer, making it entirely appropriate for Trump to fire him. James Comey deserved the boot and I’m only sorry that he did not get fired on Trump’s first day in office. Despite being the

Last night, 60 Minutes devoted two segments to the Terence Crutcher shooting. As you may recall, in September 2016, Betty Shelby, a police officer in Tulsa, came upon

If you have access to HBO, I highly recommend Rock and a Hard Place, a superb documentary about young criminals in a boot camp rehabilitation program. I don’t usually recommend HBO documentaries, which hew so hard left that, when I mention them at this blog, I do so only to

Continue readingMs. BWR was the key to convincing me to hold my nose and vote Trump on the sole ground of control of the Supreme Court, so I’ve got the bar set quite low for this administration. That said, I like their first few steps so far. Corruption Two of the

For those unfamiliar with the term, “Fox Butterfield fallacy” is named after a New York Times rejoicing under the euphonious name “Fox Butterfield.” Butterfield wrote an article in 1994 that dealt with what to him was a mystifying conundrum: How could there be more criminals in prison if crime rates were

No wonder 1984 is no longer required reading in high schools. One of the Little Bookworms, after a summer of sloth, decided to read something noteworthy before returning to school. Her choice was George Orwell’s 1984, which I would include in any top 25 or even top 10 reading list.
Continue readingThanks to a little personal chaos, I arrived late to hearing Donald Trump’s “law and order” speech, which is really more accurately entitled a “Dear African-Americans, please get off the grim, crime-ridden, paranoid Democrat plantation and step out into the light as a free citizen in a free country.” It’s

One of the parts of Hillary’s early history that people find most repulsive is the fact that in 1975 she represented a child rapist, Thomas Alfred Taylor, so successfully that she got him off with only two months time served. This video gives some information about that case, including Hillary’s

Gun control proponents have a problem. Irrefutable data shows that, since 1992, as American gun ownership has gone up, crime has gone down. When pressed about the dramatic decrease in crime, the best that the Left can do is to point to anything but the increase in privately held weapons:
