The decision of police officers to take a knee based on heckling from the woke mobs is obviously an individual one.  We’ve seen New York City’s top uniformed cop take a knee, and most of us cringed.  We’ve seen cops washing the feet of black “faith leaders,” and most of us...

In the absence of elected leadership and in the face of police standing by and watching looting in Chicago, Latin gangs are protecting their local businesses and running would be looters out of their neighborhoods.  It’s hard to fault them for it, but do we really want street gangs acting as...

As seems to be the case throughout history, those in the midst of historic events rarely see them clearly or understand their significance in the moment.  It takes decades to make sense of things, how they fell apart, what eventually took place to turn the tide, and even then, it’s easy...

For the left, it’s always Orange Man Bad, and...

Democrats appear to be moving toward a rather bizarre take on the riots occurring across the country prompted by the death of George Floyd.  According to Minnesota governor Tim Walz (D) and assorted Democrats and leftists on Twitter, white supremacists may be to blame for the rioting and violence.

The four officers allegedly involved in the death of George Floyd lost their jobs, while the one seen in the video kneeling on Floyd’s neck has been arrested and charged with third-degree murder.  The system, in other words, is working.

It seems that Democrats are constantly trying to outdo each other on the most ludicrous points—relaxing some laws (opening borders and prisons) and tightening enforcement of their own orders (locking up surfers and hair stylists).

The scramble to the top of the VP heap continued as the Biden camp tested party reaction to Amy Klobuchar.  While the chances for
