MAD About Him

Some good stuff in the Tip Line (which is more of a reader open forum than just for "tips"). H/t to JCClarke for the link I used in this tweet today: https://twitter.com/LegInsurrection/status/365561974257508352 And this tip from Bruno Lesky shows how the fight against progressive propaganda is taking...

Posted by Mandy Nagy on August 08, 2013 27 Comments

Well, this was a bit of mysterious news today. Apparently, the owner of Lavabit - the same email service reportedly used by NSA leaker Edward Snowden to contact human rights groups last month - has decided to shut down its operations in order to avoid...

Hillary will run for President, but only if the People demand it!

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 08, 2013 44 Comments

That seems to be how this thing is going to develop. Private citizen Hillary is just going about her private business, helping establish the pantsuit as cultural icon and just chilling. The rebranding thing is really hard work. All the while, hapless fall-guy John Kerry travels the...

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 08, 2013 35 Comments

Obligatory. Sweeping the internets, based on Drudge exclusive, not yet confirmed by Fox News: If true, it would mark a shift away from opinion coverage as we approach 2014-2016. If, that is, Hannity is out. https://twitter.com/LegInsurrection/status/365538102619549696 This doesn't exhaust all the possibilities, but includes the ones that came to...

The Fort Hood shooting trial resumed Thursday after the judge refused to grant a request from Nidal Hasan's standby defense attorneys to drop out of the case. The attorneys argued Wednesday that Hasan’s strategy in court thus far has demonstrated that the defendant – who...

So tell me about Tom Cotton

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 07, 2013 17 Comments

He's running for Senate in Arkansas in a bid to unseat Democrat Mark Pryor. I know almost nothing about Cotton or the Republican field. Who else is expected to run in the Republican primary?

Posted by Andrew Branca on August 07, 2013 64 Comments

It is perhaps inevitable that comparisons will be drawn between the recently completed murder/self-defense trial of George Zimmerman in Florida and the just beginning travails of self-defense shooter Merritt Landry in New Orleans. Indeed, I've already begun to do so myself (see "Zimmerman Redux: The Breaking...
