I felt I was going to be real safe because once you walk in a courtroom you know then you’re safe ... and we sat down ... and there was a guy behind him me in the first row that kept leaning up[.] ... [H]e said, “You’re a dead man walking!” ... Mr. Nifong [the prosecutor] sort of smirked to himself at the other table ... at that point I think we understood where we were heading.”

A rare case where the scum D.A. Nifong got his due for his gross mishandling of the Duke Lacrosse case.

My son will be going to college next Fall. I will be going over this with him, so he knows what can happen when college boys(who think they are men) interact with people in the adult entertainment business.

How I Changed My Left-Wing High School

Here's something Steve wrote in the Duke University newspaper when he was a student there:

Dec. 4, 2006
“It’s the most wonderful time of year – but you wouldn’t know it looking around Duke’s campus. ... You’d probably find more Christmas decorations at your local mosque. ... There is absolutely no single logical reason why we shouldn’t have a Christmas tree on the quad and a Nativity scene in the Bryan Center. Eighty-five percent of our nation is Christian and every single one of us, Christian or not (I’m a practicing Jew myself), is living in a country settled and founded by Christians and benefiting daily from the principles of Christian philosophy on which our forebears relied.”

How a liberal Santa Monica high school produced a top Trump advisor and speechwriter

Stephen Miller when he was a student at Santa Monica High.

Quotes from the above-linked article:

As he was finding his voice at Santa Monica High, Miller bemoaned the school’s Spanish-language announcements, the colorful festivals of minority cultures, and the decline, as he saw it, of a more traditional version of American education....

Latino students recall Miller telling them dismissively that they would do better to work on their English language skills rather than spend their time forming clubs based on ethnicity. Some called him racist...

But in Miller’s telling of those days, he was trying to unify the campus, by resisting defining students by their differences and instead by their commonality as Americans. He said he advocated for the reinstatement of the pledge of allegiance as part of that...

Thanks for the link. I certainly did not realize that Miller had held for truth and justice in the Duke LAX case. I am doubly impressed.
What is infuriating is the Wikipedia entry on him - that completely omits this event and reads like a hit piece, IMO. If there is someone who knows their way around Wikipedia, an edit to reflect this story would help.

A comparison to John Adams’ controversial defense of the British soldiers charged in the so-called “Boston Massacre” would be in order as well.

Here are a few of the virtues and characteristics I see in Stephen Miller that make him such a champion for conservatism. He has a somewhat wispy, slight of build, and unassuming appearance, which he uses to his advantage to attain an an edge in any verbal confrontation. It allows him to make his most important points before his opponent even realizes his formidable capabilities. He always comes fully armed with the facts, gained from meticulous homework so he not only knows what he wants to say but he can anticipate opposing arguments and have a ready response. He marshals his facts into logical thought processes and then convincingly communicates them in an entertaining and respectful manner. But, underlying these qualities is a fearlessness to hold strong to his foundational conservative beliefs and speak truth to power. This is why on the subject of immigration he is so formidable and why the political hacks on the Hill quickly realized they couldn't hold a candle to him. I'm sure the pro-immigration crowd wanted to just shut him up immediately because if he was allowed to speak he might have convinced some of those sitting on the fence to join him.
