Nicolle Wallace is a disgrace. I went through the transcript of her MSNBC show yesterday multiple times. Surely, there must be something there! It beggars the imagination that a TV show devoted to political news could have failed to cover a story that broke earlier that same day--the arrest of an armed man outside the house of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and who admitted that his plan was to assassinate him. But yes, as incredible as it seems, Nicolle Wallace failed to devote any time--not one second--to that story during her two hours of MSNBC airtime on yesterday's Deadline:...

Abstract After the Columbine school shooting 20 years ago, one of the more significant changes in how we protect students has been the advance of legislation that allows teachers to carry guns at schools. There are two obvious questions: Does letting teachers carry create dangers? Might they deter attackers? Twenty states currently allow teachers and staff to carry guns to varying degrees on school property, so we don’t need to guess how the policy would work. There has yet to be a single case of someone being wounded or killed from a shooting, let alone a mass public shooting, between...

A man repeatedly slugged a straphanger in an unprovoked attack before robbing him inside a Bronx subway station, cops said Thursday. The 49-year-old victim was sitting on a bench on the southbound No. 1 platform of the Marble Hill-225th Street station around 6 a.m. Sunday when the assailant approached and suddenly punched him in the face multiple times, police said. The mugger then snatched the victim’s iPhone 13 from his hand, authorities said. The phone, worth about $1,000, also held the victim’s credit card on the back of the case, cops said. *** Cops say he has a dark complexion,...

Democrats passed laws called "Black Codes," which included taking guns away from Blacks. Download as PDF The Democrat Legislature of North Carolina passed a Black Code, published in 1825: "No slave shall go armed with gun, sword, club, or other weapon, or shall keep any such weapon, or shall hunt or range with a gun in the woods, upon any pretence whatsoever: and if any slave shall be found offending herein, it shall and may be lawful for any person or persons to seize and take to his own use, such gun, sword, or other weapon, and to apprehend...

I’ve been promising to collect our own lexicon of the real meaning of key leftist terms—an undated version of Ambrose Bierce’s Devil’s Dictionary, for a while now. So here goes. Readers are encouraged to propose additional definitions and terms in the comment thread, and we’ll update this lexicon from time to time. Populism: When the wrong person or cause wins a free election, like Brexit, Trump, or a Soros DA recall. Racism: Any opposition to the agenda of the left. Democracy: Any institutional design or voting system that enables the left to get what it wants. Threat to democracy: When...

Tenth Week in Ordinary Time Matthew 5:20-26 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus teaches that if a brother has something against us, we must be reconciled with him before we offer our gift at the altar. This reconciling requires a change of heart and mind. The word often misleadingly translated as “repent” is metanoiete. This Greek term is based upon two words, meta (beyond) and nous (mind or spirit), and thus, in its most basic form, it means something like “go beyond the mind that you have.” The English word “repent” has a moralizing overtone, suggesting a change in behavior or...

Ramsey may offer good advice to folks in tough financial circumstances, but sometimes I think he's just schilling for some of his sponsors like NAR.

Economists and policymakers say Russia may have some thus far hidden leverage on Ukraine — and the global food supply. They worry that self-imposed export restrictions on fertilizer by Russia, the top global provider of the product, could further drive up the cost of food and damage global harvests in 2023 and beyond. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been a factor in the 30 percent surge in international food prices and 10 percent rise in U.S. food prices over the last year, as supply chains continue to sputter in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. But the price pressures exerted...

NEW YORK - A 61-year-old man who was sucker-punched in the head and knocked unconscious while walking along a street in Bedford-Stuyvesant died five days later, the NYPD announced Thursday. Victor Vega of Lexington Avenue in Brooklyn was seen on surveillance video walking alongside and talking with two suspects when one of them suddenly punched him in the head and knocked him to the ground.

Responding to Moscow's military operation in Ukraine, Western countries have imposed a slew of anti-Russian sanctions aiming to "isolate" Russia from the global economy. Commenting on the Western sanctions targeting Russia's economy, President Vladimir Putin stated that it is impossible to isolate such a big country. "For a country like Russia, it is impossible to be surrounded by a fence from the outside," he said. "And we ourselves are not going to erect such a fence around [our own country]". The Russian president also explained that the country is never going to have a closed economy. According to him, Moscow...

Joe Biden went on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night for a friendly sitdown with the far left late-night host. Joe got so confused at one point that Kimmel had to call for a commercial. At one point Joe Biden “joked” about putting his political opponents in jail. ....... Snip........ The Washington Examiner reported: “I often get asked, ‘Look the Republicans don’t play it square, why do you play it square?’ Well, guess what! If we do the same thing they do, our democracy will literally be in jeopardy,” Biden said. “Not a joke.” Kimmel equated Washington, D.C. politics and Republicans...

Ukraine said Wednesday it would not demine waters around the Black Sea port of Odessa to allow for grain to be exported, citing the threat of Russian attacks on the city. “The moment we clear access to the port of Odessa, the Russian fleet will be there,” spokesman for the regional administration Sergiy Bratchuk said in a video statement on social media. He said that Russia “dreams of parachuting troops” into the city and that Moscow’s army “wants to attack” Odessa. The Turkish and Russian foreign ministers were meeting in Ankara Wednesday to discuss the creation of security corridor to...
