Free Republic

As much as I hate to sound like a member of a Greek Chorus or, worse yet, style myself as The Oracle at Utah, I feel compelled to warn everyone that there is a chance that Harris will occupy the Oval Office in January. The doldrums that accompanied Biden's decline will likely vaporize as the Democratic faithful anoint the latest incarnation of their savior. The expected celebrity nabobs have prairie-dogged up from their various burrows on the B, C, and declining A-lists to express their joy that Kamala Harris has entered the chat. I won't name them here since I...

A short time back, our editor-in-chief said that there had been a school shooting in Nashville, and asked if anyone would cover it. I wrote the first story about it for PJ Media. It wasn’t the first time I had ever written about human tragedy or cruelty. And I have hated doing it every time.

Earlier in the day, I warned readers that Biden was set to make Wednesday night about democracy. Well, I watched Custard’s Last Stand.

The dissenting votes were from the United States, Canada, Israel, Micronesia, and Palau.

Is Gavin Newsom completely tone-deaf, self-centered, and deluded? Does he have something to gain by emptying California of its population and ruining it economically? Is he trying to showcase his progressive chops for a potential run against DeSantis for the POTUS slot? Or is he just a terrible human being? If you said all of the above, you may already be a winner. Newsom, in his never-ending quest to make California a post-apocalyptic wasteland of mob rule, Mad Max-style running battles, ritual cannibalism, mutant animals, and the adult version of Lord of the Flies, has signed AB-2098 into law, according...
