Brian Krassenstein, one of two brothers who rose to viral fame via facile, curt responses to President Donald Trump’s tweets, is under fire after a post suggesting the president needs to be put “to sleep.” In a Christmas Eve missive, Krassenstein aped language Trump used about Stephen Colbert in a Truth Social post — albeit without the context that made Trump’s post passable — to imply that the 47th president needed to go by means one could reasonably speculate on. “Trump is a dead man walking,” Krassenstein wrote on Christmas Eve. “America should ‘put him to sleep,’ NOW. “It is...

Newly-released videos show the moments a man attacked a woman at random outside the King County Courthouse in downtown Seattle earlier this month.

Today I'm happy to announce the availability of the book Reflections on Violence, by George Sorel. A lot can be said about this book, but one of the keys to it is that the outlook it carries was instrumental to the syndicalism that motivated radicals in Italy in the early 20th century. It is a little outside of my normal focus but someone else started this work and then abandoned it, and I am aware of this book's importance so I continued its work to completion. It's been somewhat slow over at LibriVox these days, not that I haven't been...

An emergency medical services (EMS) expert testified Tuesday in the ongoing wrongful death lawsuit Mays v.

Even the left-leaning Politico has named Murphy, the Democrat junior senator from Connecticut, as one of "The 7 Most Shameless Attention-Seekers in Congress." And sure enough, just hours after the mass shooting at Brown University, there was Murphy on CNN's State of the Union....

Incident Analysis (High-Level, Non-Instructional) 1.

Decision-Making Under Stress ​The bystander does not flee blindly nor rush...
