Those who read this site regularly (when I actually do post) will note that my disdain for self-proclaimed media "fact checkers" runs wide and deep—with good reason. Fact Checking Frauds Last week the Washington Post "fact checker" Michelle Ye Hee Lee decided to exercise her liberal hack muscles and look into GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina's […]
Conflicts of interest are not uncommon occurrences. In most professional settings, when these sorts of things occur they're taken care of without much of a kerfuffle. If a football referee has a son playing on a football team, he doesn't referee that particular game. Sometimes, in the interest of making things as aboveboard as possible, […]
Back in the 2008 primary season I wrote a short post featuring sci-fi author Robert Heinlein's advice on how to vote without needing to do extensive research on a candidate's political positions, history, etc. If you are part of a society that votes, then do so.

For those who haven't been following it, Kim Davis is a Democratic County Clerk in Rowan County, Kentucky who is refusing to issue marriage certificates because she considers gay marriage a sin.

Rev. Dr. David Gushee has penned a "prayer" to the gun. He begins with this note: Some will find this post sacrilegious. What is truly a sacrilege is our devotion to an Object that keeps killing us and our children. I didn't find the post sacrilegious. I found it foolish, dishonest and stupid. When a black, […]
Yesterday morning, Vester Flanagan approached two of his former colleagues as they did a live report for the morning news. He shot and killed Alison Parker and Adam Ward in cold blood. This has led to the usual calls for more gun control and "common sense gun regulations" to keep firearms out of the hands of […]
I'll write a longer piece on the tragic assassination of two journalists on live TV yesterday in Virginia later. There's a lot of stupid floating around on the Web right now and I just wanted to highlight one small part of it. Here's a stupid proposal from filmmaker and propagandist Michael Flint. Modest Proposal#2:TIME says […]
Newsbusters highlighted some common sense on the part of GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina on NBC News' "Meet the Press" this morning. Host Chuck Todd presented Fiorina with the common, accepted liberal wisdom that climate change is contributing to the drought and wildfires that are plaguing her home state of California. As Fiorina noted, droughts […]
If you read any of the critics of the self-appointed fact-checkers at Politifraud, you'll realize that the media organization is far from the unbiased referee it pretends to be. It's a left-wing media organization through and through. One that's actually worse that most at suppressing its biases. Today's case in point is a Politifact Georgia "fact-check" […]
This is hilarious. In the spirit of the Downfall parody videos, we bring you Klintondämmerung! It's been a bad week for Hillary Clinton, and it's just going to get worse.
