On Sunday, the San Luis Obispo Tribune published my latest column on the Democrats vying to replace retiring Rep. Lois Capps (D-Santa Barbara) this fall. In the proposed headline and text of the originally submitted column, I used the phrase "political virtue-signaling." My use doesn't quite match the urban dictionary definition, instead I would define it […]
Doritos was one of the advertisers during the CBS broadcast of Super Bowl 50 yesterday. One of their ads was this clever one: Which didn't sit well with the harpies controlling the NARAL Pro-Choice America Twitter feed. #NotBuyingIt - that @Doritos ad using #antichoice tactic of humanizing fetuses & sexist tropes of dads as clueless & […]
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" […]
The Center for Medical Progress has released three videos over the past few weeks featuring some pretty grotesque stuff. As if the violence and horror of abortion itself wasn't enough, Planned Parenthood appears to be adjusting the procedure so as to recover as many intact fetal organs so they can be sold to companies like […]
The Columbia Journalism Review's tagline is "The future of media is here." If it is, then journalism is in worse shape than it appears—and that takes some doing. In the days following Kirsten Power's "Come to Jesus" column calling out the mainstream media for its failure I pointed out to a shocked Mollie Hemingway of GetReligion.org […]
This morning's "Morning Jolt" e-newsletter written by National Review's Jim Geraghty has some discussion of the Obama administration scandal du jour that the IRS targeted conservative groups with "Tea Party" and "Patriot" in their names for extra harrassment scrutiny when filing for tax-exempt status. We don't yet know who exactly knew what and when. There's no evidence […]
Bucks County Courier Times columnist J.D. Mullane asked an extremely insightful and disturbing question over the weekend. Wondering: Did Dr. Kermit Gosnell ever deliver a baby and let it live? #Gosnell — jdmullane (@jdmullane) April 18, 2013 This is an interesting question, because less than a year ago, some audio from Illinois’ debate over the […]
For those of you without the intestinal fortitude to read the entire grand jury report on what they found a Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s clinic, The Wall Street Journal’s James Taranto dug out a bit of history from the report that makes you wonder why this guy wasn’t drummed out of the medical profession four […]
The American left’s formulation not two decades ago was that abortion should be “safe, legal and rare.” As our culture has “progressed,” they first dropped the “rare.” The end of that public posturing was made apparent when the liberal clergy like Katherine Hancock Ragsdale preached from the pulpit that “abortion is a blessing.” It's 2013 […]
The Kermit Gosnell trial is going on in Pennsylvania. You’ll be forgiven if you didn’t see any coverage of it on the evening news. The famous Clinton formulation of keeping abortion “safe, legal and rare” is two-thirds lies. Legal is the only important one which is why Gosnell was able to run his house of […]
