When I saw this report, the first thought was: "DeGaulle of that woman!" Elvira Arellano was kicked out of the United States last week after she entered the country illegally -- twice -- and defied a deportation order for years. The United States is the one who broke the law first. By letting people cross […]

If you haven't had a chance to read it, head over to National Review Online and check out this article by former U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy on The New York Times false reporting on the recent FISA fix. So, have you heard the latest? Your business records can now be taken away by Big Brother […]

A couple of years back, San Diego Police released the mug shot and name of a 17-year-old murder suspect to the local media. The kid was on the loose and, in the standard law-enforcement wording, "armed and dangerous." A journalistic judgement had to to be made. Does the newspaper run the mug shot? The initial […]

The New Republic appears to still be on their August recess hide-in-a-hole and are, at last report, still standing by their since-discredited Pvt. Scott Thomas Beauchamp. Author and reporter Richard Miniter has what may be the most in-depth account of the TNR/Beauchamp fiasco over at Pajamas Media. Among a string of disturbing revelations is this: […]

Ronald Reagan was an "amiable dunce." George W. Bush is just plain stupid. For some reason that I'm sure is found in some elementary psychology book somewhere, […]

San Diego-are Rep. Bob "The Crusher" Filner has joined the long list of politicians who think that all the laws they pass apply only to the little people and not themselves. Filner (D-Calif.), the chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, has been charged with assault and battery of a United Airlines employee after he allegedly […]
