Conventional wisdom puts forth the perverted idea that all cops have a Derek Chauvin mean streak inside them, just waiting to come out given half a chance. It’s a real fear for some. I understand that. But it doesn’t ring true. Look, each hour of every day cops interact with thousands of people across the nation, from traffic tickets to domestic disputes. It is rare when … [Read more...]

Of all the presidents of this century, the one that made the most sense to me about immigration was George W. Bush.  Not many listened to him at the time, but he articulated a sensible policy that embraced that long standing American ideal that we are a nation of immigrants. Together we are stronger than apart. Inclusion is something to be cheered, not … [Read more...]

Remember when President Biden called Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision to lift the ban on masks “neanderthal thinking?” Well, it looks like the neanderthal’s knew something President Biden and the CDC didn’t.  Texas lifted the mask ban in early March. At that time, daily cases of COVID-19 averaged 7,000 per day. As of April 10, cases dipped to about 4,000 per … [Read more...]

In this post-George Floyd world in which hipster journalists cram news stories into the woke narrative of systemic white racism, quality reporting goes by the wayside. In Washington, D.C. two girls, age 15 and 13, used a stun gun to steal a car from an immigrant. A struggle ensued, resulting in the death of Mohammad Anwar, 66. The girls are charged with murder.  A … [Read more...]

I’m painting with a wide brush today, but it needs to be so: Washington journalists suck.  President Joe Biden held his first press conference last week. Of the 10 hand-selected reporters called upon by the president’s handlers, not one  asked about the COVID-19 pandemic or the flagging American economy.  That’s malpractice of the first … [Read more...]

As I confessed to you last week, my Nevada sensibilities get tested when examining the news for Battle Born Media newspapers in Northern California. For example, last week I sat in on a public hearing on whether to allow Costco permission to put in a 16-pump gas station.  Environmentalists shook in anger that the town of Novato would even consider allowing this. The … [Read more...]

As this is being written before the end of the Trump impeachment trial, comments on that will have to wait until next week.  Today I would like to tell you about Lucky Pierre the racing snail.  In the area of publicity, it isn’t often that you get to pass off a fictional story as heard news. In the case of Pierre that is exactly what happened.  The story … [Read more...]

Would you vote for somebody who put out a contract for your murder? About 74 million Americans did just that last November. It’s hard for me to sympathize with anyone who wants me dead. I don’t know about you, but I’d have a hard time supporting a buncha crazies who let the current plague get out of control because their promiscuous priest ordered them to do so. Last month, … [Read more...]
