It was soon after my son graduated from college and moved out west to work in a start-up where the second round before Y Combinator was mere months away, and they weren’t ready with a working prototype. It was exciting and heady to be involved in a start up, even if I thought the idea they were working on was dumb. After all, a lot of dumb ideas seemed to succeed, even if only for…

Remember the video of Antifa in Portland smashing the windows of the Democratic Party office? Well, it definitely happened, but you shouldn’t believe it happened because it was captured by video taken by the right wing #Riot Squad. It wasn’t fake video. It was absolutely real video. But it was bad video and the Intercept can prove it. On the air, Ingraham attributed the destruction to “antifa thugs,” using the right-wing shorthand that lumps…

Having been binge-watching a show on Hulu, a commercial for Lexus is played repeatedly. Every time I see it, I have the same thought. “So empathy is buying a Lexus?” The commercial is idiotic. The dialogue is idiotic. I hope Emmanuel Acho got paid a fortune for the gig. David Brooks writes that fear of wokeism is overwrought, as it is already being subsumed by capitalism. The meritocracy has one job: to funnel young…

Jan: Let’s get acquainted. You’re a journalist at the New York Times, a former newspaper. Assigned to cover vaccine rollout, you decided to figure out why some people aren’t getting the COVID-19 vaccine. I’m Chris. I’m from Greeneville, Tennessee. Born and raised. And after this hatchet job you wrote, you and I have a problem. I get it. You need to push a narrative white Christian evangelicals aren’t getting vaccinated. If they don’t, they’re…

Robert Long murdered eight people in Atlanta, six of whom were Asian women. If convicted, he will not be breathing free air ever again. But that wasn’t good enough for Fani Willis, District Attorney of Fulton County who ran for office as a progressive prosecutor against the death penalty. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis says she will seek death penalty for the Atlanta spa shootings suspect, despite campaigning on her opposition to it: “Unfortunately,…

Among the great many flagrant failings of the woke is violence. It was once about punching Nazis, but has metastasized since into justified violence against anyone who doesn’t share their religion. But it’s unfair to chalk up the provocation faced by 27-year-old Corey Pujols, the manager of a Dunkin’ (formerly Donuts) when a 77-year-old angry customer pushed his button. Twice. A Dunkin’ employee faces a manslaughter charge after punching a customer who then fell,…

Gaming venue is a time-honored endeavor for lawyers. Who doesn’t try to find the most amenable court possible to pursue their claim? Of course, courts don’t always play along, sending you back to where you should have been in the first place, if not dismissing your case as a reminder that games have losers. And now Congress wants in on the action. Court picking is when Congress uses its authority over federal-court jurisdiction to…
