From William Voegeli, Liberals, Shipwrecked: As a result, identity politics determined the Democratic reaction in 1988 when George W.

Earlier this evening I was watching Tucker Carlson. He had a psychology professor on whose YouTube videos had been blocked by Google but then later unblocked. His name is Jordan Peterson of the University of Toronto. I had never heard of him, and his performance on Carlson's show was not particularly impressive. Having viewed his…

Homo Homini Lupus
A 28-year-old Gypsy girl from the Tene Bimbo crime family 'befriends' an 85 year-old single man, marries him, and then poisons him, causing his death, in an attempt to steal his assets.

“Tookie” Williams Executed
From the Powerblogs archive. Originally posted 13 December 2005. As you all know by now, Stanley "Tookie" Williams was executed at San Quentin, California at 12:35 AM PT.

O. J. Trial NOT the Trial of the Century
How soon they forget, and what paucity of historical sense! Or perhaps journalists just don't care to get things right. Chalk it up to truth decay. The O. J. Simpson murder trial was not the trial of the century. Related articles Could O.J. Simpson be out of prison by autumn? Death Penalty, Abortion, and Certainty

Pope Francis on Capital Punishment
The man is a sorry specimen, a disgrace to the papacy. What a come-down from the brilliant and penetrating Joseph Ratzinger. Part of Bergoglio's latest outburst: “Nowadays the death penalty is unacceptable, however grave the crime of the convicted person,” the Pope said in his June 22 message to the Sixth World Congress against…

More Liberals, More Crime
Thanks to the shysters of the ACLU, working within the lawless climate loosed upon the land by Obama and his Department of (Social) Justice, crime rates are spiking. Heather Wilhelm reports. I have a post on the etymology of 'shyster' which you may enjoy assuming you are not a liberal — or a shyster.

Is it Racist to Refuse to Rent to Criminals?
Contemporary liberals use 'racist' as an all-purpose semantic bludgeon. It can mean almost anything depending on what the lefty agenda is at the moment. For example, if you point out the dangers of radical Islam you may get yourself labeled a 'racist' even though Islam is not a race but a religion. Examples are legion. …
