Transformation
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: President Obama promised to transform America. A college degree is no longer a sure investment. Real estate is no longer an escalator to wealth. Government bonds pay the lowest rates ever. Race relations have never been worse. Bathrooms are confusing. Once, at least we had . . . The…

Falcon Heights And Dallas
I’m going to take a moment to cite Berg’s Eighteenth Law of Media Latency: “Nothing the media writes/says about any emotionally charged event – a mass shooting, a police shooting, anything – should be taken seriously for 48 hours after the original incident. It will largely be rubbish, as media outlets vie to “scoop” each…

Technical Difficulties
I’ve been a Comcast Internet customer for the better part of 16 years, now. And are very, very rarely have problems with my service. But when I do, it’s a humdinger. I’m going to hope to be back online on Monday.

Ehrlich Style!
Whenever your elite betters on the left thunder their jeremiads, telling you you need to adopt one or another of their draconian responses to some catastrophe just over the horizon, because science, remind them that the essence of science is disproving hypotheses. Which has been happening a lot.

Rule Of Law
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Conservatives are upset the FBI’s recommends no prosecution of Hillary for her email crimes. They say the fix was in, and this line proves it: “To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To…

Another Shooting
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails about the story of the day: White cop from St. Anthony department shot Black man at traffic stop on Larpenteur at Fry in Falcon Heights. Passenger took video, protests and vigils occurring. you might want to reiterate your policy of refusing to comment until facts are known to stop…

As We Wait, And Wait…
…for the wave of “right wing violence” that, we are assured, will be much worse than Al Quada and ISIS and is just around the corner, honest, we see the left’s propensity to thuggery is alive and well: An adjunct professor at Southern State Community College (SSCC) in Ohio is under investigation for threatening to…

If There’s A Bubble In Education Administration…
…then one can only hope that this is the needle. A student on a school bus, seeing another student pointing a gun at a third student, wrestled the would be shooter to the ground, almost certainly saving the intended victim’s life. The school administration reacted… Well, you’ve read this blog for a few years, right?…

Animal State
In California, everybody is subject to “commonsense gun laws”. It’s just that for some, the sense is more common than for others.

Wrong About Rights
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Liberals want to strip gun rights from people on the No Fly List. The only civil rights group standing up for the constitutional rights of citizens is the National Rifle Association. But wait, didn’t the ACLU also object? Sort of. The ACLU objects to using the No Fly List…

“Reasonable”
I have gun control advocates ask me constantly “so what’s wrong with ‘no fly, no buy’?” – in other words, with barring people on the feds’ double-dog secret terror watchlist from buying guns. My response: “You mean, other than completely sidestepping due process? Well, there’s this sort of thing“: Hawaii could become the first state in…

Fraud Alert
Lately, the anti-gunners have been quoting “Shootingtracker.com” as a “source” in claiming that “there’s a mass shooting ever day in the US”. Of course, “mass shootings” – a shooting in which four or more people are killed or injured, no matter what the motivation of the shooter/s, is not the same as a “spree killing”…

The New Curmudgeons
Reading this piece in the NY Times about feckless British millennials sniveling about the Brexit, mostly focusing on travel to the continent getting more difficult and overseas study getting more expensive (a very dubious conclusion), it occurred to me – the millennial generation is more reactionary and terrified of change than their elders are.

A Whole New Flavor Of “Democracy”
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Some RINOs are talking about joining Democrats to base gun control on a secret Enemies List. The proposal is contrary to the fundamental philosophy underpinning American government. The Founders told us in the Declaration that Rights come from God, not from Government. The Founders explained in the Federalist papers…

The Somme, Part II: The First Day
It was well before dawn, on what promised to be a warm day in central France. The 11th Battalion of the East Lancashire Regiment – the “Accrington Pals”, who’d volunteered en masse for service in the war, in line with the great British tradition of turning out for King and Country – had had a busy year;…

Another Guy With A Gun
Carry permit holder in South Carolina interrupts a mass shooting. Probably not a “spree killing” or “rampage killing” – it looks more like a crime of passion or gangland outbreak – but why quibble? The good guys won one. That is an unalloyed good.

Mixed Messages
Being a liberal must be confusing. Exhibit A: This week’s City Pages. On the one hand: Mike Mullen complains that Mendards’ management training program urges the store’s staff to oppose tax hikes. Because taxes are what makes life worth living, and by no means should Menards expect its management to support the store’s financial health, nosirreebob. On the…

Mother Nature
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: In the olden days, a child born out of wedlock was illegitimate and not entitled to support from the father. Fear for her child kept women from straying which contributed to social stability. Apparently, it’s not just a human thing. Too bad the birdbrains who changed our laws are…

The Somme, Part I: The Accrington Pals
100 years ago tomorrow, the Battle of the Somme began. We’ll come back to that tomorrow, on the anniversary of the battle’s launch. First, we’re going to talk tradition. Since 1588, when Queen Elizabeth I’s brand-new Royal Navy destroyed a Spanish invasion fleet, the United Kingdom had depended on the Royal Navy to be both…
