  • Some Pathological Liars Are More Equal Than Others

    Famous not-actual-Native American Elizabeth Warren, who was not fired from a job for being pregnant, didn’t actually send her kid to public school. But it took other people, in every case, to make that info public. The school thing? Oh, yeah: Sarah Carpenter, a pro-school choice activist who organized a protest of Warren’s Thursday speech in…

  • Opening Shots

    The newly Democrat-clogged Virginia Assembly is hearing a number of California-style gun grab bills in coming weeks.

  • More Of This Now

    A Michigan bill would put liability for mass shootings in “gun free zones” on those posting the zone: State Rep. Gary Eisen, R-St. Clair Township, introduced House Bill 4975, which would revoke governmental immunity from lawsuits arising from injuries sustained on government property where guns are banned. Eisen is also the sponsor of House Bill 4976, which…

  • The Minnesota Medical Association Jumps The…

    …I was going to say “shark”, but it’s really just a 50-something ninny with ELCA Hair and a shark fin taped to their collar who identifies as a shark. Minnesotans’ main concerns about healthcare – about which the MMA is putatively supposed to be concerned, itself – are affordability and access. Naturally, they’ve made gun…

  • I Heard It On The NARN

    Here’s Lacy Johnson’s website. He’s looking for the GOP nomination to run against Ilhan Omar. Help him.

  • Ilhan Omar: Back To The Sixties

    Back in the sixties, when “affordable housing”  – i.e. having places more or less fit for human habitation to put the poor in – became a thing, America (like the UK) went on a binge of building it.  It was awful – Soviet-style high-rises, or endless blocks of cheap townhouses and low-rise buildings, with brutalist…

  • They’ve Got Questions. I’ve Got Answers.

    “Hey, Mitch – why does anyone need a magazine with more than six or seven shots? Future president Joe Biden assures us two is all you need!” I’m going to answer you with a question. Several, actually. First: are you ever going to be attacked by someone who wants to kill you, then and there?…

  • Forget the Ukraine, how did President Trump manage to rig a DNA test, to make Hunter Biden look like heel, to make his father, Joe Biden, lose the Democrat nomination?  The guy’s amazing.  Is there anything he can’t do? Joe Doakes Conceal his mental decline forever? 

  • Minneapolis: Let’s Get Scientific!

    The City of Minneapolis is likely going to vote to bar “conversion therapy” for people under 18. I’m going to add a bit of emphasis: The controversial practice aims to change a person’s sexual orientation from gay to straight. It has drawn the ire of many in the LGBT community and others, who say it doesn’t work, has…

  • A Nation Of Coulters

    Business opportunity: training young Republicans/conservatives how to respond to hate crimes and bullying like this: Not saying Big Left is trying to start a hot civil war. But if they were, I’m not sure what they’d be doing differently.

  • The Leading Causes Of Death In Minnesota

    #3) Cancer #2) Heart disease and its complications #1) People dying while holding their breath waiting for the Star/Tribune, MPR News, and the Big Four TV stations to cover Ilhan Omar’s successive bits of corruption.

  • Surprise In The Box!

    Wait until gang members learned that the first aid kits stock Israeli bandages. What a dilemma for a dutiful Muslim: bleed out or owe your life to a Jew?Joe Doakes Progressives, likely, even moreso.

  • Mark This Down

    October/November, 2019: The Star/Tribune Editorial Board – presumably including member Patricia Lopez – endorses nearly every DFL candidate (with the exception of a scant few Republicans who are either shoe-ins or can’t possibly contend). This pattern has been repeated in nearly every election in recent memory – the past 50 years, at least. Certainly since…

  • We Need A Word

    We need to have a word to convey the most commonly-used idea in conservative media criticism. The idea, to wit, is: Can you imagine what the media would do if a Republican had done something this stupid? It is, of course, one of the most evergreen concepts in media criticism – the notion that if…

  • Rhyme Unreason

    What a horribly un-woke childhood I had.  I remember the old version.Of course, the new version works for the LGBT+ crowd nowadays.And here’s the family court version.Of course, you must listen all the way to the end to get the humor.  I suspect college professors in Wymins Studies never got beyond the first sentence before…

  • Full Gaslight

    On Facebook the other day, The “Reverend” Nancy Nord Bence went full-on gaslight: “To face the reality of our gun problem, you’ll have to admit that you are the problem too. You’ll be forced to connect the dots between guns and your white theology, guns and your nationalism, guns and your Islamophobia, guns and your…

  • Ilhan Omar Doesn’t Need To Think Things Through

    Ilhan Omar on Twitter over the weekend: Wouldn’t make property taxes the equivalent of a poll tax? Of course, politicians in safe blue sinecures don’t have to make sense.

  • Another Walmart. Another Shooting.

    And another good guy with a gun saves the day: From KSWO ABC Channel 7 in Oklahoma: “Multiple witnesses have said the gunman shot two people in a vehicle and a civilian with a gun confronted him, causing the gunman to turn the gun on himself. We are working to confirm that story with Duncan…

  • When The NARN Talks, People Listen. Eventually. Maybe.

    Back in 2007 or so, James Lileks stopped by the NARN broadcast at Back to the Fifties – the classic-car show at the State Fairgrounds that used to be such a vibrant focus of life in the Midway before the same people that brought us Tony Soprano-style trash collection badgered the cruising hot rods out of…

  • When Politicians Try Planning

    The Midway Monitor is delivered free to my doorstep. Big article about the Hamline Midway Coalition trying to figure out what went wrong with parking at the new soccer stadium.  Apparently, there’s not enough parking!  People are parking without permits in the neighborhoods, illegally parking vehicles in no parking zones, clogging up side streets, traffic…

  • Your Best Interests, Peasant

    Just remember – when “progressives” whinge about red areas and GOP voters not “voting for their best interests”, that they are the people who brought you stories like this: Baltimore has just hit 300 homicides for the fifth consecutive year, reported The Baltimore Sun.On a per-capita basis, Baltimore is one of the most dangerous cities in…

  • Re-Education Needed

    Target claims it is a corporate leader for social responsibility, even going so far as to have transgender bathrooms, but they pay their workers a pittance. Evil selfish bastards. Fight for 15! In 2010, Target found on the hard way that there is no “progressive enough” when dealing with the Big Left’s mob; that a…

  • Great Job, Minneapolis

    Whatever you do, stay the course: Keep giving the DFL more chances to try to run a city.    Maybe a few hundred more second chances and they’ll get it… …nah.  Can’t keep a straight face.
