Last week CNN published a story headlined “Concerns rising inside White House over surge in violent crime.”
A nationwide surge in violent crime has emerged as a growing area of concern inside the White House, where President Joe Biden and his aides have listened with alarm as local authorities warn a brutal summer of killing lies ahead…
ROSWELL, N.M. | It’s easy to miss amid the racks of UFO T-shirts and shelves jam-packed with alien memorabilia.
But just inside the door of Max and Luana Stacy‘s downtown Roswell shop hangs a small photo of several glowing orbs in the sky. It was taken through the window of a Southwest Airlines flight in 2015, about a year after the couple opened their store.
Experts are sounding the alarm about potential cyberattacks on the Tokyo Summer Olympics from those looking to create chaos at the already embattled event.
The concerns come after a year of escalating cyberattacks against a range of institutions, and as global tensions have skyrocketed during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.
To compare much of social media to a swamp, a sewer, a cesspool or an old-fashioned outhouse is to miss the point.
There is without question an offputting stink to all those entities, enough to discourage people from hanging around any longer than essential. But mere nature lacks something at which online communications excel: the malevolence, the cruelty, the bitterness, the truthlessness and the all-encompassing anger that typifies so much of what gets channelled into cyber discourse in the guise of discussion, commentary, debate, opinion or simple free speech.

Not long after we became hunting buddies some years ago, I told him I am gay. His response was, “and that will affect our hunting how?” Since then, our friendship and hunting partnership flourished.
A long time reader of this blog has survived a run in with the cancel culture mob.
America’s teachers’ unions are the country’s single most malign influence. They do more to promote leftist extremism, and do it more effectively, than anyone else. The teachers’ unions dominate the schools of education, from which most teachers come, and they control school board elections in most districts. In effect, they run the public schools, which is the main reason why the public schools are so bad.
How radical are they?
CHICAGO—As Chicago aldermen took turns questioning Police Superintendent David Brown about an alarming crime wave on Friday, Brown said police officers had done their utmost and that the blame should be directed at the court system which had sent too many violent offenders back on the street.
About 20 aldermen requested the special city council meeting with Brown following two violent weekends that saw 24 people killed and 114 injured in Chicago. The day before the meeting, a 1-month-old baby and a 9-year-old girl were both shot in the head; another 8-year-old girl was shot in the arm.
As China launches a series of celebrations marking the centenary of the foundation of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), one question cannot be avoided: Is there anything to celebrate?
As far as the party is concerned, the answer is yes.
In light of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Canada Day message urging us to reflect on our relationship with Canada’s Indigenous people, I’ve been reflecting on why his government can’t get clean water to every Indigenous reserve in Canada, despite spending $24.5 billion on Indigenous issues this year.
In theory, Vogue magazine is said to be, per Wikipedia, “an American monthly fashion and lifestyle magazine that covers many topics, including fashion, beauty, culture, living, and runway.”
Gentle readers, will your vacation travels bring you to Los Angeles this summer? You’ll want to visit Universal Studios and Disneyland, surely, or maybe take a stroll down the beach in Malibu or Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. And you’ll want to see the wildlife at the Los Angeles Zoo, which at last has reopened after being shut down during the pandemic. But if it’s truly exotic life forms you wish to see, you can’t go wrong with a day trip down to Venice Beach, the zoo that never closes, where you’ll be treated to a spectacle that would have had Marlin Perkins cowering in his Land Rover.
A prominent teachers union has vowed to ‘research’ organizations that oppose Critical Race Theory (CRT), which is commonly referred to as “anti-racist” education to make it seem impossible to reject.
A video from Ocean City, Maryland, has captured a massive fireworks explosion on the beach. Reports say a truck packed to the brim for 4th of July celebrations was the source of the blast.
So this just happened in Ocean City, MD. pic.twitter.com/B0djA8JxF7
