Throughout the Trump administration, Democrats have been endorsing violence as a political tactic. Tom Elliott, founder and editor of Grabien, cites examples of the toxic atmosphere oozing from the DNC. Cory Booker urged people to answer a “call to action” to protest at the Capitol. “Please, get up in the face of some congresspeople.” (2018) […]
Key West’s Number One Restaurant: The Thirsty Mermaid
Based on how often Dick and I are in the “Mermaid,” it is not even close. And our endorsement is not meant as any negative for the always marvelous Louie’s Backyard or Latitudes at Sunset Key. The Thirsty Mermaid comes out of the box with a huge jump: The oyster purveyor is Island Creek in […]
Cancel Culture, the Great Purge, Double Standards
“NO violence, NO lawbreaking, NO vandalism.” President Trump released a statement and video yesterday where he said all the right things. Two little, too late? Perhaps. There are many examples, however, of Democrats urging violence against Trump and his supporters. No one is attempting to justify Trump’s election rhetoric. Instead, as BRIGHT editors explain, “It’s simply a plea for […]
How S.D. Surged in Vaccination Inoculations
State leaders apparently did not believe the media consensus that a rapid vaccine approval couldn’t happen. South Dakota, as James Freeman writes in the WSJ, was prepared for the possibility of success. It’s important to also keep in mind that South Dakota’s population is a small fraction of, for example, New York’s. Furthermore, South Dakota is about […]
Who’s Inciting Violence: Trump or Democrats?
The Manhattan Contrarian is giving readers a fitting challenge. Francis Menton (aka the MC) presents six of what he feels could be considered the most concerning statements from Trump’s speech. Francis Menton also gives credit to Ann Althouse. On 8 January, Ms. Althouse went through the transcript of Trump’s speech and selected the statements that […]
Impeachment Redux
Exactly how will Mrs. Pelosi argue the legal merits of impeaching President Trump? As it was last time, she might have trouble defining exactly how Donald Trump broke the law. As James Freeman happily notes, Mr. Trump has First Amendment rights, just like I do and you do. And the way Trump chose to exercise […]
Will We Remain a Nation Divided?
Where are cooler heads when we need them most? Do Joe Biden, fellow Democrats, and the media have any intent on “healing” and unifying” our nation? If so, not much has been shown thus far. As Stephen L. Miller suggests in the Spectator: “Maybe this is because it’s in the best interest of the Biden […]
The Coordinated Attack on Free Speech
What was the most disturbing event last week in the U.S.? More troubling than the mob besieging and breaking into the capital last Wednesday, is the “apparently coordinated attack by Big Tech to destroy free speech,” warns Roger Kimball in American Greatness. Tech Oligarchs’ Unchecked Power In a conversation with journalist Glenn Greenwald, reports Kimball, […]
Why Did DC Police Fail?
Was Wednesday’s police failure influenced by the anti-police sentiment fueled by BLM and Antifa demonstrations and destruction over last summer? Mayor Muriel Bowser tweeted on Tuesday that DC “is not requesting other federal law enforcement personnel and discourages any additional deployment without immediate notification to, and consultation with” the Metropolitan Police Department. By Thursday D.C. Mayor Bowser […]
Will Double Standards Be the Norm?
Half the country is likely to use yesterday’s events to malign Trump and his supporters and to condemn the violent attack on the Capitol (as they should). Meanwhile, will they also continue to excuse the violent BLM protests and riots that happened all summer? As BRIGHT editors (The Federalist) observe, double standards are the norm. […]
