It’s tragic that a 15-year-old Texas boy was killed this week, dying by police gunfire. According to the story, Jamie Gonzalez, a student at Cummings Middle School in Brownsville, TX, brought a pellet gun to school, one that closely resembles an actual firearm. He was supposedly brandishing that gun which is what got the cops [...]
No event could possibly highlight better the sheer disgust that’s plagued me over any attempt to rationally discuss anything with the Left these days than the shootings last week in Tucson, AZ. No sooner than I had decided to relaunch my blogging efforts did a true tragedy occur. A literally insane man (if the evidence [...]
Over the last week you may have heard references to some techie topic that used the term “Firesheep” and wondered briefly what that was. You might also have heard that it deals with hacking, a security loophole in WiFi, or any number of other things. I’ve been looking at this for a few days and [...]
After all of the ginned-up outrage President Obama, his fellow Democrats, and their media allies have sprayed all over the place over their completely unsupported accusations of foreign money and activities assisting efforts against them, you’d have to be forgiven for assuming they’re against such foreign intrusion into our electoral process.

They made comments to those people heading into the polls that several voters called threatening and generally made a show [...]
Another challenge to Arizona’s enforcement law has been laid down, this time directly addressing the notion that immigrations law and enforcement are duties that fall to the federal government and not the states. In their 44 page filing, the plaintiffs call the law an “unprecedented attempt by a single state to regulate immigration” and “a [...]
Via HotAir we have a vid of a John McCain ad touting his support of border security and – seriously – the border fence: So Senator “Jam-Amnesty-Down-America’s-Throat”, Senator “I’ll build the g-ddamned fence if they want it” is the go-to guy on matters of border security and he’s perturbed that the border fence hasn’t been [...]
The guy who hacked then-VP candidate Sarah Palin’s personal e-mail account was convicted Friday of 2 of the 4 charges filed against him, computer fraud and obstruction of justice.
