The neighbor from hell? A Florida woman has been arrested and charged with criminal mischief after she had her neighbors’ home bulldozed. She claims the neighbors were “unsavory.” A lot of people have unsavory neighbors, but bulldozing their homes is a tad extreme. But far from being apologetic, she’s claiming she did the neighborhood a […]

Another one bites the dust! Missouri is the latest state to back out of Common Core. The legislation to dump Common Core just requires one final committee approval before it’s sent to the governor. House Bill 1490 (HB1490) passed through the state senate on May 1 by a 24-8 margin. It had previously passed the […]

What happens when people take up a good cause–in this case, anti-bullying–and turn it into a vehicle for zero-tolerance zealotry? Carson, California, might be able to charge kids as young as kindergarten with misdemeanors for bullying other children. Common sense is apparently too much to ask for these days. The Carson City Council gave preliminary […]

This is unbelievable. Yesterday, I reported that Hillary Clinton’s State Department ignored repeated requests to designate Boko Haram, the Islamist group behind the kidnapping of 200 Nigerian schoolgirls, as a terrorist group. Well, it also turns out that the liberals at MoveOn.org petitioned Hillary to keep Boko Haram off the terrorist watch list, urging her […]

This week, Hillary Clinton talked about the need to “bring back our girls”–the girls and women kidnapped by Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram. But during her tenure as Secretary of State, the State Department was repeatedly asked to label Boko Haram a terrorist organization–and it refused. Why? Because it was a “local grievance,” and it […]

As many of us know, the chance of your tax return being audited by the Internal Revenue Service is about 1%. The odds go up if you’re a multimillionaire…and, apparently, way up if you donate to the Tea Party. House Republicans found that 10% of Tea Party donors have been audited by the IRS. The […]

The police chief of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin will not enforce an ordinance banning guns from city property. The controversy arose after a local mother complained about a dad toting a gun while playing with his kids in a public park. The police chief, David R. Beguhn, reviewed the woman’s complaint and declared the city ordinance invalid, […]

Literally. In January, the Satanic Temple announced plans to build a statue on the lawn of the Oklahoma State House–and the finished product isn’t a pretty sight. The Satanists say the statue is meant for “contemplation and inspiration,” but it’s hard to imagine feeling inspired by such ugliness. Unsurprisingly, the “Satanic Temple” sounds less like […]

Two teen girls who made a viral video of themselves microwaving a kitten are pleading not guilty to animal cruelty. (Miraculously, the kitten survived.) Their lawyer is arguing that the girls: “didn’t understand” what they were doing to the animal–despite the fact that they’re 15, not 5. (And even the 5-year-olds I know understand that it’s […]

Proponents of socialized medicine are always quick to point out: acts of malice, greed, and dishonesty perpetrated by the for-profit health industry, implying that a government-run system wouldn’t have these problems. (Remember Michael Moore’s documentary Sicko?) Well, a whistleblower came: forward with evidence that a (government-run): Phoenix Veterans Affairs hospital has been destroying records to cover up patient […]

This is so, so gut-wrenching. An 8-year-old boy named Martin Cobb: in Richmond, Virginia was beaten to death with a rock after trying to protect his 12-year-old sister from a teen rapist. When Martin tried to intervene, the teen threw a rock at his head, killing him instantly. The rapist has since been apprehended, and the […]

Today in Odd News: V. Stiviano, the mistress who recorded LA Clippers owner Don Sterling’s racist tirade, says she’s running for president someday. Uh…great. I guess. If you thought Hillary Clinton was going to have a free ride into the White House, you’re gonna be very surprised when President V. Stiviano assumes office! If you […]

A “narrow majority” in the Florida Senate has voted to allow an illegal immigrant, Jose Godinez-Samperio, to practice law in the state. Godinez-Samperio was brought to the US from Mexico at age 9 by his parents. Godinez-Samperio, 27, was born in Mexico and came to the United States with his parents when he was 9. […]

I remember the days when people scoffed at the idea that gay marriage could open the door for legalized polygamy and other bizarre arrangements. That would never happen, they said–marriage will remain:  a union between two people, gay or straight, who love each other. Well, a married lesbian threesome is expecting “their” first child. How […]

What is this world coming to? A woman who killed a 17-year-old boy on his bike is suing his parents for the emotional distress she supposedly endured. Somehow, I suspect the parents’ “emotional distress” was greater. Brandon was struck from behind by an SUV and killed while his friend Richard McLean, 16, was seriously injured […]

It looks like more and more practicing Christians are being driven into “the closet.” A student was denied entry into a radiation therapy program at Baltimore County Community College because of his faith. This isn’t just speculation–the director of the program explicitly stated that the field “is not the place for religion.” David French, an […]

Sounds educational! A 42-year-old middle school teacher has been arrested for giving a 15-year-old boy a “full contact” birthday lap dance, during which she touched him with her hands and buttocks. She concluded by saying “I love you, baby.” KHOU reports that the student told police that at the beginning of his third-period class, Smith […]

This story is so sickening it actually brought tears to my eyes. A lesbian couple in Georgia has been arrested for locking a 6-year-old boy in a cage and torturing him while he reportedly yelled “Don’t kill me!” and “Do you love me?” The boy is described as having “psychological issues.” Duh. Who wouldn’t, living […]

Here’s a story to restore your faith in unconditional love! Kong Huang, a Chinese truck driver, was so badly injured in an accident that firefighters thought they might have to amputate his leg in order to free him. Huang refused their help until he called his wife for assurance that she would still love him […]

These enviro-fascists never quit. New York City mayor Bill de Blasio celebrated Earth Day by proposing:  more environmental regulations on private homes, calling for a ban on new wood-burning fireplaces. But he also assured New Yorkers that if they like their wood-burning fireplace, they can keep it. (Where have we heard that before?) Instead of […]

Amid threats of protest from local residents, Attorney General Eric Holder has cancelled plans to give the graduation speech at a police academy in Oklahoma City. Protest organizers said Holder’s presence would be inappropriate, since he himself has failed to uphold the law. “A lot of people just felt that it was very inappropriate for […]

Miracle! After being abducted from his driveway on March 31st,:  10-year-old Willie Myrick sang a gospel song for three hours until the kidnapper “couldn’t stand it” and set him free. The boy walked away unharmed. Willie said he sang the gospel song ‘Every Praise’ repeatedly until the man told him to get out of the […]

In 2008, Obama promised to create a “Civilian national security force.” What do we have today? Over 120,000 armed federal agents in America. Meanwhile, Obama is hard at work trying to take civilians’ guns away. The agencies employ about 120,000 full-time officers authorized to carry guns and make arrests, according to a June 2012 Justice […]

The Pentagon is pleading with the Obama administration to stop a Russian spy plane from flying into U.S. airspace. Insanely, the John Kerry-led State Department has been leaning toward approving it under the “Open Skies Treaty.” Really, what could go wrong? On April 15, the Republican chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Rep. Howard […]
