VIDEO: Mother Charged With Drowning Her Six-Year-Old Daughter

It’s always horrifying to hear about the death of a child, but it’s especially so when that death is caused by the child’s parents. And there’s something particularly awful when a mother kills their child — perhaps because for most, the bond between mother and child is so strong that it’s impossible to understand how […]

Where Black Lives DON’T Matter: 7 hurt in Chicago shootings since Christmas Eve Wednesday morning: Guess who got shot and who did the shooting that Rev. Sharpton never seems to notice?

From The Last Tradition In 2015 try Googling “Chicago shooting” on any Monday morning and chances will very high you’d see 6 to 15 shootings that occurred that weekend in the Windy City. But, I can’t recall one march led by the Rev. Al Sharpton protesting shootings by blacks upon other blacks in Chicago, Philadelphia, […]

780,000 Good Men And Women In Blue

Trying to make sense of the assassination of two police officers on the Saturday before Christmas, my mind keeps drifting back to the morning of March 13, 2010. That’s the day a police officer saved the lives of my family. Shortly after 5 in the morning, my wife and I heard noise outside. I thought […]

Democrats Can’t Be Dad

Democrats have done very well politically by convincing voters that they are, in a very broad sense, on the side of the little guy. “Republicans,” they say, “take care of the rich, but we Democrats are the party that brought you Social Security, Medicare, Head Start, the Civil Rights Act, free school lunches, Aid to […]

So near and yet so far: A brave dog grabs a rope and then attempts to scramble to safety after falling down a well… only to keep slipping when it nears the top – until it finally manages to climb free [Video]

Definitely a smart puppy. The rescue worker deserves kudos for not giving up till the dog was safe and sound. I bet you though, if the dog had not managed to do it, someone would have either lowered a bucket or gone down after the pooch. I know I would have. The instinct for survival […]

Yes, Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus

Every Christmas, after the presents are opened and breakfast is being made, I read this first in the paper (ye olde parental units get an actual paper, and they live in NJ). It is a Christmas classic that has always touched my soul. While some people outside of the Tri-State area have heard of it, […]

What If It’s True?

Suppose what some call the “Christmas story” is true — all of it, from the angels, to the shepherds, to the virgin birth, to God taking on human flesh. By this, I don’t mean to suggest it is true only for those who believe it to be true, but what if it is objectively true, […]

Washington Power Is Flowing Away

Too much power being grabbed by Washington — Obamacare, environmental regulations, education standards. That’s a constant complaint of conservatives not only during Barack Obama’s presidency but during George W. Bush’s as well. But power is also flowing out of Washington, largely unnoticed, and back to the states and localities. You can see that if you […]

She Is the Very Leader of the Democrat Minority

With apologies to W.S. Gilbert and “The Pirates of Penzance.” I am the very leader of the Democrat minority. I used to rule the House, but then I blew the D’s majority. I pass a bill so I can read what’s written deep inside of it. Though November felt like Waterloo, it won’t come off […]

VIDEO: Marvel vs. D.C. in Epic Fan-Made Movie Trailer

Superhero movies are massively successful at the box office right now, with the Marvel universe in one corner, and D.C. in the other. But what if the studios came together to make one epic movie? A fan-made trailer shows what that might look like. Exactly what would happen if the heroes from the live action […]

Public Pension Doom Begins to Descend

Grotesquely extravagant public sector pensions are a Sword of Damocles hanging over the economy. The thread preventing this sword from coming down on our heads is starting to fray. In Pennsylvania, localities are jacking up taxes in a desperate attempt to meet their obligations. In Lancaster: Lancaster city taxpayers will see an increase in their […]

“I’d Unleash Hell”: American Sniper Chris Kyle’s Dad Put Clint Eastwood and Bradley Cooper in Their Place Before Filming

Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in American history, led a life that was legendary and incredible, to say the least — so it isn’t entirely surprising that Hollywood came calling. But given how Hollywood tends to be an anti-military liberal machine, his dad was understandably concerned, and so he gave them a warning of […]
