Mass killers hold culture — and country — hostage

Can we please stop holding the country hostage to crazy people? Every year a tiny number of mentally ill people go on horrific killing sprees. It just happened in California.

Why VA Service Won’t Improve

Here’s a not-so-bold prediction: After the press loses interest in the Veterans Affairs scandal, after the investigations have been completed and one or two officials have resigned, nothing will change. Is this cynicism? Not really. It comes down to one’s view of how much government can achieve by bureaucratic, top-down management. The progressive project has […]

However, the book’s popularity is not at all surprising when you consider that […]

‘Winking Murderer’ who threw his daughter into a river strapped to her car seat doesn’t apologize for killing toddler

After sentencing the Winking Murderer, Arthur Morgan apologized. Not for murdering his child.

BELFAST, Northern Ireland — While Tea Party candidates underperformed against establishment Republican incumbents in recent U.S. primary elections, in Europe their conservative cousins have just scored some spectacular victories.
