From local KSTP-5 TV (ABC), Two assisted living facilities managed by a woman charged in an alleged sex trafficking conspiracy will be permanently shut down, the Minnesota Department of Health said Thursday. That’s the world we live in now. While our feckless, lame-duck Gov. Tim Walz runs around trying to burnish his “legacy,” the wheels are coming off state government. I’ve been following this…
Matt Calkins was a sports columnist at the Seattle Times for 11 years. He resigned because, not for the first time, the newspaper’s management declined to run a column by him that they thought was too controversial. After 11 years as a sports columnist at the Seattle Times, I have decided to resign. It was entirely my choice, and it was not an easy one. The impetus was the Times
Socialism is the worst disaster in the history of the human race. The Black Death, which killed perhaps one-half the population of Europe and Asia, is probably in second place. So it seems odd that we still need to explain to people that socialism is a bad idea. This video, produced by Independent Women’s Voice, is aimed mostly at young women. It’s pretty good, although the socialist future it…
Last week, Britain’s Home Office published a short document aimed at “migrants” and titled “Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers.” It informs asylum seekers of basic British norms, and urges such persons to comply with them. The norms are pretty fundamental: women have rights under British law, for example. But the following injunction raises obvious…
In his August 18 column “Hating Israel fatigue.” our friend Victor Davis Hanson confronts the tidal wave of anti-Semitism rolling over us. His column now comes with the recommendation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. For those who want to understand what has happened since October 7, this is a worthy read. Thank you, Victor Davis Hanson, for the moral clarity in your important…
As I have lamented previously, MyPillow man Mike Lindell was a crank candidate for Minnesota’s GOP gubernatorial nomination. President Trump did his best to preserve the perfect losing record of Minnesota Republicans in statewide races over the past 20 years by endorsing Lindell. For reasons that remain obscure to me, Trump endorsed Lindell on July 15. Trump continued plumping for Lindell right…
The Washington Free Beacon devotes an editorial to Simon & Schuster’s continued marketing of the late Cambridge Professor Jason Arday’s “memoir” Great and Unfortunate Things, among which must now be numbered Arday’s suicide. Simon & Schuster now notes that it published the book “days before his untimely death on August 14, 2026.” Something happened. As the Free Beacon editorial observes, Simon &…
I more or less enjoyed the victory of whack job socialist Angie Nixon in Florida’s Democratic primary yesterday. It now falls to Florida’s Democratic Party to support another of the Dems’ most fashionable whackos for the United States Senate. Maybe they can call on Abdul El-Sayed or Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib to hit the trail for her in Miami and Palm Beach. It should all go swimmingly. I…
Dr. Oz was back in Minneapolis, this time shooting a video at the airport about those suitcases full of cash flying overseas. Dr. Oz was making the useful point that the time to stop fraud comes long before it’s loaded in suitcases. But the backdrop of his video hammers home the point that Minnesota has become a punchline, known across the globe, in every timezone, for fraud. As if on
Scott wrote here about Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff’s smear of President Trump and his aide Natalie Harp, implying that they have an illicit relationship. This pretty well sums it up: Natalie Harp is a bone cancer survivor who only lived because Trump greenlit the right to try an experimental treatment when you were terminal. I met her back then. She went to work for him after recovery. @ossoff…
