Earlier this month, 17-year-old high school student Austin Metcalf was stabbed to death at a track meet in Frisco, Texas. Metcalf died in his twin brother’s arms. As an educator who lives just down the road, I know too well how our system failed to keep Metcalf out of harm’s way. Karmelo Anthony, also 17, has been charged with first-degree murder in the fatal stabbing. They had never met before the track meet, according a witness. Anthony brought a knife to the track meet and sat under another team’s tent. When asked to move, he reportedly refused and became aggressive. Metcalf stepped in to ask him to move again, to which

There are so many to blame for the current state of affairs of our youth that I have neither the time nor the inclination to attempt to name them all. First, the obvious, is to blame our forefathers for failing to pay poor European immigrants a stipend to cultivate their crops. Instead, they imported slave labor to perform the task, and that is the root of the problem. Second, blame LBJ and the democrats for their "Great Society" for destroying the black family and beginning the free handouts for votes; this led directly to the entitlement mentality. Third, blame the overall lack of a moral compass in society; no church, no Ten Commandments, no Golden Rule. All of this has led to the current generations instant gratification

Trevon Martin had been caught with stolen valuables in his locker at school, no punishment, no reporting to police. So he expected that any crimes would be unpunished. He was surprised to see that attempted murder was immediately punished, real time. This vicious murderer should spend the rest of his miserable life behind bars.

Little Junior and Little Missy have to be taught from a young age not to be murderous savages and that lesson must be reinforced throughout life to keep people from reverting to that murderous savage. School plays a part, so does church, religion, and family. What we are seeing is part of human nature. There was a time in humanity's past where all or most of humanity was murderous savages. Before Moses and the Ten Commandments where humanity started to grasp the concept of 'Though Shall Not Kill'. We have strayed from that teaching. Many have never had that teaching. End results plays out daily. See it in the news all the time. People are being murdered every day.

Excellent analysis of a HUGE societal problem. Until miscreants face consequences for misconduct, their behavior will escalate. And the more people see others escape punishment, the less motivation they have to exercise self-discipline.

He came to that meet with his knife to cut a white boy. Whether or not he meant to kill him could be a question, but there is no doubt he came to cut a white boy. He should be triad as an adult for first degree murder and he should either be executed for it or spend the rest of his life in prison.

Why would a kid go to a track meet armed with a knife if he did not intend to use it. This was more than a little pocketknife as he stabbed the victim in the heart. The heart is surrounded by a lot of muscle and bone and the killer made only one stab which killed student Austin Metcalf.

I am chagrinned that it has taken me this long to understand the emptiness of Democrat dogma. I started realizing this some years ago when I began building a curriculum for the college logic class I was going to teach; I was searching for debates that were won by left-leaning apologists, thinking I should present examples from both sides of the social/economic/religious worldviews. But I began to suspect that such examples weren’t to be found. I found people -- mostly men -- who could slide around from one logical fallacy to another with slippery skill, but none did any convincing. Then came the Biden administration, when we watched the Democrat hollowness

The Trans Superiority Narrative (TSN) tells us men pretending to be women are special. They’re mystically in touch with a higher reality, a higher morality, a more authentic version of their humanity, their true selves. This exalted, superhuman status means they have “trans rights,” which cancel the actual constitutional rights of everyone else. The old axiom: “my right to swing my fist ends where another’s nose begins” doesn’t apply to trans, particularly not trans boys/men who want to beat girls/women in sports. Normal Americans expected to accept this bizarre interpretation of rights and to fully accept the TSN and laud the “stunning bravery” of trans have long questioned their

Sunday is a “clearing the spindle” day, and one of the things on my spindle has been Nate Silver’s prediction last week that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, aka AOC, is currently the most likely person to be the Democrat party’s 2028 presidential candidate. Frankly, I think he’s right. She’s telegenic, has name recognition, and manages to make the same politics that killed tens of millions of people in the 20th century seem user-friendly. She’s also Bernie Sanders’ anointed heir, and he missed the nomination in 2016 and 2020 only because the Democrat party panicked. Last week, Nate Silver, while acknowledging that it’s early days yet, said he still thinks that it’s possible

Joe Biden has been back in the news, but if he was hoping to rebuild his tarnished legacy, he is achieving the opposite result as his gaffe-filled appearances have merely reminded us of why he was not fit to be president and was forced to step down from his reelection campaign. At his first major speech since Donald Trump took office, Biden on Tuesday began before the music stopped (which meant no one could hear him), rambled on about “colored” kids, tried to fear-monger that Trump wants to take away your Social Security—which he weirdly called a “psychic calm,”

Can you imagine what would have happened if President Donald Trump 45 had the kind of people in his cabinet in the 2020 Summer of Love that he has now? I often think about this. When I hear of another of another Tesla bomber being busted by the feds, however, it gives us a pretty good idea of what those days might have been like. Trump didn’t make it to the White House in 2020. The overwhelming majority of those violent rioters who torched multiple U.S. cities, destroyed other peoples’ property, did billions of dollars in damage, and were responsible for the injuries and deaths of innocent people never did

It seems clear to me that the broad scope and speed of the administration’s actions have knocked the sense out of the media, the Democrats and, alas, the judiciary. They cannot seem to process the swift and expansive range of change without making themselves look ridiculous. The Press I could describe many examples but the easiest most complete one is that of the gang banger, wife beating, human trafficking suspect Salvadorean citizen who illegally crossed out borders and resided here. You know who I mean -- the thug the press describes as a “Maryland Man.” So the nation is transfixed -- or at least Democrats and the news media --
More bad news for Chuck Schumer, survey

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer notched low favorability among voters in April, according to a poll from The Economist/YouGov released on Wednesday. The survey found that just 23% of voters held a favorable view of Schumer, while 51% of respondents said they viewed the New York Democrat unfavorably. The poll comes after Schumer faced enormous intraparty backlash over his vote to help advance a GOP spending bill backed by President Donald Trump in March. Several Democratic lawmakers have notably called for Schumer to step down in recent weeks, including Democratic Maryland Rep. Glenn Ivey and Democratic Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow.

Stephen A. Smith, the fast-talking ESPN “quick take” guru (and occasional beef jerky salesman) is, in a roundabout way, a colleague of Joe Rogan: They’ve appeared together on ESPN’s UFC telecasts. Rogan, of course, is one of the leading experts in cagefighting. He personally competed in martial arts tournaments throughout his early 20s and was an eyewitness to some of the biggest, most dramatic moments in MMA history. He knows the trainers and the fighters like the back of his (fist); they’re his closest friends.

Walz appeared to be making a reference to 29-year-old Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien who was deported to El Salvador and is suspected of being a member of the violent MS-13 gang. Democrats have sought for Garcia to be sent back to the United States, claiming that he has been denied due process.

Scarbourgh claimed the hard-right inside the church “hated” the recently deceased Pope for being “Christ-like.” “I was just going say many on the hard right inside the church were shocked that this Pope would actually borrow from Jesus Christ and living that simple life, borrow from Jesus Christ, and they were radical words when he said it and it was like it was sounded the shot of a cannon.

The twelve-year reign of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis, as the head of the Roman Catholic Church began shortly after the strange and still-unexplained resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, and seven weeks into the second term of Barack Obama as president of the United States. It was fitting that Obama was president during the first four years of Francis’ papacy, as Francis was the Barack Obama of popes: just as Obama did as president of the United States, Pope Francis worked to weaken, instead of strengthen, the institution he was leading, and to provide aid and comfort to its enemies, while confusing and maddening its ardent supporters.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's personal bag was stolen with $3,000 cash inside during a dinner outing at a Washington, DC, restaurant Sunday. Noem’s bag also contained her driver’s license, passport, DHS badge, makeup, checks, medication, and apartment keys, a spokesperson confirmed to The Post. Security footage reviewed by the Secret Service showed a white man in a surgical mask snatching Noem’s bag before leaving the restaurant. The theft was first reported by CNN. The Secret Service has launched an investigation to trace any use of Noem’s financial instruments. It is not clear whether a suspect has been identified or the extent of Noem’s protective detail during Sunday’s outing.

Francis just yesterday greeted Catholic faithful who had gathered to see him at St Peter's Square on Easter Sunday. He delivered his 'Urbi et Orbi' benediction from a balcony overlooking the square following mass to mark the high holiday.
