Michelle Malkin says it’s time to end the War on (Some) Drugs.
This really should be the conservative position. It’s a shame that she had to go through what she did with her daughter to come to it, though.

Mutually Assured Butthurt
Some good advice from Iowahawk.
I agree. Kathy Griffin should keep her job, and university administrators should lose theirs.
Mocking The Snowflakes
The media hates it.
Admittedly, many of them are snowflakes themselves. Or just flakes.
The Nutrition Tide Is Finally Turning
Eat fat to lose weight.
The Gender Warriors
They’re America’s new Puritans.
It’s worth noting that the American Left are in fact the ideological descendants of the people who originally populated New England from old England. It’s why Massachusetts and the northeast in general are such a blue region. The primary difference is merely what they’re puritanical about.
The Violent Left
They’re shocked that we’re starting to hate them back:
Cue the boring moralizing and sanctimonious whimpering of the femmy, bow-tied, submissive branch of conservatism whose obsolete members were shocked to find themselves left behind by the masses to whom these geeks’ sinecures were not the most important objective of the movement. This is where they sniff, “We’re better than that,” and one has to ask ,“Who’s we?” Because, by nature, people are not better than that. They are not designed to sit back and take it while they are abused, condescended to, and told by a classless ruling class that there are now two sets of rules and – guess what? –the old rules are only going to be enforced against them.
We don’t like the new rules – I’d sure prefer a society where no one was getting attacked, having walked through the ruins of a country that took that path – but we normals didn’t choose the new rules. The left did. It gave us Ferguson, Middlebury College, Berkeley, and “Punch a Nazi” – which, conveniently for the left, translates as “punch normals.” And many of us have had personal experiences with this New Hate – jobs lost, hassles, and worse. Some scumbags at an anti-Trump rally attacked my friend and horribly injured his dog. His freaking dog.
So when we start to adopt their rules, they’re shocked? Have they ever met human beings before? It’s not a surprise. It’s inevitable.
It won’t end well for them if they continue down this road, because we have the guns.
The Hayabusa Effect
…is real.
When I was a kid, I wanted a really fast car, and it would still be fun, but I’m not willing to put a lot of effort into getting one.
After Manchester
Brendan O’Neill says it’s time for anger:
The post-terror cultivation of passivity speaks to a profound crisis of – and fear of – the active citizen. It diminishes us as citizens to reduce us to hashtaggers and candle-holders in the wake of serious, disorientating acts of violence against our society. It decommissions the hard thinking and deep feeling citizens ought to pursue after terror attacks. Indeed, in some ways this official post-terror narrative is the unwitting cousin of the terror attack itself. Where terrorism pursues a war of attrition against our social fabric, seeking to rip away bit by bit our confidence and openness and sense of ourselves as free citizens, officialdom and the media diminish our individuality and our social role, through instructing us on what we may feel and think and say about national atrocities and discouraging us from taking responsibility for confronting these atrocities and the ideological and violent rot behind them. The terrorist seeks to weaken our resolve, the powers-that-be want to sedate our emotions, retire our anger, reduce us to wet-eyed performers in their post-terror play. It’s a dual assault on the individual and society.
Civilizations are destroyed not from without, but rot from within.
California’s Universal Health Care
The cost would be larger than the current state budget.
Because, you know, taxes in California aren’t high enough.
The Genius Of Roger Ailes
“What made Fox News so dominant for so long wasn’t just that Roger Ailes built a news network to tell just the right stories to gather a conservative audience, though he did make it a religion, but that his competitors in the news business had built theirs to drive that audience away.”
It’s often been said that he recognized a niche market that wasn’t being satisfied: half the country.
