The Terrorists’ Nutjob Mother
Yes, I’m as shocked as I’m sure you all are to learn that she is also on a terrorist watch list. The more that comes out on this, the more our government looks like Keystone Cops.
But at least we can agree with her on one thing. Like her, I’m sorry that she ever brought her murdering sons to the United States.
“Stop Thinking We’re Violent!”
“…or I’ll kill you or blow off your legs!”

Mark Steyn on anger management:
And now the media are full of stories about how the Tsarnaevs were all-American kids and “beautiful, beautiful boys” and maybe it was the boxing or the Ben Affleck movies or the classical music but, whatever it was, it was nothing to do with Islam. Nothing whatever.
So I guess it worked.
It always works with the fools in the media.

“Soon we’ll be told American society is responsible for the Tsarnaevs because of our consumerist addiction to pressure cookers.”
Also, I fearlessly predict calls for, and introduction of legislation to ban the purchase and possession of recreational fireworks by the general public.

Aaaaaannnndd…Jerry Rivers is first out of the gate.
Biting The Hand
As Mark Twain wrote, the principal difference between a dog and a man is that the former won’t bite the hand that feeds it. Once again, we see a connection between welfare and terrorism. As in the UK, we fund their lifestyles so that they have the leisure and resources to plot to murder and maim us.

Did Boston have it coming? The UN (of course!) says yes. Remember: blame America first.
And of course, fisking lying anti-Semitic leftist Richard Falk is like shooting a whale in a barrel. I heard him speak in Ann Arbor in the late seventies, when I was a student. He doesn’t seem to have learned much in the interim.
Hillary And Benghazi
Hey, it wouldn’t be the first time she’s lied under oath. She did it routinely in the nineties.
Hezbollah
Is it the beginning of the end?
If so, that would be a bit of good news from a bad neighborhood.
The Boston Bombing
Of course it was. So was Fort Hood, and it’s insane, or stupid, or both, to try to deny it.

Recognizing the enemy: lessons from the Cold War.
Seven Rounds
You know what no one in Boston was saying, or even thinking last week? “I wish I had a smaller magazine.”
Shocking News From AP
Well, shocking to them, anyway: terrorists don’t seem to pay much attention to gun laws. Whoda thunk it?
“If It Saves Just One Life”
I agree with this take on how the terrorists won in Boston. This sort of irrational risk aversion is the theme of my book. “Safe” is never an option, in any absolute sense. In order to prevent a potential death of a citizen, the authorities shut the whole town down, costing hundreds of millions of dollars to the local (and probably national) economy. The whole town, that is, except for the Duncan Donuts shops. Which, as he says, really tells you everything you need to know. It was security theater, just like TSA.
