"When I was a kid, this was a free country. I remember it. I have been watching, in sadness and anger, for over seventy years as our precious liberty has slipped ever faster from our grasp- and most people don't even know it's happening."-G. Gordon Liddy
There comes a time in every cop’s career when he receives instructions he knows will waste his time and may even be antithetical to his mission to reduce the fear of crime in his community. Often these instructions are relayed by a sergeant who himself is equally dubious about them, but who is obeying orders to disseminate them. When this happens, it is the wise officer who can say, “Yes, sir,” and then go out and do the right thing, modifying the instructions or ignoring them altogether with the sergeant’s tacit blessing. Every good cop, and every good sergeant, is familiar and comfortable with this arrangement.- Jack Dunphy
"North Korea’s Kim Jong-un has turned into Schrödinger’s dictator, apparently simultaneously alive and near-death."-Jim Geraghty
“We don’t want war, but if you want a war with United States of America, there is one thing I can promise you, so help me God: someone else will raise your sons and daughters.”- Staff Sgt. David G. Bellavia
Prayer is always the preface to blessing. It goes before the blessing as the blessing's shadow. When the sunlight of God's mercies rises upon our necessities, it casts the shadow of prayer far down upon the plain.-Charles H. Spurgeon
I often hear that Social Security must be "means tested", so it isn't given out to people who do not need it.-Mike B
How about means testing Presidential and Congressional pensions and benefits? Why must the poorest of US taxpayers contribute to the pensions of millionaires and billionaires?
"A casino in South Dakota was robbed by a man dressed as a mummy. The suspect was described as being between 25 and 8,000 years old."-Craig Ferguson
"If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there's still a 30% chance we're going to get it wrong."
In short, I stand by everything I wrote, but by nothing that was written about me.-Victor Davis Hanson
Virus is a Latin word originally. For the Romans, it meant poison, venom, slime, or even stench. It is not surprising that physicians at some point long ago took this word to refer to diseases they did not understand—diseases that act as mysteriously as poisons...-W. Robert Godfrey
“The inhabitant of the United States, learns from birth that he must rely on himself to combat the ills and trials of life. He is restless and defiant in his outlook toward authority and appeals to its power only when he cannot do without it.”-Alexis De Tocqueville
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true
whatsoever things are honest
whatsoever things are just
whatsoever things are pure
whatsoever things are lovely
whatsoever things are of good report
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise
think on these things.
