Mamdani Plays The Victim – The Hugh Hewitt Show
So, NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani tried to play the victim over the weekend because his aunt (in a hajib) was viewed suspiciously in the aftermath of 9-11 in New York. Was she arrested, tried, beaten or otherwise actually persecuted? …
Freedom In The Press – The Hugh Hewitt Show
As I read through the headlines this morning, most of them once again proclaiming the latest Trumpian outrage that wasn’t actually that outrageous, I thought of what I wrote yesterday, “But Trump is doing it so it must be wrong!” I grew…
Hatred Spinning Out Of Control
Two things I love to do on Saturday – a round up of stories I did not cover during the week and make fun of California. I am not sure I can make it funny this week – things are taking very ugly turns. We’ll start light but we will not be able…
What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits
The headline here is an homage to one of the beloved albums of my younger days by the Doobie Brothers – back when albums were albums, on vinyl. I wish I could herein wax eloquent about the days sitting in a room, queueing up records, spinning…

The Great Catharsis – The Hugh Hewitt Show
Precisely what was the #NOKINGS protest all about? Yes, people were very upset, but it made little to know sense really. You can’t quite put your finger on what they were so upset about. Oh sure, they had lots of things to talk about, but it…
In The Face Of Uncertainty
The article linked here is about the swine flu of 2009 as a “dry run” for the covid lockdowns. It is not entirely unreasonable, while at the same time being a bit too conspiratorial and overwrought. Nonetheless, it contains one of the greatest…
Mischief In A Headline – The Hugh Hewitt Show
This: Trump administration is on track to cut 1 in 3 EPA staffers by the end of 2025, slashing agency’s ability to keep pollution out of air and water So much wrong in so few words. First, it ceases to be reporting when the section after the…
