  • Biden is virtue signaling a political prosecution of the 4 George Floyd cops

    Before Chauvin is even sentenced! In our system of jurisprudence, even Mafia dons are entitled to a fair trial. The measure of true justice is taken in the difficult cases; have we preserved the rights of unpopular defendants? No Captain Dreyfus sham trials. No Chicago Seven railroad jobs. Even Timothy McVeigh had rights. For that…

  • Madison schools: quit teaching racism

    Sorry we got caught Have you read a less sincere “apology” than that uttered by Madison WI public schools for its discussion groups segregated by race like some Mississippi Burning bus station? “This message did not convey our intention in a manner that supports our core values.

Yet … Madison city government has itself tied up in knots with committees studying the issue to death…

  • Derek Chauvin gets the death sentence

    Bad cop, coerced verdicts We cannot say the verdict of guilty on all three counts in the George Floyd trial today is unwarranted. It’s certainly not surprising. But it may be as political as it is judicial.  Every state writes its own criminal statutes. Conviction on second-degree murder feels like a stretch. Officer Derek Chauvin…
