“Get me on the stage and get your popcorn ready.” — Chris Christie
Don’t sell Chris Christie short
Peggy Noonan calls him “a wholly undervalued executive talent.”
“People forget what a good governor he was …. In eight years (2010-18) in deep blue New Jersey he capped property taxes, used the line-item veto to limit spending, increased school funding, got more charter schools, and got the state through the true disaster of superstorm Sandy.
“… He won public-employee pension reform … despite huge and intense public union opposition.”
And reformed Camden police: “Ten years later murder is down 63%, shootings down 68%, and robbery down 70%. No violence after George Floyd.”

MSNBC banned from Rittenhouse trial
Jury tampering! Judge Bruce Schroeder has banned MSNBC from the Kenosha County Courthouse following an incident where an employee allegedly followed the bus with the jurors. Law professor Jonathan Turley comments, “It is difficult to express how moronic such a … Continue reading
Got riots! Shut them down, fast!
Even Tony Evers is wising up! Forget that Ivy League nonsense recommending Madison police fade into the woodwork during the next “mostly peaceful protest.” (See: “Madison encourages more Rittenhouses.“) Even Wisconsin’s one-term governor can learn from his mistakes. We turn … Continue reading
Kenosha County, we are so provoked
Judged by 12, not carried by 6! We have a winner: “Only way Kyle Rittenhouse is found guilty is if the jury votes by mail.” Runner-up: “Rittenhouse provoked bloodshed in Kenosha” — prosecution attorney. Yeah, and Fort Sumter provoked the … Continue reading
