A US Navy Officer has committed suicide over a no drug drug bust. A U.S. Navy officer jumped to his death at Manila’s airport after he was arrested with what was thought to be cocaine, Philippine officials said Tuesday, but tests later showed the white powder wasn’t an illegal drug. Lt. Cmdr. Scintar Buenviaje Mejia…

It looks like a number of Republican aspirants to the Republican nomination for President have stumbled in December. Mike Huckabee is emblematic of the stumblers. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee didn’t have an easy December, either. Writing about the much-debated proposal to “cap and trade” greenhouse gas emissions, Huckabee said, “I never did support and…

Pat Robertson thinks the war on marijuana is bad for family values. I have been saying that for decades. I have been posting this link often: Demographics. It runs down what mass incarceration does to family values. BTW Pat says he is “not exactly for the use of drugs”. I’d love to find what exactly…

Southern Ohio is in the midst of a public health emergency. There is a serious outbreak of pills in the area. Nearly one in 10 babies were born addicted to drugs last year in southern Ohio’s Scioto County. Rehab admissions for prescription painkiller addictions were five times the national average. In a rare step, the…

The Missoulian reports on a marijuana case in Montana that went bad for the prosecution. They couldn’t seat a jury. A funny thing happened on the way to a trial in Missoula County District Court last week. Jurors – well, potential jurors – staged a revolt. They took the law into their own hands, as…

David Freddoso at The Examiner thinks that a story claiming that Wikileaks is a government plot is a tin foil hat theory. I’m not so sure. Document dumps with lots of verifiable facts plus a few ringers is a standard and very old way to plant false information where it will do some good (the…

There is a prison strike going on in Georgia (the American one). Inmates at six major prisons in the state of Georgia have begun a strong yet peaceful protest against inhumane conditions in the facilities in which they live. The protest is unique because it represents a coalition of Black, Brown and White inmates, jumping…

I just came across an interesting book at Amazon: Sex Machines: Photographs and Interviews It is about the inventiveness of Americans when it comes to sex. Or to put it it in a somewhat more social context: men designing power tools for women. From the product description: Through astonishing images and the surprisingly touching words…

Getting this kind of finger is a good thing. The results of numeracy and literacy tests for seven-year-old children can be predicted by measuring the length of their fingers, shows new research. In a study to be published in the British Journal of Psychology, scientists compared the finger lengths of 75 children with their Standardised…

The first mate says that if you want to get the other 75% off you have to do it yourself. 25% Off Women’s Intimate Apparel My mate also notes that the equipment being sold at the above link is not particularly stylish. From a man’s point of view I must say that after looking at…

S.M. (what a great set of initials) McCain is blogging about a blogger busted for incest. Since it is a political hit piece you know how it runs. The miscreant is a left wing blogger who was a big Obama supporter. It is just a matter of time (human nature being what it is) until…

The man’s sex obsession is on view for all to see. My kinda guy. The book: Lube Jobs: A Woman’s Guide to Great Maintenance Sex If you buy the book from the above link it is almost $2 cheaper than the Instapundit link. I wonder why? And if I use this link the price is…

Punishing sinners. A thankless pass time. A LOT of money in it though. According to Judeo/Christian philosophy punishing sinners is reserved for the Maker. Punishing disturbers of the peace is allowed. Where our “religious” friends go off the rails is in conflating the two. Vice may be unseemly. It is not crime. Vice is to…

I would like to thank the Japanese and Germans for starting WW2. Without the war my mother would not have met my father and I would probably be some one else. If I was anyone at all. On Dec 7th, 1941 my Dad (God rest his soul) was in the Coast Guard. Not long after…

R.S. McCain is looking at the Jew hating faction of the Democrat Party. And like any good reporter he picks a particularly ugly example for our entertainment and enlightenment. But history intrudes. Nazi Germany is now history. And so is the interregnum it brought to Jew hating. Jew hating in America peaked in 1944. It…

I was reading Beyond The Nanny State which was discussing the TSA and other outrages and came across this comment: I’m not even in a position to go flying, but I must say, why is each and every frequent flyer being treated like a drug-runner in a car in Jersey You don’t get it do…

The Best Dead version of Good Lovin I’ve heard on YouTube. Cross Posted at Classical Values

I love discussing the wedge issues between libertarian Republicans and Christian Conservatives. Evidently it is a subject that interests Instapundit who sent me to Dana Loesch. Who is hot on the subject. Since they brought It up I’m feeling a few words coming on. First a redefinition of sorts: Uh it is not Christians vs…

It is rich, but Raich has come back to haunt those hoping for a legal answer to Obama Care. Just as I predicted in Letter to a Friend. Reason Magazine has the news. According to a federal judge in Virginia, ObamaCare’s individual mandate to purchase health insurance is constitutional under the Commerce Clause because, under…

I was over visiting Stacy McCain’s thanks to Instapundit where there was a discussion going on about a Muslim gang that raped white women and girls – some as young as 12 – in the UK. So of course the question of culture comes up. And of course the decline in morals in the West.…
