Hate crimes are a hot topic in the Trump era. Here’s a piece I wrote 19 years ago that was published in the Washington Times and (probably) syndicated by Knight Ridder News Service. The government can never commit a “hate crime” against private citizens because federal agents are almost always presumed to have good intentions […]
Following up on the tribute to my Aunt Mary after her death early last month (reposted below), here are some other photos of her, especially from her early years in Pennsylvania. Mary cornered the market on cuteness in the 1930s. I used a special scanning setting and then Photoshopped the 1930s and 1940s photos. (Here’s […]

Barr championed immunity for Lon Horiuchi, the FBI agent who gunned down Vicki Weaver in her cabin […]

Brian has a new book – 50 Stories: 50 Years in Radio – which I heartily recommend. […]

Thanks to Natalie Fawn Danelishen, Bryan Baucom, Mike Maharrey, and Frank Monaco for making some of these JPEGs, and thanks to Canva.com for the software for […]
Former FBI chief James Comey told a congressional committee last Friday: “Anybody that thinks we were on team Clinton trying to cut her a break is smoking something.” But the Justice Department Inspector General report proved that Comey and his FBI colleagues kowtowed shamelessly to the Clinton machine. The FBI’s perversion of justice in the […]
