Get Out Of The Zone

Faced with the attempted armed robbery of the AutoZone store where he worked, Air Force veteran Devin McLean ran to his truck, retrieved his firearm and sent the would-be assailant scrambling for cover. Instead of accolades for bravery, he received a pink slip for violating corporate policy.

Before The Body Goes Cold

While Jovan Belcher’s final act appalls me, that revulsion is nothing compared to how I feel about the ghouls who jumped on the situation in order to push political ideologies. Writing for FOX Sports, Jason Whitlock managed to turn the orphaning of a 3-month-old into a bizarre rant against the 2nd Amendment.

The Reason For The Season

Thanksgiving, traditionally associated with a sort of idyllic multicultural fairy tale, is now regarded by many college professors, vegan hippies and face-in-the-crowd losers as an ersatz celebration of genocide and religious repression.

It Isn’t Racist If It’s Right

U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice lied repeatedly about the source and progression of the murders of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya. Democratic attempts to besmirch her critics with the venerable smear of racism are unremarkable, absolutely stupid and somewhat offensive.
