By Nicholas Stix Part I: Ray Cleere Seizes an Opportunity This is the story of Richard Jewell, the hero who saved countless lives, and of Ray Cleere, the first of many heels who sought to railroad him for another man’s crime.   Richard Jewell, 33, a former law enforcement officer, fits the profile of the lone bomber.   Atlanta Journal-Constitution,... »

As the chief deputy U.S. marshal explained to the interviewer, real-world fugitive apprehension has nothing in common with the movie version. Remember the big set piece in the movie The Fugitive (1993), when in a fiery crash in Illinois, Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford), wrongly convicted for his wife’s murder, escapes from the train meant... »

By Nicholas Stix The MSM is finally starting, ever so modestly, to report on Tennessee’s Knoxville Horror, even as far from the crime scene as Denver! (A tip o’ the hat to Modern Tribalist.) On May 17, Knox County Criminal Court Judge Richard Baumgartner announced that the four defendants charged with having kidnapped, robbed, gang-raped, murdered,... »

By Nicholas Stix On May 22, the allegedly conservative New York Sun published a guest op-ed column by John Leo, “The Politics of News,” on the racial censorship imposed by the MSM on the Knoxville Horror story of the carjacking-robbery-kidnapping-torture-gang rape-murder-corpse desecrations of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom. But in a move that may yet... »

Yesterday, Michelle Malkin posted a video on the Knoxville Horror, about the carjacking-kidnapping-robbery-gang rape-sodomy-murder of Channon Christian, 21, and her boyfriend, Christopher Newsom, 23, in Knoxville, Tennessee. Letalvis Cobbins, 24, his brother Lemaricus Davidson, 25, George Thomas, 24, and Cobbins’ girlfriend, Vanessa Coleman, 18, have been charged with murder, rape (anal, in Newsom’s case;... »

They want your job, your property, and your country. Last Tuesday, Americans again saw thousands (but at least this time, not millions) of criminals take to the streets, demanding recognition of their “right” to continue committing crimes. The criminals were supposedly also “boycotting America.” I am speaking, of course, of illegal immigrants, aka undocumented immigrants, aka... »

John Belushi is dead! John Belushi lives! Twenty-five years after John Belushi (1949-1982) died, culminating a four-day binge in which he drank enough booze, snorted enough coke, and had enough heroin-cocaine “speedballs” to kill a herd of elephants, all too many writers still can’t think straight about him. During the last two-to-three years of his life,... »

What Did the AP Know, and When Did It Know It? Imagine you were a member of a group being targeted by a serial rapist, but the media refused to provide you with this potentially life-saving information, which in the age of AIDS and resistant forms of venereal disease, could protect you from having your... »

When I got the FNC Alert below in my e-mail box at 4:44 p.m. today, I thought it had to be a joke. But sure enough, at Fox News at 5 p.m., it was the headline at the top of the page, not yet linked to any stories. I checked the calendar; it isn’t... »

Forty-three years ago yesterday, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States of America, was felled in Dallas by Lee Harvey Oswald, a communist, dishonorably discharged, ex-marine. For most of my life, November 22 was always commemorated as one of the darkest days in American history. In recent years, such commemoration seems to... »

Geniuses George W. Bush and Karl Rove had the attitude that their Republican and conservative base (aka “the suckers”) had no choice but to vote GOP. Such arrogance resulted in Bush and Rove having a rude, 1992-style awakening. Immediately after the 2004 election, many Republicans smugly predicted that the GOP would rule – as in,... »

The four men went out hunting that night. But their prey was human. White humans, to be exact. Only they didn’t consider whites human, but rather “grafted snakes,” “white devils,” and “blue-eyed devils.”They grabbed three children, and tried to get them into their van, but the resourceful kids ran away. The children were Michele Denise... »

On October 5, Andrea Clemons, who identified herself as a Los Angeles high school science teacher, published “A Daughter of the American Revolution Speaks Out Against Bush.” (http://www.intellectualconservative.com/a-daughter-of-the-american-revolution-speaks-out-against-bush/) Quoting from the Declaration of Independence, Clemons demanded that President George W. Bush be removed from office, and suggested that violent means be employed. My response follows. At first... »

After all-pro Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens’ reported suicide attempt Tuesday night, don’t be surprised if we hear of a diagnosis of bipolar disorder (aka manic-depression) in his case. Owens has long been known to be a maniac; indeed, he has gotten much more press over the years for his obsessively attention-seeking acting out... »

When New York Mets ace Pedro Martinez came out of tonight’s game in Pittsburgh after only three innings and 68 pitches, and with his team losing 4-0, he sat down at the end of the dugout bench and held his face in his hands, his shoulders shaking. “Is he crying?” blurted out Mets announcer and... »

At least one of the questions on the minds of people following the Doris Phillips kidnapping-murder has been answered: The suspect in Mrs. Phillips’ murder was not an illegal, or even an amnestied, formerly illegal immigrant. On late Tuesday afternoon, Lt. Clint Tims of the Ellis County (TX) Sheriff’s Department told this reporter that suspect... »

In a very quiet TV ad that has been running in the New York market, people silently show where they were on 911, when they heard the news. A woman sitting on her bed leans over slightly; a man stands in what looks to be an empty firehouse common room; another man on a... »

Reporters Brian Thevenot, Gordon Russell, Jeff Duncan and Gwen Filosa; managing editors, news, Peter Kovacs and Dan Shea; and editor Jim Amoss, are the newest winners of the Duranty-Blair Award for Journalistic Infamy. The award’s previous winner was former CBS News producer Mary Mapes, who engineered what became known as the “Memogate” (aka Rathergate)... »
