No, the NFL Is Not a Hotbed of Wife and Child Beaters
Let me begin with two bits of information:
- If I made the rules, Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson would be out of the NFL and probably both of them would be doing some time for assault and child abuse.
- I really don’t care about NFL football. My sports seasons are MLB and NHL. I watch the NFL for about 2 weeks before hockey starts. Remember, I live in St. Louis, home of one of the most irrelevant NFL teams in the league. So the long-term viability of the NFL, both locally and as an institution is pretty much meaningless to me.
That said…most of us probably didn’t bat an eyelash when we heard about the Rice KO of his then-fiancee, now-wife. After all, the conventional wisdom is that the NFL is full of criminals…wife-beaters, sexual abusers, murderers, rapists, etc. And the leftists are going to remind us of this every time some sort of offensive act occurs. But is this true?
The truth of the matter is that the rate of criminality in the NFL is lower than that of the general public. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

Via Caleb Howe comes this astonishing clip of MSNBC host Alex Wagner showing some justified concern about how eugenics is still practiced even today. Amazingly, however, she seems to believe that the most important means through which eugenics is practiced today is actually important to the prevention of eugenics. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Obama uses war on ISIS to overthrow Syria’s Assad
One of the things that has intrigued me about the Obama administration’s alleged strategy to combat ISIS is the degree to which it focuses on Syria. Not only are airstrikes within Syria contemplated but another attempt will be made by the administration to arm the Syrian opposition forces. To me this seems counterintuitive. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Many Insurance Providers are Paying for Abortions under Obamacare
One of the biggest obstacles to the passage of Obamacare was the question of whether it would officially fund abortion. This issue was only resolved, in a manner of speaking, when President Obama signed an executive order barring federal funds from being used to fund abortion, but many of us on the Right knew this would not be the end of it. After all, Barack Obama is the most radically pro-abortion President in our nation’s history. Now we find our suspicions confirmed. A Government Accountability Office report confirms that employers are ignoring Obamacare’s rules concerning abortion and funding it anyways. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
IRS Has 99 Problems But the Church Ain’t One
The scandal plagued Obama Administration IRS admits that it has targeted 99 churches for additional scrutiny after settling a lawsuit with the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF).
The IRS settlement with the angry atheist group FFRF is shrouded in secrecy, but the little we do know is enough to raise significant suspicion.
Last month Representative Scott Garrett (NJ-5) led a congressional letter demanding answers from the IRS about the settlement.
Last week the IRS responded – well sort of. The IRS dodged almost every one of Congress’s questions, hiding behind the Obama Justice Department’s handling of the case. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
