The money line was six paragraphs down: Prosecutors are hopeful many will be incentivized to plead to help manage the crush of cases. “The crush of cases”? Yup, you guessed it, this is a reference to the ridiculous prosecution of the Capitol kerfufflers, the out-of-control fraternity keg party in the Capitol on January 6, 2021. […]
We have previously noted the hypocrisy of the Lexington Herald-Leader in refusing to publish the mugshot of Brent Dyer Kelty, a man previously convicted of “several prior felonies in Fayette County since 2010,” in their story about him being indicted for the murder of an infant, but publishing the photo of Gracyn Dawn Courtright, one […]
We have previously noted the tremendous, tremendous! seriousness of the January 6th ‘insurrection’ in our nation’s capital, what I have frequently called the Capitol kerfuffle. And now we see the draconian sentence to which Thomas and Lori Vinson were subjected following their guilty plea three months ago: Kentucky couple who were part of mob that […]
As we noted Monday, Dawn Bancroft, 59, of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, was going to plead guilty to a single misdemeanor charge of Parading, Demonstrating, or Picketing in a Capitol Building, the penalty for which is a maximum of six months in jail and a fine of $5,000.[1]40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(G). A Doylestown woman who said she […]
I have long called the January 6th ‘insurrection’ what I believe it to be, the Capitol kerfuffle. On Monday, Gary Edwards, 68, of Churchville in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty to a single count of “parading, demonstrating, or picketing in the Capitol,” 40 U.S.C. § 5104(e)(2)(G) a charge which could result in probation or a […]
The seriousness of the Capitol kerfuffle is revealed in the fact that the feds are charging most with just misdemeanors. The bias of the Lexington Herald-Leader is revealed in how they played up the story. Fired Kentucky nurse, husband plead guilty in Capitol riot case. Sentencing next.

On Christmas Day of 1868, President Andrew Johnson, who was not re-elected after having failed to be re-nominated, issued a blanket pardon for all remaining Confederate officeholders. An earlier pardon, in July, covered all Confederates who were not already under indictment, meaning that only Confederate President Jefferson Davis, and a few others, faced any possibility […]
I did something I rarely do: I watched CNN and MSNBC this Wednesday morning, to see the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth among the credentialed media and their Usual Suspect panelists. MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough blamed misogyny among black and Hispanic men, and the Reverend Al Sharpton — if you can remember how Rush […]
It should have been obvious that bringing in New York Attorney General Letitia James, who has been trying to persecute former President Donald Trump, was a hugely political move to have at what was supposed to be a promotion ceremony for the Fire Department of New York City, FDNY. That some of the rank-and-file firefighters […]
