George Floyd’s tragic death, without question, sprang from egregious and unjustified police misconduct. Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin did not protect or serve anyone, nor any noble purpose, by jamming his knee onto a non-resistant man’s carotid artery. His all-too-passive fellow officers shared in his crime. Unless you consider your own mortal stock worth less than $20 (the amount of the counterfeit bill that Floyd allegedly tried to spend), then you, too, should feel repulsed by these cops’ totalitarian display. That said, there seems to be a growing, greatly consequential misconception that self-harm is a sort of cathartic justice. While...

Listen to the two-beat sound at the very end of the clip. Reminiscent of the famous "doink-doink" from NBC's" Law & Order," no? Viewers would be forgiven for thinking that the ad airing on CNN's New Day this morning was indeed a promo for a TV crime show. Or a new version of All The President's Men. Or might it have been an anti-Trump attack ad from the DNC? It's not until the New York Times logo appears at the very end that it's seen to be a commercial for the newspaper, making the explicit commercial pitch ["the truth is...

Forget the college cheating scam. The biggest scam in America is the Democratic Party. Its platform is based on legalizing cheating. I have no idea why anyone in America should obey the law anymore. Just ignore any law you think is unfair -- just like Democrats do. Just days ago, 13 parents, including famous Hollywood actress Felicity Huffman, agreed to plead guilty in the college admissions cheating scandal. Now, don't get me wrong. I hate arrogant, rich, entitled jerks as much as the next guy -- maybe more. I went to Columbia University with hundreds of these liberals. It was...

Law & Order: SVU and its star Mariska Hargitay have cemented their places in television history. NBC has renewed Dick Wolf’s series for a record-setting 21st season, making it TV’s longest-running primetime live-action series, surpassing the previous mark of 20 seasons set by mothership series Law & Order (1990-2010) and Gunsmoke (1955-75). And the police procedural may not been done rewriting TV records books as I hear Season 21 is not currently envisioned as a final chapter. The renewal also marks a milestone for Hargitay’s Lt. Benson as the longest-running character in a primetime live-action series. Hargitay surpassed Gunsmoke‘s James...

NBC has hit pause on the next chapter in Dick Wolf‘s criminal justice franchise, indefinitely delaying the launch of Law & Order: Hate Crimes, TVLine has learned. It was last fall that the Peacock network handed a series order to the project, which was to be based on New York’s actual Hate Crimes Task Force, the second oldest bias-based task force in the U.S. Former Law & Order: SVU boss Warren Leight was slated to serve as EP/showrunner. The new Hate Crimes team was initially slated to be introduced during an episode of Law & Order: SVU this season. According...

NBC’s Law and Order: SVU has always been a reliable series to find liberal bias, whether it includes painting Christians as rape apologists or gender fluidity as “cool.” But I think we were overdue for an episode that gives us a real, honest glimpse of what the show thinks of the right. Look no further than this week's episode title “Info Wars.” The January 31 episode follows the sexual assault case of a fictional right-wing political pundit named Martha Cobb (Rhea Seehorn) at a rally on a college campus. Right off the bat, Martha is introduced giving a speech and...

Nixon Agnew 1968 (Click to Return to 1968 Page) Richard M. Nixon Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech Republican National Convention Miami Beach, Florida August 8, 1968 Mr. Chairman, delegates to this convention, my fellow Americans. Sixteen years ago I stood before this Convention to accept your nomination as the running mate of one of the greatest Americans of our time -- or of any time -- Dwight D. Eisenhower. Eight years ago, I had the highest honor of accepting your nomination for President of the United States. Tonight, I again proudly accept that nomination for President of the United States. But...

A Madison police officer was confronted by a crowd and punched after a street fight on Prairie Road Wednesday night, according to a release from Madison police. The officer stopped in the area of Prairie Road and Jacobs Way around 6:20 p.m. after spotting a large number of people in the street. He said that as he approached he saw a woman punch a man in the face, and he could see that the woman had a can of pepper spray. The officer said that as he went to arrest the woman he was surrounded by a crowd that was...

The investigation into the shooting death of Spc. Alyssa Peterson found her suicide came soon after she was reassigned for objecting to prisoner interrogation techniques but did not specifically give a reason for her action. A Flagstaff soldier who died in Iraq committed suicide after she refused to participate in interrogation techniques being practiced by her U.S. Army intelligence unit, according to a report about an Army investigation aired by a Flagstaff radio station. U.S. Army Spc. Alyssa R. Peterson, 27, died Sept. 15, 2003, in Tel Afar, an Iraqi city of about 350,000 residents in the northern part of...

Then politics took Law & Order over and the result was horrendous. Christians, right wingers, anti-abortion, pro-gun and open immigration were just a few of the story lines that rubbed more than this writer wrong.

Here is video of original Law & Order cast member Michael Moriarty giving his take on the series liberal bias...(Video)Moriarty said the show was not always as political but now the show only cares about "infuriating those basic Middle-Western heart belt Americans." Moriarty called Dick Wolf "a propaganda minister for the Obama administration."

Too crude? Too absurd? Too biased and racist against white people? Not if you are NBC and Law & Order. In the past, the writers of Law & Order and their "sister" shows like SVU have gone out on the PC limb. If you are of the white race and believe in God, then you too can be the target of Law & Order. If you believe in the right to own a firearm or say that you do not believe in homosexuality, Law & Order writers are aiming a bull's eye at you.

NBC’s “Law and Order” is in its 20th season. The economy is weak, so they have devolved to converting White House talking points into weekly shows. Last week, “Doped” was a farcical equivalent of “Damien Thorn meets Karen Silkwood.” Pharmaceutical companies and Doctors are worse than drug cartels. The killers in the previous week’s episode on such cartels were more sympathetic than the health professionals.

WASHINGTON, DC, October 26, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) -- Last Friday's episode of Law & Order on NBC, entitled "Dignity," has infuriated pro-abortionists while pleasantly surprising pro-lifers with an unexpectedly even-handed treatment of the issue of abortion.  Ripping its plot from recent headlines, "Dignity" begins with the murder of late-term abortionist Dr. Walter Benning (Matthew Boston) during a church service.  Although the episode has a disclaimer stating that the story is fictional, its initial outline closely matches the case of the late-term abortionist Dr. George Tiller, who was shot and killed in a church in Wichita, Kansas, on May 31st.  After the...

Cue those famous two tones: "doon-doon..." Justine Faeth's favorite show is "Law & Order Special Victims Unit." And the Manhattan office assistant recently used detective skills she picked up from the show to help cops catch a man accused of a string of robberies. The suspect walked into the production company where Faeth works. Police say he stole an employee's purse, an iPod and a wallet. Before leaving, he drank water and blew his nose. Faeth saved the cup and tissue. Investigators used DNA samples from the items to track down and arrest a suspect. On Thursday, Faeth appeared on...

Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau is not just a public official. He's an institution, as much a part of the landscape of New York as the gray court buildings in Foley Square. That he's not running for re-election this fall is stunning news. For 35 years he was the district attorney of Manhattan, responsible for fighting crime on many fronts. He pursued corporate thieves, mobsters and many other criminals. He presided over almost 100,000 cases. He is the boss of 500 assistant district attorneys who prosecuted some notorious criminals. Among his notable cases have been the Robert Chambers murder trial,...

From the Arkansas News Bureau in 2004: http://www.arkansasnews.com/archive/2004/07/22/News/261108.html Gov. Mike Huckabee said Wednesday that his religious background and belief in redemption played a key role in the high number of state prisoners he has pardoned or turned loose early. “I would not deny that my sense of the reality of redemption is a factor,” the former Baptist pastor said in a radio interview with KUAR in Little Rock. “And I don’t know that I can apologize for that because I would hate to think of the kind of human I would be if I thought people were beyond forgiveness and...

What happened to crime and punishment? Judicial system is too lenient, but then again crime is not out of control in Canada The Edmonton Journal Fri 29 Dec 2006, Page: A16 Section: Opinion, Byline: Lorne Gunter In the debate over what to do about crime in Canada, I side with the law-and-order types (not surprisingly), but not on every issue. The get-tough-on-crime forces overstate the amount of crime in Canada. Some even play on public fear needlessly. Meanwhile, the lenient every-boy-a-good-boy camp ignores the true extent of crime in Canada, and overplays the amount of crime elsewhere (notably the...

Harper says Liberals ‘half tough on crime' SCOTT DEVEAU Toronto Globe and Mail Thursday, October 26, 2006 The Liberals offered Thursday to fast track the passage of more than half of the Tory's tough-on-crime legislation, but Prime Minister Stephen Harper quickly dismissed the offer as evidence of the Opposition's soft stance on crime. “Half measures. That is not what they promised the Canadian people. We're doing what we promised,” Mr. Harper said at a press conference in Ottawa, where he was meeting with Mexican president-elect Felipe Calderon. The Prime Minister said the Liberals were backing off their promises to...

NEW YORK (September 26, 2006) - Chevy Chase has done a lot of impressions over the years, but now he'll channel Mel Gibson in an upcoming episode of "Law & Order." Chase will guest star as a celebrity who is pulled over for drunk driving while wearing blood-soaked clothes, and whose religious prejudice comes out after his arrest. The idea for the "ripped from the headlines" episode appears to be loosely based upon Gibson's DUI arrest in July. Chase began filming his scenes this week, NBC announced. The episode (titled "In Vino Veritas") is slated to air on Friday, November...
