The Convenient Death of Jeffrey Epstein

Posted by George Parry Commentary

The convenient death of accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein while in federal custody has set off a firestorm of controversy and speculation. Was it homicide or suicide? Was he murdered by others acting on behalf of his wealthy and powerful friends who might be exposed or incriminated in his upcoming trial? Was he killed by another inmate looking for street cred or acting out of a hatred for child abusers? Whether murder or suicide, how could the staff at the feds’ Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan have failed to keep such a high profile defendant from harm? According to […]

The El Paso Manifesto

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Consider this excerpt from the “manifesto” issued by the shooter who murdered 22 people in an El Paso, Texas Walmart store: “Remember: it is not cowardly to pick low hanging fruit. AKA (sic) Don’t attack heavily guarded areas to fulfll (sic) your super soldier COD [Call of Duty first person shooter video game] fantasy. Attack low security targets. Even though you might out gun a security guard or police man, they likely beat you in armor, training and numbers. Do not throw away your life on an unnecessarily dangerous target. If a target seems too hot, live to fight another day.” According to […]

My Excellent Blogging Adventure

Posted by George Parry Commentary

So last Monday I attended a dinner hosted by The American Spectator at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington, D.C.. There were approximately 30 attendees including the guest of honor, President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Other luminaries were Jeff Lord, the former lone conservative piñata on CNN who now appears on Fox News, Byron York of the Washington Examiner, John Fund of National Review, nationally syndicated political analyst Michael Barone and Bob Tyrell, the founder and publisher of The American Spectator. With the exception of me, everybody else was either a government, business or media big wig. I kept looking around the […]

The Antifa Antidote

Posted by George Parry Commentary

In the 1940s, my parents lived in a small Georgia town where my father had his dental practice. He was friends with the chief of police and on good terms with many of the patrolmen. The police station was on the route between our house and my father’s office. When he walked home from work, it was not unusual for him to stop in and share pleasantries with whoever was on duty. Dad loved to tell the story about one such visit during which one of the patrolmen expressed concern about his appearance. “Doc,” he said, “you look worried. Somethin’ […]

Media Alert

Posted by George Parry Commentary

My friends at The American Spectator published my article titled The Art and Science of Cross-Examining Mueller which is an expanded and much improved version of my previous post on the same subject. It generated a flood of emails and a great deal of interest after it was was picked up by Powerline, Real Clear Politics and Lucianne.com. Happily many readers caught and approved of my juvenile and completely tasteless reference to Deliverance at the end of the piece. The American Spectator is converting to a pay site*. Nevertheless, you may still be able to access my article on TAS’ website for […]

Having Sport with Bob Mueller

Posted by George Parry Commentary

In a desperate effort to squeeze political advantage out of the Special Counsel’s report exonerating Donald Trump and his presidential campaign of conspiring with Russia to affect the outcome of the 2016 election, Congressional Democrats have subpoenaed Robert Mueller to testify before the Oversight and Judiciary committees of the House of Representatives. They apparently believe that Mueller’s testimony will further their impeachment narrative by drawing public attention to those portions of the report interpreted by some partisans as demonstrating that President Trump obstructed the investigation of his non-conspiracy with Russia. Quite understandably, Congressional Republicans have been slapping their foreheads in […]

Media Alert – KIG in the News!

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Today my friends at The American Spectator published KIG’s post about John Dean’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee (John Dean? Seriously?) under the much better headline A Mafia Hit Man’s Assessment of John Dean subhead Jerry Nadler knows how to pick ’em. Here’s the link to the TAS article. In writing the article, I relied in part on Geoff Shepard’s excellent book The Real Watergate Scandal – Collusion, Conspiracy, and the Plot that Brought Richard Nixon Down. Geoff joined the Nixon White House directly out of Harvard Law School . He later served as Nixon’s Deputy Defense Counsel during the Watergate […]

John Dean? Seriously?

Posted by George Parry Commentary

In the running-around-with-their-hair-on-fire department, the Congressional Democrats just topped themselves with yesterday’s bizarre testimony of convicted felon John Dean before the House Judiciary Committee. Students of history may recall that Dean served in the Nixon White House as Counsel to the President and pled guilty in 1974 to obstruction of justice for his role in covering up the ties between Nixon’s Committee to Re-Elect the President and the Watergate burglary. Since then, Dean has become a CNN commentator. Under the leadership of Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D. NY), the committee is investigating whether or not President Trump obstructed justice based on […]

Graduation Day at the Army War College and KIG Goes for the Gold

Posted by George Parry Commentary

My wife has two nephews who graduated from West Point in the 1990s. The older one graduated in the top ten of his class at the Academy and devoted his military career to Army aviation. He did flight test work on helicopters, served in the Middle East and finished out his service with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne). Known as the Night Stalkers, the unit is comprised of flight crews who have undergone the rigorous special forces selection process and who are highly trained and proficient in nighttime operations. It specializes in dangerous anti-terror missions worldwide. My wife and […]

Uncle Charlie at Utah Beach

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Pictured above is my wife’s Uncle Charlie landing on Utah Beach seventy-five years ago today. He is the soldier in the right foreground. He made it off the beach and fought across France and into Germany before the war in Europe ended. Despite being in the thick of the fighting, he survived and returned home to raise a family and live in peace. Like most of his generation of war fighters, he said very little about his combat experiences. One day, however, over drinks, he quietly reflected that “D-Day in Normandy was the noisiest day of my life. I was […]

A Modest Proposal Regarding Mass Shootings

Here’s my latest in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer regarding the Virginia Beach massacre. Since many Inky readers are far left of center, I anticipate that this piece will cause many heads to explode.

[Parental advisory: some reader comments may not be suitable for children.] I want to thank the editors at the Inky for running this and my other pieces. Each time they do so, they receive […]

A Spook Predicts Trump Will Be Re-Elected and A Media Update

Posted by George Parry Commentary

In 1949 my parents moved from the small town of East Point, Georgia to a quiet, tree-lined street in the northwest section of Atlanta. There we had wonderful neighbors who became our close friends and with whom we shared life’s joys and sorrows. I could – and probably should – write a book about growing up in that neighborhood during the 1950s and 1960s. Until then, suffice it to say that, according to today’s child safety experts, I was killed or seriously maimed approximately 4,279 times before reaching adolescence. The boys on our block played with bows and arrows, knives, […]

William Barr: The Adult in the Room

Posted by George Parry Commentary

In his muddled, obfuscatory farewell remarks, Special Counsel Robert Mueller strongly suggested that, although he and his cohort of Hillary Clinton acolytes had reached no conclusion as to whether President Trump had obstructed justice, Congress should address that question by means of the impeachment “process”. Why? Because Team Mueller had not been able to “exonerate” the President. But exoneration is a non-legal standard which completely inverts and perverts our system of justice which places the burden of proof on the prosecution to prove its case. In every criminal trial across America, the judge instructs the jury that the burden of […]

Mueller Unmasks Himself

Posted by George Parry Commentary

As he departed the Justice Department, Special Counsel Robert Mueller delivered a valedictory address in which he reiterated the main points of his office’s written investigative report. In doing so, he explicitly confirmed what many of us have recognized from the beginning, i.e., that the efforts of his handpicked team of Hillary Clinton acolytes comprised first, last and always a taxpayer funded exercise in political opposition research masquerading as a criminal investigation of Donald Trump. Regarding whether or not the president had obstructed the special counsel’s investigation of possible collusion with the Russians by the Trump campaign, Mueller cited the […]

Brian Sims – the Progressive Avenger

Posted by George Parry Commentary

Pictured above is Pennsylvania State Representative Brian Sims (D. Phila.) extending a good, old fashioned Philadelphia welcome to Vice-President Mike Pence when he visited the City of Brotherly Love last year. According to the Philly Voice, Sims, who is Pennsylvania’s first openly gay legislator, joined hundreds of others who were protesting “on behalf of the more than 2000 children who have been separated from their parents at the U.S. border with Mexico…Sims — who is frequently outspoken on social media — posted a picture on Facebook of him giving the vice president the middle finger.
