I am leaving New York City for Florida. I never thought I would

It’s with some sadness and a lot of anger that I feel our family now needs to leave the city we’ve loved for so long. We’re going to Florida, a state we’ve come to regard as the beacon of freedom in...

Base of Manhattan Bridge, yelling at "comrades" blocking the roadway. Am I sorry for coming in all hot? Maybe a little. These folks, despite cockamamie factoids, were way nicer than PDX protesters, incl. a sweet girl who later told me why she feels what she's doing is important

It’s all-danger, all-the-time out here, one difference I see being: I have never felt in danger, not when activists stole my phone, or roughed me up, or said they had eyes on me, or when in the past I’ve gotten death threats.

On the porch, candlelight only, light cocktailing. Daughter and husband have Pandora on 70s classic. Her dad, weeks left with the lung cancer, dips his head to the beat, taps a toe; I run my fingers over his back. People say these last days can be magnificent. Believe them

100%. This is not unlike the news coverage from Portland, where reporters see with their own eyes people lighting fires and say, "Yeah but it couldn't have burned down the building." What do you think the next step is? God damnit, do your fucking jobs

These are the people who will hang around, untethered to something better to do. Maybe the dude that beat down the reporter thought he was being a big man. I seriously would prefer they keep LARPing than thinking, ah, I know! I'll beat up women, I'll build a bomb in a basement

Is this what qualifies as integrity in journalism in your world, or even the way a grown-up expresses opinion? Did you listen to the piece? What did you find "funny" about it? Do you see a correlation between being flip and cruel and incurious and a decline in trust in the media?

Portland activists show us, for the 4009th time, that they only know how to destroy, never build. Kids, go write your own book, I promise you it will be more satisfying!

Antifa have forced Powell's to close their store today and employees have evacuated the customers inside out the back door. They're protesting them selling Andy Ngo's book on their website. They announced earlier they wouldn't put it on the shelves.

Is it the case that journalists at established and independent outlets put old pictures of me online, citing how my work puts people in danger (or that I’m a hack)? Sure. The same claim was recently made by an editor, who said my reporting jeopardized his reporter.

You may have noticed I have not linked certain details here. I try to keep the work on point, and unless I’m reporting a story and citing facts, I don’t see the mileage in plastering people’s photos online.
