The public doesn't know much of anything because Mr. Engineer claims amnesia. The train wasn't remotely controlled. Acceleration comes from the hand of the engineer. The only person who benefits from this selective memory episode happens to be the person responsible for the train's safe...

Mr, Engineer will be pressed to explain why the train under his control was going 106mph in a zone rated at 50mph. Several of his passengers died in this accident. Mr. Engineer was at the helm, he will be expected to explain his conduct in the moments leading up to the crash. Maybe, if he...

Your speculation makes as much sense as most of what the media is offering. There are some oddball conspiracies popping up around this incident. Getting the actual facts of how and why this crash happened will squelch the silly stuff. However, the engineer is going to have to do better than...

The train wreck outside of Philadelphia last Tuesday remains a puzzle. The 32 year-old engineer was familiar with the route. Why had the train accelerated in the moments approaching the curve? It's going to be interesting to learn the facts of this deadly crash.

If one wants to experience adversarial relations with cops, travel through Mexico. US cops generally are as well behaved as Boy Scouts.

It counts if you were having expeditious thoughts at the moment of conception.

If there are , for example, one million interactions per day in the US between police and civilians, a small number of these interactions will go wrong. Same is true in interactions between cabbies and their fares, pizza delivery personnel getting robbed, a restaurant manager closing shop late...

Are expediters becoming extinct? No. I dare say most of us have successfully reproduced.

This act of kindness happened to be overheard: http://www.wkyt.com/wymt/home/headlines/Kentucky-State-Troopers-good-deed-goes-viral--303580991.html

Simply because a law exists doesn't mean it is fair, moral, correct, just, good or even necessary. A law exists, at least in democracies, because it enjoyed majority support among voting legislators at the moment of its passage, and in most cases was signed into law by the chief executive...

Compliance is still the better choice. There are approximately 1.6 millions law enforcement officers in the United States. Using an example of 1 million interactions per day between police and civilians, almost all interactions go without a violent exchange. Violence is the exception, but it...

Noncompliance leads to all kinds of difficulties. CDL truckdrivers know full well they must comply with law enforcement at many levels. An attitude of cooperation works wonders. Likewise, people on the streets know full well they must comply with requests from police. It is highly unlikely...

Plenty of minority cops get assaulted or killed in the line of duty. Not much is heard about this in the press. The liberal media would have us believe there is a black holocaust going on in the United States. The real story should be the vicious cop-haters and the harm they unleash on society.

What I learned from reading two or three short paragraphs is that Wall Street types, at least a few of them, like Ms. Rice. Given she has no legislative record to evaluate, many conservatives would worry she just might be Colin Powell in a dress. Powell was never much of a conservative. He...

Placing the yoke of victimhood on ethnic minorities is a favored, but cruel, tactic of liberals in the United States. It's the patronizing equivalent of 'you poor little thing" while patting minorities on the head and reassuring them that do-gooders such as Rev. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson or...

In normal times, this heroic cop would be celebrated as a role model who displayed extraordinary courage and skill in stopping the massacre of civilians. Much like the sergeant-at-arms who stopped the gunman who was shooting inside the Canadian parliament several months ago. We have strayed...

Every Memorial Day weekend, thousands of black motorcycle riders descend on Myrtle Beach, SC. It used to be called Black Bikers Week. Now, it's just called Bikers Week. They come from as far away as Michigan and Texas to enjoy the scenery and atmosphere. Lots of beautiful bikes. Lots of...

It would be a day to dread. There are no winners when reason fails.

Thankfully, the terrorists didn't succeed in Garland or we would be having a very different conversation. Imagine the uncontrollable bloodlust which would have sprung forward if the two shooters had made their way inside the arena and shot 200 Americans to death. Sooner or later, some group or...

Claiming someone's actions are provocative is very subjective and lies in the eye of the beholder. Do you think a rapist can escape responsibility for his actions by claiming his victim was dressed provocatively and therefore, the victim was asking for it? Being provoked or offended is part of...
