One of the young women convicted in the infamous “Slender Man” stabbing of her classmate in 2014 is back in the news after being apprehended by police in Wisconsin. Morgan Geyser was 12 when she and her friend Anissa Weier took another girl, Payton Leutner, into the woods in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and tried to kill her to please “Slender Man,” a fictional character that became popular online. After pleading guilty to first-degree intentional homicide, the Post Millennial reports she explained her actions through mental illness. In January, The Mirror reported that Geyser was granted a conditional release from Winnebago Mental Health Institute, where she had been kept since the crime.

The death of William F. Buckley, Jr. on February 27, 2008, deprived the modern American conservative movement of its founder, for Buckley was preeminently the founding statesman of the movement that gained its political expression first in Barry Goldwater and then Ronald Reagan. When Buckley founded National Review in 1955 at the age of 29, he lit the fire that sparked the movement. Yesterday was the centennial anniversary of his birth.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg was banned from Venice for 48 hours and fined £132 after she and fellow Extinction Rebellion activists dyed the Grand Canal green in a protest over the weekend. Thirty-five other activists received the same punishment.

The group also displayed a banner reading “Stop Ecocide” from the Rialto Bridge and staged a flash-mob in which protesters, dressed in red with veils over their faces, walked slowly through crowds of tourists.

California gubernatorial candidate and Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-14) claims that military members have privately confided in him plans to serve as a "check" to any orders issued by President Trump, suggesting they could defy their superiors. The idea that service members are secretly huddling with a congressman who can't bench press above 135 and whose top athletic feat was having to retire from soccer after breaking both of his thumbs is specious at best. That said, his remarks are an attempt to keep the sedition train rolling in the wake of a video from six Democratic lawmakers encouraging military members to defy orders from their superiors.

At least three times a week — and sometimes more — a big story will come out of New York about an awful crime that was committed against an innocent by a criminal who, too often, shouldn't have been walking the streets anyway due to a rap sheet as long as a CVS receipt. Even just scrolling down the front page of RedState, you can see this story published on Monday that reported that someone stabbed someone else on the New York subway because a person asked them not to talk on their cell phone so loudly. Charming city. And it's about to get even better, because incoming New York
