Chicago-based exoneration specialist Kathleen Zellner's got it. Her record speaks for itself. Over the past two decades, she has righted more wrongful convictions than any private attorney in America. What's her secret?

Say “No” to Nanny Bloomberg by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2018 No matter how politically fractured the nation may seem, I believe that liberty-loving citizens of all ideologies can unite and agree: Billionaire Nanny Michael Bloomberg — the soda-taxing, gun-grabbing, snack-attacking control freak — should keep his nose out of our lives and out of the 2020 presidential race. On the eve of the midterms, the former New York City mayor dumped $5 million into a self-serving ad bashin...

Yes, Unvetted Illegal Caravans Threaten Public Health by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2018 We live in bizarro times. Suddenly, it is controversial to state obvious, neon-bright truths. This week, it has become newsworthy to observe that illegal border-crossers who circumvent required medical screenings are a threat to America's public health and safety. Just look at these hyperventilating headlines and tweets. From Newsweek, which is supposed to, you know, report actual news of ...

A friend sent me this last night amid all the chaos and strife of the past week. Good medicine:       

Anthrax terror mailings, NPR, and the Blame Righty crowd: A history lesson Remember when @NPR baselessly smeared and blamed the Traditional Values Coalition for the 2001 anthrax mailings? I do. The Blame Righty crowd never learns and thrives on public amnesia ==> https://t.co/tR0BuEFZLL — Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) October 25, 2018 Democrats and CNN executives have wasted no time blaming President Trump, Republicans, and conservative media for the mail bombs or bomb-like devices rec...

Sinking Sleaze-Bob Menendez by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2018 Sinking SleazeBob Menendez The metaphors don't get any better (or worse) than this: A van carrying Hillary Clinton, fresh from throwing her #MeToo sisters under the bus this weekend, crashed into a parking garage pillar on the way to a New Jersey campaign fundraiser Tuesday for beleaguered Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez. At her side was Huma Abedin, ex-wife of convicted serial sexter and underage girl stalker, ex-Dem...

The most important movie you've never heard of by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2018 It's here. “Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer” debuts in theaters nationwide on Oct. 12. I do believe this groundbreaking film by indie producers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney is the most important movie in America right now — a true-life saga of good vs. evil, deadly medical malpractice, systemic government malfeasance and cultural apathy toward the most vulnerable member...

Investigate the Senate Democrat wrecking machine by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2018 How did we get here? The Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination circus didn't happen by accident. The emergence of incredible — and by “incredible,” I mean the literal Merriam-Webster definition of “too extraordinary and improbable to be believed” — accusers in the 11th hour was no mistake. It is my contention that this grand unearth-and-destroy spectacle was planned, coordinated and facilitated by...

Stop Google's kiddie data predators by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2018 No consent. No disclosure. No escape. For legions of unwitting students and teachers across the country, this is the dangerous, de facto data policy Google has imposed over their school districts. An estimated 80 million students and teachers are now signed up for free “G Suite for Education” accounts (formerly known as Google Apps for Education); more than 25 million students and teachers now use Google Ch...

“Believe Women” is perilous baloney by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2018 I have a message for virtue-signaling men who've rushed to embrace #MeToo operatives hurling uncorroborated sexual assault allegations into the chaotic court of public opinion. Stuff it. Your blanket “Believe Women” bloviations are moral and intellectual abominations that insult every human being of sound mind and soul. A certain class of never Trump-harumphers are leading the charge on behalf of Supreme Co...

The Post-9/11 Cycle of Cynicism: Remember. Forget. Repeat. by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2018 Remember. Forget. Repeat. For 17 years, America has engaged in a collective ritual every Sept. 11: Hang flags, light candles, bow heads and make vows to “Never forget.” Then, every Sept. 12, it's back to business as usual: See something, do nothing. Did you remember that five of the 9/11 hijackers — Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi, Hani Hanjour, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Satam al-Suqami — carr...

I wrote this column ten years ago on the 2nd anniversary of the 9/11 jihadi attacks. What has changed? *** Spitting on their graves by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate 9/10/03 Across the nation, public officials will strike somber poses and shed television-friendly tears and bow their blow-dried heads in memory of the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks. They'll hold hands, light candles, and pass around a plateful of platitudes: “Never forget,” they'll intone. “Let's roll,” they'll...

Death be not loud by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2018 Question: What is more cringe-inducing than a celebrity funeral? Answer: Two back-to-back celebrity funerals. The ghoulish twin spectacles last week memorializing Aretha Franklin and John McCain brought out the worst in family, friends and frenemies. No matter your partisan affiliation, these vulgar exercises in self-indulgence should serve as object lessons on how not to depart with dignity. There was the nation's most infa...

The Left's Long War on Conservative Free Speech by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2018 In the competition of ideas, you can't win the game if you're not on the playing field. That's why Silicon Valley bigwigs' stubborn refusal to put business above their own personal partisan biases doesn't just rankle. It reeks. Equal access to social media is not just about sharing food pics, pet videos, makeup tutorials and travelogues. It's about ensuring the ability to disseminate and distrib...

Oklahoma's wretched record on wrongful convictions by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2018 “Frontier justice” costs too many citizens of all races, creeds, and backgrounds their freedom and their lives. In the old days of the Wild West, vigilantes worked outside the judicial system to punish rivals regardless of their guilt or innocence. Today, outlaws operate inside the bureaucracy to secure criminal convictions at all costs. Oklahoma — the notorious home of “Hang ‘Em High” execut...

Free Valentino Dixon by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2018 “If it wasn't for my artwork and God, there's no way we'd be having this conversation right now.” I'm in Colorado on a three-way phone call with Valentino Dixon, inmate No. 91B1615 at New York's Wende Correctional Facility, and his 27-year-old daughter, Tina Dixon, a first-grade teacher in Ohio. Faith, family and drawing — golf courses, jazz musicians, landscapes — have kept him alive and sane behind bars. It has been a l...

Shared wisdom on a silver anniversary by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2018 To commemorate my 25th wedding anniversary this week to my husband, Jesse, I asked readers on Facebook to share their own secrets to a long happy marriage. In short, the crowdsourced recipe for marital endurance includes faith, forgiveness, romance, kindness, selflessness and a healthy dose of humor. A union built to last begins with a promise and persists through compromise and commitment. It is about ke...

Ms. Diversity-ConArtista: Boston University's fake-o-nomics darling by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2018 It costs a pretty penny to earn a diploma in stupid. The annual list price to attend Boston University — including tuition, fees, room and board — currently rounds out to $70,000. To acquire a degree in economics from this tony institution of higher learning, an undergrad must complete courses in calculus, microeconomic and macroeconomic analysis, empirical economics, statist...

Jahi's life mattered by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2018 Amid all the raging political headlines and hyperventilating tweets of the Summer of Resistance, a searing ember of news stopped me in my tracks this week. Jahi McMath has passed away. I never had a chance to meet the young California teen, but her fight for life gripped me three years ago and was never far from my mind or heart — especially as my own daughter, the same age as Jahi, battled her own health crisis. Do you...
