Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
It did not take long for the progressive left to accuse all those who voted for Trump as being (pick one or more) racists, misogynists, homophobes, privileged, uneducated, Hitler clones and / or fascists (list not inclusive.) These progressives have staked out the moral high ground and anyone who disagrees

My dear friend Lulu has something to say about the latest attacks against Donald Trump: *** So I happened to look at Buzzfeed today, that Internet site that gives millennials a mixture of entertainment and distilled news all made in easy reading packages and animated with gifs. There were 8

As past posts show, my attitude towards Trump is that I don’t like him, but I like Hillary even less and fear her more. There are occasions, though, when I really want to vote for Trump, and the fascist attack on Trump supporters in San Jose yesterday marks one of those
Continue readingIf you haven’t read Jerome K. Jerome’s charming Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow, first published in 1886, I recommend it. It is a pleasant antidote to today’s Sturm und Drang. But if you like to be mentally perturbed, you can’t do better than to read this post. All animals
Continue readingThe Washington Times published an excellent article pointing out the hypocrisy of Apple, PayPal, and other corporations boycotting North Carolina because the state said biological males and females should use separate restrooms in public places: PayPal drew a line in the sand when North Carolina enacted a law prohibiting people from
Continue readingIt’s illuminating to have Leftist friends on Facebook. This showed up on my feed when another Leftist friend “liked” it: Both the person who originally used Facebook to pass on that tweet and the person who liked the Tweet (which is how it crossed my radar) seem oblivious to the fact
Continue readingChildren intuitively understand that the person who can cause pain is the person with the most basic, easily-accessible form of power around. No matter how many times I told my two when they were little that making someone feel happy is every bit as much a show of power as making
Continue readingAnother day, another incredible collection of articles I think you’ll like, all of which I’ve tried to present in a way that’s both interesting and brief. Yet another government lie. Is everything we think we know about the cost of living data false? And worse, is the actual cost of
Continue readingI did it again — I let my inbox get out of hand, so much so that I woke up this morning to discovery over a thousand unread emails in the email accounts for which I’m responsible. Going through them isn’t my favorite activity (too much guilt about emails I

I’m posting here a sampling of the images included in the posts. As you scroll
Continue readingI castigated the Left for racism based upon reports that Obama & Co. have told American troops to stand down when confronted with Afghan pederasty. Racism is not the only motivating factor. At a fundamental level, the Left encourages child sexuality because it decouples children from their sense of themselves individuals,
Continue readingThe news about the Obama administration’s stand-down order to American troops when they are confronted with the Afghanis’ culture of pederasty brought to mind a post I wrote almost exactly five years ago, entitled “The smug racism of the neocolonialists.” That post focused on the pass we give Muslims when they
Continue readingYou all have probably heard that an American dentist paid around $50,000 for the opportunity to kill Cecil, a well-recognized lion in a Zimbabwe nature preserve, with a bow and arrow. Legally, the problem seems to be that the people who dealt with the dentist forgot to tell him that
Continue readingNo time for chit-chat. I’ve got stuff to share: America’s values have turned upside down It’s a time-honored custom for older people to look at changes in the world since their youth and to bemoan those changes. I’d like to think I’m neither that rigid nor that old. There are
