Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
If Bill Clinton and Al Gore couldn’t do it, then no one can. A Leftist Facebook friend posted an article from The Hill with a lede saying that Donald Trump “floats rolling back food safety regulations.” The implication, obviously, is that in Trump’s America, we’re all going to die from

The migraine is fading, helped by a surprise three-hour nap, and my energy is returning. Yay!!! Now I can blog: Was losing good for Ted Cruz? I was really in it to win it for Ted Cruz. I continue to think he is the most principled conservative in American politics.

This post’s title, of course, is facetious. Dennis Prager is entirely unaware of my blog (and, no, I’m not complaining about that fact). I have noticed over the years, though, that Prager will often write a post that says what I had earlier blogged about, although he always says it better
Continue readingIt appears that Ted Cruz still has a few tricks up his sleeve, not to get into the White House in 2017, but to force Donald Trump to sign onto a conservative agenda: Senator Ted Cruz’s supporters are mounting an effort to seize control of the Republican platform and the
Continue readingI found this poster on the Facebook page of a hardcore Progressive. The Leftists know what’s really at stake in this election. So should we: While I don’t necessarily expect Trump to nominate conservative or even good judges, I know that Hillary or Bernie will pick hardcore Leftist judges who
Continue readingHaving thought about it a lot, I’m about to commit what many will believe is heresy: I believe conservatives should suck it up and vote for Trump so as to avoid a hard Left presidency. Trying to save the Republican party at this juncture is an intellectual and practical dead-end,

My take on the decision to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 in place of Andrew Jackson? I find all this change and revisionism both silly and expensive but, having said that, here’s my position: They’re replacing the racist, slave-supporting, Indian-killing founder of the Democrat party with a gun-toting, Republican black

In the old days, when a political candidate had a good campaign commercial, s/he would spend money to get it on TV. Then came DVRs, which allow people to skip commercials (I know that I haven’t watched one on television in at least a decade). So how do political candidates

Yes, it’s tax day, and what better day could there be to talk about all the distressing, expensive, and scary foolishness in the world? Ripping off taxpayers with climate change craziness. Today has been a “suffer the climate change” day for me, so it’s appropriate to open with a riff

Dear New York Republicans: Ever since Sen. Cruz used the phrase “New York values” during a Republican debate, I’ve been reading that large numbers of New York Republicans who support Trump are doing so because they cannot get over the psychic pain flowing from Ted Cruz’s statement. I cannot believe that this

The latest polls show Trump up again and Cruz down. I don’t care. As we’ve discovered in the last few elections, polls no longer have much value today. Sure, some prove to be right at the end of the day, but that seems to be due more to random luck

One of the things about a hard-fought primary is that it can be seen as a preview of coming attractions. You can really get the measure of a person when you watch that person vying for the nomination, and you can start thinking about what kind of candidate that person
Continue readingAm I the only one who finds this sentence incredibly disturbing? The sentence comes from an article about Gloria Vanderbilt’s life and, more specifically, her sex life, which is the subject of a new documentary. The person behind the documentary is Anderson Cooper, Vanderbilt’s son, and noted gay TV personality
Continue readingIf there were a speed-blogging competition, my goal would be to win it with this round-up post. I’d meant to blog at length and at leisure today, but life caught up, including a glitch with the bank, which lost the signatures that would enable me to liquidate my mother’s trust.
Continue readingBack in 2008, I thought to myself “The new internet media, when combined with existing conservative talk shows and Fox news, will be what finally breaks through the old media’s stranglehold on information in America. Old media is — thank God — dying.” Old media got Barack Obama elected president. Back
