Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Even my kids have figured out that the best negotiation is one in which you negotiate in good will from a position of strength. Barack Obama probably agrees with this principle, but it’s becoming obvious that he’s misidentified the source of America’s strength in any negotiation. When presidents from prior

Continue readingAs in, I hope the CIA and God-knows-what-other-relevant-government-acronym-organizations are keeping an eye on the same things that Rusty Shackleford is watching. Free speech? Yes. Free press? Yes. Vigilance against those who use our freedoms to destroy us? Yes.
Continue readingIf you’re a Seinfeld fan, you’ll recognize the above quotation as Bapu’s condemnation of Jerry, after Jerry’s well-intentioned bungling destroys his business and (in a later episode) causes Bapu to be deported. In both cases, we, the viewer, know that Jerry acted without malice. Sometimes, though, bad men do act
Continue readingWhat’s weird about this opening sketch from Saturday Night Live isn’t that it takes pot shots at Barack Obama’s attempts to micromanage American businesses. Nor is it weird that the dude doing the Obama impression isn’t very good. And, given that this is SNL, it’s certainly not weird that it’s
Continue readingBut when Obama says something so ignorantly stupid even my children wouldn’t sink so low, a American media says absolutely nothing at all.
Continue readingThe other day, I asked “can it happen here?” The Radio Patriot reminded me that it is already happening there, in France. Mark Steyn talked about the demographic destruction of Europe in his book America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It. But he didn’t include maps.
Continue readingThere’s a row in England over the fact that a kids’ cartoon magazine, published by the Who Cares? Trust, which receives a great deal of public funding, shows a boy wearing a large cross being an Islamophobe, while a hijab clad girl is an articulate, brave defender of human rights.
Continue readingDidn’t Biden say Obama would be tested within months of taking office? The State Department says that North Korea has launched a rocket, following through on its promise of a launch despite international criticism. State Department spokesman Fred Lash confirmed the launch, saying it occurred at 10:30 p.m. EDT Saturday.

Continue readingObama to the French: “Al Qaeda is still a threat,” Obama reminded the audience. “We cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything is going to be OK.” (And I thought it was racist/religionist to use his middle name.)
Continue readingThe Oakland police force suffered a shattering loss last week when four of its officers were killed in a single day. Not only did the shooting highlight the risks police officers take every day, it also highlighted that the Oakland Police force is singularly understaffed. Oakland is also going broke,
Continue readingIn an earlier post, I directed your attention to the incredibly disturbing footage of Pakistani village authorities brutally whipping a teenage girl before a throng of men, because she violated Sharia norms by being seen in public with her father in law. The footage is disturbing on many levels, not
Continue readingObama bowed deeply to the King of Saudi Arabia. It’s worth remembering that this King supports exactly the same type of “justice” you see meted out here to a teenage girl in Pakistan who committed the heinous Sharia crime of leaving the house with her father in law.
Continue readingTOTUS goes to the bathroom for one minute and look what happens Is it just me not liking the guy, or was this response unfocused blather? Britain’s lefty Guardian paper, of all places, votes for unfocused blather. In case you need a reminder, this is how you give a focused
