Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Britain, which has shown a certain lack of spine when it comes to the Islamists on its shores, nevertheless stood up to Al Qaeda representative Abu Qatata. Britain, however, is no longer a sovereign nation. It handed over its sovereignty to the EU, which gets the final say in matters.

Continue readingBefore I get to the news, I just wanted to throw in a little aside about birds’ nests. They are one of nature’s small miracles and, today, I’m in a position to know. A hopeful family has planted itself outside our front door on top of our porch light. From
Continue readingMy Manchurian candidate post is getting a lot of readership, and I can’t even figure out what the sources are. It’s just kind of dribbling around the internet. That post focused on something very specific about Obama, which is the disconnect between his much trumpeted innate qualities. We are told
Continue readingHitting on many of the same points I did in my analysis of Obama’s Cairo speech, Frank Gaffney makes the compelling argument that, whether Obama is a believing Muslim or just an ideologue, he has aligned himself in significant ways with the Muslim world, and clearly hopes to drag America
Continue readingI got an email poll from my representative Lynn Woolsey. I was willing to take the poll, even though it would mean newsletters from her, until I actually read the poll. It’s a dishonest one, and makes intelligent responses impossible. Here’s the whole email, with my comments in red: As
Continue readingAnd this good news comes from Pakistan, of all places. Does it strike any of you as strange that, just as the rest of the world decides to become more economically conservative and take terrorism more seriously — because their Leftist economics and laissez faire attitude towards terrorism weren’t working
Continue readingMichelle was only 21 or so when she wrote her Princeton thesis, so I’m certainly willing to give her a pass on a fair amount of stuff. After all, few of us are polished people at that age. As a college student, I wrote a lot of good stuff and
Continue readingOkay, it’s actually called the Kennedy bill, but it’s the realization of Obama’s insistence on the federal government forcing and funding mandatory health insurance. Keith Hennessey, in addition to giving links for you to read the bill yourself, explains the substantive parts of the bill, as well as the probable
Continue readingThis is supposed to be a “news” story about the Obama family trip to Paris. It strikes me as coming much closer to a bad bodice ripper, with scary Messianic overtones: People gawked and cameras clicked as the Obamas cut a wide figure through the French capital even while confined
Continue readingWright crawled out from under the bus to give a “sermon” at Glide Memorial in SF, a “church” more famous for its activism, than its religion. Wright’s “sermon” was in keeping with the “church’s” mission, which is political, not religious: In a half-hour, high-energy sermon, sprinkled with spontaneous songs, jokes
Continue readingFor many years, the bête noire of Marin County driving was the jam, both North and South, in the 101 corridor at San Rafael. If you headed south in the morning, that bottleneck could back you up for miles, almost up to Novato. And if you headed north in the
Continue readingThis is seriously good news: despite unprecedented Iranian funding for Hezbollah in the Lebanese elections, Lebanese voters rejected Hezbollah resoundingly. And Obama must be mulling the fact that right of center parties won all across Europe. Now, admittedly, even Europe’s right is often to the left of America’s Left, but
Continue readingSomething very weird is going on when a woman has worked 25 plus years as a lawyer (in both the private and public sector), but has only about $1,000 in savings, and less than $1,000,000 in equity. Financial records may show that (a) she gave everything to charity; (b) she
Continue readingIt’s not that she’s a woman, and it’s not that she’s almost certainly going to be shot as a spy for allegedly helping Israel. It’s the reason she began spying in the first place.
