Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
The left’s choices in martyrs and saints make sense only if martyrdom is measured by posthumous utility in propaganda, not moral courage. Not so long ago, martyrs were people who made an affirmative decision to risk or even sacrifice their lives for the betterment of the world or simply for

This is a potpourri post: a little political commentary, some political cartoons, and some lovely images of spring at Charleston’s historic Charles Towne Landing. I spent another lovely weekend either working (which I enjoy) or spending time with my daughter (which I enjoy more) — hence the low posting volume.

I haven’t been posting on my blog but I’ve still been thinking about politics and world issues. This is a potpourri of those thoughts. Does anyone today remember Jerome K. Jerome? He was a Victorian-era author of whimsical books. I believe his best-known book was Three Men in a Boat,

The Biden administration’s use of Modern Monetary Theory to create intentional inflation is a form of extreme taxation without representation. If you ask for the fancy definition, this is what you’ll see when you look up Modern Monetary Theory (MMT): MMT’s main tenets are that a government that issues its

You can’t interfere with a meritocracy and expect the results still to have merit — but that’s what the stupidly woke Ivy Leagues are doing. This is a slightly older story that I’ve been meaning to write about for a long time; namely, the Ivy League’s attempt to deny admission

In the fight against evil, how does one choose whether martyrdom or living to fight another day is the more effective option? We went again to lovely Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. This time, we went to the Swamp walk and took a boat tour through the former rice fields, which

I want to apologize for the silence at my end for the past few days, but it’s not going to change in the next day or two. You see, my daughter is visiting. Her firm gives her remote work time, which allows all the young people to visit their parents,

In spring, we get a reminder that we are fortunate to live in a world of great beauty. I was back at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens yesterday. This time, the azaleas are in bloom. I would have liked to take more pictures showing how lush they were, but the gardens

It’s strange that, with full color, x-ray vision into the fetus’s world, leftists can both celebrate that view and still be pro-abortion. I grew up as a pro-abortion Democrat. I was unable to maintain that attitude when I saw the first ultrasound of my daughter at ten or eleven weeks

Corporations funded the Democrat party and now openly push its policies. It’s time to give them a lesson in economic pain to make them stop. For anyone hoping that this is some weird S&M post, you’re at the wrong place. Instead, it’s about the fact that, while praising good behavior

Biden? COVID? Immigration? The Second Amendment? Democrat corruption and stupidity? It’s all here — and more — with 80 memes and posters.

Every year, I publish a variation of my Passover post, with the latest enemy of freedom starring as Pharaoh. This year, Biden is Pharaoh. For roughly 3,500 years, Jews have been telling and retelling the story of Passover — which is also the story of the world’s first revolt against

For leftists, the pie is finite; possible competition must be winnowed out by artificially dividing humans into fake “meaningful” categories. The cold I wrote about is still bedeviling me a bit, so I went slightly Victorian and “took to the couch” this afternoon. I didn’t go full Victorian, of course,

With Dems again attacking the Second Amendment, I’ve assembled a slideshow with almost 500 Second Amendment memes from the last 8 years. If you hover your mouse anywhere over the slide show screen, you’ll see the controls — forward, pause/play, backward.

There’s something very odd about the image at the very top of the White House’s official homepage. I went to the official White House homepage looking for a transcript of Biden’s press conference today. (No transcript there, so far.) I was immediately struck by the visuals at the top of
