Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
If you read Bernie’s 1972 “rape fantasy” essay, you realize he was protesting both violent porn and emotional gender inequality, not promoting rape. At PJ Media, the always-excellent Matt Margolis writes that it’s time to ask “hard questions” about Bernie Sanders’ infamous rape fantasy essay. I’d like to suggest that

Aside from the fact that Bernie’s lying when he says Denmark is his goal, the reality is that Denmark is not an exceptionally happy or well-run country. Now that Bernie’s the frontrunner, Bernie and his supporters are assuring us that he’s not a real socialist. He just wants us to

Donald Trump will spend Monday and Tuesday in India, making friends and influencing people, so these two Bollywood-Trump videos are right on point. To celebrate Trump's visit to India I wanted to make a video to show how in my warped mind it will go…… USA and India united! pic.twitter.com/uuPWNRZjk4

A corrupt politician, a communist, a “government by expert” guy, and a pro-American iconoclast are running for president. This is 1920 all over again. The presidential election in 1920 was a very interesting one. At the end of the day, the race boiled down to a contest between the Republican

Every one of the icky Democrat party candidates is a wannabe tyrant who is not qualified to be president but that doesn’t mean one of them can’t win. I watched the Democrat primary debate and had very mixed feelings. On the one hand, I thought that this collection of despots,

My time got eaten up by haunted nights and bureaucratic days. In the meantime, can I offer you a nice place to talk about tonight’s Democrat debate? Today was going to be a great blogging day. I went to bed before 1 a.m. and planned to get up early. I

After 30 years without having to think about health insurance, I’m having to think about it again — and I could use some crowd-sourced help. I’m a Kaiser patient which is fantastic. I adore Kaiser. I wish all Americans had access to Kaiser. Sadly, Kaiser is not in all 50

An article about suicide suggested that religious faith matters to our ability to ride out unhappiness, rather than yielding to the impulse of the grave. Last week, the Free Beacon ran a very sad article about the fact that American suicide rates keep increasing: Every year since the turn of

For those bemoaning McCabe’s current pass, keep in mind that Trump has been deeply handicapped in dealing with the Swamp. That has to change in November. With news about the DOJ’s decision not to prosecute Andrew McCabe, despite IG Horowitz’s finding that McCabe lied to Congress, a lot of people

While I can understand some types of crime, I’m at an absolute loss to understand vandalism, where one person harms an unknown person, just because…. I can understand some forms of criminality and destruction, even though neither appeals to me. I understand, for example, why people steal. You have something

The good things about golf: The gorgeous green, the lovely walk, my delightful companions. The bad thing about golf: Golf. If you’re wondering why the paucity of posts, it’s because I’m at the tail-end of my big move. My last big move was in 1999. Back then, I had a

If you have time to visit only one place outside of historic downtown Charleston, go to Middleton Place, a site of staggering beauty. Last year, I wrote about a trip to Drayton Hall near Charleston. I complained about the approach that the Drayton Hall preservation society took to their historic

Reading Adlai Stevenson’s epigrammatic statements reminds us that, once upon a time, Democrats loved America, loved liberty, and hated socialism. Having watched Mini Mike Bloomberg show his deep disdain for the same Americans whose votes he seeks, I started thinking of Adlai Stevenson, who challenged Eisenhower for the presidency in

This is another apology post for my minimalist blogging. Today marked a week in my new home, but it is a fixer-upper and the fixing up is only now slowing down a bit. I’m slowing down a bit too. The first day, I worked 18 hours; the second, 17 hours;

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is remarkably dumb but it’s not entirely her fault. She is the product of an education system that cultivate and rewards stupidity. Over the years, there have been two constant themes in my posts: First, that public K-12 schools are awful and, second, that we should withdraw every
