Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
America, the Land of Opportunity The major theme of the night was “land of opportunity,” with emphasis on economic opportunity under Trump, but also “the land of opportunity” in other important ways, particularly the right to a second chance for criminals who have served their time, a new life for

It was a good first night at the Republican National Convention. Republicans highlighted Trump’s record, contrasted it with Biden’s, and pushed back at charges of racism. The major themes of the night were: Highlight the successes, particularly the economic and foreign policy successes of the Trump administration, prior to the

Scott Adams calls out Joe Biden for playing the race card with the “fine people” hoax. On Aug. 20, Joe Biden gave a short acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination. So low were expectations that when Biden managed to get through the speech without drooling on himself or forgetting where

Mark Levin conducted a wide-ranging interview of AG Bill Barr that aired Sunday night. Barr is perceptive, honest, plain-spoken, and uncowed by the progressive morass he is battling. The interview, embedded below, is enlightening. Part I — America has fundamentally changed in the past 30 years as radicals have withdrawn

The progressives’ end game is to remake America and they will not tolerate losing the Presidency in November. Win or lose, a civil war of sorts is in the offing. The only question is when? There are two Americas today, and the divide is demonstrated perfectly in this short video:

Heather MacDonald is perhaps America’s preeminent scholar on matters of crime and race in America. Powerline’s John Hinderaker sponsored a live-stream presentation by Ms. MacDonald on 30 July in which she addressed the reality of crime in the U.S. and the lies on which the Black Lives Matter movement is

At City Journal, a wide ranging interview with black professor of economics, Glen Loury, a fact-driven contrarian in the mold of Thomas Sowell. Glen Loury is a professor of Economics at Brown Univ. — and since we are playing in a world of racial politics, let’s take note that he

Dr. Sowell recently observed that the term “systemic racism” is meaningless and that we are rapidly approaching a point of no return, much like ancient Rome. Below is was the entirety of Mark Levin’s July 12 interview of Thomas Sowell. In the first several minutes, Levin asks Dr. Sowell about

With the NFL preparing to play the “black national anthem” before The Star-Spangled Banner, it’s time for a thought experiment. The idea for this post is not mine. Instead, it comes from the poster embedded below. I’m just expanding upon it. As you know, starting with the no-talent Colin Kaepernick,

A Contra Costa couple is being prosecuted by a George Soros funded DA for the “hate crime” of painting over a “BLM Mural.” They need to sue the DA and the city for libel and violating their right to freedom of speech. Several days ago, a couple in California, upset

A black man ran over a white BLM protester in Seattle who was part of a protest blocking the highway at night. ABC’s hot-take on the incident is about as disingenuous as it can get. If we define “fake news” as not just false, but to include intentionally omitting salient

The media keeps the focus on blacks whom leftists have taught to hate. In America, though, there are probably more blacks who don’t hate. Here are 3 of them. I went to the gun store again today, which is always a pleasant way to pass time. (By the way, thanks

What we’re seeing with the Black Lives Matter movement is the BIG LIE — and it’s not the slander that cops are killers. This BIG LIE is even worse. Right now, a whole lot of us are being bullied to parrot the slogan that “Black Lives Matter.” Before I get

In the history of bad ideas, the latest progressive brainstorm — defund the police — is among the most idiotic of them all. Abolishing police and prisons were ideas first floated in our ivory towers. They have now gone mainstream. For instance, according to Vox: Amid the anti-police brutality protests
