Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Bush didn’t, Obama wouldn’t, but the next president should: Call into the Oval Office the leaders of Muslim communities throughout America to say, “Because of the First Amendment, the fact that you and the people in your community practice Islam is irrelevant to us in America. Your faith is your
Continue readingI have to admit to finding fascinating that bizarre limp wrist Obama displayed when Raoul Castro attempted to lift his arm for a “We are the champions” photo op. It’s entirely possible that Obama thought it would be rude to yank his arm out of Raoul’s grasp, and did the
Continue readingInteresting gaffe for Bill to make, right up there with his wife’s cheerful assurance that she’s going to throw coal miners out of work:
Continue readingFrom Wonkette: Why are any of these people allowed to vote? I assume it’s supposed to be a joke, but it’s tawdry, stupid, vapid and, of course, sexist. Between Sanders’ dictator worship and economic illiteracy, Hillary’s gross criminality and disregard for the national security entrusted to her, Trump’s demagoguery, Rubio’s bitchiness,
Continue readingThere is no sense of normalcy in the world for me when a committed old communist and a reality TV star are the leading contenders in America’s upcoming presidential election. My round-up addresses some of the craziness, as well as lots of other stuff. Debunking Ted Cruz myths. Like me,
Continue readingI watched the first 40 minutes and then stopped. My problem was the moderators, who I thought were dreadful. (Since I read my news and don’t watch it, I approached them with an open mind, since I had no idea what shtick each brought to the table.) I wanted to
Continue readingThe poster below isn’t just a good poster that makes an excellent point about the need to free the American economy from taxes and crony capitalism. What makes it really great is that a young relative of mine is the one who created it. I am so very lucky with my
Continue readingDuring his final (thank you God) State of the Union address, during his discussion about Islam, Obama had something to say about those who dare insult Islam: In a swipe at some Republican presidential candidates, he warned against “voices urging us to fall back into tribes, to scapegoat fellow citizens who
Continue readingYesterday, I got around to reading Michael Crowley’s ‘We Caved’ : What happened when Barack Obama’s idealistic rhetoric collided with the cold realities of war and dictatorship in the Middle East and beyond. I recommend it. It’s a depressing look at what happens when the Progressive Ivory Tower meets the
Continue readingI don’t know how this happened, but in just three days of collecting articles on my cyber-spindle, I’ve managed to gather together almost thirty solid links I want to share with you. No time for chat, therefore; instead, I’ll plunge straight into my fascinating “world gone mad” edition: If you
Continue readingBecause Obama’s gun control edicts have had conservatives crying foul about Obama’s habit of ignoring Congress, a lot of Leftists are recycling this poster from November 2014: The poster offends me. It’s not just out of date, it’s fraud by omission. I decided to correct these flaws:
Continue readingI am not exaggerating when I say that I have been in love (in a political way) with Elbert Guillory ever since I first saw him back in mid-2013, when he was still ostensibly a Democrat. That feeling has never changed and, indeed, my deep and abiding respect for his
Continue readingThe Progressives on my Facebook feed are in a delighted tizzy. Obama actually cried — he cried! — when he spoke of his new unilaterally enacted gun control edicts limiting law-abiding Americans’ Second Amendment rights. I quote: “Bravo, Mr. President! Thank you so much for your leadership, your clear-headed thinking
Continue readingI have sitting in front of me a piece of a very juicy story that’s happening in real-time — and I can’t do anything about it right now! Two things stop me: The first is that, as I said, I currently only have a piece, and I need more information
Continue readingAre you familiar with speed chess? I learned about it when I was at Cal. Since I worked at the Bancroft Library, I had access to an employee break room. Every day at lunch, two men would sit there, chess board in front of them, timer at their side, and
