Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Question 1: Assuming that the first 100 days are not taken up entirely with architectural redesigns of the new Trump Palace, what five things would you like to see our new President Donald and his new administration address? My own list would be: Nomination for the Supreme Court (preferably

Last night was a fun evening, because the them was “Eras.” For the couple dances, each couple was assigned a decade, from the 1920s through the 1990s. Then, for the two team dances, the groups were designated as “past” and “future.” Although most of the dances were a little disappointing (a

I do not pretend to know what @TheRealAbrahamLincoln would have said of the debate. All I know, was that I thought it was great when Trump charged Clinton with sex, lies, and servers. What was your take on the debate?
Continue readingIf you are not familiar with James Lovelock, he is one of the most influential voices in the global warming movement. He was present at the birth of the movement in the 60’s. Through 2009, he vociferously warned of the dangers of anthropogenic global warming. He has since had an

Sorry about the poor photo quality, but I think you can still spot the interesting details on this Dutch stamp: It’s got a Star of David, a sword, and a dove radiating light: I don’t know what year the stamp was printed, but I’m assuming it’s dates to sometime immediately

First, a depressing announcement: If you pay quarterly taxes, today is one of your deadlines. Second, the fun stuff, which is a ton of clever, thoughtful, and informative posters:

Cliven Bundy and his cohorts took a stand against the federal government for its land grabbing behavior in Nevada. (The federal government controls 81% of Nevada land.) Bundy was and is extremely hostile to the Bureau of Land Management, which he sees as antithetical to state and individual rights under
Continue readingAs many of you already know, my site was down for about 15 hours and, as you can see, it’s back now (thanks to my incaluably valuable webmaster). I’m on the road so blogging will resume in about an hour and a half. In the meantime, a very dear friend
Continue readingDuring the day I’m doing legal work and at night I can’t get to the TV, all if which means I’m not doing any convention blogging. Between my Facebook (populated by Leftists) and my daily reading rounds (about 75% of which now fall into the #NeverTrump) category, my sense of
Continue readingNot only did I not blog about Brexit today, I didn’t do anything at my computer. Instead, after driving someone to the airport, I went downtown for a conversation between James Taranto And Steven Hayward. Afterwards, James invited me to join him and some others for drinks and, even if

Whenever something big goes down, I seem to be far from my computer. So it is this morning. Regarding Brexit, I’m thrilled. It’s Britain’s 1776, or maybe it’s 1783. It’s reasserted its independence from Brussels’ bureaucratic tyranny and, God willing, it will use this independence wisely. Since I have no

Continue readingI am sorry about the prolonged silence here. I have been up to my ears in family matters. Nothing bad, thankfully, but all very time-consuming. I hope to be able to write more this afternoon. Until then, please enjoy this open thread.

Apologies in advance for typos.] Someone on my Facebook feed posted the image below: I find the image fascinating because it speaks so strongly to a particularly immature facet of the Leftist brain: Just like the baby who thinks your face

No, you’re not imagining it: on the perfect night for an open thread, there’s something seriously wrong behind the scenes, at the server level, with the Bookworm Room. My stats
