Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Victor Davis Hanson puts his finger on something important: It’s not that the federal government has grown in size under Obama; it’s that it’s grown in arrogance. It no longer makes even a pretense of being the people’s servant. It knows it’s our master. *** I’ve always enjoyed reading books
Continue readingI had to drive one of the children somewhere, so I am not anywhere near my computer. I am doing this little squiblet. on my iPhone, which is a challenge. (And did you know that AutoCorrect thinks that “squiblet” is “squid lips”?) Anyway, until I’m back at my computer, please
Continue readingI. INTRODUCTION God forgive me, but I used to be so anti-gun that I donated to The Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence. I know. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Since that time, I’ve done a complete 180 and become a fervent gun supporter and a proud member
Continue readingBecause I allowed myself to wallow in my traffic woes yesterday, I never got around to linking to some wonderful things that came my way. Then, my website got all worried. Readers could access it, but it blocked me from posting — not to mention deleting everything I’d written between
Continue readingWhether you devour this post in one fell swoop or nibble at it throughout the day, I can guarantee you a lot of food for thought: The VA scandal is gaining traction, as word comes out that the VA already knew back in 2010 that hospitals were manipulating records. Robert
Continue readingThis day has offered an embarrassment of riches when it comes to interesting news and good posts. Without further ado…. This goes to my earlier point about the degradation of black culture at white elitist hands: Towson University’s all-black Team won a national debating championship using incoherent babble sprinkled with
Continue readingFamily took precedence this weekend. I was able to read stuff while I waited here and there for various family members, but I never got to my computer to post anything. I therefore have a huge backlog of articles and posts that I found interesting and would like to share
Continue readingJust a few things that caught my eye as the day went by: In one of his weirdly counter-productive defenses of Hillary, Bill said that there was nothing wrong with her — except that it took her six months to recover from her head injury after her fall. That’s a serious
Continue readingEver since my first child was born, I’ve been heavier than I like. I’m still fairly trim, but I am no longer slim. Even four and half years of martial arts didn’t change that. I became well-muscled, but not slim. Since my knee problems started, I’ve stopped exercising, but I
Continue readingGood stuff today. Really good stuff. Here goes: Kevin D. Williamson says that the IRS scandal is the worst scandal ever in American politics, since it fundamentally undermines our form of government. I’m inclined to agree with him and would even go so far as to wonder whether he’s been
Continue readingAn unexpected errand is calling me out of the house in a few minutes. Until then, some quick links: Harvard is now mandating that all students entering its Kennedy school of government must take an official class telling the whites that they’re unduly privileged and everyone else that they’re victims
Continue readingI’ve been a good girl today. I paid bills, cleaned the kitchen, set up appointments for various family members to do various activities, cleared some more stuff out of my in-boxes, and generally did not waste time. Now, though, I’m ready to sit back and “waste” some time by sharing
Continue readingAs I do on a regular basis, I let my inbox reach heroic proportions before, in a panic, I realized that I’d better take care of it because it would only get worse. And as always happens, I found a bunch of gems hiding in there. Some are a bit
Continue readingMom needed more care than the care facility where she lives could give her, so we’re in the ER now. She seems to have an infection, so I’m reasonably confident that the right antibiotics will do the trick. For now, though, her only real symptom is delirium. I wonder what
Continue readingJust a few deserving links, before real life catches up with me. StandWithUs, which may well be the most effective pro-Israel group I know, is sending around an emergency alert asking people to protest the newest front in the BDS movement: getting Israeli architects expelled from international organizations: On March
