Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
In Scotland, people are now being barred from eating in public for fear of offending Muslim colleagues who have voluntarily chosen to fast during the day at Ramadan: HOSPITAL staff in the Lothians have been told not to eat at their desks to avoid offending Muslim colleagues during Ramadan. NHS
Continue readingI’m on another vacation, sitting in a cyber cafe, working at a small computer with a microscopic keyboard, so it must be random thoughts day. Thank goodness DQ is doing the heavy lifting. The first thing that caught my interest is what Mitt said at the debate, which I really
Continue readingI’m still reading Melanie Phillips’ Londonistan, an extremely well-written book about a most depressing subject — the Islamic push to take over Britain, all aided by the British ruling classes. Reading it also reminds my that my sojourn in England managed to miss this whole political and social movement, which
Continue readingThe Left (both at home and abroad) likes to revile the infamous American President “Chimpy-BusHitler,” but they seem to be taking a pass on some people that even the Left would have to concede have a bit more blood on their hands. Mike Adams and the American Thinker take on
Continue readingI used to admire the BBC. It’s role during WWII was stellar. In the 1960s, it brought us Monty Python and other cutting edge, very silly comedies. In the 1970s, it began making a series of marvelous historic dramas, many of which still represent the finest viewing TV has offered.
Continue readingLondon, one of the greatest cities in the world for the last 1,000 years or so, continues to slide down, down, down. If you’re unlucky enough to live in the wrong section of London, this is what it’s like to do business: A corner shop run by an Asian couple
Continue readingCan anyone explain to me why Britain is taking such a hard line with regard to Russia right now, while it’s taking the weakest approach possible in the face of rising and real Islamist violence?
Continue readingToday, the first day of Spring Break, has been a rather chaotic one for me, as I’ve had shifting plans regarding the children and, all the while, two legal deadlines to meet. As I always say, you know it’s going to be a bad day when you wake up at
Continue readingFrom Mark Steyn: Tony Blair was at pains to point out that the hostages were released ”without any deal, without any negotiation, without any side agreement of any nature.” But he’s missing (or artfully sidestepping) the point: Tehran didn’t want a deal. It wanted the humbling of the Great Satan’s
Continue readingAs pressure goes, the Iranians did not lay it on very heavily: Lt. Felix Carman, safely home with his 14 colleagues, said the crew faced harsh interrogation by their Iranian captors and slept in stone cells on piles of blankets. Unable to see and kept isolated, they heard weapons cocking.
Continue readingDanny Lemieux sent me the link for the ultimate editorial nailing precisely how awful British conduct was vis a vis Iran from start to finish in the last two weeks: Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the waves Britons never, never, never shall be slaves. Pathetic objects of international ridicule, perhaps, but
Continue readingI fulminated about that damned scarf Faye Turney was wearing during her time in Iran (although, interestingly, feminist groups such as NOW seemed unperturbed, just as they seem unperturbed by Pelosi’s Hermes shenanigans during her disgraceful trip to Syria). I could have, but didn’t, comment on the fact that all
Continue readingAs the press likes to remind us, 2,621 American troops have died in Iraq as a result of hostile action, with a total of 3,253 dead. (I assume that the differential is because, at any given time in a large organization, especially one that trains with deadly weapons, a certain
Continue readingThe title of my post is reflective of what’s been going through my mind since I saw the Drudge headline announcing that the U.S. Senate, led by Democrats, has joined the surrender brigade. In what war in history, I ask you, has a country, with victory still more than possible,
