Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
If you’re shopping at Walmart because you believe it’s one of the last big chains with mainstream American values, you might want to rethink that idea. Walmart, which started in Arkansas, made its reputation as the chain that catered to regular Americans, the kind who eat meat, not vegan; the

Once upon a time, we Americans would walk boldly into a Walmart or Lowe’s, grab a shopping cart, troll the aisles getting whatever we could need or want, and then head to the cash register, to stand packed in line with myriad other people to checkout. Those days seem like

It’s no surprise that socialized medicine countries stopped treating their old people. Socialized medicine rations care even when there’s not an emergency. I was talking to a friend in Spain who has taken his 88-year-old mother into his home. His mother had previously been living in a retirement community near
Continue readingSome time ago, a Political Science professor, Bruce Gilley, wrote an article, The Case For Colonialism. It was published by Third World Quarterly after a “double-blind peer review.” The article is a well-researched critique of modern historical revisionism and hard left academic bias as concerns colonialism. One bon-mot: It is hard to overstate
Continue readingIn the late 19th and early 20th centuries, in response to the abuses and consequences of the industrial revolution, many people embraced Karl Marx’s communist ideology. That was suicidally naive. What followed was a century of bloody, catastrophic failure. Today, for anyone to embrace communism, they must be unforgivably ignorant or evil – or both.

With 1/5 of the NFL having doubled down on Marxist racism, we are witnessing its bet that, in the culture war, patriotic Americans will take a knee. By interjecting radical black Marxist/progressive politics into the NFL, the progressive left has just accepted — and indeed, doubled down — in a
Continue readingWe are either a melting pot wherein “all men are created equal” – the ideal of our Founders for which we have long striven . . . – or we are to become a multicultural nation of pigeon-holed special interests. We are to become a nation where groups are encouraged to

When I began my What Business Thinks project, my idea was to create an app that allows people to investigate the issues on which businesses have taken a stand and to contribute their own information (properly sourced, of course) to the database. I quickly figured out that it would take

The picture comes from People’s Cube and their latest magazine offering Comey, Trump, the Justice Dept. and Special Counsel Victor Davis Hanson, writing at American Greatness, gives an excellent summation of the progressive jihad aimed at toppling President

While the viral videos of United Airlines and Dr. Dao do not tell the whole story, United definitely handled the matter badly from beginning to end. I never comment on internet hysteria within the first 24 hours. Subsequent facts always reveal that the initial take was wrong in one way

Just when 60 Minutes did a report on Americans hurt by H-1B visas, I had a very frustrating customer experience with workers brought in under H-1B visas. Two nights ago, 60 Minutes ran an episode about the H-1B visas that allow companies to fire long-time technical workers and replace them with cheap

The relentless pressure Progressives are using to get other companies to follow Kellogg’s lead and remove their advertising from Breitbart and other conservative websites is a reminder that, for the Left, the personal is always political. Leftists will not allow any activity in their lives to be politically neutral. Everything
Continue readingYesterday, I attended a meeting at my mother’s retirement community and got a very good reminder about why monopolies are bad for consumers. Without breaching privacy, I can tell you this: the retirement community is one in which residents pay a significant buy-in fee, which they are told is applied
Continue readingOne of my friends posted a very cute video on Facebook. If you can’t get the video to work, what you would see if you watched it is some clever monkeys in a Japanese tourist area. Rather than stealing people’s food, they instead steal people’s glasses, hats, flip-flops, and even their
