Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
It’s not an exaggeration to say Rush Limbaugh helped save American conservativism. Trump recognized him at the SOTU and I’m reposting an homage that Rush read on his show. Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh told the world that he has Stage IV lung cancer. Rush is a fighter, as evidenced by his

In America, the term Right Wing is misused to imply that conservative Americans are fascists lusting for world domination; in fact, the opposite is true. (As my regular readers (to whom I am endlessly grateful) know, I was away from my blog for some time caring for a relative who

If you believe in re-electing President Trump and advancing Constitutional American values, you must subscribe to conservative internet sites. Once upon a time, big internet sites relied on advertising to pay for technology and staff. As ads began to clutter websites, slowing loading, and resulting in irritating pop-ups, internet users

American conservatives, Trump included, by definition cannot be Right Wing, because their primary goal is to lessen government control over the individual. John Lott wrote an article challenging the media’s contention that the New Zealand mosque shooter is “right wing” and, naturally, tying that right-winged-ness to President Trump and his

Jordan Peterson continues to delight for he eschews trite pop culture and politics and, instead, speaks about deep truths that go to the human condition. I have wonderful friends. So wonderful that one of them invited me to join her and her family to see Jordan Peterson and Dave Rubin

I’m still vibrating from the excitement of an evening hearing Mark Steyn, Victor Davis Hanson, and Steve Hayward, something I try to share in this post. Thanks to a kind friend, last night I once again had the inestimable pleasure of attending PRI’s annual gala. This year, Mark Steyn was

Susan Rice has a son who shows I was prescient when I wrote that Leftists rightly fear Rush Limbaugh, for he has the power to change minds (in a good way). Politically, I’m no fan of Susan Rice. I disagree with her politics and I disagree with how she conducted

The Jordan Peterson event I attended was a “happening” that made me think Americans are craving a spiritual Great Awakening that will bind us as a nation. For some time now I have had running through my brain the thought that America needs a Great Awakening along the lines of

Thomas Sowell telling said that facts — real world, life facts — ended his Marxist phase. I’ve compiled a list of life facts that made me conservative. Dave Rubin interviewed Thomas Sowell, who has a new book out called Discrimination and Disparities. I will get myself a copy as soon

Perhaps… A movie that will live in your minds as an all-time classic? Doubtful… A movie that will make you smile, laugh uncomfortably,

If being conservative isn’t a choice but is, instead, a genetic imperative, you can shame your Leftist friends when they attack you for being born this way. The Left is insistently telling us that, except for gender, which is apparently infinitely mutable, the two most important things about us are

Charlie Kirk, who brings patriotism, free market ideology, and respect for individual liberty to American colleges, is a must-see guest on the Rubin Report. Not quite two years ago, I had the tremendous privilege to meet Charlie Kirk when he came to speak to a speakers group in Marin. I

Watching the differing responses from Left and Right to the Florida school shooting perfectly captures fundamental differences in Left and Right thinking. After the school shooting news broke yesterday, I quickly pounded out a few thoughts based in large part on data from and reactions to past shootings. Now that

If you want to experience an unusually scintillating 100 minutes, watch or listen to the Rubin Report with guests Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson. I’ve finally accepted that I’ll never do martial arts again, I’ve decided to use walking my dog as my primary form of exercise. To stave off
