Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
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

This post is mostly about Jordan Peterson, explaining his popularity and the great mass of memes in his name. I’ve added some funny posters, too. I’d been aware of Jordan Peterson for some time because the University of Toronto psychology professor took a stand against Canadian law forcing people to put

A romance novel explains why Trump is destroying the media and a Jewish survival doctrine provides a road map for conservatives who want to win. These are strange times and I sometimes have a strange brain. That may explain why, in the days since the Alabama election, when I read

Even as I introduced you to Candace Owens, long-time anti-SJWers started accusing her of lying about herself. Is Owens a convert or are we being conned? A week ago, a friend sent me an email introducing me to Red Pill Black, aka Candace Owens, who’s created thoughtful, well-produced, charming, and

While we old folk are focused on the MSM, Red Pill Black (aka Candace Owens) and other young people are spreading the conservative gospel via lively videos. A few months ago, I wrote about some heartening information: There is a very large population of young conservatives in their twenties and

Yes, there are young conservatives, but they’re not at college or watching TV. Instead, they’re working hard and watching conservative YouTube videos. There’s a young man I’ve known and admired for many years. I met him through one of my children’s activities and quickly sized him up as extremely bright

I’m never disappointed with PragerU videos. They consistently and intelligently distill important, complex ideas into interesting, short, accessible videos. Here is a quartet of excellent PragerU videos on such fascinating subjects as healthcare, tyrannical transparency, capitalism’s virtues, and organic foods’ costs. They’re all typical PragerU products: informative, understandable, and interesting.

A Victor Davis Hanson article and a Progressives’ fact-free attack text perfectly offset Conservative rationalism against Progressive emotionalism. This blog’s motto is “conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.” One of these days, I’ll get around to changing the word “liberals” to

Those who are offended by brute force tactics in the battle against social justice warriors forget that we are in an ideological war with real enemies. He’s been making popular, funny videos challenging social justice warriors for over a year now, but somehow I managed to miss entirely the Chris

A Progressive friend is relentlessly pushing “Trump is awful” stories on me. I, a conservative, invariably counter by pointing out that Hillary’s list of sins and failures is infinitely worse. I realized yesterday that my arguments are irrelevant. My friend will never vote for someone who is not 100% pro-abortion,

I like free speech. I like to use good ideas to challenge bad ideas. I think the whole point of political correctness is to erase our ability even to entertain thoughts about freedom, justice, and our inherent (not government-given, but inherent) rights as set forth in the Bill of Rights.

Liberals are more compassionate if you believe (a) that the state is the source of all charity and succor; (b) that it’s perfectly okay to strip people of their hard-earned wealth to feed the endlessly hungry state; (c) that it doesn’t matter whether the state fails when it comes to
