Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I think I’ve come up with a universal theory of voter fraud, one that explains Obama’s (to me) inexplicable victory in 2012 as well as (to the Progressives and #NeverTrumpers) Trump’s equally inexplicable victory in 2016. This theory is not to be taken seriously, but I still like how comprehensive

I’m leaving soon for the airport, but wanted to make two quick points about government corruption and minority rule before it becomes too difficult to write. Government corruption. It was easy for Obama to corrupt the Department of Justice. He simply put in place people who had no respect for
Continue readingMs. BWR was the key to convincing me to hold my nose and vote Trump on the sole ground of control of the Supreme Court, so I’ve got the bar set quite low for this administration. That said, I like their first few steps so far. Corruption Two of the

Your faith is your
Continue readingI always enjoy Bill Whittle’s videos. He has a knack for describing social and political issues with tremendous clarity. I’m convinced that ordinary Progressives (not the True Believers, but the knee-jerk voters), would change their views if they would make themselves watch a steady diet of Bill Whittle and Prager University videos. This
Continue readingTo the extent this implies that the government itself is hiding behind the Bill of Rights, this poster isn’t quite right. An individual in the government, rather than the government itself, is pleading the 5th. Just because one works for the government doesn’t mean one gives up ones rights as
Continue readingOne of the scarier moments in my life occurred back in 1987, when I was traveling with my mother in still-Communist Prague. We’d originally planned to stay there six days, but a three-day taste of Communism — the shabbiness, the sullen people, the dirty air, the vile food — was

Continue readingThe Obama administration is headed for a big showdown with judicial accountability next year. Let’s look at the dance list thus far: 1. The “Fast and Furious” gunwalker scandal, involving potential collusion from the top of our government to funnel automatic weapons and explosives to drug cartels operating within and
Continue readingI haven’t been following Operation Fast and Furious as much as I should have. I have no excuse. Bob Owens (aka Confederate Yankee) has been spelling it out with care and diligence. I’m not going to rehash things here, but Doug Ross has dropped in a tidbit that really, really
Continue readingMuch has been written about playwright David Mamet’s coming-out as a conservative and his reasons for so doing, but there is still much gold to be mined from Mamet’s mind. Today’s National Review Online revisits Mamet in this stellar piece by Matthew Shaffer that contains this one gem that
Continue readingGiven this blog’s recent flogging of the China versus U.S. (“us”) question, here is a primary example of how China may surpass the U.S. by becoming more business friendly as it decentralizes while the U.S. risks having to learn the lessons of socialist history all over again as our over-regulated

My email group rolled the idea around a little bit and then decided that
Continue readingAs everyone should know by now, House Democrats are contemplating doing away entirely with a vote on the Senate bill, and simply announcing that they’ve passed it. After all, why shouldn’t the Constitution bow down before their overweening statism? Steve Schippert, a veteran, has unloaded both cannons against this attack
