Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
While not all of the links in this post discuss the Second Amendment, most do. There’s other stuff too, about health care, the economy, etc. It’s all good. A great book about the Second Amendment. This post focuses heavily on the Second Amendment because, once again, Progressives are using an

My polymath friend Michael Phillips has written a book called “The Most Important Book In Human History.” He’s not exaggerating. It is that important. I have told you before about my friend Michael Phillips, who is not just one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, but also one of

A posh Marin background and a good heart can’t overcome a social justice education that teaches that wealth creation happens through shakedowns. Marin is one of America’s richest counties. Mill Valley, in Marin County, is one of the most affluent cities in California, with a median household income of $132,192

In my first #BoycottingTheBoycotters post, making people aware that there are businesses that have decided they’re too good for you, the half of America who support a president who wants to stop the Obama anomaly and take America all the way back to 2005 or 1995, only 194 businesses were

I’m not sure that I’m hollering this loudly enough: Republicans and other conservatives need to #BoycottTheBoycotters: That is, they need to stop giving money to the rapidly growing list of businesses, both at home and abroad, that have taken the pledge to stop advertising at Breitbart based upon the claim

Okay, I’m exaggerating a little bit when I say that Donald Trump is Rodney Dangerfield, because Trump isn’t a Jewish stand-up comedian whose shtick was to be a shlub who “got no respect” and who, near the end of his career, suddenly hit the big time in Hollywood. But if

Trump, if he resuscitates the American economy, if he gives economic life back to the working class, he will be unbeatable in 2018 and 2020. Democrats, now not but a municipal power, will be buried. Fortunately, Trump’s job is not hard. Drop corporate income tax rates from 35%, the highest in

Prager U is out with another video, this one asking whether the economy benefits or suffers from government intervention. Steve Forbes makes the case (with which I agree) that government helps an economy best when it creates optimal economic conditions (low taxes, low regulation) and then sets the economy free.

I regularly like to tell anyone who will listen that Bernie Sanders is a good diagnostician but that his proposed treatments will kill the patient — the patient in this case being the United States economy. Bernie is absolutely correct that America has a problem with the too-tight nexus between

While Bookworm is away at Disneyland, she’s tasked me to fill in for her. I am going to try and do so without any mention of the names Trump, Cruz, Sanders or Hildabeast (more than once). Instead this will be a historical post, but one that I hope resonates still today.
Continue readingIf there were a speed-blogging competition, my goal would be to win it with this round-up post. I’d meant to blog at length and at leisure today, but life caught up, including a glitch with the bank, which lost the signatures that would enable me to liquidate my mother’s trust.
Continue readingIt’s time for another installment in my “Leftists always get it wrong” series. (See Part 1 and Part 2.) Here is the typically wrongheaded poster I want to challenge today: Without diving into the details, there are two central flaws with this poster that negate everything it advocates: It assumes

These were firms that helped fund the Age of Exploration, and grew along with their clients during the Industrial Revolution. A merchant banker was knowledgeable in one or more
