Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Sic semper tyrannis (“thus always to tyrants”) means tyranny gets punished. Neil Oliver says that today’s tyrants know this and are worried. The same friend who wrote me the letter about life in modern England included a link to a statement from Neil Oliver about the fear he sees in

Americans once prided themselves on not bowing down to the government, unlike European sheeple. Now the reverse is true. What happened? Across Europe, people are rebelling against their governments’ attempts to impose new mask mandates and lockdowns on them or, worse, vaccine passports. (That yearning for freedom, by the way,

Modern society’s ability to stave off death and pain has (counterintuitively) made us a weaker people, more vulnerable to tyranny. I was discussing with Wolf Howling the horrors of 18th century warfare. War, of course, is always hell. It’s sold to young men as a wonder of dashing uniforms and

I don’t know anything about Nicki Schreiner other than this video, but she should be a role model for every liberty-loving person in America. By the way, given the camera angle, this might have been a set-up. However, on her TikTok page, where this gal posted the video, she said

I’m not the fiery rebellious type but, today, we mounted a quiet mask rebellion and — hot damn! — it felt wonderful. I live in the Southeastern corridor that’s been affected by the ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline. And yes, I do think it was a real ransomware attack, not

Maybe I’m beating Danser Encore to death, but I think it’s time Americans look to Europe for a way to break free from COVID restrictions. There’s a rising phenomenon in Europe: the Danser Encore flashmob. I’ve written about the phenomenon twice at American Thinker, so you can go here and

Free speech is under assault. Trump has responded to a ridiculous fact check by Twitter, ordering the FCC and FTC to “consider” interpreting their regulations to strip social media businesses of immunity for politically biased censorship. For years now, deeply biased progressives who control the major social media platforms have

The Passover story provides us with deep insights into the nature of tyranny. This year, China’s tyranny is the subject of my annual Passover post. For roughly 3,500 years, Jews have been telling and retelling the story of Passover — which is also the story of the world’s first revolt

Passover tells us that tyrants fall only when revolution affects them directly and that revolutions are successful only when focused on individual liberty. Passover, which begins tonight, is about so many things: the Jewish people’s renewed covenant with God; their escape from slavery; the journey that ended with the Ten

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

This Bookworm Beat has all shades of Progressive insanity (fake data, attacks on free speech, Chelseamania), complete with links and my trenchant comments. Keep circling that drain. Before I get into the meat of this post detailing the worst emanations from the Democrats and their fellow travelers on their Left,

On this Thanksgiving, in addition to being thankful for all the blessings in my life — everything from a Hillary-less White House to my comfortable home, my wonderful children, and my supportive community (just don’t talk politics) — I’m also grateful that, almost four hundred years ago, the Pilgrims abandoned

Hillary’s supporters are certain that Trump will be a Hitlerian nightmare of totalitarianism, with women, blacks, Hispanics, LGBTQ+-ers, and Muslims thrown into dire concentration camps somewhere in the middle of Kansas. Meanwhile, the less loopy #NeverTrump crowd is worried that Trump will be something along the lines of a Huey

A new thing called cultural appropriation is suddenly in the news lately. Just yesterday, designer Marc Jacobs was in the news because the Social Justice Warriors were appalled that his runway models — mostly white — wore fake, multi-colored dreadlocks. (SJW’s have a real problem with white people wearing dreads.) That
