Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I was in San Francisco yesterday, and two things caught my eye. The first was a man standing on a corner near Haight-Ashbury with a protest sign bearing the words “Dump Trump.” How stupid do you have to be to stand in the fog and wind in what’s probably the

Thankfully, it’s not the kind of migraine that has me rushed off to the ER, or that sees me sunken into abject misery in a darkened room. I’m just lethargic, hence the fact that this Open Thread opened at almost 7 p.m. Pacific Time. Still, migraine or not, I’ve got

If I had artistic ability, I could recreate for you a cute Jewish cartoon from the 1960s that riffed on the hackneyed statement attributed to all generic, beardless 13-year-old Jewish boys who, having struggled through their bar mitzvahs, turn to the congregation and, in their squeaky, prepubescent voices, announce, “Today, I

I have been wondering if feminists actually care about women and sexual assault. We have heard for years about the college rape culture and that one in five women on colleges will be raped. The feminists’ silence about the new transgender bathroom laws leaves me bewildered. After all, thousands of

I’ll be away all day tomorrow, first doing an activity with the kids, and then listening to this year’s best a cappella groups (although this wonderful group from Israel won’t be there). I therefore hope that this post gives you lots of interesting stuff to read on Saturday. Pro-Trump? Anti-Trump?

The Obama administration has announced that from this day forward, all public schools in America must let children choose their bathroom and locker room based upon a child’s feelings about his or her gender on any given day. This means that, if a male sexual predator (or simply a sexually curious boy)

[With the coming political fight between Trump, a sort of Progressive Republican, on the one hand, and Bernie/Hillary, hard Left and corrupt, on the other, we need to recognize that the real war in the next few years isn’t at the national political level but, instead, is the fight on

I’m back, and still playing beat the clock when I blog, so let me get right down to business: Just one thing about Target’s preexisting open bathroom policy. You may not have known about Target’s long-standing open-access bathroom policy (all gender identities welcome wherever they want), but it appears that

The social justice warriors have been busy on my “real-me” Facebook page, ridiculing the concerns of ordinary Americans who cannot understand why, out of the blue, they are suddenly being told that gender isn’t a biological reality but is, instead, a mere social construct that a person can socially reconstruct

Faded rock stars and PC corporations have jumped on board the “men can go in the women’s bathroom if they claim to be transgender” bandwagon. What’s notable, though, when one considers the speed with which the Left is effecting a vast gender experiment, is that nobody has done a poll asking

I finally got around to watching last week’s 60 Minutes, which had a segment devoted to Schuyler Bailar, a person who got admitted to Harvard as to swim on its women’s swim team, but who had breast removal surgery over the summer and presented at Harvard asking to swim on
Continue readingThe Washington Times published an excellent article pointing out the hypocrisy of Apple, PayPal, and other corporations boycotting North Carolina because the state said biological males and females should use separate restrooms in public places: PayPal drew a line in the sand when North Carolina enacted a law prohibiting people from
Continue readingI watched HBO’s documentary about Robert Mapplethorpe, and it brought back a long-forgotten memory. In 1989, my then-boyfriend and I went to an art gallery affiliated with UC Berkeley to see the controversial Robert Mapplethorpe exhibition that had so aroused Jesse Helm’s wrath. My memory is that the gallery was
