Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
In 1760, Charleston, S.C. faced what was to become known as the Great Small Pox Epidemic. In a city of 8,000 people, most of whom had no immunity, small pox spread during the early months of 1760. The response of Charlestonians was superior to the response of modern society to

Here’s a clever, depressing, and creepy video. I’m working on another idea, but it’ll be a little while before I have it up:

I always enjoy it when people think out of the box. The same guest blogger who was brain storming ways to make elections more fair has come up with a suggestion about making the president’s office less of a “thing.” I find the idea intriguing and wanted to share it

Newly released FBI texts show that middle-class people will usually ignore principles and take whatever path helps them pay their bills. In May 2017, Trump fired James Comey. Comey, of course, presented himself (he still does) as the most virtuous man in Washington. But even then, before we knew that

Talking with a young person about how the government gets its money saw me making an analogy to my mother crying decades ago over an empty bank account. When I was a little girl, we weren’t living in poverty, but we were hanging onto my mother’s cherished middle-class lifestyle by

Lulu lives in a shutdown city, and thinks that there are ways to open up businesses while keeping safe because people’s huge sacrifices can’t go on forever. My friend Lulu sent me an essay about what she’s experiencing in one of the cities that’s been hit hard by the virus

Seeing COVID-19-related behavioral changes in Walmart, especially among African-Americans, told me that we can control our destinies and reopen America. I’ve always been a rather fastidious person, but that went stratospheric in around 2003, which was the year that I stumbled non-stop from one cold to another for almost eight

My time got eaten up by haunted nights and bureaucratic days. In the meantime, can I offer you a nice place to talk about tonight’s Democrat debate? Today was going to be a great blogging day. I went to bed before 1 a.m. and planned to get up early. I

Because the government is a lagging, not a leading, indicator, its giant pieces of legislation almost always lead to perpetual bureaucracy and corruption. I was talking yesterday with a friend — a lifelong conservative — who said, “You know, if I’d been alive in the 1960s, I probably would have

The Horowitz Report is stunning, not for the IG’s anodyne conclusions, but for the facts he has uncovered: By far the most important is that the investigation continued after January 2017, when the wheels fell off the Steele Dossier. The FBI’s choices to lie and double down on a manifestly

This podcast uses homelessness and the military as a prism to focus on the ruling class’s disdain for ordinary Americans and its transnational allegiance. My latest podcast is up and running. You can listen to it through the audio embed below, or at LibSyn, or through Apple Podcasts. This podcast discusses:

With Bruce Ohr’s 302’s and Kathleen Kavalec’s memo available, the full picture of the agency machinations behind RussiaGate looks just like a coup. If the FBI and DOJ undertook the Trump Russia collusion investigation without probable cause, then the question becomes whether it was a coup by the government with

Trump is the avatar of an American reformation, for he is destroying the dangerous Leftist edifice that has turned our constitutional government into a god. A few quotations to begin. The first is from Charles Lipson, writing about Mueller’s sinking reputation (and I guarantee that my ellipses are honest): Republicans

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

With the shutdown, the media and the Deep State launch a subtle attack against Donald Trump by sneakily exonerating the Senate from responsibility. Okay, I admit it. Saying James Comey is dishonest is pretty much like saying “dog bites man.” It’s no longer news. It’s simply the way the world
