Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Trevor Loudon spoke today to a sold-out room of Marin County conservatives anxious to hear the truth about the Democrat party and to get a prescription for the path to victory in 2016. Trevor, a dynamic speaker from New Zealand, loves America both because of gratitude and hope. He’s grateful

I won’t comment on the article — it
Continue readingJust a quick little squiblet here. Mayor de Blasio has weighed in on ID cards for illegals: New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, said on Monday that giving identification cards to illegal aliens allows them to feel like citizens and enjoy some of the same benefits as
Continue readingThe New York Times ran an article the other day noting that there’s been a big change in Sweden, in that increasing numbers of ordinary Swedes are turning against the countries famously relaxed immigration policy. I’ll let the Times explain: Opposition to the rising numbers is growing. The far-right, anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats had
Continue readingOver the weekend, Council members (plus an honored guest) offered their opinions about President Obama’s most recent executive action the one that . . . you know . . . simply does away with large sections of our legislatively passed immigration laws. I did not participate, since weekends tend to be
Continue readingNo intro. Just diving right in here: Kevin Williams wins this week’s prize for best devastatingly honest statements about Obama Kevin Williams argues that, for all his talk of change, Obama is nothing more than a little man who has stepped into a big job and is now busy reshaping the
Continue readingWhy is it a sad Saturday? Because I read an analysis of 2016 electoral prospects arguing that, while Republicans can definitely win Congress and state houses, the combination of huge Democrat-voting urban areas and the electoral college makes it impossible for Republicans to take the White House. I think that’s
Continue readingI keep meaning to write something profound about what happened to our country yesterday, only to discover that other, much better writers and thinkers already got there before I did. I’ll just summarize by saying that Obama behaved illegally, unconstitutionally, and undemocratically. Having said that, of course, the really important
Continue readingI found this in my inbox: I’m not in love with it, but I think it’s a good, smart start: It uses Obama’s own words against him and suggests that he comes back to the Constitutional fold. As I said earlier, conservatives and Republicans have two years in which to
Continue readingPredictably, those of my Progressive friends on Facebook who are at all politically aware, are kvelling about Obama’s executive order on amnesty. “Best president ever!” “I totally agree with what he did.” “He did the right thing.” My Facebook page is filling up with those statements. To those Progressive friends, I have
Continue readingI’ll be in and out of the house for the next couple of hours. I assume that by the time I get back to my computer Obama will have made amnesty official. If you’ve got something to say, feel free to say it here (with the usual caveats about obscenities,
Continue readingThere are some words that, as a writer, I’ve always wanted to use. One of those words is “cadaverous,” which I think is just a lovely, almost Dickensian word. Having attended last night’s delightful PRI Gala dinner, I finally have that chance. But let me start at the beginning…. I
Continue readingWhy is this a “time warp edition”? Because even though I’m publishing it on Saturday, I actually wrote it on Friday. The reason delayed publishing is because I’m spending all day Saturday attending part II of my CERT training. I expect the training to be more of the same stuff as last
Continue readingNo thoughts today, either profound or self-centered. Just a burning desire to share with you all the wonderful things that come my way: Dr. Jonathan Gruber — the gift that keeps on giving It seems as if every conservative writing is churning out good stuff about what Gruber said, who he
Continue readingIf I’ve written this post correctly, it should trigger discomfort in sensitive Leftists. “Trigger warnings,” for those of you fortunate enough not to move in circles that use them, are warnings at the beginning of any information presentation, be it fact or fiction, written or oral, aural or visual. They tell
