Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
[This is a long one, good for a cozy read on a winter day.] I’m a pessimist. I’ve learned through experience that most things go wrong, whether in the world or in my life. Still, I never completely lose hope. If I didn’t have hope, frankly, I would stop moving
Continue readingA few words about Donald Trump’s campaign success Donald Trump is the ordinary American’s id. The id, of course, is our most basic intelligence, the one that gives us the atavistic reflexes that recognize danger and act on it to stay alive. Trump has cut through the political correctness that
Continue readingI did it again — I let my inbox get out of hand, so much so that I woke up this morning to discovery over a thousand unread emails in the email accounts for which I’m responsible. Going through them isn’t my favorite activity (too much guilt about emails I
Continue readingI found myself in conversation today with a Progressive who thought that Obama’s oval office address was just wonderful. “What did you like about it?” I asked him. “It was a very mature speech,” the Progressive replied, “and he said what I would have said.” Of course I asked, “What
Continue readingOne doesn’t have to be psychic to predict what Obama will say. It’s always the same old Leftist pabulum. Although finally forced to acknowledge that the San Bernardino attack was terrorism, he worked desperately hard to stick to that old “lone wolf” narrative. (I won’t repeat my take on the
Continue readingInspired by Marie Kondo’s advice that true organization begins with throwing out everything that is neither useful nor sentimental, I am continuing to plow through every nook and cranny in my house. This is the first organization system that’s made sense to me, which is why I haven’t already given
Continue readingThis poster is populating my Facebook feed, courtesy of the many Progressives I number among my real-me friends: I find it a rather fascinating poster because of the underlying assumption that the items in the list are comparable in terms of either our ability to challenge these risks, the direction
Continue readingIt’s not a very deep dive to plumb the depths of Leftist intellectual positions on most issues, but it’s still a worthwhile exercise to expose the fallacies that they use to try to dominate the debate on pressing issues — with the most pressing issue being whether to admit Syrian
Continue readingRobert Tracinski wrote an excellent article calling Obama the worst president ever. I urge you to read it. His opening point, which is that Obama is bored by the disasters he’s let loose in the world,and excited only about fighting to deprive Americans of their Second Amendment rights got me
Continue readingI’ve made no secret of the fact that I support Ted Cruz. I realize he’s not perfect, but no candidate is. What matters to me is that his political values most closely align with mine, that he’s not scared of a fight (and, especially, he’s not scared of the media),
Continue readingI’ve never watched Homeland. Perhaps I should: (Do you get the feeling the show was written in some alternative reality of Hollywood? Ordinary Hollywood doesn’t think that way.)
Continue readingMy Progressive Facebook friends have received their marching orders from Democrat central and the result has been a cascade of stupid cluttering up my Facebook feed. (This is the curse of a life spent living in Blue zones.) Lest I say something unforgivable to people whose good will I need
Continue readingWith France now following in Russia’s lead and going after ISIS in Syria, people are asking why Obama is not being more aggressive in his approach to taking out ISIS. The French air attack on ISIS’s Raqqa headquarters, munitions depot, and recruiting station revealed that America has excellent intelligence on ISIS because it

Here goes: Only conservatives are paying attention In an attempt to deflect attention of Muslim depredations in Paris, the Left and its foot soldiers (all of whom seem to be my Facebook friends) immediately
Continue readingThe Obama administration and the current crop of Democrat presidential candidates have backbones of steel when it comes to their refusal to finger “radical Islam” as the perpetrator of violent terrorism around the world. If England and America had practiced that same policy back in 1939 and 1942, we would all be
