Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
[The video may take a few seconds to load.] Post by The Israel Project. And as an added bonus, a quotation from Richard Fernandez: The two suspects cornered in a building are sending a message with their unyielding violence that the political establishment has failed to understand. Multiculturalism is dead.
Continue readingIn today’s world, only a fraction (about 10%) of Muslims are or want to be terrorists. However — and this is the important point — the vast majority of terrorist acts are committed by those identifying themselves as Muslims. Believe it or not, though, but there’s an even greater threat to Americans today than
Continue readingI’m trying to think of ways to get the mentally flabby, but still impassioned, Progressives on my real-me Facebook feed to start figuring out that their way is not working. My latest effort was to post a link to the news story talking about how France’s Front National leader Marine
Continue readingParis is under jihadist siege. The head of British intelligence promises that the West (mostly England, apparently) can expect another mass jihadist attack. My question is why are Muslims attacking Europe at all? Well, of course, part of the answer is that, like the scorpion, jihadists attack and kill because it’s their
Continue readingParisians apparently turned out en masse to honor the Charlie Hebdo murder victims. It’s too late to wonder whether these weeping Parisians could have prevented this massacre if, over the years, they’d shown the same courage as the Charlie Hebdo editor, cartoonists, and staff. Perhaps if they’d stood up for their culture,
Continue readingThe main story today is the brutal Islamic terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo, the Parisian humor magazine that had the courage to do what few in the world are willing to do: ridicule Mohamed. Because Charlie Hebdo stood alone in the face of an ideology devoted to murderous censorship, its

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 readingThese links aren’t related to Christmas Eve. They are simply interesting things that came my way today, as I was getting my family ready for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. (To those new to the blog, although I’m Jewish, I was raised celebrating both Christmas and Hanukkah in entirely secular ways.
Continue readingDespite’s the Swedish government’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state (“We Swedes love Islam!”), not to mention Sweden’s amazingly generous welfare benefits, Sweden’s Muslims are checking out of the country. That’s the good news. The bad news? They’re heading to Syria and Iraq to fight on behalf of the most
Continue readingI am not using the phrase “gathering clouds” as a metaphor for the darkness that seems to be washing over the world. My statement has nothing to do with Ebola, amnesty, Iran and Russia ascendant, polio-like viruses, recession, racial tension, or any of the other blessings in Obama’s America. Instead,
Continue readingI went to the doctor yesterday for an ear infection and discovered that I have high blood pressure. The doctor’s not treating the problem yet, in case my blood pressure was spiked from my ear pain. I certainly hope that’s transitory pain is the reason. In two months, we’ll check again and see

The Canadian shooter: “Fox Butterfield, is that you?” If you recognize the quoted phrase above, it’s because you’ve seen it often enough in James Taranto’s Best of the Web. The “Fox Butterfield Fallacy,” Taranto explains, “consists in misidentifying as a paradox
