Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
As a North Carolina professor shows, wokeists aren’t merely evil (although they are very evil). They are also grossly ignorant. The University of North Carolina, a taxpayer-funded institution, teaches a course called “Global Whiteness.” That’s wrong right off the bat and illegal under the 1964 Civil Rights Act. It’s hate-filled

This is my last post about Japan, and it contains a few random thoughts tied to my visit to Kyoto and Osaka. And when I say random, I do mean random…. Japan is exquisite — and its people compulsive. There are a few obvious things to say about Japan. It

After a couple of hours of much-needed rest, we hit the Osaka nightlife. Las Vegas will, forever more, look staid and boring by comparison.

Still too tired for words (we walked more than 35 miles in four days, much of it on hills and stairs, often with only Crunky crispy chocolates keeping me going), so I’ll let the pictures speak for me.

Again, way too tired to post but here are pictures:

I’d meant to do a long, ruminative post about Japan, but after a day spent visiting temples and shrines in Kyoto, which meant walking 11 miles, much of it up and down stairs), I’m too tired. Instead, I’ll just share some things that caught my eye:

One of my friends sent me a joke about care for the elderly. Then I read the news and discovered that, thanks to demographic decline, it’s no joke in Japan. My email and my news reading converged today. In the morning, I discovered a very funny joke in my inbox

Domestic drudgery is over and blogging beings begins. Yay! The establishment is very afraid of Donald Trump. Thomas Lifson is correct that it is outrageous for U.S. “Intelligence” officials to try to sabotage Trump’s campaign by saying they’re afraid to give him intelligence briefings. This would be despicable under any

I know it happened last week, but I’m still processing Obama’s visit to Hiroshima. There are three things I want to share with you, starting with the Leftist take and then leaving the gutter and heading for the high ground, where intelligence and morality live. The Leftist take revealed itself in a

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?
Continue readingIf you haven’t read Jerome K. Jerome’s charming Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow, first published in 1886, I recommend it. It is a pleasant antidote to today’s Sturm und Drang. But if you like to be mentally perturbed, you can’t do better than to read this post. All animals

I’m feeling especially smug (and tired) tonight because my heroic 1:30 a.m. efforts yesterday were the difference between success and ignominious failure on
Continue readingI know this is going to surprise those of you used to my usual output of posts, but I’m suffering from writer’s block. The last few weeks have been so chaotic, my opportunities to write so random and infrequent, and the news of the world so overwhelming that, now that

Instead, HuffPo’s editorial policy makes clear that, in keeping with most major media outlets, it’s very certain that, somewhere out there, there’s
