Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Absent another black swan appearing on the horizon, if I had to guess now, I’d say that today’s terrorist attack handed Trump the Republican nomination and, possibly, the White House. Other predictions: It will strengthen all of the nationalist parties springing up in Europe. Obama will play it “cool” because
Continue readingOpen any website dealing with the Muslim refugees in Europe, and you’re sure to find two different kinds of stories. The first kind of story tells about Muslims engaged in all sorts of inappropriate behavior, such as assaulting women, urinating or defecating in swimming pools, raping little boys, or just
Continue readingAnother day, another incredible collection of articles I think you’ll like, all of which I’ve tried to present in a way that’s both interesting and brief. Yet another government lie. Is everything we think we know about the cost of living data false? And worse, is the actual cost of
Continue reading[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 got an interesting email. I cleaned up the formatting, but otherwise replicate it here precisely as I received it: What is a Hijrah? (Why do I keep hearing “connect the dots”?) Large scale mass migrations become invasions and this actually appears to be a hijrah as he describes it
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 readingThis video is from 2007, when George “Islam is a religion of peace” Bush was still President, but it could have been created yesterday, and been just as accurate. Indeed, in light of Obama’s frantic efforts Sunday night to avoid placing the word “Islam” anywhere near the word “terrorism,” the
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 readingI’ve come across a few fascinating and delightful things and am tossing into this Bookworm Beat both posts and pictures: A study about Palestinian violence explains the “lone wolf” syndrome Every time Muslims commit mass murder in America, our elites in the Obama administration and the media (but I repeat

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 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 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
Continue readingMy thoughts are with the family and friends of those killed and wounded at Umpqua Community College today. I have only three things to note: Obama immediately demanded gun control; the campus has a “gun free zone” policy; and the shooter started to ask people their religion, but started shooting
