Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
When multiple people send me a link to the same story, it’s obvious that I must talk about it. The story, which seems impossible to believe but is in fact true, concerns the Swede’s creative approach to dealing with those “youths” who are currently entering their sixth (or is it

From birth, we are programmed to recognize faces and voices. It’s the human face and the mind behind it that separate us, not only from other animals, but from
Continue readingThe elephant in the middle of the room that no one seems to want to look at is that there are people in this country, perhaps many people, who have been welcomed into this country, lived here for quite a while, embraced by Americans and treated kindly, who smile at
Continue readingAs was to be expected (and all of you predicted), the media is rushing to indict . . . America for having failed to give two Chechen immigrant brothers the love they needed. Because of this, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26 years old, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19 old, became disaffected losers longing to

Continue readingI noted when I was in London that the City was filled with obvious Muslims (by which I mean burqa-ed and hijab-ed women, and their male escorts). London, though, still felt like a modern western city. Not so other cities in Europe. Andrew McCarthy explains why, and warns us that
Continue readingI’m deeply impressed by the integrity of those peace activists who are willing to challenge Obama, just as they did Bush. They are free from the hypocrisy of those who took to the streets for one president while giving the next a pass. Having said that, war is a useful
Continue readingIn the wake of Weinergate, a lot of people were pointing out that Weiner left himself open to some serious blackmail. Given the fact that he’s not a fishmonger but is, instead, a member of Congress, the blackmail implications affect all of us. It turns out, though, that this may
Continue readingThis morning, my friend Kim Priestap sent a group of us an email telling about the Yemeni man arrested for trying to yank open the cockpit door while hollering the standard “Allahu Akbar!” Lee DeCovnik thinks we might have been seeing a dry run. The man apparently raced from one

Continue readingThere are a lot of University of California campuses: UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC San Francisco (medical school only), UCLA, UC Santa Cruz, UC Santa Barbara, UC Riverside, UC Irvine, etc. Oh, about those last two: UC Irvine and UC Riverside have become the hotbeds of pro-Palestinian, anti-Jewish activism. The

According to this article in the Wall Street Journal, Israel’s unusually large and high-quality shale oil reserves may yield as much oil as all of Saudi Arabia’s proven oil reserves. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703806304576242420737584278.html These discoveries are in addition to of Israel’s recently diclosed gas

Back then, the rebels were not our enemy, and they were fighting a sworn enemy against whom we’d been engaged

Individual practitioners of the faith may, periodically and superficially, espouse the culture in which they live, but the fact remains that Islam, by its nature, is the Borg. Borg-like, the Islam collective’s motto is
