Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Ebola in America is a failure of Big Government Yesterday I pointed out that, in all times and all places, protecting a population from epidemic disease is one of government’s core functions. (It’s irrelevant that these efforts often failed; government was still expected to make them.) Obama is failing that
Continue readingAll day today, I kept heading up to my computer to read and blog, and every time I neared my office, a powerful domestic and/or maternal and/or social tractor beam pulled me away. At last, though, I broke free of the tractor beam and I’m here, trying frantically to impart
Continue readingYet another day where I start with an apology for not writing more or writing sooner. I had what I think is a fairly severe arthritis flair-up, loaded myself up with anti-inflammatory meds, and took a long nap. Thankfully, I’m feeling better and moving easier, so it’s time to write!
Continue readingI started a long post a few days ago, because I thought I saw a common thread linking Ray Rice, women in combat, the Rotherham sex scandal, etc., but I just couldn’t control all that material. The short version of my theory is that women in the West have never
Continue readingI’ve got about 30 tabs open. They’re memory hogs, so I want to share their contents with you as quickly as possible so that I can shut them down and look for more stuff. Hold onto your hats, ’cause this is going to be quick: Voices inside administration challenge Obama’s
Continue readingAmerica’s educational institutions aren’t taking antisemitism seriously — despite the mount of proof (often from the killers themselves) showing that tens of millions have died from antisemitism over the centuries. Meanwhile, as antisemitism surges unchecked on America’s campuses, schools are taking very seriously fracking, even in the absence of any
Continue readingI’m someone who knows the Holocaust happened and who believes strongly that anthropogenic global warming (“AGW”) or “climate change” is a scam driven by greed, hostility to western accomplishments, and Gaia-worship run amok. I’ve therefore found deeply offensive the repeated charge over the past several years from the AGW crowd
Continue readingI’ve written before about Mark Steyn’s epic battle and equally epic Answer and Counterclaim in the suit that discredited “Hockey Stick” artiste, Michael Mann filed against him and the National Review. What I forgot to tell you is that there is a way you can help Mark Steyn, who
Continue readingBack in October, I wrote about one of my children’s classmates at high school. This kid is handsome, athletic, and extremely popular. He also made disparaging remarks about Obamacare and illegal aliens without getting push-back from either students or teachers. Such is the power of popularity. That kid’s at it
Continue readingI want you to play a little game with me. Imagine that you’re an archivist, going through Nazi-era German documents. While doing that review, you stumble across the following article, published in a reputable Nazi business magazine: The next time you hear someone dispute that Aryans are the superior race,
Continue readingNPR didn’t mean to offer a perfect example of how an unfalsifiable, infallible theory works. It’s stated goal was to have people better understand what a polar vortex is. However, when it chose to interview “Andrew Freedman, senior science writer for Climate Central, an independent non-profit organization that researches and
Continue readingWe got solar panels several years ago. We did so (a) because certain members of our household are greenies and (b) because we got huge government subsidies. These subsidies weren’t enough to make the panels affordable for working class households, but they were funded, in part, by those same working
Continue readingBe careful what you wish for; you might get it. First story: Even as they’re trapped in impenetrable summer ice in the Antarctic, global warming fanatics insist that sea ice is disappearing. A 1912 video reveals that it’s disappeared before, and that it undoubtedly will again — only not this
Continue readingFor a decade, those liberals who know that I think that anthropogenic global warming is a scam that was invented to make some people very rich (AlBore, is that you?), even while it transfers vast sums of wealth from the First World to the Third World, have called me some
Continue readingOne of the things that drives me bonkers-nutso about the green movement is the way that it subsidizes rich people when they make “green” purchases. I dislike subsidies generally, because they’re a form of wealth redistribution. But I really dislike it when government takes taxpayer money and hands it over
