Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
America is a divided country in part because half of Americans live in a fantasy land, predicated on fear and gossip, and entirely unrelated to reality. (This is a companion post to the No. 7 Bookworm Room Podcast, which is embedded at the bottom of this post, or which you

If we are to remain a nation of laws, then the people who manifestly engineered a coup against duly elected President Trump need to be called to account. Can you believe that it is 2019 and Trump has, to this moment at least, survived a coup attempt? I did not

A visit from a young friend reminds me how toxic envy darkened my childhood and how Progressives still control their voters by stirring up that envy. In about an hour, I’m getting a visit from a friend. This isn’t just any friend, though. This is a breathtakingly gorgeous 21-year-old Irish-Catholic

To help keep ourselves grounded over the screams from the Left, it’s periodically helpful to contrast Progressive belief systems with reality. When I read the news of late, I keep thinking of the ancient proverb that serves as a title to this post: “Whom the Gods would destroy they first

When it comes to “authentic black voices,” a young black woman today and a Jewish comedian from 45 years ago both put the race hustlers in their place. Proving herself the inheritor of the Jim Crow mantle, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) announced that only those speaking in racial voices she
Continue readingWe still do not know whether the DNC, FBI and DOJ acted unlawfully to create an October surprise that would elect Hillary in 2016, nor do we know beyond reasonable doubt that Seth Rich’s murder was unrelated. Two recent articles raise important issues regarding the Russia hoax. At Real Clear

I know it’s counter-intuitive, but global warming might turn America’s vast southern desert into useful arable land. When driving through the deserts of New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern California, my educated brain knows that those barren looking lands are, in fact, teeming with life. Plants that look ugly and scrubby

Scott Adams errs badly in excusing Antifa on the grounds that it’s just risk-craving young men having fun committing non-lethal violence against bad guys. When Scott Adams first heard about the way Antifa brutally attacked gay Vietnamese-American journalist Andy Ngo, he was as outraged as any decent person would be.

The Democrat Debates were indeed boring, but they were also a wonderful insight into Democrat policies and candidate strengths and weaknesses. I watched both of the Democrat debates. I’ve now had 43 hours to ruminate about Wednesday’s debate and 19 hours to ruminate about Thursday’s debate. That’s given me a

The Benjamin Wittes “I believe” tweetstorm about Trump, intended to expose conservative “Doublethink,” instead exposed Leftist irrationality and ignorance. The anti-Trump blogosphere, both Leftists and #NeverTrumpers, is excited about an endless series of tweets from Benjamin Wittes all intended, in a sarcastic way, to challenge Trump and his supporters. Before

With the 2020 election in sight, Google is doing more than censoring content; it’s trying to change how people think to alter permanently how they vote. Legislation is too slow — and potentially too dangerous, given the power it hands to government\ — to affect this problem in time to

In 2009, Ravelry first silenced, then banned conservatives. To prepare for 2020, it’s resurrecting the playbook, as are other social media sites. Yesterday, Ravelry, one of the largest fiber arts social media sites, with a member roster 8,000,000 strong, made the equivalent of a loud, rude farting sound in the

Ravelry, one of the biggest fiber art social media networks, identifies Trump supporters as “white supremacists” and asks its community to help police them. If you do any type of fiber crafts — knitting, quilting, crocheting, etc. — you’re familiar with Ravelry. It’s a very well-organized social network dedicated to

I don’t doubt that our National Parks are in need of repair, but some of them might find extra funds if they’d stop their climate change virtue signaling. The Daily Caller reports that America’s National Parks are in a state of extreme disrepair: The most iconic U.S. national parks need

Thinking about Jack Phillips’ martyrdom at the hands of the QueerBorg leads me to a proposal for ending Leftist social media and search engine monopolies. Jack Phillips, the Colorado baker, is rapidly being forced into martyrdom thanks to rabid Leftists intent upon making him an example of the need to
