Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
The pause in North Korea negotiations reveals that the media is locked in a dangerous imaginary world where negotiations play out like bad old-time movies. To date, the stupid Leftists in the media have been trained like Pavlov’s dog to expect “a win” whenever there’s a summit with a foreign

The video that Trump showed to Kim Jong Un is a direct challenge to Obama’s Marxist predestination; it promises the triumph of great men with free will. President Obama always had a lot to say about history. More specifically, he had a lot to say about future history. As Obama

This illustrated edition is overflowing with the best takes on Trump’s triumphs at the G-7 and in Singapore. I am so loving the Trump presidency!

Kim Jong Un’s temper tantrum upon mention of Libya was predictable, so I’m betting Trump put that out there on purpose to continue using behaviorism on Kim. Back in my kids’ pre-school days, one of the moms told a very funny story. She had been struggling to get her three-year-old

Trump’s decision to change the paradigm with North Korea illustrates the precept in my annual Passover post: Tyrannies must be decapitated, not placated. Starting with Bill Clinton, America fawned over North Korea’s tyrannical rulers, sending them money and promising not to hurt them. In those same years, North Korea’s rulers

Wow! In an epic tweet, Trump really spelled it out to North Korea’s Kim Jong-Un. It’s going to be wild if the rest of 2018 is like this. North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from

Given a vexing, dangerous, and complicated problem like North Korea, Progressives reduce the issue to school-boy sniggering about sexual prowess. One of the things that distinguishes Progressives from Conservatives is that the former are certain that they’re very smart. For example, they point out that wealthy Blue enclaves have a

After 24-years of American bribes and pandering, North Korea has crossed a nuclear threshold. I’m interested in your opinions and ideas about this problem. It happened: North Korea crossed a major threshold on the way to becoming a fully nuclear state: North Korea has successfully produced a miniaturized nuclear warhead

If Bill Clinton and Al Gore couldn’t do it, then no one can. A Leftist Facebook friend posted an article from The Hill with a lede saying that Donald Trump “floats rolling back food safety regulations.” The implication, obviously, is that in Trump’s America, we’re all going to die from
Continue readingThese links aren’t related to Christmas Eve. They are simply interesting things that came my way today, as I was getting my family ready for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. (To those new to the blog, although I’m Jewish, I was raised celebrating both Christmas and Hanukkah in entirely secular ways.
Continue readingAs you’ve gathered, I do not support President Obama’s promised “show” strike against Syria to protest the Assad regime’s alleged use of toxic nerve gas against a community that presumably supported the al Qaeda rebels. To justify my position, I’ve pointed to the fact that there is no benefit to
Continue readingI’ve been wondering whether North Korea’s unusually heightened war rhetoric means that the missiles will really start to fly. Over at PowerLine, Steven Hayward has a different theory, which is depressing, but less worrisome. He thinks that Kim Jong-Un is no fool, and that he recognizes that the troika of
Continue readingKim Jong-Un has now established himself as a madman on steroids. He’s not doing the usual North Korean war games dance followed by demands for food and money. Instead, he’s declared that the Korean War, which was merely in abeyance, is reinstated and that North Korea is standing ready to
Continue readingI haven’t yet decided whether I’m unnerved by North Korea’s saber rattling. We’ve seen this before, starting in the 1990s, when the North Koreans figured out that, if they made the West sufficiently nervous, the West would bring offerings of food and money to the destitute totalitarian prison state, in
Continue readingThe headlines have been deeply disturbing: North Korea, led by an unstable 20-something, has reinstated war against the United States and South Korea after a fifty-plus year hiatus in active hostilities. Admittedly, North Korea hasn’t fired any shots yet, but its rhetorical volleys have been incendiary. Just yesterday, it cut
