Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
As drivers, we can too easily cause someone else’s traumatic death. As people of conscience, we must drive with relaxed rigor to avoid that outcome. The other day, I had an inconsequential, but extremely painful and somewhat sanguinary medical procedure. Although I was practicing deep breathing and thinking happy thoughts

I’m not feeling particularly inspired today, but this Bookworm Beat has some links I’d like to share with you, covering everything from politics to humor. Obergefell is worse than you imagined. Obergefell is the case in which Justice Kennedy, writing the romance novel of his life, found buried in the Constitution

For 8 years, my open threads have been depressing. This one, though, had me feeling remarkably cheerful as there’s a lot of good news under President Trump. I am very pleased with the airstrike President Trump ordered in Syria. Chemical weapons are a national security threat to every nation in

Looking at this grab-bag post, I can see the common thread: valuing tight-knit communities, nuclear families, and each individual’s worth. I know why Utah’s welfare is working. Megan McArdle wrote a much-talked-about article in which she looked at Utah, which has extremely good and affordable social services. The key to

Today’s news could be called Sociopath News, thanks to scheming politicians and bureaucrats, scary athletes, sex-crazed illegal aliens, and more. Officially, there’s no such thing as a “sociopath.” Sociopath is just lay person shorthand for someone with an antisocial personality disorder. So that we’re all on the same page here

This round-up post opens with the London terrorist attack, but also covers Trump and Obamacare, the Sudan, climate change, media bias, faith, and risky sex. In the wake of the deadly terrorist attack in London, people were remembering last year, when London’s first Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan, said that terrorism

I’ve cleared my spindle and the articles I linked are a feast for the hungry mind — the Middle East, climate change, policing, gender, Obamacare, and more. There’s land if the Palestinians want it. Did you know that President al-Sisi in Egypt has offered the Palestinians a state that would

I’ve promised myself not to tag any more posts until I clear those already cluttering the spindle — and they’re too good to let slip away. It’s time for government to get off its moral high horse. Victor Davis Hanson hits another home run with an article reminding Democrat leaders that

It all started when I took umbrage at the fact that companies were starting to boycott customers, a marked change from the usual free market model that saw customers boycotting companies. In response, I did a series of #BoycottTheBoycotters posts (this is the most recent), complete with charts identifying the

I’m sitting here in a glorious post-SOTU haze, thinking about the crazy world in which we live and hoping that Trump can find the path to fix it. I’m working on a project that will, I hope, come as a pleasant surprise to many of you. In the meantime, here’s

Can you smell something a bit Apocalyptic in the air? Things are getting fraught as the Left pushes the social and political system closer to the edge. Our we at end times? I’ve got a few well-written, fact-laden posts to share with you here, all of which are quite worried

The great thing about the Leftists’ continuing mental breakdown well into the third week of President Trump’s administration is that they contribute endless material to great political posters. Looking at these posters, no wonder I’m viewing every day of the Trump presidency as better than any birthday. He’s imperfect, of

Full disclosure: I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. I am boycotting the Super Bowl, because I have not forgiven it for how it enthusiastically allowed Kaepernick (whom the 49ers are releasing) to politicize what should have remained non-political. Having said that, I’m glad the Patriots won because, politically speaking, it’s

Trump’s been in office 11 days and the Left is already in full treat retreat from reality. And if you have any doubts about that, reviewing this collection of posters will confirm that the hard Left (about 33% of the population, at a guess) is truly unhinged. And for our
