Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
When I watched that badly wounded female deputy care for her partner, all I could think of was a mother caring for her child. (The female deputy is Claudia Apolinar, a former librarian.) I’d set aside time to write today, only to have my time hijacked by my children —

A polite letter from police in Marin County had a sting at the end that seemed the first step in the journey to Melbourne’s new police state. In terms of miles, the distance between Marin County and Brisbane, Australia, is 7,869 miles (or 12,663.93 km for those doing the meter

I spent a large part of the day talking about guns, thinking about police and guns, and handling guns. That’s what this post is about. Today was a gun day. It began when a friend who strongly supports the Second Amendment nevertheless wondered why police shoot people who end up

License to Kill : The Murder of Erik Scott — detailing the corruption and incompetence that allowed Las Vegas police to get away with murder. “This is like living in a third world country, not America.” — Linda Scott, mother of Erik Scott. It’s been over eight years now, but

Leftists have a habit of distracting conservatives with irrelevant arguments that obscure the fact that, on the important issues, conservatives should win. It’s happened to all of us. We approach someone with a legitimate grievance — say, for example, reminding someone that he promised not to drink directly from the
Continue reading“Death Wish” (2018) by The Closet Conservative Is this a movie that has Liberals squirming in their seats? Absolutely… A movie that is a Conservatives wet dream? Perhaps… A movie that will live in your minds as an all-time classic? Doubtful… A movie that will make you smile, laugh uncomfortably,

As far as I’m concerned, the nation of Israel is usually unfairly maligned. However, Sheriff Scott Israel really does give Israel a bad name. As far as I’m concerned, Israel is unfairly maligned, especially on the Left and in the media (but I repeat myself). The sole classically liberal representative

A former police officer’s tale about the 1979 White Night riots in San Francisco shows a disturbing pattern when you have a Leftist police chief or mayor. I spoke yesterday with a friend, a former San Francisco police officer, who told me something very interesting about the White Night riots
Continue readingGetting news from 60 Minutes is like getting news from the village idiot, as shown by its ludicrous segment on Terence Crutcher. Last night, 60 Minutes devoted two segments to the Terence Crutcher shooting. As you may recall, in September 2016, Betty Shelby, a police officer in Tulsa, came upon

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

The American media suddenly discovers antisemitism in America. You know it’s not a coincidence when several mainstream media outlets that every non-conservative Jew reads suddenly announce that Donald Trump’s supporters are crazed antisemites. These are, of course, the same media outlets that have been silent for years about the antisemitism at

Obama spokesman Josh Earnest revealed a deeper truth when he said of US engagement with ISIS that we are “in a narrative fight.” How true. In all matters, the Left shapes a narrative untethered from reality — and then forced American law and culture to conform to this narrative. Nowhere

The Prager U video below, narrated by and based upon research from, Heather MacDonald is actually titled “Are The Police Racist?”. However, watch it and you will learn that modern-day Democrats have achieved something that the Social Darwinists of the 19th century, and the eugenicists of the 21st centuries could

Blacks and Muslims should be angry at their criminal cohorts, not at us. In the context of an article about political correctness, Andrew Klavan said something I’ve been struggling to say for some time. He acknowledges that blacks are on the receiving end of much more police activity, something frustrating

Gun control proponents have a problem. Irrefutable data shows that, since 1992, as American gun ownership has gone up, crime has gone down. When pressed about the dramatic decrease in crime, the best that the Left can do is to point to anything but the increase in privately held weapons:
