Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Despite any actual evidence, Elizabeth Warren sticks resolutely to her claim that she is 1/32 Native American. This is how crazy people think. Do you know how I know that? Because I just watched Bowfinger with the kids. Bowfinger, which was made in 1999, when one could still be at
Continue readingEd Driscoll has the best wrap-up I’ve seen of the bombshell report that Barack Obama either told his literary agent that he was born in Kenya or, when she made a mistake to that effect, was happy to let that mistake sit around, uncorrected, until 2007. Ed’s point, like mine,
Continue readingFor the MSM, the George Zimmerman thing has turned out to be a bust. With the exception of the fact that Trayvon Martin is still dead, everything the MSM first reported about the case has proven to be untrue. Right about now, you’d think that the media would be engaged
Continue reading“Facts are stubborn things.” I love that quotation. John Adams said it back in 1774 when he took on the unpopular job of defending the British troops charged with the killings in the event now known as the Boston Massacre. Arguing off those same stubborn facts, Adams was able to
Continue readingSubject to a very few exceptions, I don’t see movies during their first runs in movie theaters. Instead, I see them when they’re released on DVD. That’s why I’m only watching The Help now. (The Help is a movie about black maids in the early 1960s in Jackson, Mississippi.) Before
Continue readingThe usual crowd of race hustlers, including Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the New Black Panthers and Barack Obama, have been making as much hay as possible out of Trayvon Martin’s death. Clearly, they think that this episode has ballot potential in November. I can see only one way in which
Continue readingSequestered here on the Left Coast I hadn’t paid any attention to the Trayvon Martin murder. Today, though, it forced itself into the forefront of my brain. As the media spins the story, it’s a horrific case of a very wholesome, very young black man cruelly executed in a “safe,”
Continue readingJerry Brown has nominated Teveia Barnes to be the new commissioner for California’s Department of Financial Institutions. This means that she is the ultimate regulatory authority for more than 300 California-chartered banks and other financial institutions. Barnes has an impressive resume, including a lengthy stint as associate general counsel and
Continue readingWhen I was growing up, February boasted Lincoln’s birthday (February 16 12) and Washington’s birthday (February 22). When I was no longer a child, those two distinct birthdays — one celebrating America’s first commander in chief and first president, and the other one celebrating the architect of our modern union
Continue readingIt’s a family stuff day, so blogging has been light, and will continue to be so. Fortunately, I’ve got friends who send me interesting things which I am so happy to pass on to you. In no particular order: Wolf Howling has written a fascinating, scholarly dissertation examining the adversarial
Continue readingDuane Lester, whose main blogging home is All American Blogger, has come up with a brilliant idea. He’s set up a site that simply lists all the things that are “racist” in Barack Obama’s America. Here’s a snippet from Now Racist in the U.S.: Any Political Opposition to President Obama •
Continue readingDespite the fact that Republicans are currently busy working the circular firing squad, making outside efforts to destroy them somewhat redundant, the Progressives/Democrats/Media/Usual Suspects aren’t taking any chances about the November 2012 election and have already brought out the big gun: They’re crying racism. The racism claim that got the
Continue readingIt’s not only conservatives who have noticed that the waning OWS movement was pretty much whiter than white. Black activist preachers have noticed the same thing and are trying to mobilize their congregants to get out there to camp on sidewalks like homeless people along with the white drug-addicted, violent
Continue readingA few years ago, those in the know were telling us in no uncertain terms that the EU model was the future — and that America had better get used to playing second fiddle to the economic giant that a united Europe presented. I found it hard to imagine that
Continue readingI regularly read James Taranto’s Best of the Web and always enjoy his “Life imitates the Onion” or “Life imitates South Park” shticks. Imagine my surprise today, when I realized that, this time around, life is imitating a very silly satire I did at my blog almost exactly one year
