Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Talking to my child and reading about a friends’ child, left me wondering whether it’s enough to believe in God without God also believing in you. For many decades, I’ve counted among my friends a married couple made up of two of the nicest, most decent people in the world.

Without Western Civilization, we veer dangerously close to reverting to our pagan roots — roots watered with the blood of human sacrifice. For millennia, Jews have forbidden human sacrifice. Although there are myriad more sophisticated interpretations examining the Biblical narrative about the Binding of Isaac, the most basic interpretation was

Rather than demanding that politicians and white people fix a broken culture, American blacks need a Great Awakening that repairs them from the inside out. A year after requesting Ron Chernow’s Alexander Hamilton from my local library, my copy arrived this morning, and I’ve been reading away. I’ve just reached

Some faiths really are better — I accept those that uplift & improve (e.g., Christianity); I reject those that control & destroy (e.g., Climate Change). On my recent trip, I ended up talking to a very bright man who believes unquestioningly that Big Foot (aka Sasquatch) exists — and he
Continue readingA roll up for today to fill the void of Ms. BWR’s absence. The picture comes from People’s Cube and their latest magazine offering Comey, Trump, the Justice Dept. and Special Counsel Victor Davis Hanson, writing at American Greatness, gives an excellent summation of the progressive jihad aimed at toppling President

Today, for the first time, I noticed striking differences between the Islamic and Judeo-Christian traditions involving both happiness and predestination. Daniel Greenfield wrote about the interview Chelsea Handler did with Kumail Nanjiani, the Muslim star of HBO’s “Silicon Valley.” He complained that popular culture fails to focus on what fun
Continue readingI had a lovely day today because I got to meet one of my readers. I’ve also been packing for a trip I’m taking. Don’t worry, though, because Wolf Howling will try his darndest to post — and when he tries, he usually succeeds. In the meantime, I’m working on

Tonight marks the beginning of Passover 5778. Donald Trump’s targeted attack on Syria indicates that he understands the import of this timeless story. In mid-2009, a few months into Barack Obama’s presidency, Iran had its Green Revolution, when tens of thousands of brave Iranians took to the streets in Tehran

Fifty years of mis-education in American schools culminates when a lawyer provides a laundry list of myths to justify claiming the existence of a Christian ISIS. A couple of days ago, the internet was abuzz with excitement because Qasim Rashid (Twitter name @MuslimIQ), an attorney and Muslim, claiming to have

With his usual acuity, Dennis Prager explains that true morality exists only if there is a God. Absent God, people just opine about what they like or dislike. The phrase “moral relativism” gets thrown around a lot. The Right things it’s bad; the Left thinks it’s good — indeed, that

When I grew up as Jewish girl in a Merry Christmas society, I said Merry Christmas right back. I’ve always loved Christmas in America. I love the songs, the lights, the colors, the good cheer, and I’ve always been grateful that I live in a country that happily and generously shares its

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

Wolf Howling sent me a very beautiful passage from the diary of a French Huguenot who arrived in South Carolina in the 1680s. Here’s the quotation, bracketed with some history to explain the context in which it arose. All of it comes from The History of South Carolina Under the Proprietary Government
Continue readingOne of the keystones of the Protestant Reformation was the notion that priests were no longer necessary to bring people into contact with God. Up until the Reformation, Catholic priests were seen as an absolutely necessary intermediary. No matter how corrupt the individual priest (and if Boccaccio and Chaucer are

My brilliant friend is Wolf Howling, who has spent the last few years delving deeply into the American Revolution and its causes. He wrote here
