Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
After 40 years on the receiving end of non-stop Iranian aggression, Trump changed the game and answered back in kind — and the Democrats are horrified. Trump just changed the game with Iran. Iran has spent the past 40 years as the single greatest destabilizing influence in the Middle East

With Obama’s presidency winding down, Bill Whittle takes a look at every one of his disastrous foreign policy initiatives. No one can doubt that, in the last seven years, Obama has consistently betrayed America’s friends and emboldened, and strengthened, her enemies. Sadly, the blood that will be spilled in coming
Continue readingSome of my harder-Left friends on Facebook are going crazy with posters again, so I thought this would be a good time to deconstruct a few of them. Let’s start with this one, which requires its own post. (Incidentally, the fact that it takes just one sentence to spin out
Continue readingAnother day, another incredible collection of articles I think you’ll like, all of which I’ve tried to present in a way that’s both interesting and brief. Yet another government lie. Is everything we think we know about the cost of living data false? And worse, is the actual cost of
Continue reading[This is a long one, good for a cozy read on a winter day.] I’m a pessimist. I’ve learned through experience that most things go wrong, whether in the world or in my life. Still, I never completely lose hope. If I didn’t have hope, frankly, I would stop moving
Continue readingI haven’t quite reconciled myself to the fact that today is Wednesday. I feel as if I’m caught in a perpetual Monday loop. Between work emergencies and Mom’s doctor appointments time, as Steve Miller said, “keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future.” I’ve got a backlog of articles that
Continue readingMy post title notwithstanding, I am well, I have been well, and I expect that I will continue to be well. It’s just that I’ve spent between five and fifteen hours every week for the last few weeks in doctors’ offices thanks to my mother and my kids, all of
Continue readingNo, you’re not imagining it. Yes, I have been AWOL. The legal work has finally tapered off, but other things have filled the vacuum, taking up both my time and energy. Some of them are very nice things but, much as I love you all, I can’t share them here.
Continue readingAnother Prager University video. I wish that my children would go to Prager University rather than ending up in whatever “credentialed” university admits them/they choose. They would learn a great deal more from Prager’s incredible roster of lecturers (including himself) than they will in the four year indoctrination academy funded by
Continue readingAlan Dershowitz challenges the talk about boycotting Netanyahu’s speech Read and enjoy Alan Dershowitz’s fiery denunciation of the Obama administration’s efforts to get Democrats — especially black ones — to boycott Netanyahu’s speech about the existential threat Obama’s policies pose to Israel. I won’t comment on the article — it
Continue readingBefore I even get to Obama’s speech, a word about nomenclature. Most Americans refer to an organization called “ISIS” (“Islamic State of Iraq and Syria”). Obama refers to an organization called “ISIL” (“Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant”). The latter encompasses more territory, so Obama is actually being more
Continue readingBefore you start hammering away at me, let me explain what I mean about my claim that the sacrifice the SEALS and their rescuers made during Operation Red Wings was indeed a waste. I am referring, of course, to Jake Tapper’s asking Marcus Luttrell whether his comrades died in vain.
Continue readingAn online magazine called Jezebel bills itself as the “Home of Shiny Happy Ladies.” Jezebel might want to rethink that tag line if a post that Madeline Davis wrote about George Bush is anything to go by. As best as I can tell, the trigger for Davis’s fevered post is
Continue readingPeggy Noonan, who can be very good, talks about how Obama got us into this mess and the contortions in which he engage to save face. Peter Wehner talks about just how bad this mess really is, even with Putin having given Obama an out. A Politico article about the
Continue readingI promise that this post will be a review of Marcus Luttrell’s Service: A Navy SEAL at War. First, though, I have to start with the ridiculous, before I can give proper context, not to the sublime (because war isn’t sublime), but to the important and meaningful. The ridiculous is,
