Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I wasn’t able to watch the Hillary hearings (and doubt if I could have stomached them in any event), but one of my friends followed them on and off throughout the day, and had this to say: I was able to stomach bits and pieces of the Hildabeast hearings, but

Continue readingTom Cotton on the Democrats’ “outrage” that Republicans are “politicizing” Benghazi: On the subject of the upcoming hearings, Charles Krauthammer has some good advice: The select committee will be headed by Rep. Trey Gowdy, a skilled 16-year prosecutor. He needs to keep the hearings clean and strictly fact-oriented. Questions only,
Continue readingThis post is about the administration’s new tactic to get out from under the painful weight of the Ben Rhodes Benghazi email which establishes pretty definitively that the administration immediately began a cover-up after Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Tyrone S. Woods were murdered. But before I
Continue readingWag The Dog was a clever black comedy about a president hiring a Hollywood producer to trick the public into believing there was a war in Albania in order to distract the public from a sex scandal right before an election. The movie came out in 1997, and became forever
Continue readingThe American media won’t touch Benghazi with a ten foot pole, since there is no way that either Hillary or Obama come out of it looking good. The Europeans, however, are not so squeamish. (Hat tip: Snoopy the Goon, a fellow Watcher’s Council member who blogs out of Israel at
Continue readingEarl Aagaard caught something in the very first line of an AP report about the fact that Nakoula Basseley Nakoula is about to be freed from prison. If Nakoula’s name doesn’t ring a bell, let me refresh your recollection. Nakoula posted on YouTube a short video that purported to be
Continue readingDarryl Issa has tweeted out one of the most appalling photographs I’ve ever seen emerge from the United States House of Representatives. Today the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held a hearing about events in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. You remember what happened on that day, don’t you?

If you’d like something a little meatier to read now that you’ve already clicked over to Bookworm Room, may I recommend my post discussing how the IRS scandal makes it possible to compare Obama to Henry II,

Continue readingI wrote a long post at Mr. Conservative about Barack Obama’s potential vulnerability to serious action based upon his conduct as president. Some of the post expresses my thoughts, some of it is more a reflection of others’ ideas. I’ll post here the redacted version that’s pure me. I’d like
Continue reading(I wrote another post yesterday for Mr. Conservative that is pure Bookworm Room — so much so that I almost hesitated to put it on the Mr. Conservative site. I did, though, because I had deadlines. And now I’m publishing it here, in slightly modified form, so that I can
Continue reading(This is another Mr. Conservative post that perfectly reflects my views on the subject. If you’d like to join the Special Operations Speaks’ petition, you can find it here.) For the past several months, the administration has worked hard to keep the public focused on gun control and gay marriage,
Continue readingAnd another post that’s pure me, only it showed up at Mr. Conservative first: It shouldn’t have been complicated – if you’re responsible for the president’s huge, hi-tech, armor-plated, gas guzzling limo, and if that car is taking a trip overseas with the president, you make sure that everyone knows
Continue readingCongressional Republicans have been working hard lately at something we all should care about — talking to the Benghazi survivors. Sen. Lindsay Graham has been making it something of a personal crusade. As far as he’s concerned, there’s a cover-up going on: Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, in an extensive interview
