Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Obama’s adversarial relationship with Christianity What did we expect already from yesterday’s Prayer Breakfast? Obama long ago put the world on notice that he’s going full Bulworth (i.e., after six years in office, he intends, finally, to stop lying and speak the truth). While before Obama just let out peevish little
Continue readingISIS is escalating its death cult antics, so the usual suspects are decrying the fact that King Abdullah of Jordan is leading his troops to battle against ISIS. I think it’s time for a little moral clarity: And yes, I’m fully aware that Jordan lives in a twilight area between Middle
Continue readingIt’s been pouring paying clients lately, which is a good thing but, as always, it cuts into my blogging time. I’ll skip the preliminaries and throw myself in the round-up. It’s a bad thing when our president is happy My Mom, in commenting on the state of the world today,
Continue readingWow! Can you imagine if American elections had commercials this good? It plays at so many levels: Superficially, it’s just plain funny. It also subtly and ably attacks the candidates running against Netayanhu. Lastly, at a very visceral level, the commercial forces voters to ask themselves which candidate will best
Continue readingWhen Greek voters elected a hard-Left politician who promised to reverse austerity, Paul Krugman celebrated wildly. In a column filled with economic cant, he explained that it was always a disaster for Greece to turn to austerity when its economy collapsed, instead of spending its way out of its financial woes:

This time, it happened in Tel Aviv (if story doesn’t load, click on word “post,” below): Post by StandWithUs.
Continue readingAt a lawyer level, this has been a somewhat frustrating day, with me struggling to fit my facts (always true and honest ones) to the law (which sometimes refuses to cooperate), capped by a power outage that lost me an hour of time. Add to that the usual cries for
Continue readingHuffington Post leans Left. It is not a media outlet that believes that the only way to destroy the jihadist mindset is to wipe it out from top to bottom. Instead, HuffPo’s editorial policy makes clear that, in keeping with most major media outlets, it’s very certain that, somewhere out there, there’s
Continue readingOne of the things that’s frustrating for conservatives is to see that stupidity is ascendant in our culture. And by stupidity I mean something very specific, which is that Leftists routinely use incoherence, ignorance and a complete lack of logic to challenge purely factual statements (or obviously humorous ones), and
Continue readingParis is under jihadist siege. The head of British intelligence promises that the West (mostly England, apparently) can expect another mass jihadist attack. My question is why are Muslims attacking Europe at all? Well, of course, part of the answer is that, like the scorpion, jihadists attack and kill because it’s their

Continue readingParisians apparently turned out en masse to honor the Charlie Hebdo murder victims. It’s too late to wonder whether these weeping Parisians could have prevented this massacre if, over the years, they’d shown the same courage as the Charlie Hebdo editor, cartoonists, and staff. Perhaps if they’d stood up for their culture,
Continue readingThe main story today is the brutal Islamic terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo, the Parisian humor magazine that had the courage to do what few in the world are willing to do: ridicule Mohamed. Because Charlie Hebdo stood alone in the face of an ideology devoted to murderous censorship, its

I’ll let the Times explain: Opposition to the rising numbers is growing. The far-right, anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats had
