Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I don’t believe there is anyone in the world who knows more about the UN’s ugly obsession with Israel than Anne Bayefsky. In this short video, she nicely sums it up. Almost none of this is new to me, but I appreciate her calm, objective, organized approach to the information.
Continue readingIf this article is correct, Iran’s inherent systemic failures mean that it’s not as far along in developing a nuclear bomb as concerned Western nations have feared. But the article’s author goes on to ask what I can only call a really stupid question (emphasis mine): The news comes as
Continue readingLast week, we learned that President Obama was completely AWOL during the Benghazi attack. While Americans under his command were dying, he caught a few Zs. This week’s revelations are even uglier. Typically, the Daily Mail is very excited about those parts of a new book that discuss General Petraeus’
Continue readingMy sister and I got to talking yesterday about Richard III. He was, she said, a decent king during his two years and his administration was terribly maligned by subsequent Tudor historians and, especially, Shakespeare. She’s right. Contemporaneous records show that he was a good leader up in his home
Continue readingDefending your home against a break-in is about as personal as it gets. The following email is a good example of taking that personal principle, then expanding to a narrative about a single third party, and finally discussing the broader policy implications that affect all citiziens (h/t Earl): A LESSON
Continue readingI think Al Gore must have been behind this eco-friendly housing subdivision, because it’s making money for the rich and screwing every one else: Residents promised cheaper bills to live in a multi-million pound eco-friendly ‘homes of the future’ complex say they will have to move out after being hit

Continue reading“Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of York,” says the malevolent Richard III in Shakespeare’s eponymous play. Generations of Shakespearean actors have portrayed him is a sinister hunchback, greedily eying his brother’s throne and eventually murdering two young boys in order to obtain
Continue readingEvery time I watch a Bill Whittle video, I think to myself “This is incredibly good. It can’t get better than this.” And every time I’m wrong, because Bill Whittle’s astounding gift for powerful, honest insight and analysis keeps growing. Whittle reaches the top of his game — again! —
Continue readingThe Malians are thrilled, as they should be, and the French should be pretty darn proud themselves: Residents of Mali’s northern town of Gao, captured from sharia-observing Islamist rebels by French and Malian troops, danced in the streets to drums and music on Sunday as the French-led offensive also drove
Continue readingA few months ago, I read a wonderfully written, totally depressing book called, Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin. In it, author Timothy Snyder graphically described the way in which, during the 1930s and 1940s, the lands to the East of Berlin and West of Moscow were turned into killing
Continue readingIt’s no wonder Brits, contra Obama, want out of the EU. Aside from exerting nit-picky control over every aspect of British life, the EU makes it virtually impossible for Britain to stem the endless tide of immigrants coming in, legally or not, and immediately getting public benefits that are not
Continue readingIt’s hard to imagine a more politically incorrect belief system than Islam. The seriously Muslim world stands for women without legal rights or physical freedoms, wife beating, honor killings, child brides, capital punishment for female adultery, and capital punishment for homosexuality. President Barack Obama, however, feels that Turkey’s Erdogan, a
Continue readingMy post title says President Obama has been tactless of late. That’s not true. He’s always been tactless. Remember him denigrating handicapped people on the Jay Leno show? Lately, though, the President has upped his game. Last week, shortly before the Sandy Hook shooting that saw myriad children die, Obama
Continue readingAs far as the New York Times and the rest of American Progressives are concerned, those Americans who insist that they want to exercise their Second Amendment rights for self-protection are delusional and, quite possibly, nascent psychopathic killers. Guns are bad. Really, really bad. The evidence is irrelevant because .
