Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
It took me three glances to get the message in this picture, and then I thought it was brilliant: Hat tip: Michelle Malkin UPDATE: If you can’t see the image on my blog, just go on over to Michelle Malkin. There’s prescient Oliphant cartoon, but that’s not what I was
Continue readingAfter crowing about the cheese-eating surrender monkeys losing against to an American in the Tour de France, I find very depressing the report that Floyd Landis flunked a drug test. If a repeat drug test — with both samples drawn on the day of his extraordinary come-back — also test

Continue readingWhile most eyes (mine included) are focused on Israel’s northern and Lebanon’s southern borders, things are heating up in the Middle East. So much so that CENTCOM, rather than sending out a series of individual press releases, resorted to sending out a bunch of intriguing summaries that interested people may
Continue readingThe most recent New Yorker contains another call from the Left — this time from David Remnick — for an immediate cessation of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel: That strand of Middle Eastern optimism [the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza] is now a memory. Olmert is fighting a war on two

Continue readingToday, more than any other day since I’ve been blogging, the comments sections to several of my posts have just been buzzing. I appreciate all of you who are taking the time to share your thoughts and ideas here. I learn a lot, whether you’re defending or attacking what I
Continue readingFrom CENTCOM comes a nice report about the freeing of 3 Iraqi citizens who were held in a spider hole for 27 days, and tortured during that time, as well as the capture of a large cache of weapons, including an armed suicide car: CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq – Marines from
Continue readingDecades ago, when I still naively believed that the UN was an organization that would preserve world peace, I knew that certain Evangelical Christians believed it to be a harbinger of the Anti-Christ’s One World government, and a precursor to the End of Days. How I laughed at their religious
Continue readingI’ve been complaining for decades (really) that Israel has the worst public relations imaginable. While the PLO practically held reporters hostage to tell the story with the PLO spin, the Israelis always responded with a tight-lipped military spokesman. Israel might never have prevailed against the Leftist forces arrayed against her,
Continue readingWhile the MSM, the Europeans and the UN have been calling for an instant cease fire, because they all crave the untenable , violence-ridden status quo, things are a bit different in the Arab world. Unlike the others I named, who are caught in the PLO/Israel trope, which sees Israel
Continue readingRight now, at least in my brain, the Israeli/Hezbollah conflict dominates the news, followed by the Iraq War. Afghanistan is out there, but only vaguely. Fortunately, our military forces haven’t forgotten Afghanistan and they’re still making strides against the hydra-headed insurgents that keep popping up: BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – A

Lest they be forgotten StandWithUs.com (which is generally a good source for information about Israel in this time of

My distrust goes to the nature of our visual news medium and, I realized in conversation tonight with my family,

Thus, because it’s clear that our nation’s children are learning reading and writing at rocket-like speed (this is said with a
