Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
With blacks turning to Trump, the BLM movement may be meant, not just to terrorize Americans, but to send a clear warning message to blacks. A decade ago, Thomas Sowell wrote, in How Republicans Can Win The Black Vote: . . . One of the things that is long overdue

The progressive response to the Jacob Blake case is part of a war on police that, itself, is a part of a war on the Constitution and society. The Jacob Blake case is notable both for the clarity of the facts — they show the police acted reasonably — and

A Democrat victory in November will soon find us all living in the ultimate narcissistic world in that famous Twilight Zone episode, It’s a Good Life. I’ve spent time in the company of narcissists, so I know how they operate. One of the things that’s most irritating about them is that,

To rest from politics and riots, I’m reading Agatha Christie’s 1970 Passenger to Frankfurt. It’s a meh novel but is a superb 2020 prophecy. Agatha Christie was born in 1890, Torquay, England, meaning that she came of age in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Nevertheless, thanks to almost five decades

RNC Night 3 was Vice President Pence’s fiery acceptance speech. Topics particularly emphasized by speakers were law and black outreach. The ostensible theme of the night was about “heroes.” It was, I thought, very forced and ineffective. That said, the speakers were so strong this evening that they easilly transcended

It’s a myth that the police who shot Jacob Blake in Kenosha acted righteously only if he was armed. They had a reasonable fear he was deadly. Democrats, anarchists, Black Lives Matter folks, and other Marxists are certain that the police who shot Jacob Blake were racists. That’s their justification

America, the Land of Opportunity The major theme of the night was “land of opportunity,” with emphasis on economic opportunity under Trump, but also “the land of opportunity” in other important ways, particularly the right to a second chance for criminals who have served their time, a new life for

I had the germ of an idea and a very smart person turned it into the perfect campaign video, one that should be widely shared. On Monday, I boasted that I had come up with a great idea for a pro-Trump and Pence political advertisement. I based it on the

It was a good first night at the Republican National Convention. Republicans highlighted Trump’s record, contrasted it with Biden’s, and pushed back at charges of racism. The major themes of the night were: Highlight the successes, particularly the economic and foreign policy successes of the Trump administration, prior to the

I think I’ve come up with a brilliant Trump/Pence advertisement for people who remember the 1980s. If you’re old enough to remember the 1980s, you’re also old enough to remember this famous anti-drug advertising campaign: I woke up with that commercial imprinted in my brain (Lord knows what I was

Reading my Facebook feed is like a trip to Bizarro World because leftists have a very tenuous connection with reality. I had a dandy time reading my real-me Facebook feed today because the connection between reality and what my leftist friends write is so tenuous. I suspect that, just as

Scott Adams calls out Joe Biden for playing the race card with the “fine people” hoax. On Aug. 20, Joe Biden gave a short acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination. So low were expectations that when Biden managed to get through the speech without drooling on himself or forgetting where

These are a few things that struck me as interesting during my wanderings through the internet today. If the Times like a historical book, bet against it. I’ve always liked a good historical novel. A knowledgeable author with a good imagination can make the past come alive. Indeed, it was reading

Whether or not race was at the bottom of Cannon Hinnant’s horrible death, I still think the real issue is the profound evil that leftism injects into America. A reader called me out for saying that I didn’t think that Cannon Hinnant died because of racism. I said, instead, that

There are several fascinating videos out there, so I thought I’d dedicate this post to them, along with a little moralizing of my own. First, Trump handles with incredible grace a question that only a hack pretending to be a reporter would ever ask: These Trump press conferences produce material
