Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
When the George Floyd riots began, corporations began virtue signaling. As all appeasers discover, that will not appease the mob. Exhibit A: Estee Lauder. I’ve written two posts in the past couple of days about corporate virtue signaling. In my latest, I tell how I’m fighting against the virtue signaling.

I’m fighting back against corporate emails expressing solidarity with Black Lives Matter, by sending replies telling them I don’t care what they think. I got another email today from a company with which I do business telling me that it’s against racism and believes in social justice. I finally snapped

Talking with a young person about how the government gets its money saw me making an analogy to my mother crying decades ago over an empty bank account. When I was a little girl, we weren’t living in poverty, but we were hanging onto my mother’s cherished middle-class lifestyle by

If you’re shopping at Walmart because you believe it’s one of the last big chains with mainstream American values, you might want to rethink that idea. Walmart, which started in Arkansas, made its reputation as the chain that catered to regular Americans, the kind who eat meat, not vegan; the

In the history of bad ideas, the latest progressive brainstorm — defund the police — is among the most idiotic of them all. Abolishing police and prisons were ideas first floated in our ivory towers. They have now gone mainstream. For instance, according to Vox: Amid the anti-police brutality protests

Two stories, with two little pieces of information in them, lead me to a question having more to do with Floyd’s life than his death. I don’t have much to say about George Floyd and the infamous arrest because I don’t know the facts; I just know the hype. The

America doesn’t have institutional racism. It has a black community that undercuts itself and enablers who allow blacks to blame others for their failings. I know this sounds petty given the outrages on American streets, but one of the things that irritates me most is the corporate virtue signaling that’s

On Sunday, I had a glorious time cleaning out my garage. It’s now well-organized, swept, shop-vacuumed, cleared of spiders and their webs, and is generally a pleasant space. However, somewhere along the line during that cleaning, I managed to scratch my cornea. I spent most of today knitting (which I

Footage from the riots shows a narcissistically entitled, hard-left criminal class that, quite self-righteously, has no consciousness of its own wrongdoing. Malignant narcissists are their own gods. In their own eyes, being god-like, they can do no wrong. To the extent bad things result from their conduct, the fault is

When I was little, my mother often kept me home from school. I’ve often thought it was because I was adept at manipulating her into thinking I was too sick to go to school, and she certainly did like having me home. In retrospect, though, I realize there was an

The Flynn-Kislyak Transcripts have been released. They exonerate Michael Flynn and indict everyone else in the Obama Administration. perhaps even Obama himself, who conspired against Flynn. On January 4, 2017, the FBI agent overseeing the Crossfire Razor investigation of Michael Flynn drafted, but did not file, a memorandum. In it,

Free speech is under assault. Trump has responded to a ridiculous fact check by Twitter, ordering the FCC and FTC to “consider” interpreting their regulations to strip social media businesses of immunity for politically biased censorship. For years now, deeply biased progressives who control the major social media platforms have

The riots in Minneapolis were inevitable for Leftist policies against racism and income inequality lead to racism, income inequality, and police brutality. Tom Wolfe famously said, “The dark night of fascism is always descending in the United States and yet lands only in Europe.” Aside from being as true now

An epic “Karens’ war” ends with the low-identity woman losing to the high-identity man, and America’s decency getting debased by a fight between two jerks. The Central Park run-in between Amy Cooper, a white woman walking her dog off-leash, and Christian Cooper (no relation), a black man and bird watcher

The federal govt. should investigate Gov. Cuomo of New York and his Health Commissioner, Howard Zucker, for their indefensible policy requiring nursing homes to take patients without regard to the Wuhan virus, knowing that it would result in illness and death among the state’s most at-risk population. On March 25,
