Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
She helped kill nine people, she got five consecutive life sentences, she’s never shown the slightest remorse, and she’s walking after only 24 years in prison: A former member of the Baader-Meinhof gang has been released after serving 24 years for her involvement in kidnappings and murders in the 1970s.

Global warming is what William James called

Here’s the tag for the article at Front Page Magazine: “Only gutless Republicans could turn the U.S. Attorney firings into a budding constitutional crisis.” Well, yeah. The Democrats scream bloody murder over the political equivalent
Continue readingI don’t think I’ve ever written “pork” and “surrender” in the same sentence, but needs must. The necessity in this case is to bring increased attention to the really vile bill the greedy surrender monkeys in the House have cobbled together in an effort to position themselves to win the
Continue readingI’m telling myself it was just a fluke, but I feel like an utter failure: Over at the Watcher’s Council, I didn’t get a single vote for my last Watcher’s Council submission. I’m not wailing about the fact that I didn’t win, mind you, because my submitted post wasn’t in

This is not

To that end, let me just direct you to the WSJ editorial regarding the fake scandal over the 8 U.S. attorneys the administration fired. I agree in every particular, whether it’s about executive
