Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Am I overreacting to think that BYU’s online government class slipped in a gratuitous, classically antisemitic trope about Jews controlling foreign policy? I’ve written before about BYU’s online high school government class and, frankly, didn’t have much nice to say about it. It’s poorly written, poorly structured, and poorly informed.

A recent attack against Harvey Weinstein in a Jewish publication reminds us that, when it comes to antisemitism, America’s Jews are overachievers. Almost three years ago, I wrote a post entitled Some of America’s ugliest antisemitism comes from young Hollywood Jews (language warning). I wrote after I had watched a

Watcher’s Council members and their friends are at it again, writing insightful, entertaining posts about the situation at home and abroad. A Palestinian speaks the truth at the UN — the shock is palpable Unmasking ‘Taking The Knee’…The Real Issues At Stake Which Women Were Given Hope? Bookworm Beat 9/29/17

There’s so much Leftist insanity that one Bookworm Beat wasn’t enough to contain it all. It takes two posts to grasp what’s really going on. The craven FBI refuses to stop Leftist insanity. Although the mainstream media is silent, the conservative media is appropriately outraged that James Comey had already decided

At Charlottesville, Antifa and Neo-Nazis proved to be birds of a feather; and blacks are right to want to remove Confederate monuments from public spaces. I’ve been rather conspicuously silent about events in the South. As you know, I like to wait until the hysteria settles and facts emerge to

The deeply moving 14th Annual Ariel Avrech Lecture was the anchor for an inspiring weekend that cemented old friendships and introduced me to new friends. Some of you may remember that, about a week ago, I wrote a post saying that I’d be flying down to L.A. to attend the

If you want to know why identity groups support Democrats even when doing so is counter to their interests, there’s one reason, and one reason alone…. Practically since the day I started blogging, at which time I revealed myself to be a politically conservative Jew, I’ve regularly been asked the

Despite a small spark of rationality, Macalester College’s weekly paper displays the Progressive hate, ignorance, and nonsense at an American college. Knowing my passion for free speech, someone sent me a small sign of hope: a link to a student-written opinion piece from the weekly student newspaper at Macalester University

Being Jewish and being a stalwart Israel supporter, I watch a lot of videos about modern antisemitism. This may be the best I’ve ever seen. I urge you to watch it and to share it: My simplified version of the message Rabbi Sacks gives is that, throughout history, a society

Teen Vogue turns against Israel with a gauzy, one-sided view of Palestinians. This sewage-like flow of Leftist ideology traces back to American academia. For those naive enough to think that Teen Vogue is a fashion magazine, please disabuse yourself of that notion as quickly as possible. It is, in fact,

I’ve promised myself not to tag any more posts until I clear those already cluttering the spindle — and they’re too good to let slip away. It’s time for government to get off its moral high horse. Victor Davis Hanson hits another home run with an article reminding Democrat leaders that

Trump made it simple: antisemitism is bad and it needs to stop so, of course, Stephen Goldstein, a Jewish Leftist hiding behind Anne Frank attacked him for not doing enough. Trump addressed antisemitism in a short statement at the National Museum of African American History and Culture: I know President

The new phrase is “fourth branch of government,” referring to the Progressive bureaucracy fighting exile. It’s time to fight back. The administrative state is not the fourth branch of government. When I said “interesting times,” I meant it. We all knew that our government had gotten too big and we voted for

American Jewish groups (the majority of which ally with the Democrat Party) are once again claiming to be concerned about Donald Trump and antisemitism — that is, they’re implying that Trump is a KKK puppet. Of course they are wrong but, as is often the case with a slur that

Full disclosure: I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. I am boycotting the Super Bowl, because I have not forgiven it for how it enthusiastically allowed Kaepernick (whom the 49ers are releasing) to politicize what should have remained non-political. Having said that, I’m glad the Patriots won because, politically speaking, it’s
