Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
At a lawyer level, this has been a somewhat frustrating day, with me struggling to fit my facts (always true and honest ones) to the law (which sometimes refuses to cooperate), capped by a power outage that lost me an hour of time. Add to that the usual cries for
Continue readingIn no particular order, a whole lot of extremely interesting things about Islam, Leftist hypocrisy, John Kerry’s epic appearance in France, and other things that caught my eye. Pitch-perfect satire exposes Leftist hypocrisy Okay, I’ll admit that you don’t need pitch-perfect satire to expose Leftist hypocrisy, because the latter is
Continue reading[The video may take a few seconds to load.] Post by The Israel Project. And as an added bonus, a quotation from Richard Fernandez: The two suspects cornered in a building are sending a message with their unyielding violence that the political establishment has failed to understand. Multiculturalism is dead.
Continue readingSorry for the blog silence, but for the past few days, everyone has wanted not just a piece of me, but several pieces of me. I’m telling myself that this was just an end-of-the-year frenzy and will have no impact whatsoever on the year to come. As it is, though,
Continue readingCaroline Glick was not constrained by the meaningless language of diplomacy. She simply told the truth after listening to the Danish ambassador’s utterly revolting twaddle, in which he simultaneously expressed his antisemitism and his utter disdain for the Palestinian people who are the European tools to act upon that antisemitism:

I recently found myself watching 2013’s “Comedy Central Roast of James Franco.” It was a deeply disturbing experience. The last time I watched a roast was sometime in the 1970s. My father loved those old Dean Martin celebrity roasts. They were intended to be PG, which meant that the insults were
Continue readingAs you’ve probably noticed, I’ve spent a bit of the past two days doing housecleaning at my site: I’ve upgraded the comments feature (for the better, I hope) and I’ve rebooted the “read more” feature so that posts are truncated, requiring less vertical scrolling, but can easily be expanded and
Continue readingIn World War II, England fought Hitler. If Hitler were to rise again today, England would have his back: Post by StandWithUs. This is what the Left has always served up (Soviet Union and Nazi Germany being the prime examples), with a multiplier from Islam.
Continue readingBefore I dive into my round-up, I wanted to discuss with you a poster that a very liberal friend of mine put up on Facebook. It’s the Leftist version of various posters you’ve seen here discussing Leftist logic (e.g., as Dixon Diaz says, “A liberal is someone who lives in
Continue readingYet another day where I start with an apology for not writing more or writing sooner. I had what I think is a fairly severe arthritis flair-up, loaded myself up with anti-inflammatory meds, and took a long nap. Thankfully, I’m feeling better and moving easier, so it’s time to write!
Continue readingHang on to your hats, because this round-up’s a big one (and quite interesting too, I hope). Reading through my own posts, I have a sense of a world rushing unstoppably towards something catastrophic. I think many feel this way, which is why they’re so terribly aware of the 100th anniversary
Continue readingJust a few things to round out the weekend. ** 1 ** Yesterday, I went to an exhibition soccer game — Real Madrid versus Inter Milan. The game, held in UC Berkeley’s Memorial Stadium, was sold out. Despite that, it was a surprisingly lackluster game. I think that flat feeling
Continue readingThe lovely thing about summer is that I get to sleep in a little. I like that. The less than lovely thing about summer is that I am never alone. More than that, if my family is near me, they want me. Sometimes they want me for irritating reasons, such
Continue readingTwo days ago, I lauded the Washington Post for publishing a rare anti-Hamas editorial. I say “rare” because Israel supporters have long felt that the Washington Post has consistently slanted its news to be hostile to Israel. This hasn’t been done too overt a way. Instead, it manifests itself in spin,
Continue readingLast night we watched the most recent episode of John Oliver’s new HBO show, Last Week Tonight. I was interested in what Oliver’s take would be about the two top news events of the past week: Hamas’s terrorist action and Israel’s military response; and the refugee crisis on America’s own border. Oliver,
