Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Here’s what didn’t happen in Benghazi on September 11, 2012: Despite advanced warning of the attack, and despite urgent, detail rich phone calls from the CIA/former Navy SEAL operatives under attack, and despite real time video feeds of events unfolding on the ground,* no one came to help. No one
Continue readingI’ve said it before: Clinton was sleazy, but that was behind closed doors. When he had his presidential hat on, he acted like a president. In this way, he was precisely like LBJ, who was famously vulgar when the public wasn’t watching, but who understood the symbolism of his office.
Continue readingBill Whittle explains very clearly why it’s a mistake in this election for those who dislike Obama to a protest vote for a third party, or not vote at all, in order to protest the fact that Republicans are so far from perfect. It’s a principled stand, certainly, but it
Continue readingWhat we think Obama is hiding in Benghazi is disgraceful executive conduct on September 11, 2012, which lead to the deaths of four Americans, including a United States Ambassador. What Frank Gaffney thinks the administration is hiding is much worse: gun-running. The evidence suggests that the Obama administration has not
Continue readingThe Ohio Democratic Party Chairman, knowing that Mitt Romney is a wealthy man, who might have some extra millions lying around, has suggested that Romney give those dollars to a charity that helps Hurricane Sandy victims: Mitt Romney should have donated $10 million to the Red Cross instead of ‘taking
Continue readingUsually, I post about what I’ve found on Facebook — the anger, the silliness, and the misinformation from my Liberal friends. Today, I’m doing something different. I’m posting about what I didn’t find on Facebook. You see, Facebook was apparently unwilling to tolerate a poster that suggested that Obama had
Continue readingI cannot vouch for the facts in this email I received, so please take that into consideration as you read it: From my personal experience at Bagram last year, when the “Commander-in-Thief” came over, the troops were handpicked, screened, and disarmed, including the Marines. All base roads, sidewalks, and access
Continue readingMy brain hasn’t yet synthesized all the fascinating data out there, including the wrenching stories of Sandy’s devastation. For the time being, I’ll just pass interesting links on to you. Please feel free to do the same. *** The former Commander of the United States Pacific Fleet has written a

Continue readingI’m guessing that a majority of Americans (a slim majority, but still a majority) know that America entered WWII because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. What few stop to consider is why we ended up fighting, not only the Japanese who had just bombed us, but the Germans as well,
Continue readingNot only did the Detroit Tigers lose the world series, they lost spectacularly, with the Giants winning in a solid four game streak. I predicted this outcome a few days ago, not because I know anything about baseball (I don’t), but because I am familiar with the Obama curse. As
Continue readingWhen last I wrote, the CIA denied giving a stand down order and denial of aid to Glen Doherty and Lance Woods. Since then, the White House has issued a carefully worded statement to the effect that “Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for
Continue readingSometimes, timing is everything. Steven Pinker, who is a Harvard psychology professor just published a long opinion piece in the New York Times explaining why there is a Red State/Blue State divide. As a predicate to his discussion, he began by dividing the mindsets that characterize conservatives and their Progressive
Continue readingI had no doubt whatsoever that the Giants would win game 3 of the World Series tonight, just as I am very confident that they will win the World Series. Indeed, there’s a decent chance they’ll win the 4th game, bringing the Series to a speedy conclusion. Why am I
Continue readingThe more I have a chance to digest today’s news stories, the more I am struck by how unbelievably tragic the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi seem today, even more so than they did on September 11. On that day, smart people suspected that al Qaeda had struck again.
