Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
As the old Hollywood musicals liked to remind us, the only things free in this world are the sun, the moon, the stars, and other pretty, and not so pretty, things Nature provides, totally free of charge. Everything else comes at a cost, and sooner or later someone has to pay.

I found this on a friend’s Facebook feed. When I finally stopped laughing, I had to share it: Hillary’s swift “descent” can only be topped by Bernie’s problem with “dementia(l).” That “agricultural perspective” comment, by the way, refers to Hillary’s claimed ties to Monsanto.

This is a good, long post. Mix a martini or make yourself some hot chocolate, find a quiet place, settle back, and read away! Trump woos conservatives. The big news today is Donald Trump’s list of proposed Supreme Court nominees, all of whom of are, in John Yoo’s words “outstanding

This fascinating video is not for any candidate or any party. It is a pure and perfect homage to the American dream and the American people. Captain Clay Higgins reminds us that we are and always have been a people “driven by imperfect men with perfect intent.” We’ve fought wars

.@tedcruz suspends his presidential bid – “path to victory has been foreclosed.” @realDonaldTrump is republican party’s presumptive nominee. — Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) May 4, 2016 A few points: 1. I think that, henceforth, we will no longer speak of “black swans” (i.e., utterly unforeseeable events that alter an otherwise predictable

I regularly like to tell anyone who will listen that Bernie Sanders is a good diagnostician but that his proposed treatments will kill the patient — the patient in this case being the United States economy. Bernie is absolutely correct that America has a problem with the too-tight nexus between

My take on the decision to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 in place of Andrew Jackson? I find all this change and revisionism both silly and expensive but, having said that, here’s my position: They’re replacing the racist, slave-supporting, Indian-killing founder of the Democrat party with a gun-toting, Republican black

I received the following email from a friend. I really can’t add anything to it: *** I just read the most ungodly economically ignorant article I have ever read. . . . It even beats out the $15 an hour minimum wage arguments, which at least are based on rational
Continue readingAm I the only one who finds this sentence incredibly disturbing? The sentence comes from an article about Gloria Vanderbilt’s life and, more specifically, her sex life, which is the subject of a new documentary. The person behind the documentary is Anderson Cooper, Vanderbilt’s son, and noted gay TV personality

Here is the typically wrongheaded poster I want to challenge today: Without diving into the details, there are two central flaws with this poster that negate everything it advocates: It assumes

Your faith is your

Continue readingBernie supporters, we are told, are overwhelmingly young. If you’ve been wondering why hip young people are drawn to a foam-flecked, angry, hand-waving, wild-haired old communist, these two videos give you the answer (language and content alert as to the first). They also explain why socialists want free college education
Continue readingMy college-age child introduced me to a website called I Like Bernie, But… which is particularly appealing to young voters. The website offers short answers to concerns pro-Bernie voters might still be harboring about his policies and his ability to win. With few exceptions, these answers are just plain wrong. You
