Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Americans’ very different reactions to COVID make me wonder how much our vanishing Judeo-Christian heritage factors into those reactions. America embarked on two diametrically opposite paths once the first COVID panic ended. Leftists embraced an approach intended to do anything and everything they could to avoid the possibility of dying

Democrats and Muslims have come together with anti-Semitism because it is their ideological destiny — and Leftist Jews are too indoctrinated to see it. One of the fascinating things about the world in which we live is the alliance between Leftists and Muslims. At first glance, it seems as if

Those who reject the Bible will always point to Biblical stories that seem cruel and unjust today. Dennis Prager gives context showing that they are wrong. Dennis Prager is back with another video, this time about the way in which Leftists misunderstand (whether deliberately or ignorantly) two Bible rules: The

We’re told atheism is a rational response to the Bible’s factual failures. That’s a cover story. Atheism is really about an illusory freedom from Big Rules. I’ve been thinking a lot about aggressive atheism. Or put another way, I’ve been wondering why atheists are so determined to erase God from

Events in South Africa today reveal that the Progressives’ adored Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a moral and constitutional moron, not a brilliant Leftist avatar. Progressives adore Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, whom they fondly call “Notorious RBG.” Indeed, in 2015, a book entitled Notorious RBG: The Life and Times

A powerful HBO documentary about the beginning and end of using children as camel jockeys highlights the difference between Islam and Biblical morality. One of HBO’s better shows is Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel. It has a 60 Minutes format which sees it have three relatively “in-depth” stories per hour

My post title actually has little to do with the topics raised during the 6.5 hours (!) of discussion panels NR offered yesterday (which was an at sea day). Having gotten to know fairly well the panelists’ different personalities, however, I was struck by the West’s tight focus on individual

If Bill Clinton and Al Gore couldn’t do it, then no one can. A Leftist Facebook friend posted an article from The Hill with a lede saying that Donald Trump “floats rolling back food safety regulations.” The implication, obviously, is that in Trump’s America, we’re all going to die from

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
Continue readingI’ve had a busy day that’s precluded writing, but I have been thinking — and what I’ve been thinking about is government coercion. Three things floated across my radar, all of which touch upon the topic. I. Government Coercion and Religion The first thing that got my goat was a

Continue readingMost people, when they think of Genesis, remember that God created everything, told Adam and Eve to leave the tree of knowledge and, when they didn’t, kicked them out of Eden. What few remember is Genesis’s insistent focus on the importance of naming things. In the first chapter, God no sooner creates

At his own website, Truth Now, and at Breitbart, he vigorously attacks the movie for turning the Bible on its head. As you read here some months ago, Hollywood has taken one of
