Why the Second Amendment matters
I don’t usually share emails, but this one is so good about the types of Americans who legally own guns, and why we need those guns, that I couldn’t resist.

What’s happening in Ukraine is not genocide
What’s happening to Ukraine’s civilian population is terrible and tragic, but it’s not genocide. You’ve probably noticed the word “genocide” being thrown around with abandon in Ukraine. President Zelensky, who is Jewish and whose grandfather lost his family to the Holocaust, used it just recently: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on

The 1619 Project: Reframing History & Redefining Racism
“White Supremacy” is a progressive canard to keep the race card viable in the absence of actual racism. It paints all whites as inherently racist and promotes the worst of tribalism as a progressive political tool. The New York Times’ 1619 Project seeks to “reframe” American history to mark the

Interesting things you’ll find on my real-me Facebook feed *INCORRECT LINK FIXED*
A trip through a few days worth of my Facebook posts shows that, with little effort, I can expose Proggies to ideas and facts they usually miss or ignore. Of late, between paying work, family demands, and a touch of the blecchies (not the flu, thank goodness, but I wasn’t

Early 20th C. eugenics still predominates in Progressive abortion circles
A conversation with a young college student revealed that the Progressive abortion obsession has changed little since the early 20th Century. I’ve been brooding for a few days now about a conversation I had last week with a student attending Oberlin. During the course of our talk, the student earnestly

On immigration, the Left has two dishonest arguments that need clarifying
To disguise that they’re opening our country to people who should not be here, Progressives conflate distinct doctrines and hide behind the confusion. The problem with Progressives is that they tend to combine entirely different things in a single argument and then, having intentionally muddled distinct issues, thereby perverting the

George Faught: When celebrating life is hate speech
Oklahoma state representative George Faught believes each human life is precious, an idea that sees the Left castigating him as “dumb” and “vile.” The Lefties on my Facebook page have been reduced to stuttering incoherence by a statement from Oklahoma State Representative George Faught about pregnancies resulting from rape or

What Donald Trump has done (and is still doing) to fight antisemitism
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

I’m sure someone’s said it before, but Obama is remarkably consistent in his approach to everything. For example, he believes that people who have been subject to systemic disrespect become violent or criminal. If you show them the respect they need, they will stop behaving in that way. He therefore believes that

Long ago in China, a boy coming home from school met up with his father, who was carrying on his back a basket holding the boy’s grandfather. “Oh, father,” asked the boy, “where are you taking Honorable Grandfather?” The father signaled that the boy should come closer, and then whispered

As you’ve gathered, I do not support President Obama’s promised “show” strike against Syria to protest the Assad regime’s alleged use of toxic nerve gas against a community that presumably supported the al Qaeda rebels. To justify my position, I’ve pointed to the fact that there is no benefit to

In a recent interview on gun control in the wake of the slaughter of a classroom of innocent children and faculty at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Ben Shapiro said that one of the purposes of an armed citizenry is to prevent government tyranny. Piers Morgan harrumphed condescendingly in response, as

Some lessons seem almost impossible to learn in the abstract. Even if we know the hard truth, until it has an impact upon our own lives, we go merrily along, assuming that the worst will never happen and that, if it does, we’ll muddle through somehow. I’ve known a couple
