Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
This one’s a day late, but I don’t think it’s a dollar short ’cause I got good memes here about drones, sick leftist crushes on murders, Biden’s pardons, Daniel Penny’s acquittal, Jill’s Trump crush, gender madness, generalized Democrat madness, and more.

Newly released FBI texts show that middle-class people will usually ignore principles and take whatever path helps them pay their bills. In May 2017, Trump fired James Comey. Comey, of course, presented himself (he still does) as the most virtuous man in Washington. But even then, before we knew that

A look at some of the history and holidays on November 29 Holidays & Observances on November 29 Feast of Father Cuthbert Mayne – one of the Forty Martys of England and Wales, he was the first seminary trained priest to be executed for practicing his faith in Elizabethan England.

When it comes to Obamacare, I’m all for Occam’s Razor, which argues that the simplest approach — repeal — is the best, subject to limited grandfathering. Before I introduce you to a few ideas I have about Obamacare, I have a true story for you. A pro-Obamacare friend of mine
Continue readingRemember back in 1980 when something happened in Poland that seemed little but had enormous consequences? That was the year that Lech Walesa started to lead the Gdansk shipyard workers. Their trade union eventually led in a straight line to the Soviet Union’s downfall. From a trade union, those shipyard
Continue readingThere’s so much good stuff out there on Mondays. All the pent-up writer’s instinct and energy from the weekend seems to pour over into this day. Here’s some of that good stuff: Camille Paglia points out the obvious: it’s false that a woman without a man is like a fish
Continue readingJust a few fisks about the lies and anti-constitutionalism in Obama’s ukase this morning. As a preliminary to this, let me just say that the Affordable Care Act, i.e., the actual law that Congress passed, requires the health care exchange and the new policies to go into effect as of
Continue readingMore than five years ago, when Barack Obama threw his hat into the political ring, I realized that he was a malignant narcissist who lied compulsively. For Obama, truth was then and is now defined by the needs of the moment. If it will benefit him at that moment to
Continue readingCharlie Martin, who has a real knack for simplifying fairly complex mathematical concepts, has a post today about the fact that, when it comes to Obamacare versus math, math wins every time. I’d like to add my mite to that, which is that, when you have no dog in the

Continue readingAs we get ever closer to ObamaCare’s full launch, I’m increasingly certain that ObamaCare will be a disaster. Employers are already changing their hiring practices (keeping the numbers below 50 or, in the case of medical device companies, firing people) or jettisoning insurance altogether. For example, Trader Joe’s, UPS, and

I was therefore happy to publish Michael Cahill’s post about ObamaCare’s effects on small business.) In just six months time
Continue readingI wrote a post about the fact that, when it comes to delivering a message, style is as important as content. I got a lovely email in return from Greg Joyce, at Willoughby Films: I couldn’t agree more with your point, that conservatives need to make an emotional (maybe “entertaining”
