Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Alan Dershowitz challenges the talk about boycotting Netanyahu’s speech Read and enjoy Alan Dershowitz’s fiery denunciation of the Obama administration’s efforts to get Democrats — especially black ones — to boycott Netanyahu’s speech about the existential threat Obama’s policies pose to Israel. I won’t comment on the article — it
Continue readingIt’s always the same: Over the weekend, because of family demands, I get almost no time at my computer, and my email starts to back up. By Tuesday, between my two email accounts, I have several hundred unread emails. I then do the logical thing: I cravenly avoid my computer.
Continue readingI’ve had several articles saved on my browser since last week. All are still pertinent, and I’ve promised myself not to look at any new articles until I’ve shared these older ones first. The enemy will televise the next war James Taranto points out that, this time around when it
Continue readingA moment of calm, so I’m resuming my round-up. Things are not good all over Richard Fernandez does a quick survey of the three main issues on America’s plate — Russia, Iraq, and Ebola — and is not sanguine. He’s not screaming that the end is near, but he thinks
Continue readingNot to boast — okay, never mind, I’m boasting — but the reason I didn’t write more this afternoon was that I met up in the City with Neo Neocon. It was, I must say, a delightful way to spend an afternoon. Neo is, as you would expect, thoughtful, informed,
Continue readingThe lovely thing about summer is that I get to sleep in a little. I like that. The less than lovely thing about summer is that I am never alone. More than that, if my family is near me, they want me. Sometimes they want me for irritating reasons, such
Continue readingMy new washer is so efficient that (a) I’ve gotten the greater part of two-and-a-half weeks’ worth of laundry done in a few hours and (b) my old dryer is performing better than ever. Yay! I was also able to spend the time in between loads finding all sorts of
Continue readingIt’s a ridiculously beautiful day here, the kind that screams out “God’s in his Heaven, and all’s right with the world.” It’s therefore quite discordant to read headlines and realize that God may be in his Heaven, but Obama is in the White House, the DemProgs are in charge of
Continue readingBefore you start hammering away at me, let me explain what I mean about my claim that the sacrifice the SEALS and their rescuers made during Operation Red Wings was indeed a waste. I am referring, of course, to Jake Tapper’s asking Marcus Luttrell whether his comrades died in vain.
Continue readingI haven’t been much of a Chris Christie supporter lately. In the beginning, I admired his ability to stand up to the teacher’s unions. Since then, I’ve decided that this was less a principled position and more a reflection of a highly aggressive personality. Outside of the unions, he’s too
Continue readingThe last seven years of the Bush presidency had as their soundtrack “Bush lied, people died” or “No wars for oil.” Democrats loved their troops so much that they couldn’t bear to see them die because a president had ulterior motives. Bush left the White House and, magically, Democrats stopped
Continue readingAn online magazine called Jezebel bills itself as the “Home of Shiny Happy Ladies.” Jezebel might want to rethink that tag line if a post that Madeline Davis wrote about George Bush is anything to go by. As best as I can tell, the trigger for Davis’s fevered post is
Continue readingPeggy Noonan, who can be very good, talks about how Obama got us into this mess and the contortions in which he engage to save face. Peter Wehner talks about just how bad this mess really is, even with Putin having given Obama an out. A Politico article about the
Continue readingNobody says it better: I see the Obama “reset” is going so swimmingly that the president is now threatening to go to war against a dictator who gassed his own people. Don’t worry, this isn’t anything like the dictator who gassed his own people that the discredited warmonger Bush spent
Continue readingBack in 2004, when George Bush was president, Michael Moore compared al Qaeda terrorists to American Minutemen: The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not “insurgents” or “terrorists” or “The Enemy.” They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow — and they will win.
