Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Tweets between Dean Cain and Princeton Professor Kevin Kruse about debating controversial ideas exemplified academia’s intellectual vacuity and arrogance. My years at Berkeley left me with tremendous disdain for academics — and keep in mind that this disdain set in almost 40 years ago, before the current insanity of identity

Even as Paris burns, America’s media and other Democrat establishments demand that America institute the socialist policies that are destroying Europe. Paris burns — and the people call for Trump. The mainstream media truly believes in global leadership. Trump’s desire to be America’s, rather than following in his predecessor’s footsteps

There’s still much to say about the mob heading for our southern border, not to mention transgender madness and the upcoming election (plus yodeling). A reader explains the invasion. I am so fortunate to have such smart readers. In this case, the smart reader is Ms. L: Several comments/observations on

This is a hodge-podge about debased funerals, corrupt investigations, stupid Leftists, Hollywood hate, and other stuff to amuse and dismay the reader. Regarding the obsequies for McCain, it’s clear that the Wellstone funeral was a warm-up. I’d like to think that ordinary Americans, rather than being moved politically by demagoguery

Trump revoked John Brennan’s security clearance and Proggies went insane — and of course, they went stupid, too. All that and more in this Bookworm Beat. Apparently “honesty” and “integrity” have a different meaning inside the beltway. I was one of the millions who appreciated Admiral McRaven’s commencement speech at

Bibi Netanyahu releases another powerful video speaking directly to the Iranian people — and the world — about the corrupt Iran government. One of the complaints I’ve had for decades is that Israel utterly failed to understand that, in today’s world, it’s not enough to win a military victory; you

I wake up happy every day in Trump’s America because I’m convinced that I’m watching a wonderful documentary in which America and Americans are thriving. One of the points Scott Adams makes repeatedly is that reality is an essentially fluid concept. In order to make sense of the world, we

Conservatives and Leftists aren’t just watching different movies, which goes to spin and values. Leftists are often watching movies based entirely on lies. Scott Adams is fond of analogizing different political world views to the fact that people are watching different movies. I watch a movie that sees Trump as

Last week saw Trump almost completely erase the Obama legacy — an event that, peculiarly enough, coincided perfectly with delightful benefits for America.

It’s an old-fashioned Bookworm Beat with news from all over, much of it heartening, because we’re living in Trump’s America. I’m enjoying living in Trump’s America. Good things are happening — and, with Wolf Howling’s help, I’ve got a collection of good things, interesting things, important things, silly things, and

Netanyahu’s amazing presentation about Iran’s nuclear weapons program shows that Obama was either a useful idiot or a scheming collaborator. Your choice. If you haven’t seen Benjamin Netanyahu’s detailed exposé of the Iranian nuclear weapons program, you must. As always, I am very interested in anything you have to say

A college student’s essay about ethnic food in America is a depressing window into the fact that American colleges don’t educate, they “un-educate.” Several hours ago, I sat down to write a post about religion and culture. I got as far as picking a title for my post when I

Thomas Sowell telling said that facts — real world, life facts — ended his Marxist phase. I’ve compiled a list of life facts that made me conservative. Dave Rubin interviewed Thomas Sowell, who has a new book out called Discrimination and Disparities. I will get myself a copy as soon

Second Amendment posters always come first in the Bookworm Beat, because without the Second Amendment, the Bill of Rights is a dead letter — and so are we.
