Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Rumors are circulating that the Democrats are frantically looking for a way to displace Hillary from the top of their ticket. That assumes, of course, that it’s even possible to do so at this late date, with states already having locked in the primary winners. The obvious people to fill
Continue readingTwo videos, two men, same icky feeling. For those unfamiliar with British events, the top video is of Jimmy Savile, one of the most famous media figures in England, thanks to his role hosting Top of the Pops for decades. It turns out that during those same decades, Savile was

Continue readingPlease tell me that I’m not the only one who found it hysterically funny that the Vice President of the United States gave what Matt Drudge classified as a “take back America” speech. It’s my impression that “take back America” is the battle cry for those outside of the White
Continue readingJoe Biden, whose sole virtue seems to be the fact that, just occasionally, he opens his mouth and offers a clear insight into the Obama administration, had this to say about illegal immigrants: You know, 11 million people live in the shadows. I believe they’re already American citizens. These people
Continue readingThis one’s a little bouquet of stuff, hence the little bouquet “branding” photo: Queen Victoria was famous for using the royal “we” because she understood that all of her public utterances were on the nation’s behalf. Barack Obama and Joe Biden don’t get that. The road to Hell is paved
Continue readingHere’s an old joke: An established comedian invited a friend to join him at a very exclusive “comedian’s club.” The guest instantly noticed something peculiar. In the main room, a person would periodically stand up and shout out a number. “57,” one would say, and a few people in the
Continue readingYesterday I directed your attention to one of the angriest editorial opinions I’ve ever seen in the normally temperate Wall Street Journal. What I missed was that Daniel Henninger, who’s also a normally temperate writer, also leveled a huge mortar round of ugly facts against our President: We should admit
Continue readingRich Lowry wrote a great article today about the Democrats’ enormous frustration with Ted Cruz: Cruz ought to be one of them, since he’s manifestly brilliant and hyper-educated . . . except that he refuses to be one of them. I especially liked this bit: Democrats and liberal pundits would

Continue readingHere’s another pure Bookworm post that got published first at Mr. Conservative: Imagine that you’re the vice president of a nation that’s slowly going bankrupt. Your president has been traveling around the nation saying that, with the economy poised so delicately on the verge of disaster, any spending cuts will

Pistorius claimed he was acting in self-defense. The prosecution contends that he and his girlfriend had a violent
Continue readingWe already know that Joe was telling women to break the law with his advice to fire a double-barreled shotgun in the air to frighten about bad guys. Would it surprise you to learn that his understanding of shotguns and AR-15s is also fatally, stupidly flawed? No, I didn’t think
Continue readingYou all remember from the Bush-era how we were told repeatedly that Dick Cheney was George Bush’s brain. That notion arose when the Left couldn’t square Bush’s effectiveness as an executive (never mind his years of executive experience) with their certainty that he was, in fact, an idiot. They were
