Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I do believe that vote fraud had an effect on this election, although I don’t know if it was big enough in swing states to change the outcome. Abe Greenwald’s theory makes a lot more sense when it comes to explaining how conservatives could have so completely misread the election
Continue readingMy forte is spotting problems, not finding solutions. Thankfully, when I put out a call for suggestions, many of you responded. This post sets out practical list ways to get conservative messaging past the media gatekeepers that so effectively insulted Romney, praised Obama, and squelched or promoted news stories depending
Continue readingMy sister, who is only vaguely interested in politics, told me the other day that the Dems are lucky, because they’ve got such a deep pool of candidates for 2016 — and then proceeded to name Hillary and Cuomo. She had no idea who Rubio, Jindal, West, Love, etc., were,
Continue readingHere’s what didn’t happen in Benghazi on September 11, 2012: Despite advanced warning of the attack, and despite urgent, detail rich phone calls from the CIA/former Navy SEAL operatives under attack, and despite real time video feeds of events unfolding on the ground,* no one came to help. No one
Continue readingJohn Podhoretz takes a clear-eyed view of recent polls, all of which show an Obama surge. It’s a long post, and can be summed up simply: the polls probably oversample Democrats, but the fact is that Obama is doing extremely well and may even have a small lead. Mitt Romney’s
Continue readingWhen the Left talks about “the children,” they only mean certain children. For example, the useful idiots working at the New York Times have never waxed lyrical about the Israeli children killed in pizza parlors, in their homes, or at bus stops. They’ve never expressed concern about the thousands of
Continue readingThe chronology has been simple. On September 11, 2012, a mob attacked our Cairo embassy, which promptly apologized to the mob. Also on September 11, 2012, a well armed Al Qaeda group attacked our consulate in Benghazi and murdered four people, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who was there as the
Continue readingWe all know Michael Ramirez as one of the most talented editorial cartoonists ever. (And no, I’m not exaggerating when I say that.) I happen to know from going to a luncheon at which he was the guest that he is also a delightful speaker. Now we all get to
Continue readingJohn Nolte doesn’t dispute the polling numbers. They are what they are. What he disputes, however, is the post convention narrative that the MSM is spinning. It’s a con, to elevate Obama’s convention bounce into an inevitable victory, he says, and then proceeds to explain why. This makes for heartening
Continue readingA liberal friend sent me the editorial that the New York Times published practically within seconds of Mitt ending his speech, and asked me to try to defend Mitt from the editorial’s charges. Nothing easier, says I. Here’s a nice little Fisking of the New York Times’ alternate reality: Mitt
Continue readingYesterday, I did a post in which I said that, while the HuffPo was crowing about an alleged Paul Ryan, I caught David Axelrod red-handed in a repeatedly disproved lie. I had my doubts about whether Ryan had lied — it’s not his style — but that’s not where I
Continue readingThis one didn’t make the original post, because the malfeasor isn’t a politician, she’s a journalist. Nevertheless, Elspeth Reeve deserves to be called out for her lies. UPDATE: Welcome, Ace of Spades readers! As you’ve probably figured out, Maetenloch gave more meat to the story than I did. The only
Continue readingArthur Brisbane has written a rumination about his two years’ as the New York Times’ public editor. It is an interesting piece, as notes the way in which (a) the New York Times has slimmed its one massive corporate holdings so that they consist only of core news corporations and

See the video and read more about Matthews’ water-carrying at American Power. I’ll add only that, while liberals like to sneer that
