Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
For years, the San Francisco Chronicle has been a reliable Leftist propaganda outlet — but one article and its surprising comments counter that narrative. San Francisco is a Leftist city and, in the San Francisco Chronicle, it has a hard Left newspaper. I stopped subscribing to the paper 20 years

If the House releases the Nunes memo proving an Obama scandal, but the media refuses to cover it, will Americans believe that no scandal ever happened? Unlike many of my readers, who seem to live in more conservative communities and have like-minded friends, I’ve spent my entire life in Democrat
Continue readingWetlands, a 2013 German movie now opening in the United States, doesn’t sounds like a movie I’ll be seeing any time soon — or ever. According to the rave review in the San Francisco Chronicle: “Wetlands,” an in-your-face story about bodily fluids and the collateral damage of a family gone
Continue readingYesterday, Rand Paul embarked upon a nearly 12-hour-long standing filibuster. The filibuster’s ostensible purpose and practical effect was to delay a vote on John Brennan’s nomination to head the CIA. It’s real purpose, though, was to force Attorney General Eric Holder to answer a straightforward question: “Does the President have

On the front page was a close-up picture of some angry protesters, and this caption: Health care activists lament single-payer snub. Beyond
Continue readingDo you think it’s coincidence that the Sunday before Prop. 8 formally goes before California voters, the SF Chron runs an article about a lesbian couple’s wedding that would be perfectly suitable for a saccharine Barbara Cartland romance? I probably wouldn’t have noticed or cared about this little subliminal push

The promotional material, complete with the names of radical Islamist speakers, made it pretty clear that the conference’s focus would be on whitewashing Islam, as opposed to addressing a canker in one of
