Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
It’s no coincidence that crime is on the rise in California. A fish rots from the head and, when it comes to lawlessness, California is rotten from the top down. I don’t know whether you are aware, but there is an epidemic of car thefts and break-ins taking place in

Midge went to the Women’s March last month in San Francisco and asked a few people to explain why they were protesting. The results are illuminating. The best thing about the video was that she didn’t interview anyone I know — because after all, living as I do near San

Evil losers, bureaucrats facing job insecurity, the anger that drives some cities, and why the Left loves transgenderism — my friends and I cover it all. The advantage of living in a blue bastion is that your conservative friends are burnished in a type of crucible. It takes an affirmative

Yes, the Electoral College has spoken on the election, but the Progressives’ weeping, wailing, beating of breasts, and rending of garments continues unabated. That’s why you’ll find these articles pertinent, interesting, amusing and, sometimes, frightening. Don’t attack people from whom you want something. Hillary wanted votes from Americans but she
Continue readingIt’s been some time since my last round-up so, without further ado: A primer for those who need to be reminded why Hillary should be incarcerated, not inaugurated. Deroy Murdock has a knack for political parables. Using the example of the “Foggy Bottom Department Store,” he makes it clear just how
Continue readingFleet Week is almost upon us here in San Francisco. As many of you know, it’s one of my favorite times of year. But Fleet Week isn’t just about the civilians in San Francisco; it’s also about the sailors and Marines who visit our city. If you’d like to make
Continue readingHillary is unfit to be president My friend Scott, the same one who wrote this excellent time line and analysis about Hillary’s criminal malfeasance, continues to follow the Hillary saga closely. In a recent email to me, he wrote: I can pretty much assure you, I and everyone else who
Continue readingFor the first ten years of my life, I was one of the San Franciscans who still swam at Fleishhacker Pool. This is Fleishhacker: If you think it looks big, you’re right. Built in 1925, and open until 1971, it held 6 million gallons of water pumped in right from
Continue readingA couple of weeks ago, I wrote that we discovered a really nice Chinese restaurant in, of all places, San Francisco’s Chinatown (which is not known locally for quality Chinese food): Apropos Chinese food, if you’re in San Francisco’s Chinatown, I have a Chinese restaurant to recommend. I have never
Continue readingMy friend Sally Zelikovsky came up with the pun about a new sport called “E-bowling” after word emerged that the New York physician, who was ostensibly “self-isolating” himself, actually trawled all over the New York, using subways and Uber, to engage in activities ranging from dining out to bowling. I
Continue readingIt’s no secret that Obama and crew don’t like the military. Over the years, the political class generally and the Obama class specifically have worked hard to clip the American military’s wings. Some of these efforts have been direct attacks on the military’s function and structure. The most recently attack, though, is
Continue readingJust a few things to round out the weekend. ** 1 ** Yesterday, I went to an exhibition soccer game — Real Madrid versus Inter Milan. The game, held in UC Berkeley’s Memorial Stadium, was sold out. Despite that, it was a surprisingly lackluster game. I think that flat feeling
Continue readingMy friend Stella Paul got a huge, deserved shout-out at Power Line for her expose of the antisemitic rot at America’s campuses, something that started with a bang right in San Francisco, in 2002. I mentioned yesterday that this wasn’t anything new to me, since my father experienced it in
Continue readingAt a certain level, all of us are solipsistic, in that we inevitably exist at the enter of our own universe. As it is with individuals, so it is with belief systems. Whether we like it or not, we assume that our way is the way to do things. That
Continue readingA rising San Francisco tech yuppie said what all the hard-working young San Franciscans think about the homeless and derelicts who swarm San Francisco’s streets but that none dare to say aloud. (I remember well the quiet grumbling about the homeless back in my young days as a downtown yuppie,
