Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
The lovely thing about summer is that I get to sleep in a little. I like that. The less than lovely thing about summer is that I am never alone. More than that, if my family is near me, they want me. Sometimes they want me for irritating reasons, such
Continue readingIt’s a ridiculously beautiful day here, the kind that screams out “God’s in his Heaven, and all’s right with the world.” It’s therefore quite discordant to read headlines and realize that God may be in his Heaven, but Obama is in the White House, the DemProgs are in charge of
Continue readingToday is Nakba Day, the day Muslims the world over violently commemorate the “disaster” that was Israel’s creation. (JoshuaPundit explains what nakba is really about and why it is such a loathsome commemoration.) But here’s something interesting: Even as anti-Israel sentiment burns ever brighter on America’s college campuses, most recently
Continue readingAs I do on a regular basis, I let my inbox reach heroic proportions before, in a panic, I realized that I’d better take care of it because it would only get worse. And as always happens, I found a bunch of gems hiding in there. Some are a bit
Continue readingFor reasons that make no sense to me, in the past week my daily readership has almost trebled. I suspect a bot has targeted my site but, when I allow myself to pretend that it’s actual people checking out my site, I feel really quite good. And now let’s see
Continue readingIt’s raining!!! In California, that’s cause for celebration. Rain in Marin doesn’t mean it’s raining elsewhere, but it certainly matters to use Marin-ites — we have our own reservoir system, so we’re wholly dependent on local rainfall. Ironically, the rain is slowing down our major yard renovation, and we have
Continue readingFrom the time he hit the campaign trail in 2007, Barack Obama made it plain that he considered America to be too big for her britches when it comes to international matters. Looking at imperfect nations, you could see him mentally scolding America — “Haven’t you done enough already?” —
Continue readingWork and family call, but that doesn’t mean I’m not sneaking quick peeks at articles that I can then share with you. Is the global warming tipping point nearing? It will inevitably happen, but far too late to save the billions of dollars wasted, the lives lost in revolutions it
Continue readingIf you’re a true believer, it’s very hard to admit that your idol has feet of clay. For some, it may be impossible. Andrew Sullivan currently falls into the latter category. He has written an almost pathetic post assuring his followers that Obama cleverly baited a trap for Putin and
Continue readingMark Steyn looks at what was going on in Obama’s brain‘ when he drew the “red line” and at the fall out from that moment: Charles Crawford, Britain’s former ambassador in Serbia and Poland, called last Monday “the worst day for U.S. and wider Western diplomacy since records began.” Obama
Continue readingSome people are gracious winners. Russian President Vladimir Putin is not one of those people. After humiliating President Obama before the world when he pulled Obama’s chestnuts out of the fire regarding Syria (a move, incidentally, that turned a leader of a third-world nuclear nation into a Middle Eastern power
Continue readingI am indebted to Jose for the perfect solution to Obama’s moral dilemma regarding dead children in Syria: Obama says he wants to protect Syrian children. He should just pretend they are fetuses. I liked that so much, I made a poster:
Continue readingOver the past several years, especially since Obama became president, 9/11 turned into a diffuse holiday during which a Leftist-dominated media and political class ruminated about the needs of Muslims. Patriotism was verboten. We were allowed to shed tears for those who died, but the media shut its collective door
Continue readingPeggy Noonan, who can be very good, talks about how Obama got us into this mess and the contortions in which he engage to save face. Peter Wehner talks about just how bad this mess really is, even with Putin having given Obama an out. A Politico article about the
