Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
As spelled out to the credulous public, Trump’s proposal was to ban all Muslims forever. That’s a bad idea. It’s unreasonably xenophobic, and it prevents America from welcoming Muslims who are not religious zealots and who look favorably upon an open, pluralist society that respects the separation of church and state.
Continue readingA few words about Donald Trump’s campaign success Donald Trump is the ordinary American’s id. The id, of course, is our most basic intelligence, the one that gives us the atavistic reflexes that recognize danger and act on it to stay alive. Trump has cut through the political correctness that
Continue readingI can’t help it. When someone this big links to one of my posts, I have to boast: I won’t lie — with those recommendations, it’s been a good day at my blog.
Continue readingEarly last week, the New York Times published Frank Bruni’s overwrought essay, Anyone But Ted Cruz. The piece is clearly meant to assassinate Ted Cruz’s character by explaining why conservative voters should hate and fear him as much as Progressives do. As a preliminary matter, of course, any conservative who

I’m still not going to start discussing the “meaning” of the San Bernardino shooting. I’ll just list the dots: 1. 14 people were
Continue readingInspired by Marie Kondo’s advice that true organization begins with throwing out everything that is neither useful nor sentimental, I am continuing to plow through every nook and cranny in my house. This is the first organization system that’s made sense to me, which is why I haven’t already given
Continue readingDavid P. Goldman (aka Spengler) is one of the smartest thinkers and writers out there. He’s knowledgeable, an insightful analyst, and leads with his brain, not his belly button. So if Goldman puts together a list of the top ten reasons to vote for Ted Cruz, you can be damn sure that
Continue readingToday both Power Line and Commentary Magazine acknowledged that Ted Cruz may well be the last man standing. Because I love it when I’m right (yes, I have no shame), let me repeat my post from September, when I predicated precisely this outcome in the primaries: Ted Cruz, with his
Continue readingMy day has spiraled so wildly out of control, I despair of ever getting it back. Fortunately, a good friend who knows well how I think sent me an email that says much of what I would have said today if I’d had the time. So, here is the “Bookworm
Continue readingI’ve made no secret of the fact that I support Ted Cruz. I realize he’s not perfect, but no candidate is. What matters to me is that his political values most closely align with mine, that he’s not scared of a fight (and, especially, he’s not scared of the media),
Continue readingEverything Obama has touched during his presidency has turned to dross. I’d like you to look at this video, not as a Ted Cruz campaign video (which it is) but as a really short, savage indictment of Obama’s awfulness, from his boasting, to his anti-Americanism, to his vicious personal attacks
Continue readingBefore I begin, I want to extend my sincerest condolences to the French people. This Mumbai-style attack is terrible and cruel. Having said that, I feel obligated to point out that France, which has expended a great deal of energy trying to appease the Muslim crocodile (including trying to undermine
Continue readingSo much to share with you (23 separate articles at last count) and so little time. I’ll therefore get right down to business and you might want to give yourself some time to review all these fascinating articles at your leisure: Another pundit figures out Cruz might be the man
Continue readingThe questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don’t trust the media. This is not a cage match. And if you look at the questions — “Donald Trump, are you a comic book villain?” “Ben Carson, can you do math?” “John Kasich,
Continue readingI’ve now had some time to consider the top Republican contenders for next year’s presidential election, and I’ve decided that nothing has changed my mind in the past few months — I still like Ted Cruz best. Based on what I perceive are the strengths and weaknesses of the various
