Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Even though Obama has been gone from the White House for more than two years, the media’s sycophantic love affair with him continues unabated. Barack Obama recently appeared in Oakland, California, to join with basketball star Steph Curry, at a My Brother’s Keeper event. For those who don’t know, My

Are Trump supporters racist? By abandoning both facts and logic, That Atlantic claims Trump is a neo-Nazi, so his supporters must be racists too. My Progressive friends have been on fire this holiday weekend, posting all sorts of articles from anti-Trump mainstream media publications. When I wasn’t cooking, eating, or

A snapshot of Trump Derangement Syndrome: the different responses to reports about Trump’s alleged insensitivity versus Hillary’s selling America to Russia. Yesterday’s news broke two stories, one detailing massive national security infractions involving Russians during the Obama administration and one reporting the claim that Trump was insensitive to the widow

Watcher’s Council members and their friends are at it again, writing insightful, entertaining posts about the situation at home and abroad. A Palestinian speaks the truth at the UN — the shock is palpable Unmasking ‘Taking The Knee’…The Real Issues At Stake Which Women Were Given Hope? Bookworm Beat 9/29/17
Continue readingYou’ve already heard, I’m sure, about Delbert Belton, the 88-year-old World War II veteran who was beaten to death by two black teenagers. The police are assuring everyone that there’s no need to get worried, because this wasn’t a race crime. Instead, it was Delbert’s own fault. According to the
Continue reading(This post originally appeared in slightly different form at Mr. Conservative.) Just because your father was a great man doesn’t mean you will be a great man. Exhibit A for this truism is Martin Luther King III, son of the great racial harmonizer, Martin Luther King Jr. Standing in Washington,
Continue readingThis post poses a very provocative, even inflammatory, question: “Is the mainstream media the spiritual heir of Charles Manson?” Will you be too surprised if I answer “yes”? Let’s start with Charles Manson. Manson had a goal: he envisioned a new world order, with himself and his followers as the
Continue readingPutting aside all the racist rhetoric flying around from the Left, the uncontroverted evidence coming out of the Zimmerman trial proved that (a) a hooded figure was sitting on top of another man brutally beating him and (b) the man being tried for murder showed all the signs of someone
Continue readingHere’s a concept to keep in the back of your mind as you read this post: Black people — especially black men — in America are murdered at a rate far greater than their representation in the American population. While blacks make up less than 13% of the population, more
Continue readingAs you’ve probably realized, I have very limited access to news and the Internet on this vacation. My shipboard Internet plan gives me about five (very expensive) minutes a day, which is just enough to make sure I don’t have any emergencies in my inbox, to write to my family,
Continue readingBecause this is Marin and I am not a hermit, I frequently find myself in conversation with Democrats. It was to be expected, therefore, that conversation over the Christmas holiday would end up revolving around gun control. These conversations were disheartening on all sides. My friends concluded that I support
Continue readingBefore I get to the winners from last week’s Watcher’s Council vote, I’d like to suggest that you toodle over to the Watcher’s of Weasels site yourself, to check out this week’s forum question: “Prediction — What Will Happen in the Trayvon Martin Case?” I had nothing to add, since
Continue readingThe San Jose Mercury News talked to fifteen teenage student journalists about issues ranging from texting while driving to Trayvon to politics. As journalists-in-training, these students are presumably better informed and more engaged than their peers. That presumption could be wrong. The students’ responses to the Trayvon matter fascinated me
Continue readingFor the MSM, the George Zimmerman thing has turned out to be a bust. With the exception of the fact that Trayvon Martin is still dead, everything the MSM first reported about the case has proven to be untrue. Right about now, you’d think that the media would be engaged
