Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased Trump Derangement Syndrome symptoms from moderate to acute, with rampant emotionalism erasing all sense and reason. I didn’t like Barack Obama. My dislike for him started with his policies and, eventually, extended to his person. Policy-wise, I didn’t like his frequently expressed belief that America

I. The Wuhan Flu / Chinese Coronavirus / Kung Flu / Lung Pao Sicken One would think that after two months of wall to wall Kung Flu, we would know a great deal about it. But if you’re like me, I still have more questions than answers. Whatever name one calls

Tomorrow, on January 9, Nancy Pelosi will push through the House a non-binding resolution that would tie the President’s hands from ever attacking Iran – or presumably any Iranian found anywhere in the world, including Iraq – under any condition, without first getting approval from Congress. The resolution, Pelosi tells

To know what Trump is thinking, spend 20 minutes listening to Trump talking to Rush Limbaugh — or read key excerpts from the interview here. Trump likes to tweet, but the problem with his tweets is that they don’t create a sustained narrative. The tweets are appetizers, not the main

We’re only five days into 2020, but thanks to the Soleimani strike, Trump Derangement Syndrome is already exceeding anything we’ve seen before. I knew that 2019 wasn’t the year of peak crazy Trump Derangement Syndrome, despite the excesses of the House’s impeachment process. I knew that the Left would be

If you want to see advanced Trump Derangement Syndrom, Ukraine fantasies, and Greta Thunberg worship, just take a stroll over to my real-me Facebook page. It’s been a long time since I last shared with you the view from the Left, as seen through the eyes of my friends on

Reading unhinged Leftist delusions about Trump’s criminality — despite the Mueller report’s exoneration — reminds me strongly of people with dementia. When she was already in her high 80s, my mother had to go to the hospital for heart surgery. The surgery went very well and gave my mother another

When a gay magazine praises Iran’s treatment of gays and calls Trump a racist for challenging such laws, you’ve reached peak Trump Derangement Syndrome. In 2005, Iran hanged Mahmoud Asgari, 16, and Ayaz Marhoni, 18, for engaging in homosexual sex (although the Iranian authorities tried to cover by claiming the

When I see people in the grips of Trump Derangement Syndrome, I wonder if their brain function vanished before or after the syndrome set in. I’m being completely serious with the question I posed in my post title — Were people with Trump Derangement Syndrome always intellectually deficient? Was it

There’s no one theme tying together this Bookworm Beat. Instead, I serve up myriad interesting articles about all sorts of things. Victor Davis Hanson’s must-read this week is about the corruption in federal law enforcement. I’m a big believer in the rule of law, which is what separates a civil

Enjoy the lack of self-awareness found in the most popular Progressive comments to a Times op-ed warning against the dangers of Trump Derangement Syndrome. One of the joys in life during the Trump era is watching Progressives decompensate and self-destruct. All their rhetoric about inclusiveness, spiritual generosity, intellectual superiority has

I’m not usually a person who revels in Schadenfreude, but I have to say that a primal scream from Katha Pollitt against Trump-land is incredibly gratifying. Katha Pollitt didn’t set out to write a feel-good article. In fact, she feels terrible — but it’s the reasons behind her feelings that

A snapshot of Trump Derangement Syndrome: the different responses to reports about Trump’s alleged insensitivity versus Hillary’s selling America to Russia.

Trump Derangement Syndrome at the Emmy Awards revealed that in Hollywood, as in the USSR or North Korea, it’s dangerous to deviate from the party line. I didn’t watch the Emmy Awards. In fact, I haven’t watched the Emmy Awards in at least 20 years. I don’t watch the Emmy

Keith Olbermann, already known for Bush Derangement Syndrome, seems to have had his brain broken by Trump Derangement Syndrome. It’s not pretty. Do you remember that old anti-drug commercial about your brain on drugs? Apparently being a hard-Left, CornellPrinceton-educated Democrat in America has exactly the same effect. There’s no other
