Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I continue to believe that Trump did the right thing vis-a-vis Iran by killing Soleimani, the terrorist, and these are a few random thoughts to explain why. At a base, reflexive level, I’ve gotten to the point at which anything the Democrats are against, I’m for. If they think we

Did the Holocaust’s shadow give Progressive Jews such a fear of dying that they cling to a political ideology promising (but not delivering) peaceful death? A theory that popped into my mind yesterday that may help explain the mystery of the Progressive Jew, a person who clings desperately to the
Continue readingYesterday, I put up an image that tied together the significant differences between Obama’s response to a direct attack on America and Americans in Libya, versus a mass civilian murder in a country that’s already killed more than 100,000 of its, and created millions of refugees. I think its worth
Continue readingThey’re not yet calling him Barack “Chimpy Bush Hitler” Obama, but I feel a momentum building:
Continue readingI’m reading a very enjoyable novel right now that is completely on point about the way in which the Left operates, especially when it comes to the media and academia. The writer is tuned into the name calling that substitutes for informed debate. For example, when the book’s protagonist, Paul,
Continue readingI love my dojo. The teachers are, without exception, top quality and, also without exception, they are just about the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Oh, one other thing: without exception, they’re pro-Obama and anti-War. What this means is that you have people who dedicate their lives to teaching fighting,
Continue readingThere’s yet another movie coming out about the way in which the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq destroy lives and turn young men into pathetic losers: There is a grim timeliness to the release of “Brothers,” Jim Sheridan’s movie about the effects of war on the family of a Marine
Continue readingBefore today, I hadn’t heard of Frank Turek. After today, I’m going to keep an eye out for his articles. He’s written a really splendid article explaining how deeply, terribly wrong Obama’s every position is regarding Iraq. Frankly, for those who are well-informed, there’s nothing in this article you haven’t
Continue readingI was out this morning getting my oil changed — and learning that it will cost almost $2,000 to fix my car from its recent run-in with a low post. When I got home, I found an interesting message on my answering machine. It’s the recorded voice of Dennis Kucinich
Continue readingIn light of the Surge’s manifest success, John Hawkins, of Right Wing News, has written a column that assembles many of the Democratic gloom and doom predictions about the Surge when it was first proposed. Makes for interesting reading in that it exposes the profound ignorance and ideological blindness coming
Continue readingObama campaign is clearly a masterful example of the illusionist’s art. As you may recall, he managed to get the press to tout one of his rallies as one of the largest political rallies ever, although it subsequently emerged that it was mostly a big rock band event. He’s also
Continue readingThe story is amazing and the source — the normally anti-American Spiegel (a German magazine) — is equally amazing. According to this story, things in Baghdad are going really well, and the citizens have a renewed sense of well-being and purpose: There is an unexpected air of normalcy prevailing in
Continue readingFrederick Kagan has a fascinating comparison of the specific Iraq policy plans McCain and Obama advanced before the Surge. McCain actually envisioned a surge-like event, and described all the positive benefits that would flow from it — and his predictions proved to be completely accurate. Obama, of course, demanded retreat
Continue readingMy favorite quotation of the day, from a Dennis Prager column: “The Vietnam War did to American liberals what World War I did to most Europeans — it rendered them anti-war rather than anti-evil.” In one sentence, he’s summed up just about every fallacy that makes it so that liberals
Continue readingThe news story was the beating the Iranian thugs and terrorists took in Basra. But there was another type of thuggery going on, too, and Ralph Peters attacks it with a righteous zeal: LIKE many Americans, I get angry at biased “reporting” about Iraq and the spin from dishonest pundits.
