Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Feast of St. Benedict Biscop, Congress authorized the AUMF for the Persian Gulf War, LBJ’s 1966 SOTU, Super Bowl III, Nigerian Civil War, Hajj Stampede Holidays and Observances on January 12 Feast of St. Benedict Biscop (ca. 628-690), one of the more notable of the Anglo Saxon clerics. Over his

After 40 years on the receiving end of non-stop Iranian aggression, Trump changed the game and answered back in kind — and the Democrats are horrified. Trump just changed the game with Iran. Iran has spent the past 40 years as the single greatest destabilizing influence in the Middle East

Rather than demanding that politicians and white people fix a broken culture, American blacks need a Great Awakening that repairs them from the inside out. A year after requesting Ron Chernow’s Alexander Hamilton from my local library, my copy arrived this morning, and I’ve been reading away. I’ve just reached

Fifty years of mis-education in American schools culminates when a lawyer provides a laundry list of myths to justify claiming the existence of a Christian ISIS. A couple of days ago, the internet was abuzz with excitement because Qasim Rashid (Twitter name @MuslimIQ), an attorney and Muslim, claiming to have
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 readingMy brain is filled with Apocalyptic imagery, but it’s not because Obama is president, the Middle East is in flames, our southern border has collapsed, our economy is stagnant, Greece may drag down Europe, and Islamist’s are resurgent everywhere. It’s actually because last night, when my work load finally showed

Continue readingYou all remember from the Bush-era how we were told repeatedly that Dick Cheney was George Bush’s brain. That notion arose when the Left couldn’t square Bush’s effectiveness as an executive (never mind his years of executive experience) with their certainty that he was, in fact, an idiot. They were
Continue readingYears ago, during the Bush administration, Terry Gross, of NPR’s Fresh Air, interviewed a writer who was in an absolutely tizzy about Bush’s use of executive orders. Sadly, for the life of me, I can’t find that interview. What I also can’t find is any evidence that this author has
Continue readingSeth Mandel compares Obama’s hot mic moments (insulting Netanyahu; cutting private deals with the Russians) to George Bush’s single hot mic moment: [W]hen the microphones were off, Bush was–to no one’s surprise–just as supportive of our allies and as tough on our adversaries as he was in public. These moments
Continue readingYes, that’s a wildly mixed, virtually unintelligible metaphor in my post title, but I can actually explain it. Iran is pranking the U.S. Considering the way in which we were assured that an Obama in the White House would inaugurate a new era of foreign policy, what the Iranians are
Continue readingOn the one hand, we have a little man (figuratively speaking), sitting at a big, empty desk, speaking in deadened tones and flat words, as his eyes roam relentlessly back and forth between his teleprompter, desperately avoiding the single word that so aptly sums up American bravery and sacrifice: Victory!
