Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Believe it or not, there is a connection between Mother Gothel in Disney’s Rapunzel and the fact that, in America, cops are the good guys. One of my little Bookworms adores Tangled, Disney’s 2010 take on the story of Rapunzel. I get why. It’s a visual delight with charming songs.

Today’s middle-class parents have a unique cohort of obsessively loved children. No wonder they’re attractive targets to young men intent on inflicting pain. In America, we are experiencing something unique: For the first time in history, the clear majority of children die after their parents, not before. Before the modern

I want to help inner city residents and minorities learn that the Democrats are not their friends — and that Trump is. I’ve tried to do so in this letter. Dear Inner City Residents and Minorities Who Relentlessly Vote Democrat: If you look at economic numbers for the years from

If you’re looking for racism in the immigration debate, look to the Democrats who are projecting against Trump’s race-free words their own vile race hatred. Donald Trump disputes that he used the word “shithole” when referring to countries the citizens of which do not confer a benefit on America when

I want to share with you a visit I took to a remarkable school that, through respect and high expectations, raises children up from broken public schools. Regular readers know that I am not a fan of public schools. I’m a product of public schools as are my children. All

The reason well-compensated NFL players feel sorry for themselves is that race hustlers have sold them a line conflating all work with slavery. With the NFL brouhaha about kneeling or standing for the flag and the National Anthem continuing to bubble, the usual race hustlers have chimed in to say

While not all of the links in this post discuss the Second Amendment, most do. There’s other stuff too, about health care, the economy, etc. It’s all good. A great book about the Second Amendment. This post focuses heavily on the Second Amendment because, once again, Progressives are using an

With 1/5 of the NFL having doubled down on Marxist racism, we are witnessing its bet that, in the culture war, patriotic Americans will take a knee. By interjecting radical black Marxist/progressive politics into the NFL, the progressive left has just accepted — and indeed, doubled down — in a

The Leftist insanity never stops, whether it’s “black white supremacists” or the effect of climate change on anything and everything. Phew! I’ve been taking care of family matters, so I haven’t had the chance to read anything today, let alone write anything. Thankfully, Wolf Howling sent me a fascinating email

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

When it comes to Leftist insanity, 2017 is the year that keeps on giving. Whether it’s transgender madness or racial madness, it just never stops. I haven’t done a Bookworm Beat in a while. I was hoarding articles, but so much time kept passing between hoarding and then writing them

I explain why I think it’s reasonable to remove Confederate statues — but I also explain the strict limits I place on doing so. In yesterday’s post about Charlottesville and Confederate statues, all the comments seemed to go to the latter issue. On that issue, I wrote that I agree

At Charlottesville, Antifa and Neo-Nazis proved to be birds of a feather; and blacks are right to want to remove Confederate monuments from public spaces. I’ve been rather conspicuously silent about events in the South. As you know, I like to wait until the hysteria settles and facts emerge to

HBO is in trouble for producing “Confederate,” an alternate history in which the South won the war. The irony is that HBO and its foes are both wrong. (Only half of this essay was posted initially. My mistake. I have added the second half below the line. My apologies. [Bookworm

For 150 years, Democrats used the Big Lie about race to justify slavery and Jim Crow, and now they’re using the Big Lie technique to challenge gender norms. I want to share a thought with you that starts with slavery and ends with transsexuals. To get from one to the
