Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
You know what those of us who are not opera fans really hate about opera? We hate the fact that, after the heroine has been dealt the fatal blow, it still takes her another half hour of frantic soprano singing before she dies. I suspect that the attenuated operatic death scene

This has been a good weekend for political commentary, meaning that those who create posters have been very busy. These are all good although some (most notably those regarding Hillary’s “feminist” supporters, are amazingly vulgar):

A friend told me something very significant: This election is not between leftist and conservative or Democrat and Republican. It is, instead, an election pitting the globalists against the populists (or patriots, if you prefer). On the one hand, the Hillary hand, you have people: who don’t care that jobs

Scott Adams had this to say about the purported bombshell that Trump, a known playboy, talked dirty: Clinton supporters hated Trump before this latest outrage. Trump supporters already assumed he was like this. Independents probably assumed it too. Before you make assumptions about how this changes the election, see if

Do you remember back in the day, when we’d sneer “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”? Here we are, a couple of generations later, and a few highly vulgar, chauvinistic words from Donald Trump, a known vulgarian, are jettisoning an entire political campaign,

Yesterday I wrote a post saying that Trump is coming under the same attack that Palin did, not particularly because of their politics or accomplishments but because in the minds of the self-styled elite that populates Progressivism, Trump and Palin “are not one of us.” For people who value form

Yes, that caption is click bait exaggeration, but actually only by a little. Feminists have not said explicitly that Hillary is too mentally and emotionally weak to be president. They have, however, said it implicitly by saying that, to the extent she didn’t completely destroy Trump during the first debate, it

I expended most of my authorial energy today attacking PBS’s Frontline show The Choice 2016, which purported to delve into Hillary’s and Donald’s character to help inform people in advance of the election but which was, in fact, a Hillary hagiography and a Donald hit piece. Still, there are a

Tuesday night, PBS’s Frontline premiered The Choice 2016, which purported to be a documentary examining the lives and careers of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. It was not, in fact, an honest documentary. It was a savage hit piece, using a patina of documentary sobriety to hide its core dishonesty.

I look away for a couple of days, and WOW! Magazine, the Watcher’s Council’s collaborative online magazine, simply explodes with content, all of it good. And remember, as you look at these articles, being informed matters. If you’re not informed, you’re like the dopes who watch PBS Frontline’s recent “documentary”

I scored Trump as the victor in the debate because he did what he needed to persuade, whereas Hectoring Hillary’s “teacher’s pet” stylings and grackle voice were offputting. Here’s are some excerpts from what other commentators have to say about Trump and Hillary. What a lot of them have in

I tried to watch the debate, not as a politics nerd who is up on a lot of data, but based on what I’ve learned about persuasion techniques from reading Scott Adams’ posts. This meant tuning out a lot of the words and focusing on the key points Hillary and

With the presidential debate almost upon us, this is the right time to think about the two candidates and America’s political situation. The years to come will demand a strong president. The New York Times wrote an utterly ludicrous endorsement of Hillary Clinton, one that should be in the dictionary next

Ted Cruz announced yesterday that he will, in fact, be voting for Donald Trump. In the Facebook post explaining his decision to vote for a man who treated him and his family brutally during the primaries, Cruz made the same points I’ve been making for months: First, that Hillary is

I can’t say too much lest I breach Little Bookworm’s privacy, but suffice it to say that, after only two weeks at her Obscenely Expensive Liberal Arts College, she has already taken a giant step in the direction of moronic, damaging Leftism. I have refrained from berating her because that
