Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
A fun, down-and-dirty post comparing China to the Aztec Empire and talking about the real economic difference between Red and Blue states. Yes, China does have something in common with the Aztecs. One of the points I’ve been making for about a decade is that, contrary to what they teach

The 1619 Project – a media driven campaign to view everything about this nation through a dark and myopic racial prism — is pure evil. It is the basest of modern lies, told to stir the basest of emotions, all to separate society and, thereby, to achieve a political end

With Bruce Ohr’s 302’s and Kathleen Kavalec’s memo available, the full picture of the agency machinations behind RussiaGate looks just like a coup. If the FBI and DOJ undertook the Trump Russia collusion investigation without probable cause, then the question becomes whether it was a coup by the government with

The Second Amendment is an unalienable right; plus, even assuming for the sake of argument that Trump has racist thoughts, his principles are not racist. For those who want to listen to the podcast, you can find it embedded below, or at this link, or (at last) you can hear

If we are to remain a nation of laws, then the people who manifestly engineered a coup against duly elected President Trump need to be called to account. Can you believe that it is 2019 and Trump has, to this moment at least, survived a coup attempt? I did not

The U.S. is a magnificent country, but I seem to have been meant for the Southeast — plus, a few words about Trump and the Baltimore kerfuffle. We spent exactly one week traversing the U.S. by the northern route (California to Nevada to Utah to Colorado to Kansas to Missouri

By stating the obvious about America-hating immigrants, Trump pushed the Overton window towards a more normal understanding of immigration and gratitude. Trump started today with a bang: So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most

My sense is that Jeffrey Epstein will not hurt Trump, even if Epstein names names, because Trump is all about stopping pedophiles, not being one. I first learned about Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest for sex trafficking when I saw this tweet from News-weak: I found News-weak’s framing to be interesting, to

The Benjamin Wittes “I believe” tweetstorm about Trump, intended to expose conservative “Doublethink,” instead exposed Leftist irrationality and ignorance. The anti-Trump blogosphere, both Leftists and #NeverTrumpers, is excited about an endless series of tweets from Benjamin Wittes all intended, in a sarcastic way, to challenge Trump and his supporters. Before

Just returned from an enjoyable and busy day of doing things that have nothing to do with politics, and one, moreover, in the company of people who have no interest in politics. I then turn on my computer and learn about Mueller’s despicable press conference. A prosecutor’s job in advance

Trump’s impeachment battle with Pelosi — he wants it; she doesn’t — and his negotiations with Iran and China, highlight his strategic and tactical genius. Of late, Trump has put me in mind of two very funny videos. But before I get to the videos, let me explain what I

This post offers you five reasons to view Part II of the Mueller Report as a purely political document without any supporting legal rationales. Part I of the Mueller Report conclusively found no evidence that President Trump or anyone close to him ever conspired with, or attempted to conspire with,

Hand-wringing about Trump’s personality and private life — when compared to most other recent Presidents — is akin to complaining that a leopard has spots. One of the things I hear from those who hate Trump personally is that he is worse than any other president who’s ever occupied the

Paying work is calling, but I here’s an open thread about Deep State spying, Beto’s descent and Buttigieg’s ascent, and the creepy, ooky Joe Biden campaign. I had a lull in my paying legal work for some time, something that always leaves me worried. For almost thirty years, whenever a

Regarding NeverTrumpers, are there two different kinds — the sleazy grifters and the genuinely principled people who cannot swallow the idea of Trump? The Torah (that is, the five books of Moses) imposes multiple life rules on Jews and how many of these rules a given Jew follows depends on
