Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
This is part three in my ongoing series challenging a simplistic pro-Bernie blog that is aimed at and popular with young people. I Like Bernie, But… states questions that worried Progressives might have about Bernie Sanders and gives short, usually highly misleading answers to those questions. I started a new
Continue readingOver the past twenty years or so, I’ve decided that some of the nicest people you’ll ever find hang out in two places: martial arts dojos and shooting ranges. That’s not what one would expect in places that train people in the art of defensive mayhem, but the reality is that
Continue readingA video has emerged from France purportedly showing a gang of Muslim immigrants armed with rocks and truncheons, descending upon a lone French man. The way these human predators slowly close in on the Frenchman reminds me of nothing so much as hyenas encircling a wounded lion or elephant. If this video is
Continue readingIsrael had yet another stabbing today, after yesterday’s horror attack, which killed a young mother of six in front of three of her children. Today, the pregnant woman who was stabbed survived, as did her baby. (If you don’t know about all this, don’t be surprised. The MSM assiduously ignores
Continue readingI don’t know how this happened, but in just three days of collecting articles on my cyber-spindle, I’ve managed to gather together almost thirty solid links I want to share with you. No time for chat, therefore; instead, I’ll plunge straight into my fascinating “world gone mad” edition: If you
Continue readingWhen it comes to clever political insights reduced to cartoons and posters, the internet is the ultimate form of crowd-sourcing, producing the very best stuff. Moreover, after Obama’s Executive Orders and crocodile tears, people were unusually inspired:
Continue readingI am not exaggerating when I say that I have been in love (in a political way) with Elbert Guillory ever since I first saw him back in mid-2013, when he was still ostensibly a Democrat. That feeling has never changed and, indeed, my deep and abiding respect for his
Continue readingThe Progressives on my Facebook feed are in a delighted tizzy. Obama actually cried — he cried! — when he spoke of his new unilaterally enacted gun control edicts limiting law-abiding Americans’ Second Amendment rights. I quote: “Bravo, Mr. President! Thank you so much for your leadership, your clear-headed thinking
Continue readingI have sitting in front of me a piece of a very juicy story that’s happening in real-time — and I can’t do anything about it right now! Two things stop me: The first is that, as I said, I currently only have a piece, and I need more information
Continue readingPart of why Andrew Breitbart was such an explosive presence in the conservative community was because he fully appreciated that “Politics is downstream from culture.” People’s attitudes flow from the culture around them, rather than from the political platforms dragged out and speeches made every four years. That’s why I
Continue readingAre you familiar with speed chess? I learned about it when I was at Cal. Since I worked at the Bancroft Library, I had access to an employee break room. Every day at lunch, two men would sit there, chess board in front of them, timer at their side, and
Continue readingMy teenage son said to me today, “Mom, I’ve noticed that all the really bad shootings happen in places where people aren’t allowed to have guns. Like, in Texas, when that lady had a meet about Muslim people, the people with guns prevented a mass shooting.” That pretty much says it

Continue readingA few words about Donald Trump’s campaign success Donald Trump is the ordinary American’s id. The id, of course, is our most basic intelligence, the one that gives us the atavistic reflexes that recognize danger and act on it to stay alive. Trump has cut through the political correctness that
