Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
During the primaries, I was a #NeverTrumper, because I preferred Ted Cruz’s more constitutionally pure political ideology. Unfortunately for me, Ted Cruz didn’t win the primary. The iconoclastic, highly eccentric, often bombastic, and really rather vulgar Donald Trump did. What I did not do when Trump became the Republican candidate was

One of the parts of Hillary’s early history that people find most repulsive is the fact that in 1975 she represented a child rapist, Thomas Alfred Taylor, so successfully that she got him off with only two months time served. This video gives some information about that case, including Hillary’s

Trump is an unpleasant mixture of bullying, bombast, and boasting. I don’t like his style. But to those who are worried about his authoritarian streak, I’d like to point out that there’s only one candidate on the presidential ballot who has called for weakening both the First and Second Amendments —

Looking back at the Democrat convention, I couldn’t get an image out of my head. Imagine, if you well, the vast, lonely ocean. In the middle of the ocean is what looks to be an island. Closer inspection, though, reveals that it’s actually a tiny, barren rock that, over the

The following bill of indictment, which guest blogger JK Brown authored, is particularly timely in light of Harry Reid’s unseemly suggestion that America’s CIA and other security agencies lie to Trump because he’s “dangerous,” when Hillary is the only candidate running who handed America’s secrets over to foreign powers: ***

Trump is simultaneously a dream and a nightmare candidate. Stylistically, I adore his fearlessness, his utter disdain for political correctness, and his unfettered willingness to take the fight to the Left. Simultaneously, I dislike his carelessness with facts, his checkered (to say the least) ideological history, his scary stream-of-consciousness riffs,

Everything that’s wrong with the Left in one website. At City Journal, Oren Cass has written a short article that looks at modern Progressivism through the filter of Hillary’s campaign website. In some ways, the article says something we all know, which is that the modern Democrat party is not

I had at my house today two very nice young Bernie supporters who loathe Hillary but are #NeverTrumpers — which means, of course, two votes for Hillary. I did not enter into a political argument with them. Instead, I gave them a little food for thought. I agreed with them that

The other day, I wrote a post entitled “Dear Elites — no, Trump is not a fascist, but Hillary probably is.” I illustrated it with a picture I found on the internet of Hillary giving her famous “what difference does it make [that four men died on my watch]” testimony,

The hysterical screeds that self-styled “elite” Progressives are writing about Trump’s alleged fascism betray appalling historical and political ignorance. It’s time again, therefore, for an education about political systems. Before I begin, though, let me give you a perfect example of the shrill, uninformed rants from America’s supposedly educated class. This

Apropos the shooting in Germany, Europe sure does seem to be having a lot of gun violence lately, doesn’t it? Apropos everyone from Obama to the #NeverTrumpers complaining how gloomy Trump’s speech was, what do they expect? He’s running as the opposition to the controlling political party. Is he supposed

Trump’s acceptance speech reminded me why American people have fallen so powerfully for him. It’s because he speaks past the political platitudes, past the parts of our minds anesthetized by political correctness and the fear of being called out, and tells us the things that our minds, in the deepest

True confession: I didn’t watch the convention last night. Mr. Bookworm, whose politics don’t align with mine, got to the TV first. I did read about it, however, and I came away with the impression that it was a blessing that so many turncoat GOP operatives stayed away. Frankly, operatives
