Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
All of the posts I’ll link to pre-date today’s New Hampshire primary. This is a NH primary-free zone. You might find it refreshing. And now, to the good stuff: Trump could destroy conservativism in America for decades. I think Charles Krauthammer hits the ball out of the park on this
Continue readingI received an email from my local Navy League chapter asking for some help. A retired USMC veteran with a wife and two young children was in a serious car accident. He will recover, but it will be a long, slow process. Jordan has a GoFundMe page but his friends haven’t quite been
Continue readingAnother day, another incredible collection of articles I think you’ll like, all of which I’ve tried to present in a way that’s both interesting and brief. Yet another government lie. Is everything we think we know about the cost of living data false? And worse, is the actual cost of
Continue readingBefore I start, if you owe quarterly taxes, have you paid them yet? Good. Now you can enjoy some pictures of troops and their dogs — some funny, some heartwarming, some sad. I’ve written before that our culture’s love of dogs is an important advantage we have over Islam. It’s not
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 readingAs my children and their friends have grown older, I’ve witnessed an interesting phenomenon: some of the sons are going into the military. Maybe if you live in the South, this is ordinary, but here in Marin it’s extraordinary. Polite post-9/11 lip service aside, most Marinites, if asked to dig
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 readingPlanned Parenthood’s obsession with death notwithstanding, ours is a country that values life. It’s in that context that I want to introduce you to Staff Sergeant Matthew James Whalen, who died on December 21, 2015 from a brain hemorrhage, leaving behind a wife, who is (or was) also in the
Continue readingColonel Richard Kemp, who is a career officer in the British Army, has seen battle in many parts of the world. His experience as an observer in Israel and Gaza last summer exposed him to something unique: a completely moral military. In this video, he provides the data supporting his
Continue readingDefense Secretary Ashton Carter is in the news because he announced that women can now serve in all combat positions, including Marine infantry and special forces, including the Navy SEALS. He did that despite mountains of evidence that women lack men’s strength and stamina. This means that the only way
Continue readingI have been collecting links for days and will try to share them all with you. Here goes: Only conservatives are paying attention In an attempt to deflect attention of Muslim depredations in Paris, the Left and its foot soldiers (all of whom seem to be my Facebook friends) immediately
Continue readingI’ve been going through my emails, with 200 down, 300 or so yet to go. Even though I’m only less than halfway through, I’ve discovered marvelous articles hiding in my email box thanks to friends from all over. Did Merkel unilaterally doom Europe? We no longer subscribe to the great man
Continue readingFleet Week is almost upon us here in San Francisco. As many of you know, it’s one of my favorite times of year. But Fleet Week isn’t just about the civilians in San Francisco; it’s also about the sailors and Marines who visit our city. If you’d like to make
Continue readingMy weekend got derailed because my mother is ill. She’s in a skilled nursing facility, but likes my company. I also am a fixed reference point when she gets delirious, so I can help re-orient her. Fortunately, my insistently anonymous friend knows what interests me and sent me a wonderful
Continue readingI have been to several American military cemeteries in Western Europe. They are deeply moving places, because they shelter the bones of Americans who died far from home, defending the freedoms of people other than themselves. The following email therefore resonated very strongly with me: In alphabetical order 1. The American
