Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I was in the hospital taking care of a sundowning mom, so I forgot about the debate entirely. My anonymous friend, though, watched and sent me some impressions. Please note that he was remarking upon their debate performance and not on each person’s general merits as a candidate: I’ve been
Continue readingOne of the things conservatives bemoan is the fact that the view that voters have is filtered through and distorted by the Leftist media. I know that my journey from left to right accelerated rapidly when I first heard about these strange things called “blogs,” decided to investigate, sampled both
Continue readingThe revolution will be televised — thoughts on the shooting in Virginia Back in 1969 or 1970, during the height of the 1960s era upheavals, Gil Scott-Heron wrote a poem/song claiming “the revolution will not be televised.” The lyrics implied that the media would be so anodyne that, while revolution
Continue readingI had so much fun the last time I deconstructed the analytically and factually foolish posters I found on the Facebook pages of my many, many Leftist friends, that I thought I’d do it again. As before, my commentary is below each poster: I’ll Yid with Lid the floor on
Continue readingMy Progressive friends are flooding my Facebook feed with posters dedicated to what they perceive as the “wit and wisdom” of avowed socialist and Democrat Party candidate Bernie Sanders. I thought I’d take a look at what passes for intelligence from Bernie Sanders and his acolytes on the Left. My
Continue readingOne of my Facebook friends is an uber-Leftist, although he does staunchly support Israel. He never puts up personal posts. Instead, his Facebook feed is filled with posters, some inspirational, some funny, some pro-Israel, and most pro-Left and anti-Republican. I thought that for this illustrated edition, instead of the usual
Continue readingI’m having my own personal dog days of summer: the exchange student arrives today, school starts next week, the older child heads out into the world next month, and the dogs . . . well, the dogs just keep being their wonderful selves. In the meantime, even as my life

Continue readingAs you may have gathered from the number of things we did every day on our recent trip to Virginia and environs, ours was not a restful vacation. I capped off the fatigue with a cold and, since our return, have been having a very hard time motivating myself to
Continue readingI should be heading for bed, as it’s after midnight, but I’m so thrilled to have a moment to myself that I can’t resist a little blogging. I’m feeling especially smug (and tired) tonight because my heroic 1:30 a.m. efforts yesterday were the difference between success and ignominious failure on

Continue readingCarly Fiorina’s “hot seat” responses on Fox News are impressive. I especially appreciated her point about America’s medical care system, because that’s the same point I was trying to make: I was impressed with her Senate candidacy. I’m even more impressed when she’s addressing national issues.
Continue readingWith Carly Fiorina earning an increasing number of accolades for her campaign against Hillary Clinton, I thought I should republish my take on her from a 2010 talk she gave in Marin County when she made her unsuccessful run to get Barbara Boxer’s seat: *** Fiorina, who showed up right
Continue readingNo, you’re not imagining it. Yes, I have been AWOL. The legal work has finally tapered off, but other things have filled the vacuum, taking up both my time and energy. Some of them are very nice things but, much as I love you all, I can’t share them here.
