[VIDEO] Ted Cruz imagines every Leftist journalist’s or lawyer’s worst nightmare
A funny, pointed campaign ad from Ted Cruz:

[VIDEO] On the basis of this video alone, I would vote for Ted Cruz
He’s informed, he smart, he’s disciplined, and he’s wise enough not to slime people when all he has to do is stand aside and let them slime themselves: Oh, and about that 97% study, it’s so bogus.
Continue readingVote for Ted Cruz — because he’s the one your political opponents fear most *UPDATED*
Sometimes, the best way to figure out what politician will best serve your values and interests is to look at what those antithetical to your interests are trying to force upon you. In this election, the Leftist media and the decidedly non-conservative GOP are steering conservative voters either to Donald Trump or Marco
Continue readingOn Syrian refugees: Risky until proven safe
Although the question of Muslim refugees is no longer front page news, the Left is still keeping up the relentless drumbeat that those of us who oppose unfettered Syrian and Islamic immigration into America are racist, “Islamophobic,”* and unconstitutional. We’re told it’s wrong of us to judge the many by the
Continue reading[VIDEO] Cruz’s charming Christmas campaign ad
I’ve been seeing comments from Cruz’s political opponents who say he’s extremely calculating and will do anything to win. That is, they’re basically saying he’s the male Republican version of Hillary Clinton. I’m sure that Cruz is extremely calculating and will do anything he can do to win. The thing

Are 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 readingThe fundamental national security differences between Cruz and Rubio
During the fifth Republican candidates’ debate, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio clashed repeatedly over national security issues, with each accusing the other of having been weak on national defense in the past and following the wrong path into the future. Because American voters identify national security as their primary concern
Continue readingPost-Obama, Ted Cruz is the best candidate to repair our badly damaged Constitution
As spelled out to the credulous public, Trump’s proposal was to ban all Muslims forever. That’s a bad idea. It’s unreasonably xenophobic, and it prevents America from welcoming Muslims who are not religious zealots and who look favorably upon an open, pluralist society that respects the separation of church and state.

I can’t help it. When someone this big links to one of my posts, I have to boast: I won’t lie — with those recommendations, it’s been a good day at my blog.
Continue readingThe New York Times’ latest attack on Ted Cruz backfires, highlighting his virtues
Early last week, the New York Times published Frank Bruni’s overwrought essay, Anyone But Ted Cruz. The piece is clearly meant to assassinate Ted Cruz’s character by explaining why conservative voters should hate and fear him as much as Progressives do. As a preliminary matter, of course, any conservative who

We’re 11/12 of the way through a rather challenging year. I wonder what the last month will bring, not to mention the remaining 12.5 months of Obama’s presidency. Well, the future will be what it will be. Let’s use this round-up, which I compiled with a friend’s help, to focus on
Continue readingThe Bookworm Beat 11-29-15 — the “tidy office-tidy mind” edition
Inspired by Marie Kondo’s advice that true organization begins with throwing out everything that is neither useful nor sentimental, I am continuing to plow through every nook and cranny in my house. This is the first organization system that’s made sense to me, which is why I haven’t already given
Continue readingTop 10 reasons to vote for Ted Cruz
David P. Goldman (aka Spengler) is one of the smartest thinkers and writers out there. He’s knowledgeable, an insightful analyst, and leads with his brain, not his belly button. So if Goldman puts together a list of the top ten reasons to vote for Ted Cruz, you can be damn sure that
Continue readingSome of us (i.e., me) predicted Ted Cruz’s rise in the polls months ago
Today both Power Line and Commentary Magazine acknowledged that Ted Cruz may well be the last man standing. Because I love it when I’m right (yes, I have no shame), let me repeat my post from September, when I predicated precisely this outcome in the primaries: Ted Cruz, with his

My day has spiraled so wildly out of control, I despair of ever getting it back. Fortunately, a good friend who knows well how I think sent me an email that says much of what I would have said today if I’d had the time. So, here is the “Bookworm
