Compare: Conservative rationalism v. Progressive emotionalism
A Victor Davis Hanson article and a Progressives’ fact-free attack text perfectly offset Conservative rationalism against Progressive emotionalism. This blog’s motto is “conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.” One of these days, I’ll get around to changing the word “liberals” to

Trump in Saudi Arabia: politely speaking the truth about Islamic extremism
Saudi Arabia respects Donald Trump because he promises to partner with it against Islamic extremism, without trying to change the Sunni Arab nations. From the first moment Trump’s plane landed in Saudi Arabia, things were different: Ignore those who try to say that, once off the tarmac, Trump finally did

To those fearing impeachment, snap out of it! Not going to happen.
Impeachment is a Progressive, GOP, #NeverTrump pipe dream. On known facts, there’s no basis, so here’s a slap in the face to snap you out of your fear. I see it all over my Facebook feed: triumphant Leftists, certain that we’re on the verge of impeaching Trump and weak-kneed conservatives,

Bookworm Beat 5/17/17 — the slow motion assassination of Donald Trump
A look at the bad (the media’s slow motion assassination attempt) and the good (which is that your vote for Trump was a good thing and he’s doing fine). My post title blatantly copies Scott Adams’ post today — The Slow-Motion Assassination of President Trump” target=”_blank”>The Slow-Motion Assassination of President

Confessions of a Trans-Redneck (or maybe I’m just Redneck fluid)
Cultural appropriation be damned. I am finally coming out of the closet as a trans-cultural Redneck and proud of it. Allow me to explain. I was raised in the belly of the beast, San Francisco, by European immigrant parents who fully embraced upper class, European culture in all of its

If you can read only one thing today, read VDH on firing bureaucrats
VDH comments on the most scandalous thing of all about Comey’s firing: namely, the fact that firing bureaucrats for malfeasance stopped for eight years. Victor Davis Hanson has a habit of writing brilliant posts. When something is a standout even by the high standards VDH has set for himself, you

The mainstream media muzzles President Trump lest people like what they hear
Now that the media has discovered that people like to hear what President Trump has to say, it’s making sure to silence his voice. In the run-up to the 2016 election, the media reported every single word that President Trump uttered. Every. Single. Word. It did so because its collective Leftist

Comey deserved to be fired for manifestly abusing his power at the FBI
Comey has been playing fast and loose with his powers as the nation’s chief law enforcement officer, making it entirely appropriate for Trump to fire him. James Comey deserved the boot and I’m only sorry that he did not get fired on Trump’s first day in office. Despite being the

Highlighting how ridiculous the first hundred days concept really is
The first hundred days concept is ridiculous as shown both by objective analysis and by a media swoon over Hillary’s first hundred days as “not-President.” Pravda . . . um, I mean the mainstream media has been tremendously excited about what it characterizes as the failure that is President Trump’s first

In the ongoing battle against social justice warriors, there’s no room for daintiness
Those who are offended by brute force tactics in the battle against social justice warriors forget that we are in an ideological war with real enemies. He’s been making popular, funny videos challenging social justice warriors for over a year now, but somehow I managed to miss entirely the Chris

Dear Nicholas Kristoff: Trump isn’t the scary guy. Obama gambled with America.
Nicholas Kristoff calls Trump scary and reckless. Somehow he missed eight years of Obama’s incredibly scary and reckless behavior. The only time I ever take Nicholas Kristoff seriously is when he writes about the horrors of obstretric fistula. It’s a dreadful affliction and there are charities that are trying to

Bookworm Beat 4/18/17 — a potpourri of interesting, random stuff
Here’s a down-and-dirty Bookworm Beat that’s still replete with things to entertain and inform. I’d meant to blog more today, as well as to clean my office, but I had a sick dog and that took both my time and my attention. All is well with the dog — it’s

Trump has a pro-American foreign policy that owes nothing to either Wilson or Obama
For 100 years, the Wilson Doctrine defined American foreign policy, whether applied affirmatively or, under Obama, negatively. Trump is changing all that. When the Great War (now known as World War I) erupted in 1914, dragging Europe from the pinnacle of civilization into an abyss of mindless killing, President Woodrow
