The Trump inaugural speech echoes an in-flight safety video
Unlike George Will, I liked the pithy, punchy Trump inaugural speech. I didn’t see anything fascist in his claim that it’s time for America to repair herself before dashing out to be the world’s savior. That is, I see nothing peculiar in an American president making America’s economic health and

Donald Trump’s speech and the Judeo-Christian religious tradition
I don’t know about you, but I thought Donald Trump’s inauguration speech was excellent. It was short, direct, and outwardly focused. By “outwardly focused” I mean that President Trump, unlike President Obama, did not anoint himself as a godhead through endless self-references. Instead, Trump made the American people the stars

Bookworm Beat 12/24/16 — a Christmas round-up of posters on current issues
To begin, a reminder that, because patriots of old were willing to spend an unusually cold Christmas day in 1776 crossing an ice-filled river, hiking on freezing country roads, and fighting, all while ill-clothed and ill-shod, America got the best Christmas gift of all: LIBERTY. And now back to our

Trump’s taut tweet is a promise to Israel and a threat to the UN
For a while there, despite people’s concerns that Obama would use his lame duck period to shaft Israel, things looked relatively peaceful. We should have known that Obama, like the viper he is, would hide until ready to strike, and strike he did. And like a viper, he didn’t even

Bookworm Beat 12/22/16 — the random news edition
This is a random news edition because I’ve spent the day doing such scintillating things as cleaning the kitchen (including behind the refrigerator) to quell an ant infestation and spraying clothes with Pemethrin to prepare for an upcoming trip to some malarial hot spots. Throughout the course of the day,

Bookworm Beat 12/21/16 — the “election that never ends” edition
Yes, the Electoral College has spoken on the election, but the Progressives’ weeping, wailing, beating of breasts, and rending of garments continues unabated. That’s why you’ll find these articles pertinent, interesting, amusing and, sometimes, frightening. Don’t attack people from whom you want something. Hillary wanted votes from Americans but she

Donald Trump is the right leader for a rapidly changing world
Every single day, I’m more optimistic about President Donald Trump. I strongly believe he is going to be the right American leader for the massive, and definitely dangerous, changes that are taking place in the world today. One of the best analyses and predictions I’ve seen about a Donald Trump

Bookworm Beat 12/16/16 — the random politics edition
Thanks to my friends, I have an email box filled with links to fascinating, random politics. In keeping with that random spirit, I present to you this randomly organized post: Principled journalism versus American journalism. Conservatives have been understandably charmed by the meltdown that Kurt Eichenwald, a Newsweak reporter suffered,

Bookworm Beat 12/15/16 — political cartoons for the happy Trumper
Before I get to these great social and political cartoons, here’s a tweet that we all should repeat: CIA refuses to brief Congress about the Russian hacks? Fire the Director of the CIA TODAY and walk him out. https://t.co/etfO28slfw — Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) December 15, 2016 And now to cartoons

Conservatives, Israelis, and other people standing for truth and law are beginning to challenge the immoral, untrue premises underlying media “questions.” We are (I hope) witnessing the end of the “Are you still beating your wife” era of media-on-conservative (or Israel or Christian or anti-EU) interrogation:

Trump cabinet picks will return federal agencies to their original missions
This is one of the angry Progressive-generated posters that has appeared a few times on my Facebook feed: I originally was going to write a convoluted post about each agency’s original mission and the fact that Trump’s picks will return the agencies to those missions. Then I read Kevin Williamson

Donald Trump is not a fascist
In several posts, I’ve hammered away at the Progressive canard that Donald Trump is a fascist and that conservatives generally are fascists. My central point — always — is that American conservatives, including Donald Trump, are the antithesis of fascists because they want less government control, while a defining feature of

#BoycottTheBoycotters — Kellogg isn’t the only one to call you “fascist”
I have a new battle cry: #BoycottTheBoycotters! Thanks to Breitbart, Trump voters are well aware that Kellogg, rather than marketing its product to all consumers, has declared that roughly half of America’s consumers are “deplorable” and has declared a boycott against them. I know that sounds rather strong, but that’s exactly

POLL: Should Donald Trump ditch the comb-over and get a new hairstyle?
One of the things that’s encouraged the Left to ridicule Donald Trump is his current hairstyle. I found endless memes aimed at the man’s hair. Here are just a few examples: Although I’ve come to admire Trump a great deal — his energy; his intelligent, conservative appointments; his new approaches
