Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
As past posts show, my attitude towards Trump is that I don’t like him, but I like Hillary even less and fear her more. There are occasions, though, when I really want to vote for Trump, and the fascist attack on Trump supporters in San Jose yesterday marks one of those

Yes, it’s a little strange to bring Jewish dietary laws into a political discussion, but there’s actually a point to all this. So please bear with me as I take a shallow walk through a deep subject to arrive at a political metaphor. Most Americans are familiar with the concept

Benito Mussolini was the first leader to lead under the “fascism” banner. Having placed himself there, he offered the core definition of fascism: “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.” You’ll notice that Mussolini did not claim that the state owns everything within its borders. He

I have been saying for at least a decade that the media is conservatism’s and America’s real enemy. The media acted in such a biased and corrupt way in 2008, I was certain that the spell was broken and that the media would be harmless in 2012. Boy, was I

I haven’t forgotten that tomorrow is Memorial Day but today is still just another Sunday — laundry, bills, and blogging. The first two are done, so it’s blogging time. America’s real class divide. I had a very interesting lunch the other day with Thomas Lifson (founder of American Thinker) and

I’m not a Trump voter; I’m a #NeverHillary voter. However, I’d much prefer to vote for someone than against someone else. Voting is more fulfilling as an affirmative act than as a negative one. So, I look for those moments when Trump says something that makes me think “Yes!” Well, Mr. Trump did

Thankfully, it’s not the kind of migraine that has me rushed off to the ER, or that sees me sunken into abject misery in a darkened room. I’m just lethargic, hence the fact that this Open Thread opened at almost 7 p.m. Pacific Time. Still, migraine or not, I’ve got

I’ve switched migraine medicines and have been a little limp and dazed, but the migraines are passing and my energy is returning — so what better thing to do than write a round-up? No, more Muslims will not save us from the ones we already have. Daniel Greenfield takes up

I bow to no person when it comes to my concerns about Trump’s disregard for the Constitution. But is he a fascist? I doubt it. First, Congress probably won’t be his friend, so it will finally start guarding its power more jealously than it did with Obama. Second, what’s one

Victor Davis Hanson wrote today about America’s complete loss of international credibility thanks to Barack Obama. Reading the beginning of the article reminded me of something I’ve often told the kids, which is that it’s easier to lose a good reputation than it is to lose a bad one: In

This is a good, long post. Mix a martini or make yourself some hot chocolate, find a quiet place, settle back, and read away! Trump woos conservatives. The big news today is Donald Trump’s list of proposed Supreme Court nominees, all of whom of are, in John Yoo’s words “outstanding

I’ll be away all day tomorrow, first doing an activity with the kids, and then listening to this year’s best a cappella groups (although this wonderful group from Israel won’t be there). I therefore hope that this post gives you lots of interesting stuff to read on Saturday. Pro-Trump? Anti-Trump?

This post’s title, of course, is facetious. Dennis Prager is entirely unaware of my blog (and, no, I’m not complaining about that fact). I have noticed over the years, though, that Prager will often write a post that says what I had earlier blogged about, although he always says it better
Continue readingIt appears that Ted Cruz still has a few tricks up his sleeve, not to get into the White House in 2017, but to force Donald Trump to sign onto a conservative agenda: Senator Ted Cruz’s supporters are mounting an effort to seize control of the Republican platform and the
