Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
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 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

The migraine is fading, helped by a surprise three-hour nap, and my energy is returning. Yay!!! Now I can blog: Was losing good for Ted Cruz? I was really in it to win it for Ted Cruz. I continue to think he is the most principled conservative in American politics.

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’m keeping this pinned to the top through Thursday. Scroll down for new posts.] Hillary Clinton intends to destroy the Second Amendment. Just the other day, one of her spokespeople sent out this email: Clinton believes Heller was wrongly decided in that cities and states should have the power to craft

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?

With Obama’s presidency winding down, Bill Whittle takes a look at every one of his disastrous foreign policy initiatives. No one can doubt that, in the last seven years, Obama has consistently betrayed America’s friends and emboldened, and strengthened, her enemies. Sadly, the blood that will be spilled in coming
Continue readingHaving thought about it a lot, I’m about to commit what many will believe is heresy: I believe conservatives should suck it up and vote for Trump so as to avoid a hard Left presidency. Trying to save the Republican party at this juncture is an intellectual and practical dead-end,

This fascinating video is not for any candidate or any party. It is a pure and perfect homage to the American dream and the American people. Captain Clay Higgins reminds us that we are and always have been a people “driven by imperfect men with perfect intent.” We’ve fought wars

.@tedcruz suspends his presidential bid – “path to victory has been foreclosed.” @realDonaldTrump is republican party’s presumptive nominee. — Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) May 4, 2016 A few points: 1.

My take on the decision to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 in place of Andrew Jackson? I find all this change and revisionism both silly and expensive but, having said that, here’s my position: They’re replacing the racist, slave-supporting, Indian-killing founder of the Democrat party with a gun-toting, Republican black
