Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
A friend sent me to JewNews, which has the following Facebook poster. Pretty telling; pretty compelling: It’s a visual reminder of Golda Meir’s famous statement that “We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.” Sometimes it seems as if the only
Continue readingIt turns out that a long-time friend of mine is related by marriage to Matt Axelson, who died during Operation Redwings. As you recall, Marcus Luttrell memorialized Operation Redwings in Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10. A movie based upon
Continue readingLong, long day. Really long. I spent it with my mother, an experience that always exhausts me. Age has sucked everything but the life out of her. There’s no vestige anymore of the person she once was. That saddens me, even though I know it’s the way of things. A
Continue readingWhen I was in law school, I applied for to myriad law firms for a job. I had good grades (and ultimately ended up with offers from prestigious law firms), but what remains in my memory forever is a rejection letter I got from one rather insignificant law firm: Dear
Continue readingSince his first day in office, Obama has both passively and aggressively sought to undermine Israel. Unfortunately, he’s proven to be very good at that, which stands in stark contrast to his administrative ineptitude with Obamacare. Under Obama’s watch, Iran is getting near the nuclear bomb; the idea of a
Continue readingMy husband was working on a Word document that needed to have paragraphs and subparagraphs numbered. As I’m sure you know, if you start inserting paragraph numbers without creating distinct styles, Word takes on a life of its own, and starts generating multiple styles. Eventually, every paragraph in my husband’s
Continue readingYesterday, I suggested that you get a good laugh by watching a slobberingly loving Obamacare rap. Today, I insist that you watch this powerful, hypnotic video about the manifest antisemitism that drives the “Boycott, Divest and Sanction” (or “BDS”) movement against Israel, the world’s only Jewish nation: And if you’re
Continue readingI had lunch today with two friends, both conservative, neither Jewish. Since we were talking politics, both asked me a question I hear repeatedly from non-Jewish conservatives — How can Jews support Obama? It occurred to me — and this is a very depressing though — that Jews are repeating
Continue readingPalestinians only destroy. Israelis not only create, they resurrect. It’s amazing to see sophisticated plumbing emerge from the earth after 12 centuries. Even the New York Times is being forced to tell the truth about those new Obamacare policies — they’re really expensive. In isolation, high deductibles might not be
Continue readingI’m tired of pussy-footing around calling Obama merely dishonest, stupid, feral, leftist, etc. Let’s call it like it is: the man is evil. Only an evil man would say this (emphasis mine): There are times where I as President of the United States am going to have different tactical perspectives
Continue readingI’m still honest enough to give Nelson Mandela major kudos for electing not to turn South Africa into a racially-charged bloodbath when he became president. He could easily have chosen another tactic, and it speaks well of him that, for whatever reasons, he elected to go the way of peace
Continue readingBefore I begin, how do you like this lovely Currier and Ives image of nature’s bounty? My webmaster, Trip, suggested that as part of my site upgrade, I try to have a few images that are strongly associated with posts that might not otherwise be image-rich. When I think of
Continue readingAlinsky rule No. 13: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Today’s news: Senior officials in the White House have said that Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu “is desperate and weak,” in reaction to Netanyahu’s remonstrations against the deal struck with Iran over its nuclear weapons program.
Continue readingA “perfect storm” occurs when circumstances that normally operate independently from each other occur at the same time, with each heightening the other’s impact. Starting at sunset tonight, we are about to see the nexus of four circumstances that normally operate independent of each other, especially since two of those
Continue readingI went to bed depressed and waking up to these Drudge Report headlines reminded me why: The whole Iran-Munich moment has left me believing that Obama is much smarter than we realized. Even as he was lying to Israel about (a) having her back and (b) not negotiating with Iran,
