Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
60 Minutes recently did a show on Daniel Barenboim’s Middle Eastern orchestra — and snuck a sneaky shiv into Israel in the first minute. This past Sunday, 60 Minutes did a profile of Daniel Barenboim, who has put together an orchestra made up of Middle Eastern Muslims, including Iran, Syria, and Lebanon,

A trip through a few days worth of my Facebook posts shows that, with little effort, I can expose Proggies to ideas and facts they usually miss or ignore. Of late, between paying work, family demands, and a touch of the blecchies (not the flu, thank goodness, but I wasn’t

Following his unexpected victory, Trump is quickly becoming America’s most consequential conservative president, making him a one-man flock of Black Swans. A “Black Swan Event” is one that: Comes as a surprise – i.e., a “high-profile, hard-to-predict, and rare event . . . beyond the realm of normal expectations in

For the Bookworm Beat, 2017 has been a wonderful and entertaining year. Moreover, this Bookworm predicts that 2018 will be even better. I only believe the good polls. While the polling did prove accurate in Alabama, the reality is that for the past couple of years, those people who rely

It would have been nice to have kept the Alabama seat in Republican hands, but the truth is Trump doesn’t need it for now — he’s doing great on his own. I’d be lying if I said I was pleased about what happened tonight in Alabama. I strongly feel that

On a day that sees the news look like news in Groundhog Day, with old stories endlessly repeating, today’s illustrated edition still brings fresh laughs. As you look at this next poster, remember that Facebook is going to “protect us” from “fake news”: And here’s another example of how Facebook

Trump’s new Jerusalem policy, recognizes reality, ends a failed paradigm, begins a new era that finally promises peace in the Middle East. Congratulations #Jerusalem! pic.twitter.com/SIMqfB5I6h — Tel Aviv (@TelAviv) December 6, 2017 I was all ready to celebrate the big news but Linda Sarsour’s bakery is refusing to top my

Two videos, one from a Bedouin and one from a famed Kuwaiti writer, showing that Muslim Arabs can support Israel and will speak out for her. This first video is amazing. Adam Milstein, who brought the video to my attention, describes it as incredibly important and, if you watch MEMRI’s

I predicted 8 years ago that Obama’s Iran outreach would throw Israel and Saudi Arabia closer together, an alliance that has significant benefits for both. Although I haven’t written about Saudi Arabia, I have been paying a great deal of attention to what’s going on in that kingdom. If Prince

While not all of the links in this post discuss the Second Amendment, most do. There’s other stuff too, about health care, the economy, etc. It’s all good. A great book about the Second Amendment. This post focuses heavily on the Second Amendment because, once again, Progressives are using an

Mosab Hassan Yousef, a Palestinian, takes the floor at the UN to tell tyrants that their support for Palestinian “leadership” betrays the people. I don’t have anything to add. Just watch this amazing video:

You and I, people who pay attention to facts, know that Israel does not discriminate. This is a polite, helpful video for the fact-challenged.

Trump’s superb speech at the United Nations asserted American sovereignty, defended American security, and straightforwardly attacked America’s enemies. I loath the United Nations. It’s a forum that gives a ridiculous amount of power to tin-pot tyrants, especially of the Muslim variety, and that exists in large part to destroy Israel

The wonders of a newly installed kitchen sink remind me how I learned that socialism is an irredeemably corrupt system that will always fail. One of the things that I haven’t blogged in 2017 about is the fact that, owing to storm damage in January, I’ve been without a functioning

The deeply moving 14th Annual Ariel Avrech Lecture was the anchor for an inspiring weekend that cemented old friendships and introduced me to new friends. Some of you may remember that, about a week ago, I wrote a post saying that I’d be flying down to L.A. to attend the
