Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
After World War II, Pastor Martin Niemöller penned his famous “First they came” poem, detailing the cowardice of the intelligentsia in the lead-up to WWII. It’s time for an updated version of that, one for the jihadists in our midst: First they came for the box cutters and utility blades,

Belshazzar was a great king who sneered at the Bible, partied decadently, and failed to read the handwriting on the wall when he might still have saved himself and his people.* His story is the story of the American Left. For the entirely of the Obama presidency, the Left focuses

Warning! Warning! Warning! Okay, two warnings really. The first warning is that Hillary is out to get your guns. The second warning is that I’m going to use this post to shill my collection of essays, Our Second Amendment Rights In Ten Essays. I consider the second item something of

[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

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

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?

I attended a talk yesterday by Prof. John R. Lott, author of More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws. He spoke for almost an hour, but was so interesting that everyone attending the talk was surprised when he looked at his watch and announced that he seemed
Continue readingAgain, my apologies for a quiet day. Between finalizing some matters relating to my Mom’s estate, relatives in from out-of-town, and just a touch of existential despair about the news, I either didn’t have time or heart to blog today. I do however have wonderful posters. This illustrated edition is
Continue readingThis is part three in my ongoing series challenging a simplistic pro-Bernie blog that is aimed at and popular with young people. I Like Bernie, But… states questions that worried Progressives might have about Bernie Sanders and gives short, usually highly misleading answers to those questions. I started a new
Continue readingOver the past twenty years or so, I’ve decided that some of the nicest people you’ll ever find hang out in two places: martial arts dojos and shooting ranges. That’s not what one would expect in places that train people in the art of defensive mayhem, but the reality is that

The way these human predators slowly close in on the Frenchman reminds me of nothing so much as hyenas encircling a wounded lion or elephant. If this video is

Today, the pregnant woman who was stabbed survived, as did her baby. (If you don’t know about all this, don’t be surprised. The MSM assiduously ignores

No time for chat, therefore; instead, I’ll plunge straight into my fascinating “world gone mad” edition: If you
