Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Socialism should be in the dust-bin of history. Instead, it is embraced by Democrats, many of whom have no understanding of it’s reality. The history of the world, since 1792, has been a competition to see which will win out — the Enlightenment ideals of the American Revolution, or the

After 2 years of big nothings, reasonable Leftists should abandon the Russia theory, but the Putin-Trump confab recharged the Left’s conspiracy mania.

Fifty years of school histories have lied about Ulysses S. Grant, who was a gifted man and consequential president. Not being a career politician helped. I’m reading Ron Chernow’s Grant. As I only started the book this morning, and have been reading in tiny bits and bytes, I’m only 3%

A romance novel explains why Trump is destroying the media and a Jewish survival doctrine provides a road map for conservatives who want to win. These are strange times and I sometimes have a strange brain. That may explain why, in the days since the Alabama election, when I read

The underlying thread in most of the following posters is that Stupid Leftists are having way too much of a say in politics and culture.

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

Insiders and observers are giving good advice to the Democrat party, but it all avoids the obvious: Democrats cannot tell the truth about their goals. Several articles in the news recently combine to highlight a salient point about today’s Democrat party. The first is from Dan Balz, at Wapo, the

Not all the lessons kids learn at college happen in the classroom. One young man is learning about socialism thanks to the dorm food policy. The neighborhood kids are returning from college for the summer. Most of them have spent a happy year at their respective colleges and therefore what

Looking at this grab-bag post, I can see the common thread: valuing tight-knit communities, nuclear families, and each individual’s worth. I know why Utah’s welfare is working. Megan McArdle wrote a much-talked-about article in which she looked at Utah, which has extremely good and affordable social services. The key to

Many years ago, I wrote one of my favorite American Thinker articles, in which I addressed the Left’s endless obsession with sexuality, especially sexuality in young children and teenagers. You’ll pardon me if I quote myself a little bit here: Those of us who came of age before the 1980s,

I had the privilege of hearing Charlie Kirk speak today. Oh. My. God. Charlie is a human dynamo: incredible intelligence and moral decency wrapped up in pure energy and passion, presented through the medium of a riveting presence. Some of you may already have gotten a taste of what Charlie offers

I have a hefty batch of links related to the election and the culture wars raging in America. I’ll try to write just enough to pique your interest so that you follow those links or watch the videos: The reason the Left opposes photo ID for voting. James O’Keefe, who is

I’m making a slight change to how I present political cartoons in future. Some of my blog friends have reported expensive, losing fights because they published political cartoons or other images that were obviously, or not so obviously, subject to copyright claims. To prevent that, I will no longer publish

True confession: I didn’t watch the convention last night. Mr. Bookworm, whose politics don’t align with mine, got to the TV first. I did read about it, however, and I came away with the impression that it was a blessing that so many turncoat GOP operatives stayed away. Frankly, operatives
