Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Having now watched episodes 6 and 7 in House of Cards, I’m done with the show. I’m freeing up several hours of my life to read books, write, visit with friends — indeed, do anything but watch something that’s turned into yet another boring, polemic, Leftist wish factory. BEWARE —
Continue readingI sometimes wonder if my family’s entered into a secret compact to keep me away from my computer. I’ve gone from having five hours or so to myself every day from Monday to Friday to having perhaps two hours to myself for the entire week. It’s hard to think sometimes.
Continue readingI’m sneaking in a few minutes between appointments and telephone calls. It’s been a crazy day with appointments, endless telephone calls, contractors, and a house full of my family members (and, of course, the kids’ friends). Down time happens sporadically and I have problems focusing. I’ve got tons of good
Continue readingFamily took precedence this weekend. I was able to read stuff while I waited here and there for various family members, but I never got to my computer to post anything. I therefore have a huge backlog of articles and posts that I found interesting and would like to share
Continue readingIn September 2011, I wrote a post about the way teachers constantly present themselves as the hardest working, most underpaid people in America. I have a great deal of respect for teachers and, to the extent I deliver my kids to their care, I want them to be decent, knowledgeable,
Continue readingHillel Neuer writes in the Times of Israel about an accidental moment of moral clarity at the UN: Thursday a United Nations interpreter, unaware that her microphone was on, uttered words of truth in reaction to the General Assembly’s adoption of nine politically-motivated resolutions condemning Israel, and zero resolutions on the rest
Continue readingI don’t believe there is anyone in the world who knows more about the UN’s ugly obsession with Israel than Anne Bayefsky. In this short video, she nicely sums it up. Almost none of this is new to me, but I appreciate her calm, objective, organized approach to the information.

Continue readingAnother powerful Danny Ayalon video. Watch it, then, please, please, please share it with people. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_3A6_qSBBQ[/youtube] (Or view it here if it doesn’t load on my webpage.) Incidentally, will it make you feel better to know that Danny Ayalon, reciting just the facts set forth in the above video, is
Continue readingOthers have said it, but I like best the way Evelyn Gordon said it. After confirming the historic accuracy of Newt’s claim (namely, that Arabs moved into the land at the end of the 19th century, rather than having lived there since time immemorial), Gordon goes on: One might ask
Continue readingOver the years, I helped win at least two major cases because I re-framed the debate. In one case, a will contest case, the opposing party claimed that our client, a housekeeper, had committed fraud and elder abuse in order to inveigle a little old lady into leaving the housekeeper

Continue readingEd Morrissey has put together a very useful post summarizing various liberal media attempts to understand the Obama doctrine. Morrissey concludes at the end that, try as hard as one likes, “There really is no doctrine.” Morrissey is correct that there is no doctrine if one is looking for a

Here is the latest IDF real time video from the ship boarding, showing the “peace” activists in full fury: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6sAEYpHF24[/youtube] The West is being played — although perhaps
Continue readingSadie sent me a great trio of stories today, and I want to pass them on to you: The UN wants to make sure that the Western nation’s efforts to protect themselves against cross-dressing jihadists (you know, those guys who don burqas to hide bombs) don’t offend transgendered individuals (who
