Trump is not Right Wing because America has no Right Wing
American conservatives, Trump included, by definition cannot be Right Wing, because their primary goal is to lessen government control over the individual. John Lott wrote an article challenging the media’s contention that the New Zealand mosque shooter is “right wing” and, naturally, tying that right-winged-ness to President Trump and his [Read More]

Religion should look like and act like religion — or why bother? *UPDATED*
There’s nothing like trying to find a good synagogue to teach you that, when religion seeks meaning in pop culture not God, it no longer serves mankind. Would any of you argue with me if I opened this post by saying that traditional religion is under attack in the West? [Read More]

Bookworm Beat 3/15/19 — Ides of March illustrated edition
It’s only the Ides of March, not April Fools’ Day, but this jumbo illustrated edition, with all the Leftist craziness, shows Americans played for fools. Regarding this first poster, I’m not giving it as an example of Americans being played for fools. I just love the Trump puppy, who looks [Read More]

The media once hid Democrat craziness; now it trumpets it
Back in the 1960s and 1970s, the media did its best to normalize Democrat craziness; today, though, the media trumpets Democrat craziness. That’s scary. I was a child in the 1960s and a teen in the 1970s. Every morning, along with my parents, I read the San Francisco Chronicle while we ate [Read More]

A delightful visit to historic Charleston
Charleston may well be the most beautiful city I’ve ever seen after decades of travel around the world. I try to convey some of that here. I just returned from my first visit to Charleston, South Carolina, and I have to say that I’m in love. I have traveled through [Read More]

Congressman Lee Zeldin Rips Anti-Semite, Ilhan Omar, on House Floor (video)
The three stooges (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar) in the House of Congress are the gift to cowering Republicans that keeps on giving. Kudos to Congressman Lee Zeldin for daring to go where Kevin McCarthy among others are too spineless to go. Published on Mar 11, 2019 by GLOBAL [Read More]

A power outage in Venezuela and Leftist denial
The collapse in Venezuela, rather than bringing enlightenment to America’s Leftists, instead sees them double-down on their delusions about socialism. This post is what Instapundit refers to as a “shot” and “chaser” scenario. Here’s the shot (hyperlinks omitted): In Venezuela, there’s a new front — the equivalent of an EMP [Read More]

Is #AOC-ward (aka Ocasio-Cortez) a mere puppet for sinister people?
Is a video arguing that Ocasio-Cortez isn’t a real politician but is instead an actress being used by hard-Left conspirators real or a conspiracy theory? A conservative Facebook group to which I belong, one with several hundred members, has seen at least four people post a video in which a [Read More]

Bookworm Beat 3/8/2019 — the Democrat Party goes full anti-Semitism
An illustrated edition focusing on the Dems’ weirdly ecumenical transition from anti-Black (slavery, Jim Crow, ghettoization) to untrammeled anti-Semitism. (Plus other examples of the myriad threats socialists pose to America, and the way Trump is a bulwark against those threats.) Before getting to the posters, a short video I urge [Read More]

Leftism, Islam, anti-Semitism, and the Jews
Democrats and Muslims have come together with anti-Semitism because it is their ideological destiny — and Leftist Jews are too indoctrinated to see it. One of the fascinating things about the world in which we live is the alliance between Leftists and Muslims. At first glance, it seems as if [Read More]

#DearFellowJews: a hashtag to help a #Jexodus (or #Jexit)
Jexodus (or Jexit) asks Jews to leave an increasingly anti-Semitic Democrat Party, something I’m trying to facilitate with tweets to my #DearFellowJews. If you’ve been paying attention to the news of late, you can’t have missed stories about anti-Semitism. For example, for many years now, France has periodically been roiled [Read More]

“Prisencolinensinainciusol” — how to sound as if you’re gifted at languages
Some people are gifted with languages — and some very special people are gifted at sounding as if they are gifted with languages. During the Israeli War of Independence, my father was extremely ill and spent some time in a hospital. Since this was a military hospital, he wasn’t in [Read More]

Dr. Seuss is in Leftist cross hairs, but conservatives shouldn’t rush to his support
With the Left now gunning for Dr. Seuss, it’s tempting for conservatives reflexively to support him — but they may want to think twice about doing so. I’m sure that you’ve already heard that, per the most recent Leftist purge of pre-woke people, ideas, and books, a new study states [Read More]

Reparations: The Holy Grail of Identity Politics (Part III)
Reparations for the unpaid labor of blacks held in slavery in America are speculative at best and cannot be fairly distributed or imposed. [Note: The picture to the left, which shows Democrat Robert Byrd in a KKK outfit. is a Photoshop, but I use it because, to use the phrase [Read More]
