The Pelosi Argument for Limited Government
Limit the government and thereby limit the number of idiots in government.

Federal Rats Flee Sinking Ship
Victor Davis Hanson The entire Trump-Russia collusion narrative was always implausible. One, the Washington swamp of fixers such as Paul Manafort and John and Tony Podesta was mostly bipartisan and predated Trump. Two, the Trump administration’s Russia policies were far tougher on Vladimir Putin than were those of Barack Obama. Trump confronted Russia in Syria,…

Will I Vote for Donald J. Trump in 2020?
Absolutely. I didn't support Trump's nomination. In fact, I wrote many posts against it, one example here. But when Trump gained the Republican nomination, I realized that no serious conservative could fail to support him given the alternative. So I decided to roll the dice and encourage others to do so. The gist of my…

Speaker Pelosi Defames Attorney General Barr
Nancy Pelosi, that mendacious tool of Democrat delusion and self-destruction, beclowns herself once again. Joseph Klein: Frustrated that their Russian-Trump conspiracy narrative has gone up in smoke, Democrats are looking to hang an obstruction of justice charge around President Trump’s neck and are targeting Attorney General Barr as a convenient scapegoat for getting in their…

Damon Linker on Never-Trumping Neo-Cons
Why do never-trumping neo-con nitwits such as the bootless Max Boot allow Donald Trump to live rent-free in their heads and drive them crazy? That's my formulation of the question, not Linker's, but he provides a good answer to it ( emphases added): More fully than any other faction in the American commentariat, neocon pundits…

The inner compass of the professional politician is a weather vane.

Leftist ‘Logic’
The Mueller report found no wrongdoing on the part of Donald Trump or his team. The long investigation, prosecuted with pit-bull intensity by enemies of the president, failed to establish that he colluded with the Russians to influence the 2016 election. THEREFORE, reason key Democrats and the boys and girls of MSNBC and other leftist…

Trump Against the Multiculturalists
Excerpts (bolding and some subtitles added) from an outstanding essay by Thomas D. Klingenstein, Our House Divided: Multiculturalism vs. America: What is Multiculturalism? Multiculturalism conceives of society as a collection of cultural identity groups, each with its own worldview, all oppressed by white males, collectively existing within permeable national boundaries. Multiculturalism replaces American citizens with…

Norman Podhoretz on Trump and Never-Trumpers
Via Ace of Spades: Norman Podhoretz praises Trump for being a — yes — fighter, while the soft-handed crew of the S.S. Cuck all counsel surrender. One disagreement I have: NeverTrumpers are, in fact, willing to fight. They're willing to fight viciously and bitterly — so long as the opponents are conservatives. Then the knives…

A Double Standard or an Alinskyite Tactic?
One mistake I have corrected in my own political thinking — thanks in part to Malcolm Pollack and 'Jacques' — is the tendency to confuse the double standard with a hard-Left Alinskyite tactic the name of which, if it has one, I don't know. Suppose you and I are politically opposed but agree on certain…

Joe Biden: Creep, Clown, Opportunist, and Ignoramus
As as all of those things, a 'worthy' representative of the contemporary hard-Left Democrat party. Ben Shapiro has his number: More importantly, however, Biden's characterization of "English jurisprudential culture" as "white man's culture" is profoundly disturbing. English jurisprudential culture is rooted in the belief in the rule of law, due process of law, equal rights…

There is a Place for Polemic: A Characteristic Facebook Salvo
The trouble with people like 'Beto' the 'white Hispanic' blockhead, and Miss Occasional Cortex, is not just that they oppose the sound ideas that Dr. Hanson elucidates below, but that they could not even explain these ideas as a preliminary to a reasoned critique of them. And another thing. There is a lot of leftist…
