A Struggle for the Soul of America
The acquittal in San Francisco of an illegal alien of all homicide charges throws into unusually sharp relief the difference between the destructive leftists who seek a "fundamental transformation" of the United States and the patriots who defend the country as she was founded to be. Heather MacDonald: Advocates for illegal immigrants are unrepentant after…

Why Alabamans Should Vote for Roy Moore
Tully Borland makes the case in The Federalist. In so doing he has provoked a crap storm of controversy. See here and here. The quality of the Twitter jabs of an army of thoughtless twits justifies my talk of a crap storm. It is depressing to realize how few people today are able calmly to…

Asymmetrical Polarization
Political polarization is said to be asymmetrical when one of the political poles bears more responsibility than the other for exacerbating the polarization. But given the fact of polarization, it comes as no surprise that the Left blames the Right and the Right the Left. We all seem to agree that polarization is not good,…

Conrad Black on Hillary on What Happened
Believe it or not, I actually have Hillary Clinton's What Happened checked out of a local library and have read chunks of it. But there is no need for me to comment on the 492 page exercise in self-deception and outright lying inasmuch as Conrad Black has done a fine job of it. Here are…

Al Franken’s Porn-O-Rama
What does it say about the Democrat Party that it would support a scumbag like Franken for the U. S. Senate? Franken's Porn-O-Rama is no Satire More here (Newsweek), here (Atlantic), and here (WashPo). No, I won't link to the 'Puffington Host.'

Bill Clinton’s Impeachment
I heard Representative Jackie Speier (D-California) say on Face the Nation this morning that former U. S. president William Jefferson Clinton "faced impeachment." Not so. He was impeached. What he faced, but did not suffer, was removal from office. Impeachment is not the same as removal from office. Impeachment is analogous to indictment in regular…

Clinton Redux
Here: In the past few days a number of notable liberals have decided to take allegations of sexual assault against former president Bill Clinton seriously. Let’s just say that discarding the Clintons when they’re no longer politically useful to retroactively grab the higher moral ground isn’t exactly an act of heroism. But if we’re going…

I May Have To Eat My Words
A repost from 5 November 2016, just three days before the historic Trump victory that still has lefties fuming and flailing. And I did have to eat my words. We sane conservatives who voted for Trump have been vindicated in spades and the quisling, never-trumping, pseudo-cons are sliding deeper into irrelevance with every passing day,…

A ‘Marxist’ Explanation of the Trump Revolution
A good explanation, but not particularly Marxist.

It Speaks Volumes
Disgusting but true: Bush 41 (George H. W. Bush) voted for Hillary and his son Bush 43 (George W. Bush) for none of the above. Call them Cozy Little Club firsters. These 'conservatives' seem to think that conserving their cozy cocoon trumps tackling real problems. What these bow-tie boys value are their privileges and perquisites…

What Trump Could Say to Obama
"You didn't build that!" We should never allow ourselves to forget all the stupid things Obama said, Obama, a man hailed as brilliant by that arbiter of intellect, the illustrious Chris Mathews. Does the latter still get a thrill up his leg when he thinks of the man? Or maybe the thrill is gone. Rejoice…

Crooked Hillary
My title is the first instance of my using the expression 'Crooked Hillary.' I now feel fully justified in using it. I now hand off to Donna Brazile, Inside Hillary Clinton's Secret Takeover of the DNC. I am having a hard time resisting another slug at the NeverTrumpers. But resist temptation I will. I just…

Republicans
Parlano molto ma fanno poco. They talk a lot but do little.

David Gelernter on Trump
Via Power Line (emphasis added): I remain absolutely a supporter and a sympathizer of Trump. And you know, no president checks every box. I think his virtues far outweigh his faults. I do wish he would take the office and the history of the office more seriously than he does . . . Just the…

Dirty Hillary
Hoist by her own Russian petard. The more we know about her, the better Trump looks by comparison. Those of us who rolled the dice and voted for him have been vindicated in spades.
