Who Will Stand Up for Civil Liberties?
Alan Dershowitz. I won't quote from his commentary; I have already discussed this matter in The Stalinization of Trump Derangement Syndrome. That there are still a few influential people such as Dershowitz with the civil courage to speak out supplies a slim basis for hope in the midst of the current madness.

The Stalinization of Trump Derangement Syndrome: “Show Me the Man, and I’ll Find You the Crime”
From a Cato Policy Report: . . . Alan Dershowitz discusses his time litigating cases in the old Soviet Union. He was always taken by the fact that they could prosecute anybody they wanted because some of the statutes were so vague. Dershowitz points out that this was a technique developed by Beria, the infamous…

Political ‘Circularity’
Democrats know how to circle the wagons, stand together, and refrain from attacking their own. Republicans seem to prefer the circular firing squad. And the Libertarians? Theirs is the self-indulgent circle jerk of those who will never have power.

Below, a couple of under-reported recent items that will gladden conservatives while eliciting howls of rage from the nattering knuckleheads of the Left. A correspondent of mine thinks that Trump has done only one conservative thing:…

Why Hillary Lost
Brilliant analysis by Victor Davis Hanson. A rasty tasty morsel (O felix erratum!): Peter Schweizer’s Clinton Cash is underappreciated for its effect on the campaign.

Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc?

And the person heading that investigation, the F. B. I. director, has been fired." (Timothy Egan, NYT Op-Ed, 11 May 2017) It might help if you read Rosenstein's Comey memorandum and…

Word of the Day: ‘Delope’
Wikipedia: Delope (French for "throwing away") is the practice of throwing away one's first fire in a pistol duel, in an attempt to abort the conflict. Some days I half-seriously think that dueling ought to be brought back. Some liberal-left scumbag slanders you, you challenge him to a duel, and then there is one less…

Nullification Crisis
How long can we last? Not long without some serious political cleansing of our institutions of the leftist scum that years of conservative inaction have allowed to accumulate. Myron Magnet at City Journal: Wait: let me get this straight. It’s legally binding for two underlings in the civil rights divisions of the Departments of Education…
