Robert De Niro . . .
. . . must be getting some 'Mean Tweets' along about now over his attack on Donald Trump. I've admired De Niro as an actor ever since Martin Scorsese's 1973 Mean Streets. Now actors and actresses have a right to their political opinions, but I can't see that most of them have a right to…

Hillary’s Nonsense About “No Religious Test”
Hillary got clobbered in last night's debate, but Trump missed an opportunity to refute her nonsensical claim that vetting Muslim immigrants involves the application of a "religious test." In Article VI of the U. S. Constitution we read: . . . no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or…

David French on Hillary on ‘Implicit Bias.’ Hillary as Cultural Marxist. Psychology of the NeverTrumper
Here (emphasis added): Indeed, in the debate Monday night, Clinton framed her discussion of “implicit bias” as a malady we all suffer from, telling Lester Holt: “I think implicit bias is a problem for everyone, not just police. I think, unfortunately, too many of us in our great country jump to conclusions about each other.”…

Exaggeration and the Erosion of Credibility
Why do people exaggerate in serious contexts? The logically prior question is: What is exaggeration, and how does it differ from joking, lying, bullshitting, and metaphorical uses of language? Donald Trump in the first of his presidential debates with Hillary Clinton made the astonishing claim that she has been fighting ISIS all her adult life.…

Hillary ‘Won’ Last Night’s Debate
I spent the whole day yesterday at an auto dealership buying my wife a new car. But last night I didn't dream about the car, but about Hillary who appeared young and stunning and topless, but with very small breasts. What does this dream mean? My subconscious was telling me that Hillary came across in…

How to Multiply One’s Vote
One way to circumvent 'One man, one vote' is by cheating. That's the liberal way. Vote early and vote often. Vote even if you are dead. Vote by mail and then in person. That liberals intend to make the polling places safe for voter fraud is clear from their breath-takingly sham arguments against photo ID.…

Ted Cruz Endorses Trump
If you are conservative and rational, his arguments will convince you. Enough of this NeverTrump nonsense.

American Fascism?
I am not worried about American fascism. We Americans are not a bunch of Germans about to start goose-stepping behind some dictator. Our traditions of liberty and self-reliance are long-standing and deep-running. A sizeable contingent of Trump supporters are gun rights activists who would be open to an extra-political remedy should anyone seek to instantiate…

An Unpollable Election?
Peggy Noonan: The most arresting sentence of the week came from a sophisticated Manhattan man friendly with all sides. I asked if he knows what he’ll do in November. “I know exactly,” he said with some spirit. “I will be one of the 40 million who will deny, the day after the election, that they…

Hillary the Supine
Hillary is a supine defeatist in the face of Islamic terror and ought to be held in contempt for that and other reasons, as witness her recent remark that Trump is a recruiter for ISIS. It's a good thing Hillary wasn't around when the Axis Powers were the main threat to civilization. She would have…

Does Trump Incite Violence?
Yes, but only in the febrile 'mind' of an Hillarious liberal. You have to realize that when Trump is 'off script,' he talks like a rude New York working man in a bar. He does this in part because it is his nature to be rude and vulgar, but also because he realizes that this…

Liberals are Nervous
From The New Yorker, 12 September 2016. By David Sipress. "I'm giving you something for Hillary's pneumonia."

So What is Alt-Right Anyway?
John Derbyshire gives the following answer (HT: Malcolm Pollack): So what, in my opinion, makes the Alt-Right a distinct thing — not by any means a party, a faction, or a movement, but a collection of souls with something in common? Here's my answer: We don't like flagrant nonsense in the discussion of human affairs. We…
