There is a hit piece on me in the New York Times today, which as a conservative I take as a point of honor. Just to note some of the inaccuracies in the piece: “When Christine Blasey Ford testified before Congress last month about Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh’s alleged sexual assault, an online news site called Right Wing […]

“A ‘he said, she said’ case is incredibly difficult to prove. But this case is even weaker than that.” – Rachel Mitchell During the hearings where Judge Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, was questioned, the Republicans deferred their questions to Maricopa County sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell. Well now, a memo from Rachel Mitchell has been released. […]

I have friends who have been raped. For some of them, it has been a traumatic event they’d rather forget. For others, it will impact them terribly for decades to come. Every time one of them has told me about it, my first impulse has always been to do terrible violence to the person the […]

Christine Blasey Ford has testified at the Kavanaugh hearings and she seems like a perfectly nice, sympathetic woman, I guess… if she isn’t falsely accusing you of sexual assault. However, there were still enormous problems with her testimony. 1. She still can’t confirm the basics of her account She can tell everyone definitively that Brett […]

I created a GoFundMe account for Brett Kavanaugh’s family and you can contribute to it here. It has raked in almost $30,000 and it is doing so well that GoFundMe has given me my own rep I can reach out to if there is any kind of issue. If we keep going like this, we may […]

An allegation of sexual assault is serious business and if what Christine Blasey Ford says is true, Brett Kavanaugh’s behavior was inexcusable. In her account, he forced her into a room, turned the music up to hide her screams, put his hand over her mouth, tried to remove her clothes as she struggled to get […]

One of the tricks liberals love most is taking something that is as close to universally despised as humanly possible, like racism, police shooting innocent people, or rape, and then declaring that they are bravely against it while their opponents are for it. To provide evidence for their gaslighting, they redefine the terms they’re discussing […]

A nation shouldn’t pay out money for hostages because it encourages more kidnapping. A political party shouldn’t throw a good man under the bus over what appear to be false allegations because it encourages more baseless claims against its nominees. It is very true that Republicans could throw Kavanaugh under the bus and slam through […]

Menlo Park, Calf. –– Google user Larry Perkins of Moab, Utah, has been making news with his spirited attacks on Facebook’s privacy policy. Over 44,000 Facebook users liked a viral post that read in part: Do you really trust Mark Zuckerberg with every detail of your life? Who you talk to and who you don’t? […]

Self-esteem can be a weird business. We’ve all met those people who are completely full of themselves for no earthly reason anyone can figure out. However, the more interesting people to me are the ones who seem to be absolutely amazing, but don’t like themselves. You’re thinking, “Wow! This is the coolest person I’ve met […]

Conservatives quite correctly consider the government to be the primary threat to their freedom in America. However, free speech goes beyond the First Amendment — and the government is not the only threat to it. As long as they’re at least lightly regulated and face real competition, corporations are not a threat to free speech. […]

“We can lead good, ethical lives, but some bad phraseology in a tweet can overwhelm it all – even though we know that’s not how we should define our fellow humans. What’s true about our fellow humans is that we are clever and stupid. We are grey areas….The great thing about social media was how […]

“Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.” – Tony Robbins Your mind will respond to any question you ask it. If you ask, “Why am I such a loser?” or “Why do I always screw everything up?” – you will get an answer. On the other hand, if you ask […]

One of the “it’s so horrible it’s funny” things about the Trump era has been all the “Wow! Pence better get ready because this time we’ve got him for sure” stories. Trump says something, a scandal breaks, the media reports that an anonymous person who may or may not exist has revealed a shocking crime […]

Sure, some people seem to have a genetic advantage when it comes to getting depressed, but that’s not most people. Most people depress themselves, unintentionally. However, if you want to guarantee that you’re depressed, you can’t leave it to chance. Instead, you need to methodically follow these steps until you’re deeply depressed. 1. Focus on depressing things […]

One of the worst things to happen to men and women in the modern age is the blurring of the line between masculine and feminine. There are a number of reasons for that. An over-feminized society. Feminist attacks on masculinity. Poor role models on TV. Fewer men growing up with their fathers or working in […]

Did you hear about the second Unite the Right white supremacist rally in D.C.? You must have heard about it because it was all over the news. In fact, it was so well covered by the media that there were more reporters at the event than white supremacists. Scott Heins ✔@scottheins Can’t stress enough how […]

Just as a man with a sledgehammer sees every problem as a wall to be smashed down, a socialist sees every problem in society as just another issue to pound with a big government program. Ironically, that includes problems CREATED by the government. For example, have you noticed that the left-wing “fix” for the cataclysmic […]

You may have noticed that liberals don’t seem to like white people who aren’t liberals very much. Many liberal minorities now regularly aim vicious attacks at white men in particular or white people as a group. You might think this would bother white liberals, but many of them actually echo those attacks, presumably in the […]

Like every presidential election that liberals lose, years later we’re still hearing about how unfair it all was. Of course, the favorite complaint of liberals this time around is “Russia did it!” Even if you accept for the sake of argument that Russia wanted Trump to win and hacked John Podesta’s email (and neither of […]

When anyone used to mention secession, my response was always the same, “We settled that issue during the Civil War.” I no longer feel that way and I have selfish reasons for it. Our country is in deep trouble. The level of debt we are piling on is unsustainable and given Republican reluctance to tackle […]

There is a strong Republican antitrust tradition. Tucker Carlson ✔@TuckerCarlson The big digital monopolies demand that we conform to their worldview and shut us down when we dissent. They have too much power. They are are threat to this country. Congress is doing nothing about it. It’s time to complain, while we still can. #Tucker […]

I’m a big fan of David French’s work, so I was disappointed to read his column “I Understand Why They Knelt.” Respectfully (and I mean that), I believe it is off-base on almost every point that matters. For example, French treats Trump’s suggestion that NFL players be fired as a First Amendment issue and an […]

I love women. Not in the social justice warrioresque “We must praise women as strong, capable CEOS and STEM graduates who can do anything men can do, but in heels” way, but in an old-school way. It’s easy to respect a mother who watches out for her children, a wife who is loyal to her […]

If you gauge the impact of the biggest names in psychology by the number of people they have influenced, Tony Robbins would be in the top 10 of the last century along with people like Freud, Jung, and Skinner. This is a little bit ironic because Richard Bandler and John Grinder invented neuro-linguistic programming, which […]

If you’ve never seen any of the four films in The Purge series, the movies have a fascinating premise. As America continues to go downhill, a political party rises to power by promising to allow Americans to engage in one 12-hour Purge per year, where all crime is LEGAL. In other words, have you ever wanted to […]

Being intelligent beats being stupid. Probably. I mean, if you’re really stupid, do you even know what you’re missing? In any case, everyone thinks having a high IQ is great — that it’s all being ahead of the curve, solving mathematical equations and Einsteining it up and sh*t (I don’t even know what that means, […]

A lot of people seem to confuse being an alpha male with being an @sshole. There are alpha males who are @ssholes (Steve Jobs fit that description), but that’s certainly not necessary. Let me also note that if you have to tell people that you’re an alpha because they won’t just figure it out on […]

“The startling truth is that nearly all of human progress has taken place in the last three hundred years (and for many of the billions of non-Westerners lifted out of crushing poverty thanks to capitalism, it’s happened in the last thirty years)….Capitalism is the most cooperative system ever created for the peaceful improvement of peoples’ […]
