Happy Mother’s Day.

As part of my personal celebration, I am planning to indulge in one of my pamper pastimes: Sipping some fine California wine.

Sadly, eco-activists have targeted the Golden State’s vineyards in their latest fear campaign:

The study, published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), is billed...

Here’s the bummer: right-wing blogs are read by only a fraction of the electorate, and so the good information put out there by the professor is almost without voice in the grand scheme of things. The truth he utters deserves greater audience.

The tragedy is that right-wing bloggers, while being something like...

Since the rise of the Tea Party movement in the spring of 2009, the movement has been the target of Democratic politicians and supportive media.

The Tea Party was called un-American and terrorists for showing up at health care town halls and voicing an opinion.

The Department of Homeland security warned of dangers...

There was a useful fiction about Barack Obama. His cabinet would consist of a “team of rivals.”

After this week’s hearings, I doubt we’ll hear the term again regarding this administration.

Save us, Virginia.
Sir, I attended the Albemarle County Republican Breakfast this morning and happened upon this display of freedom in the parking lot. 5 of the 7 LG candidates spoke and it was a packed room. The Republican Nominating convention is May 18 and will be well attended. In Liberty, Brian P.s. albemarle surrounds charlottesville.

Benghazi exposed to be a big White House and State Department lie.

The IRS caught targeting Tea Party groups and those “educating on the Constitution and Bill of Rights.”

Republicans ready to pass amnesty for law breakers.

There will be no Saturday Night Card Game tonight.

I’m taking the night off and gathering my strength.<...

If you think Stephen Hawking’s decision not to attend a conference in Israel was a principled stand for academic or other freedoms, you can drop that notion.

Hawking, as many have pointed out in the past few days, has attended conferences in the past several years in such beacons of academic freedom...

Dear Prof. Jacobson, Well, the skies are blue, at least . . . After "One step away from #Gosnell," I figure we need our spirits lifted a bit, so I present the following, taken in Burns, Oregon, the other day. Sign - Oregon - Life Some background: Harney County, Oregon, is 10,226 sq. mi. (roughly the size of Massachusetts), and has a population of about 7,400, of which about 3/4 live in and around Burns. As you might guess from the photo, it's cattle ranching country. The remaining 1,850 souls (or so) are spread around the remaining 10,150 sq. mi. Blue State Oregon is four hours to the west, on the other side of the Cascades. It's another world away. Kind Regards, "Oregon Mike"
