I’ll admit it’s been amusing, in a sadistic sort of way, to watch the left-wing meltdown since Donald Trump was elected President of the United States on November 8. First of all, and the US Constitution notwithstanding, they insisted was an illegitimate result because Trump only won the Electoral College, but not the plurality of […]

In the First Place
Last week I blogged about the differences, as I see them, between left and right. The next day I received my copy of Imprimis, a monthly publication of Hillsdale College.

Six or eight of you sent me a note saying you had contacted the Herald, […]
WANT CHANGE? LET’S DO IT OURSELVES!

But, (to repeat myself), here’s what I said at the end of my last blog. “So, if in fact what America does need, is someone who understands that a change in […]
