Sadly for those of us who are enthused by his ideas for combining conservatism and causes which, for no good reason, have been regarded as “progressive,” Dr. Liam Fox lost narrowly in the second round of voting for the leadership of the British Conservative Party. The votes were: David Cameron 90 (up from 56), David Davis 57 (down from 62) and Liam Fox 51 (up from 42). The party membership will now have a chance to vote and, barring unforeseen events, it is likely that they will vote overwhelmingly for the talented, young and charismatic David Cameron. In the campaign, however, I believe it is vital for the party that this is not seen as a “left versus right” struggle. In that respect, it will be interesting to see to whom Dr. Fox gives his backing.

Racism is the headline on President Trump’s Sunday tweets -- the media-Democrat complex assiduously describes them as “racist tweets” as if that were a fact rather than a trope. I don’t think they were racist; I think they were abjectly stupid.

The Anti-Semitic BDS Movement Advocates Illegal Discrimination
Yesterday, in a rather stunning feat of what looks like malicious trolling, Representative Ilhan Omar co-sponsored a resolution designed to support the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against the state of Israel.
