“Where Did You Read That?”

That’s something I’m always being asked. I used to think it was a way of arguing about my conclusions, without going to the trouble of actually listening and coming up with a response. 

After some time hearing that, again and again, I realized that many people have NO idea of where to find credible information that is not Leftist-approved.

So, in that spirit, here’s a short list:

According to Hoyt - an eclectic group of writers and bloggers, leaning Libertarian/All shades of Conservative, but generally hostile/suspicious to organized parties.

Ace of Spades - this has it all. A round-up of the latest news, a strong tech news section, art, pets, guns, and cooking.

Bookwormroom - Miscellaneous, mostly politics and culture. Posts memes periodically.

Cold Fury - the owner of this site has been sidelined by his medical issues. He will be heading to rehab to learn how to function after his operations. His co-bloggers have been keeping the lights on.

Front Page Magazine - no, I don't always agree with them, but they have a clear sense of who the players are behind Progressive politicians pulling the strong (check out their Discover the Networks section - you won't believe how often the same names keep popping up). Good pamphlets, too, many of them downloadable for free.

The Gateway Pundit - mostly covers the news no one else will. Does a lot of their own investigation on politics.

Maggie's Farm Blog - it's hard to describe. It's an eclectic mix of viewpoints on a variety of subjects. Some of the blogger specialize, other just post what interests them at the time.

Reason - a Libertarian blog. Generally reliable about taking the position "Just Leave Us the Hell Alone".

The New Neo - her recent post on Ray Epps was terrific.

Victory Girls Blog - the women's point of view on news, politics, and culture.

VoxDay - a contrarian, an individualist, a comic book publisher, runs Infogalactic (a competitor to WikiPedia), and Social Galactic, a not-free social media site. As VoxDay puts it, if you're not paying for the service, YOU are the product. I skim his site, as some of his rants are not that interesting. But, he does get stories that will later be on the news.

Wilder, Wealthy, Wise - the funny take on life today, along with some graphs, economics, analysis, and predictions.

1/13/2022 - Just read that Colin Flaherty, the writer whose specialty was finding stories of people who'd been target for assault or worse, because of their race. More on Colin here. Only 66 years old, not COVID, but cancer.
