Trump crept a little bit closer to earning my vote today

I’m not a Trump voter; I’m a #NeverHillary voter.  However, I’d much prefer to vote for someone than against someone else. Voting is more fulfilling as an affirmative act than as a negative one. So, I look for those moments when Trump says something that makes me think “Yes!” Well, Mr. Trump did

The Bookworm Beat 8-18-15 — the “Hillary is toast (and other stuff)” edition

Hillary is unfit to be president My friend Scott, the same one who wrote this excellent time line and analysis about Hillary’s criminal malfeasance, continues to follow the Hillary saga closely. In a recent email to me, he wrote: I can pretty much assure you, I and everyone else who

The Bookworm Beat 6-10-15 — the “clearing off the spindle” edition and open thread

I haven’t quite reconciled myself to the fact that today is Wednesday. I feel as if I’m caught in a perpetual Monday loop. Between work emergencies and Mom’s doctor appointments time, as Steve Miller said, “keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future.” I’ve got a backlog of articles that

The Bookworm Beat 4-10-15 — the mother of all round-ups

The Bookworm Beat 4-7-15 — the time “thief edition” and open thread

Oy! Even my interruptions keep being interrupted today. Still, I managed to gather together a few very interesting things: Heading into a another cooling period Even as the Left gets increasingly hysterical about “climate change,” which has become an all-purpose excuse for everything from drought, to deluge, to prostitution, actual

The Bookworm Beat (10/3/14) — End of the week roundup and Open Thread

Ebola in America is a failure of Big Government Yesterday I pointed out that, in all times and all places, protecting a population from epidemic disease is one of government’s core functions. (It’s irrelevant that these efforts often failed; government was still expected to make them.) Obama is failing that
