Modern Monetary Theory is taxation without representation

Posted on April 13, 2021April 13, 2021 by Bookworm

The Biden administration’s use of Modern Monetary Theory to create intentional inflation is a form of extreme taxation without representation. If you ask for the fancy definition, this is what you’ll see when you look up Modern Monetary Theory (MMT): MMT’s main tenets are that a government that issues its

The inevitable consequence of the Ivy Leagues’ racist admission standards

Posted on April 12, 2021April 12, 2021 by Bookworm

You can’t interfere with a meritocracy and expect the results still to have merit — but that’s what the stupidly woke Ivy Leagues are doing. This is a slightly older story that I’ve been meaning to write about for a long time; namely, the Ivy League’s attempt to deny admission

Vexing moral questions and pretty photos

Posted on April 11, 2021April 11, 2021 by Bookworm

In the fight against evil, how does one choose whether martyrdom or living to fight another day is the more effective option? We went again to lovely Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. This time, we went to the Swamp walk and took a boat tour through the former rice fields, which

I’m still here Open Thread

Posted on April 9, 2021 by Bookworm

I want to apologize for the silence at my end for the past few days, but it’s not going to change in the next day or two. You see, my daughter is visiting. Her firm gives her remote work time, which allows all the young people to visit their parents,

More pictures of Nature’s springtime extravagance

Posted on April 6, 2021 by Bookworm

In spring, we get a reminder that we are fortunate to live in a world of great beauty. I was back at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens yesterday. This time, the azaleas are in bloom. I would have liked to take more pictures showing how lush they were, but the gardens

The wonders of leftist cognitive dissonance

Posted on April 4, 2021 by Bookworm

It’s strange that, with full color, x-ray vision into the fetus’s world, leftists can both celebrate that view and still be pro-abortion. I grew up as a pro-abortion Democrat. I was unable to maintain that attitude when I saw the first ultrasound of my daughter at ten or eleven weeks

The lessons we only learn through pain

Posted on April 3, 2021 by Bookworm

Corporations funded the Democrat party and now openly push its policies. It’s time to give them a lesson in economic pain to make them stop. For anyone hoping that this is some weird S&M post, you’re at the wrong place. Instead, it’s about the fact that, while praising good behavior

My annual Passover post, with Biden in Pharaoh’s role this year

Posted on March 29, 2021 by Bookworm

Every year, I publish a variation of my Passover post, with the latest enemy of freedom starring as Pharaoh. This year, Biden is Pharaoh. For roughly 3,500 years, Jews have been telling and retelling the story of Passover — which is also the story of the world’s first revolt against

The left’s zero sum game and the human waste of -isms

Posted on March 28, 2021March 28, 2021 by Bookworm

For leftists, the pie is finite; possible competition must be winnowed out by artificially dividing humans into fake “meaningful” categories. The cold I wrote about is still bedeviling me a bit, so I went slightly Victorian and “took to the couch” this afternoon. I didn’t go full Victorian, of course,

Bookworm Beat 3/26/21 — the mammoth Second Amendment illustrated edition

Posted on March 26, 2021March 26, 2021 by Bookworm

With Dems again attacking the Second Amendment, I’ve assembled a slideshow with almost 500 Second Amendment memes from the last 8 years. If you hover your mouse anywhere over the slide show screen, you’ll see the controls  — forward, pause/play, backward.

The White House home page: A warning or an unwitting prophecy?

Posted on March 25, 2021March 25, 2021 by Bookworm

There’s something very odd about the image at the very top of the White House’s official homepage.  I went to the official White House homepage looking for a transcript of Biden’s press conference today. (No transcript there, so far.) I was immediately struck by the visuals at the top of

Don't help with the cold

The message in the cold that I caught

Posted on March 25, 2021 by Bookworm

I believe that there’s a lesson about masks — and what they’re really good at in today’s world — in the bad cold I caught. I have a cold, a nasty, snuffly, sore-throat, stuffy-nose, I-feel-sick kind of cold. The same kind of cold that I’ve probably had 200 times before

Is there an upside for men hidden in the Equality Act?

Posted on March 20, 2021 by Bookworm

Bear with me here, because I’ve got a weird theory about the Equality Act and the whole transwomen (i.e., fake women) thing. I am and will continue to be second to none in my assertion that there is no such thing as transgenderism — that is, wishing you were or
