The Bookworm Thinker of 18 Oct. 2021

Ms. Book W. Room, writing under the nom de guerre of Andrea Widburg, is employed by the conservative site, American Thinker, to edit submissions to the site and to write several daily posts of her own.  Below are her posts on this date.  Since commentary to the posts are restricted at American Thinker (long story), feel free to comment on the day’s offerings below.

Today’s Offerings:

A Pennsylvania mall that bans guns has mass shooting

Although the daily news always provides plenty of examples of people doing genuinely bad things (assault, robbery, rape, murder, etc.), the fact is that most people in America are law-abiding.  And while some will sit passively while a violent rape occurs directly in front of them, many of these good citizens will act when called upon to do so.  Nevertheless, America’s retail stores and entertainment venues insist on disarming the good guys under the delusional belief that it will stop the bad guys.

The latest example of this urge to disarm comes from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where a shooting occurred at the Park City Center shopping mall on Sunday afternoon . . .

Yes, California’s beautiful Lake Tahoe is extremely low

Lake Tahoe is in the headlines because the beautiful blue lake in the California Sierras is very low on account of the drought conditions in that state.  However, they’ve been that low before, and, knowing California’s history of droughts, they’ll be that low again.  When it comes to California, you just have to ride out the droughts, especially because the environmentalists prevent the state from building any new reservoirs for the growing population.

California is currently experiencing the third, or maybe it’s the fourth, drought in my lifetime. . . .

Is it time to deport Superman?

Superman is an illegal alien (very alien, coming as he does from the planet Krypton), whose doomed parents rocketed him to America as a baby while their planet was imploding.  You might call him a DREAMer.  However, in 1938, he burst onto the scene as a Man of Steel who was understood to be fighting not only for “truth” and “justice,” but also, by the Cold War, for “the American way.”  He may not have been born in this country, but his values were all American.

That’s all changed.  DC Comics, which owns the franchise, has announced that Superman is “evolving” beyond American parochialism. . . .

YouTube temporarily bans Steven Crowder for hurting transgender feelings

American Marxism, unable to use economics to attack America, now opts for tribalism, dividing Americans into victims and abusers.  The abusers are always straight White men.  Currently, the left’s two primary victim classes are Blacks and LGBTers, especially so-called transgender people.  Anything you say about them that is not slavishly supportive is hate speech, and that’s true whether your statements are factually accurate or not.  And that’s why popular YouTuber Steven Crowder has been put in YouTube’s deep freeze.

Steven Crowder is a popular conservative with a website and two channels on YouTube, one with 5.5 million subscribers and the other with 1 million subscribers.  Between the two channels, he uploads streaming content (his show) and videos that advance his mainstream conservative viewpoints.

On Friday, YouTube sent Crowder a notice that it had deleted an offending video and frozen for a week the channel that ran the video as punishment for his having dared to state that so-called “transgender women” (i.e., men) are a rape risk to women: . . .
