Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
If you’re no longer receiving emails from Bookworm Room when there’s a new post up, I have a solution for you. A few days ago, I had between 2,500 and 3,000 subscribers to my blog — that is, if you signed up, every time I published a post, it would

I’m carving out an exception to all things socialist. When it comes to the tech oligarchs’ power, I think a little socialism is called for. For a long time, I believed that there could not possibly be a socialist idea I could support. After all, socialism is about vesting power

My apologies for the long silence. Things have been busy and I’ve been working 16 hour days. Not complaining; just explaining why blogging hasn’t happened. Now that the Sturm und Drang of the past days, weeks, and months is over, and we’re heading into the peculiar wonders of a Biden

Facebook has not banned those who fomented violence, opting instead to silence its political opponents. Therefore, I’m banning Facebook. I’m planning on canceling my Bookworm Facebook accounts (Bookworm and Sunny Berman) in a couple of days. Aside from Facebook’s anti-American censorship practices — which, by censoring the truth about Biden

The GOP poohbahs’ belief that they can save the party by bowing before the ascendant left shows how disconnected they are from voters. One thing that’s become clear in the past week is that the Republican party in Washington, D.C., is completely disconnected from the ordinary Americans that, of necessity,

A theatrical deus ex machina will not appear in the next week to save us. We’re on our own but there are things we can do to save ourselves. The news is clear about what’s happening today in America: The American private sector — social media, internet search engines, web

What irritates me most about the out-of-the-blue attack that someone I thought was a friend leveled against me is the hypocrisy behind it. In 2016, when Trump took office, I lost two friends. One was a NeverTrumper who decided that his conservative values mattered less than his personal distaste for

For both Democrats and the Chinese Communist Party, it can get pretty deadly when they show their love for you. The title of this post, of course, is a trick question. As we’ve seen with today’s social media purge, the Democrats and the Chinese Communist Party have everything in common.

A 2012 scientific study about mRNA vaccines for coronaviruses seems to suggest problems down the line that nobody is talking about now. Someone sent me to this article, which seems to say that mRNA vaccines against coronaviruses can actually make you dangerously vulnerable to subsequent coronaviruses by triggering cytokine storms:

A charming Indian mystic tells a very funny joke that might give us hope in the event that Kamala Harris manages to become President. If Joe Biden does get sworn in, I predict that, one way or another, he’ll swiftly be booted in favor of President Harris. This would be

It’s a new year, but just how far are will that stimulus check go? This illustrated edition thinks about that and other 2020 madness.

Pence could still save the day, but the 12th Amendment has a Trump-friendly remedy if Senators refuse to accept Electoral votes. I’m willing to admit up front that mine could be a whackadoodle theory. I’m not a constitutional scholar and I was hopped up on caffeine and really tired when

With word out that TV pundits are buying books by the yard, I thought I’d better confirm my book bona fides. If I’d kept all the books I’ve bought over the years, I guesstimate that I would have two or three thousand books. I didn’t keep them, though. Books are

People have worried that Trump’s Democrat past taints him but the Battle of Battle of Teutoburg Forest predicts that it made him stronger. I keep thinking of the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, in 9 A.D. It’s the reason the Romans lost their hold on Germania and were never again able

March Hare has been a long-time friend to this blog, for she always leaves comments that are interesting, informed, and very humanist (in a good way, not a leftist “secular humanist” way). This year, March Hare shared a poem with me and with all of you to remind us that,
