How long can the media and Democrat politicians continue to fool the American people?

Posted on April 26, 2020 by Bookworm

The saying about fooling people worries me. The media and Democrat leaders can’t fool all of us forever, but can they fool enough of us through November 3? I’m sure you know the old saying, “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people

Coronavirus reveals that leftists hate you; they really hate you

Posted on April 24, 2020 by Bookworm

When Wil Wheaton passes on to his supporters a leftist joke about those who protest shutdowns, I’m getting paranoid enough to see a threat in that joke. Wil Wheaton played the indescribably irritating character of Wesley on Star Trek : The Next Generation. Captain Picard’s irritated “Shut up, Wesley,” uttered when Wesley

Burdened by arbitrary government, people are making real sacrifices

Posted on April 24, 2020 by Bookworm

Lulu lives in a shutdown city, and thinks that there are ways to open up businesses while keeping safe because people’s huge sacrifices can’t go on forever. My friend Lulu sent me an essay about what she’s experiencing in one of the cities that’s been hit hard by the virus

Not sick, just tired open thread

I’m out of time and low on sleep, so blogging will have to wait until tomorrow — but feel free to comment here by following the Dan Crenshaw debate rules. I am one of those fortunate people who’s almost never bored. Between books, the internet, knitting, housekeeping, blogging, dog walking,

Wuhan virus reveals leftists’ apocalyptic hysteria

Posted on April 21, 2020April 23, 2020 by Bookworm

Leftists respond to the Wuhan virus with a mindless fear that resists logic and makes them believe death is appropriate for those who challenge their fear. I have to admit that, for the past few weeks, I’ve found fascinating perusing my real-me Facebook page because it gives me a chance

The different mindsets political parties have towards the Wuhan virus

Posted on April 19, 2020 by Bookworm

With the Wuhan Virus, Leftists’ and conservatives’ responses to opening up America reveal that they are responding to very different emotional imperatives. After selecting my groceries at Walmart yesterday, I ended up with a checkout clerk who was a young woman, maybe in her early 20s. She was wearing gloves

Wuhan flu: Thinking about things optimistically

Posted on April 19, 2020April 19, 2020 by Bookworm

We’ve been in a Wuhan flu tunnel for a while, one made much worse by Democrat policies and Democrat spin. I see a light, though, and I’m very optimistic. I mentioned Friday, in connection with my latest illustrated edition, that writing lately is like living through Groundhog Day while still

Bookworm Beat 4/17/20 — OMG! It’s another coronavirus illustrated edition!

Life lately feels like an unfunny version of Groundhog Day, so I’m grateful for Americans’ humor, insight, and wisdom coronavirus, Biden, or anything else.

The inchoate, vacuous emotionalism of Trump Derangement Syndrome

Posted on April 16, 2020April 16, 2020 by Bookworm

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased Trump Derangement Syndrome symptoms from moderate to acute, with rampant emotionalism erasing all sense and reason. I didn’t like Barack Obama. My dislike for him started with his policies and, eventually, extended to his person. Policy-wise, I didn’t like his frequently expressed belief that America

Random thoughts about the current American condition

Posted on April 14, 2020April 14, 2020 by Bookworm

This is a brain dump arising from reading hundreds of articles about COVID-19, and about how politicians and ordinary Americans are responding to it. The media are trying to con the public when it comes to blaming Trump for America’s allegedly “failed” response to COVID-19. Wolf Howling put up a

Bookworm Beat 4/13/20 — the “this is the place to come for coronavirus memes” illustrated edition

If you’re looking for coronavirus memes, my friend, you’ve come to the right place, and I’ll throw some bonus Biden memes, silly stuff, and random wisdom. He’s 94; she’s 91: If you liked this post, you can find more illustrated editions here.

Happy Easter

Posted on April 11, 2020April 11, 2020 by Bookworm

Happy Easter! To all my friends who celebrate Easter, I wish you a joyous day. This will definitely go down as the most peculiar American Easter in the last 100 years. I am certain, though, that you will discover, as we Jews did with our very peculiar 2020 Passover seders,

COVID-19: Behavior changes mean we’re not victims

Posted on April 11, 2020 by Bookworm

Seeing COVID-19-related behavioral changes in Walmart, especially among African-Americans, told me that we can control our destinies and reopen America. I’ve always been a rather fastidious person, but that went stratospheric in around 2003, which was the year that I stumbled non-stop from one cold to another for almost eight
