Bookworm Beat 6/15/22: the guns and January 6 illustrated edition

Government pensions create moral collapse and slavery
People who need their retirement plans are chained to their jobs. They’ll turn a blind eye to corruption and even become obsessively loyal. See update below. This is not going to be a post about the fact that government pension plans can support corrupt systems in other countries; e.g. by

The things you can buy from our National Archives
Some of the things the National Archives sells are wonderful. As for other things…well, read this and see. We’ve decided to fill our home with a few of America’s most important documents. So far, we’ve gotten ourselves copies of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights,

Putting the Biden government’s COVID pressure in a proper historical context
With a historical perspective, it’s plain that Fauci, Facebook, and Biden are being hysterical about vaccines solely to increase their power. On Friday, Pervy Joe, the man occupying the White House, insisted that Facebook was “killing people” because it wasn’t censoring enough information about COVID. Facebook blasted back that it

A must-read thread about the real conspiracy
Patriots are right to believe that there is a massive Deep State conspiracy, although it may be different from the theory they’ve identified. MartyrMade took to Twitter to explain why Trump supporters and others are willing to accept completely the theory that Biden is a Pretender, not a president. In

Disease and Decline
In 1760, Charleston, S.C. faced what was to become known as the Great Small Pox Epidemic. In a city of 8,000 people, most of whom had no immunity, small pox spread during the early months of 1760. The response of Charlestonians was superior to the response of modern society to

VIDEO: “Rona Wonderland”
Here’s a clever, depressing, and creepy video. I’m working on another idea, but it’ll be a little while before I have it up:

A proposal to amend presidential term limits — by a Guest Author
I always enjoy it when people think out of the box. The same guest blogger who was brain storming ways to make elections more fair has come up with a suggestion about making the president’s office less of a “thing.” I find the idea intriguing and wanted to share it

It’s no surprise to learn that FBI agents knew about the anti-Trump coup and stayed silent
Newly released FBI texts show that middle-class people will usually ignore principles and take whatever path helps them pay their bills. In May 2017, Trump fired James Comey. Comey, of course, presented himself (he still does) as the most virtuous man in Washington. But even then, before we knew that

Where government gets its money
Talking with a young person about how the government gets its money saw me making an analogy to my mother crying decades ago over an empty bank account. When I was a little girl, we weren’t living in poverty, but we were hanging onto my mother’s cherished middle-class lifestyle by

Burdened by arbitrary government, people are making real sacrifices
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

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

Haunted houses, bureaucracy, and a Dem debate open thread
My time got eaten up by haunted nights and bureaucratic days. In the meantime, can I offer you a nice place to talk about tonight’s Democrat debate? Today was going to be a great blogging day. I went to bed before 1 a.m. and planned to get up early. I

Prohibition and the Great Society show that the government should not legislate vast social trends
Because the government is a lagging, not a leading, indicator, its giant pieces of legislation almost always lead to perpetual bureaucracy and corruption. I was talking yesterday with a friend — a lifelong conservative — who said, “You know, if I’d been alive in the 1960s, I probably would have

Horowitz Report: The Biggest Takeaway is that However The Hoax Began, It Ended As An Attempted Coup
The Horowitz Report is stunning, not for the IG’s anodyne conclusions, but for the facts he has uncovered: By far the most important is that the investigation continued after January 2017, when the wheels fell off the Steele Dossier. The FBI’s choices to lie and double down on a manifestly
