Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
My friend JN sent me the following email about the crazy things on Twitter that took up brain space last week, so I had to share it. Hillary Clinton is as bad as predictions as she is at campaigning. Here’s her tweet (to herself. WTF?) from a year ago… Those

For a different perspective, today’s Bookworm Beat arrives at your computer thanks to Wolf Howling, who likes serious news with a touch of the surreal. Arab construction worker writes “good morning” on FB in Arabic. Facebook auto translator translates it as “attack them.” Israeli police arrest him before noting the
Continue readingGen. Kelly’s press conference about military phone calls is breathtaking, moving, informative, and devastating to the Progressive chattering classes. Gen. Kelly doesn’t waste a single word. Everything he says is powerful and true. Please watch the whole video. When Gen. Kelly gets near the end of his briefing, his indictment

The Me Too meme on Facebook encourages a sense of victimhood in women, and is part of the way we deny biological reality and cultural anti-rape bulwarks. If you’ve checked out Facebook in the last 24 hours, you’ve probably seen a lot of your female friends post two words: “Me

The past two months have proven that toxic masculinity is the Progressives’ purview, while real American men still get the job done no matter the risk. In the late 1960s, the appropriate term of art for men who hadn’t seen the light was “male chauvinist pig.” Feminists applied this moniker to

Did the Holocaust’s shadow give Progressive Jews such a fear of dying that they cling to a political ideology promising (but not delivering) peaceful death? A theory that popped into my mind yesterday that may help explain the mystery of the Progressive Jew, a person who clings desperately to the

A portmanteau post addressing Antifa, Puerto Rico and Mayor Cruz, and the problem of minorities who try to bend society to their will. The items in this post bear no relationship to each other, unless you want to say that the first demonstrates how to undermine a civilized, pluralist society,

Progressives again show their retreat from reality, this time with a t-shirt claiming MAGA supporters, whose candidate and agenda won, are “losers.” During the 2016 Presidential campaign, Donald Trump had promised “We will have so much winning if I get elected that you may get bored with the winning.” The

Given a vexing, dangerous, and complicated problem like North Korea, Progressives reduce the issue to school-boy sniggering about sexual prowess. One of the things that distinguishes Progressives from Conservatives is that the former are certain that they’re very smart. For example, they point out that wealthy Blue enclaves have a

Just as food allergies create a sickness in the body, the NFL creates a sickness in the soul. Taking both out of your life will make you much happier. I know. I know. It’s one of my stranger analogies, but stick with me on this one. Those who have developed

With 1/5 of the NFL having doubled down on Marxist racism, we are witnessing its bet that, in the culture war, patriotic Americans will take a knee. By interjecting radical black Marxist/progressive politics into the NFL, the progressive left has just accepted — and indeed, doubled down — in a

The Leftists and Donald Trump are using the NFL anthem and flag kerfuffle as a means to their own ends, but it is clarifying and it makes for good posters. The media is using the NFL football kerfuffle is a distraction from more important issues, such as storm damage in

Illustrations about free speech: NFL owners and players are free to disrespect flag and country — and Americans are free to vote with their wallets. If the NFL wants to let its employees use their unique bully pulpit to take a knee when the flag flies and the national anthem

With DACA going before Congress, Marin County public schools are abandoning any pretense of political neutrality and are siding with illegal immigration. Public schools are supposed to be non-partisan. All residents pay taxes towards these schools and the theory is that in return for this money, the schools teach reading,

Showing its anti-Americanism, The New Yorker celebrates the treasonous Bradley Manning as a mover and shaker who was more sinned against than sinning. Mr. Bookworm has a subscription to print version of The New Yorker. Most of the time I ignore this weekly magazine, finding it alternately banal, pompous, and
