Bookworm Beat 9/12/25: The Charlie and Iryna meme edition

Posted on September 12, 2025 by Bookworm

I’m pretty broken up over the horrors of the past week, but sometimes the memes tell the story in a way that matters.

Bookworm Beat 9/5/25: The end of Western civ meme edition

Posted on September 5, 2025 by Bookworm

When I tried to discern a common thread in this meme edition, all I could think of was, “Unless the common people push back, we’re witnessing the end of the glories of Western civilization.”

Bookworm Beat 8/29/25: The crime meme edition

Posted on August 29, 2025 by Bookworm

Looking at the images I collected, it struck me that the theme is crime — political crimes, Islamic crimes, transgender crimes, defending against crimes, defending criminals, etc. — plus a bit of other stuff, too.

Bookworm Beat 8/2/25: Real breasts and Russia hoaxes meme edition

Posted on August 2, 2025 by Bookworm

What a strange week. Sidney Sweeney’s real breasts caused leftists to break, MAGAs were right all along about the Russia Hoax, and Hamas is rewarded for mass slaughter. Let the memes begin.

Bookworm Beat 7/10/25: The Epstein and other stuff meme edition

Posted on July 11, 2025 by Bookworm

Obviously, Epstein dominates the meme cycle, but I’ve tried to create balance with all the other memes we conservatives love so much.

Bookworm Beat 6/27/25: the we bomb Iran and NYC bombs itself meme edition

Posted on June 27, 2025 by Bookworm

I’ve been doing meme editions for a long time now, but between Trump’s audacious Iran raid, the Dems supporting Iranian nukes, and NYC’s dive into suicide, I’ve never seen a week quite like this.

Bookworm Beat 6/20/25: the Summer solstice meme edition

Posted on June 20, 2025 by Bookworm

It’s a grab-bag today, with no overriding theme other than the fact that the world is interesting and insane.

Bookworm Beat 6/18/25: A special Israel-Iran War illustrated edition

Posted on June 18, 2025June 18, 2025 by Bookworm

This one doesn’t need an introduction, other than to say Am Israel Chai!

Bookworm Beat 6/6/25: The “Reality TV in DC” meme edition

Posted on June 6, 2025 by Bookworm

This week, D.C. looked like a fusion program of Reality TV and a bad Mexican soap opera. Let us hope for sanity next week. BTW, looking at this, there’s a lot of Israel stuff. It showed up on my feed, so I went with it.

Bookworm Beat 5/16/25: The immigration, Comey, and more meme edition

Posted on May 16, 2025 by Bookworm

I’m still here, but life as an opinion site editor when Donald Trump is president means drinking from a firehose (also known as no free time). Still, lots of news means lots of memes, and I’ve finally got some for you.

Bookworm Beat 4/18/25: The deM-S-13 illustrated edition

Posted on April 18, 2025 by Bookworm

Democrats are demanding that illegal alien gang members be returned to America as revered heroes. It’s so evil, it’s actually hard to joke about this, but memesters are doing their best.

Bookworm Beat 4/11/25: The Triumphant Trump meme edition

Posted on April 11, 2025 by Bookworm

I consider Trump’s tariff play to have been a spectacular triumph and have arranged these memes accordingly.

Bookworm Beat 3/28/25: A meme edition

Posted on March 28, 2025 by Bookworm

After a hiatus, I’m back… It’s not the largest meme selection ever, but every meme is handpicked for quality and freshness.

I’m still here!

Posted on March 24, 2025 by Bookworm

Yes, it’s been three weeks since my last meme edition. I’ve been meaning to post, but two things have prevented me. The first is that the current political scene means that, at American Thinker, where I’m a writer, editor, and manager, every day is like drinking from a firehose. All

Bookworm Beat 3/1/25: All of the good guys are happy meme edition

Posted on March 1, 2025 by Bookworm

The big meme topics are Zelensky, DOGE, and Epstein. Need I say more except that I’ve got the memes?
