Posted on July 31, 2026 by Bookworm

Bookworm Beat 6/26/26: The “political time warp edition” edition

Posted on June 26, 2026 by Bookworm

I feel I’m in a time warp because the subject matter is always the same: Crazy leftists, scary Islamists, and suicidal Europeans. Still, each of these pictures is its own 1,000-word essay, so please enjoy them.

Bookworm Beat 5/22/26: It’s another wacky week in America meme edition

Posted on May 22, 2026 by Bookworm

There really isn’t a strong theme here, except the mad, mad, mad (but maybe getting sane) world in which we live. I’ll be traveling for three weeks, so there will not be any meme editions until June 27. If you want to make sure you catch the next meme edition,

Bookworm Beat 5/15/26: The naughty things Dems do meme edition

Posted on May 15, 2026 by Bookworm

Memes to make you laugh, memes to make you think, and memes to make you wish Democrats would regain their sanity and Islam would go away.

Bookworm Beat 3/13/26: The cardboard Supreme Leader meme edition

Posted on March 13, 2026 by Bookworm

It seems that the wonderful cardboard Supreme Leader video was a hoax, but what a hoax it was, birthing some marvelous memes. But I’ve got other good stuff, too, with Iran and Islam as the main topics!

Bookworm Beat 3/5/26: The Iran War meme edition

Posted on March 6, 2026March 6, 2026 by Bookworm

Interestingly, half the Iran War posts aren’t about the war at all — they’re about the Democrats cheering for America to lose a war. Plus, lots of other stuff. JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸🔥 pic.twitter.com/0502N6a3rL — The White House (@WhiteHouse) March 6, 2026

Bookworm Beat 2/27/26: The SOTU meme edition

Bookworm Beat 1/30/26: The Minneapolis madness meme edition

Posted on January 30, 2026 by Bookworm

If there’s one thing Trump’s policies do, it’s bring clarity to American politics: And the clarity is that Democrats are now hard-core Marxist soldiers, with Minneapolis as Ground Zero. (Plus a little Don Lemon, but it’s too early for the memes to have exploded yet.)

Bookworm Beat 1/23/26: Good memes, lots of good memes

Posted on January 23, 2026 by Bookworm

Is there a theme here? Yeah, I guess it’s that leftism is bad, no matter how or where it manifests itself. So, as Trump said, fight, fight, fight!

Posted on January 16, 2026January 16, 2026 by Bookworm

Democrats are rampaging again, especially in Minnesota, while ignoring the horrors of Iran, and the memes are flowing freely. Plus, memes for all the other headline stories, whether foreign or domestic.
