Once again, the Simpsons got there first
In a remarkable moment of prescience, The Simpsons predicted one of April’s major news stories. I stopped watching The Simpsons at least a decade ago. It just wasn’t funny anymore and the leftwing policies were beginning to grate. My Little Bookworm (although now she’s taller than I am, out of

Disney’s corporate madness reflects a huge class divide in America
Seeming disparate threads, including the madness at Disney, when bound together, reveal that America is experiencing a most peculiar class struggle. (This post looks long but it isn’t as long as it looks because it has a lot of Twitter material that uses up a great deal of vertical space.)

Is there someone already waiting in the wings for Biden’s job?
At American Thinker, I suggested that we’re overlooking the obvious candidate to take over for Biden after he’s ousted under the 25th Amendment. Barack Obama was at the White House yesterday, making it clear, as did others at the reception held in Obama’s honor, that Biden’s presidency is over. Watching

Bookworm Beat 4/8/22 — the “is Disney grooming kids” and gender madness illustrated edition
Once again, the issue of what our institutions are doing to America’s children was the top item, but there’s a lot more to see here, too. It’s okay to laugh because it seems that the dachshund was okay: FacebookTweet

Bookworm Beat 4/2/22 — the “gender madness” illustrated edition
If I had to pick the main topic for the week, it was the left’s gender madness, which may (thankfully) be a bridge too far for America. FacebookTweet

The illustrated edition will be a day late
I’m still here and I have plans…just not plans for tonight. I just returned from a much-needed four-day break during which I listened to wonderful music (see the video below), saw dear friends, and enjoyed a lovely day with family. I feel refreshed but have a lot of catching up

Another website update; or “under attack”
The good news is that I’m over the target. The bad news is that I’m taking flak and it’s slowing down and even stopping the site. When it comes to my blog problems, I seem to be closing in on the culprits or, at least, figuring out better how to

The American boat is slowly sinking
This is a guest post by Nodrog: Ketanji /kɛtənd͡ʒi/ (noun) informal – “the only person left after the cream has left the barrel“ If I were innocent but wanted for “questioning” in America, I would see that the Supreme Court is becoming peopled with those who are not at the level of

Slowly restoring the website
I finally had a chat with a tech who knew what was wrong with my website and told me how to fix it. Yesterday, I completely disabled all plugins (including Disqus comments) as well as taking away my lovely theme. The website started working again as it should. Over the

Annie(drea) Oakley & The Springfield .45
I bought a new gun a few days ago, a Springfield Armory XD Tactical 5″ ,45 ACP. It is the same size as — but an improvement upon — the iconic U.S. Military M1911 that I used to fire in the service and that served as the U.S. Army sidearm

Prepare for more weirdness with the site
I’m still having problems getting my site to run, whether back-end stuff that makes it impossible for me to post or front-end stuff that makes it impossible for you to read anything. I’ve once again disabled all plugins, which may help. If that doesn’t work, then the problem is with

Bookworm Beat 3/22/22 — the “we’re clearly living in a computer simulation” issue
Actually, I don’t know whether we’re living in a computer simulation. I just know that, looking at these memes, it’s a very real possibility. FacebookTweet

Bookworm Beat 3/15/22 — a few thoughts spinning through my mind
This is not an illustrated Bookworm Beat; it is, instead, a place for a few thoughts I can’t shake. See what you think of them. In no particular order, these thoughts will not leave my head so now I’m sharing them with you. Stopping concealed carry. I live in a
