Posted on October 28, 2021October 28, 2021 by Wolf Howling

The Left is creating an America in which, whatever their actions, if they are sufficiently high in the progressive pantheon, they will escape responsibility, no matter how facially guilty of violating a law.  The latest test case for this will be the criminal liability of progressive icon Alec Baldwin for

Bookworm Beat 10/28/2021 — Idle thoughts of an idle mind

Posted on October 28, 2021 by Bookworm

I address some random things that madden me: the awful Twix commercials, useless vaccines, and the bankrupting of America. Not long ago, I calculated that I’m writing the equivalent of a full-length novel every three weeks, which explains why I go through ergonomic keyboards about every 6-8 months. As I

Critical Race Theory whitewashes Black history

Posted on October 26, 2021 by Bookworm

A web page with information about Black women in the Civil Rights Movement shows how Critical Race Theory whitewashes Black history. There’s a distinct trend in the re-telling of American history. Once, Americans celebrated their history as a march of destiny (a manifest destiny, as I recall), peopled by wise

Posted on October 25, 2021 by Wolf Howling

While the U.S. Park Service grossly overstresses slavery in their presentation of our national history at Fort Sumter, S.C., Thomas Sowell issues a dire warning about the progressive effort to balkanize America and rule over the ruins. Several weeks ago, I wrote a long post about the 1619 Project and

A “Let’s Go Brandon” song for people who like rock, not hip-hop

Posted on October 21, 2021 by Bookworm

It’s great that “Let’s Go Brandon” has legs because it speaks volumes about the man in the White House. It sounds good put to music too. It was delightful when Loza Alexander topped the iTunes chart with his hip-hop version of “Let’s Go Brandon.” How often do conservative memes go
