The White House takes up the fraught issue of whether it’s Yanny or Laurel. Watch to the end, because the ending made me laugh — and you might too. #Laurel? #Yanny? Or… pic.twitter.com/5hth07SdGY — The White House (@WhiteHouse) May 17, 2018 *****

It’s an old-fashioned Bookworm Beat with news from all over, much of it heartening, because we’re living in Trump’s America. I’m enjoying living in Trump’s America. Good things are happening — and, with Wolf Howling’s help, I’ve got a collection of good things, interesting things, important things, silly things, and

Like it or not, we are living through cataclysmic change. These three videos highlight that — and I’ve added a few thoughts about slavery of body and mind. Three videos will make you think about the seas changes happening before us. The first sees Thomas Sowell talk briefly about the

What happens when Kanye West, an incredibly famous black man, announces that blacks are allowed to like Trump? The Leftist political paradigm cracks. I am a hopelessly un-hip, white, middle-aged woman. Up until the last few days, I’ve known three things about Kanye West: He’s a black rap or hip-hop

In America, two past events and one past trend are leading us inexorably — absent a black swan event — to one of two very grim American futures. I got to thinking about where we are now, right now, with the Deep State on the verge of a successful coup

I refuse to listen to the hypocritical New York Times when it suddenly discovers the rule of law and starts to care about a president’s associates. A Progressive friend was tremendously excited about an editorial in the New York Times. In it, the editorial board exulted about the fact that

The FBI gave Hillary a free pass for national security violations; now it conducted an outrageous raid against Trump’s attorney right before the IG report. This morning, the DOJ, based on allegations passed on by Bob Mueller, executed a warrant on Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen, sweeping up a host of

We have a few fixed data points about today’s raid on Trump’s attorney, Michael Cohen, but not much else. I’m interested in your thoughts on the matter. Here’s what we know: Robert Mueller is supposed to be probing whether Trump colluded with the Russians in the lead-up to the November

Charlotte Brontë would have forgiven Trump his Stormy Daniels’ sins, because she separated an individual’s personal sins from the way they treated others. In the wake of the Anderson Cooper/60 Minutes‘ interview with Stormy Daniels, there’s been something of a war raging (albeit politely) between Dennis Prager and Jonah Goldberg. The

Trump’s decision to change the paradigm with North Korea illustrates the precept in my annual Passover post: Tyrannies must be decapitated, not placated. Starting with Bill Clinton, America fawned over North Korea’s tyrannical rulers, sending them money and promising not to hurt them. In those same years, North Korea’s rulers

Mary Theroux, of the Independent Institute, offers a creative and thought-provoking solution to America’s intrusive and liberty-destroying security network. Back in 1971, when I was ten, our whole family was glued to the TV every Sunday night, watching Masterpiece Theatre’s Six Wives of Henry VIII. It was that series that

The economic news out on Friday provides a ready-made slogan for Republicans going into the 2018 midterm campaign this Fall. Trump, keeping yet another one of his campaign promises, has given us an “unexpected” booming economy (except that those of us who believe in low regulation, low taxes, and high optimism were

My Twitter feed has been fascinating today, which is a good thing because calls from old and dear friends precluded blogging. Here’s the best of my Twitter. When my mother died, I inherited both her and my Dad’s old friends (and I do mean “old”; one of them is now
