As Bookworm Beat echoing Podcast 30, that covers emotional women, student loans, rapacious nature, Whistleblowers, NeverTrumpers, and Trump. Before I begin, a heads up: I’ll be traveling this weekend to visit the Revolutionary War Field Day in Camden, South Carolina, so blogging will be light, if not nonexistent. I’m sure,

It’s unquestioned that IQ scores are dropping in the West, but I think there’s more to it than screen time. Educational trends and culture matter too. The West is losing IQ points. Daniel Hannan points to a disturbing reality in the modern world – we’re getting more stupid. Western IQ

When I see people in the grips of Trump Derangement Syndrome, I wonder if their brain function vanished before or after the syndrome set in. I’m being completely serious with the question I posed in my post title — Were people with Trump Derangement Syndrome always intellectually deficient? Was it

I want to share with you a visit I took to a remarkable school that, through respect and high expectations, raises children up from broken public schools. Regular readers know that I am not a fan of public schools. I’m a product of public schools as are my children. All

Can you smell something a bit Apocalyptic in the air? Things are getting fraught as the Left pushes the social and political system closer to the edge. Our we at end times? I’ve got a few well-written, fact-laden posts to share with you here, all of which are quite worried
