Continue readingIt’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
Continue readingThis Bookworm Beat has a hodge-podge of posters but the dominant theme seems to be that a big government that becomes a bad government is scary.
Continue readingAccording to retired Harvard Law Professor, Alan Dershowitz, the DOJ’s early morning raid, approved by Rod Rosenstein among others, to execute a no-knock warrant on Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen violates the 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments. This from the Daily Mail: Among the scooped-up papers, and lurking on phones

Now Trump can do some firing. https://t.co/ClXRfxhIkF — Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) April 9, 2018 [If the above video won’t play, you can find the content
Continue readingWe 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
Continue readingJohn Pavlovitz is a hugely popular Progressive preacher. He also exemplifies everything that’s wrong with how Progressives approach Trump’s presidency. Have you ever heard of John Pavlovitz? Right. I hadn’t heard of him either. Still, thanks to the wonders of the internet, you can quickly learn about him. According to
Continue readingAvailable facts indicate that the Progressives’ Russia Collusion narrative is fake — and time is running out to investigate the true Clinton/FBI collusion. With questions swirling around the Trump-Russian collusion narrative, we seem to be living in a John le Carré novel. It is one full of spies where the
Continue readingThe real Russia collusion — Obama and Clinton team with Russia against Trump — makes sense if you look at the motives driving the various actors. Da Vinci once said that “Every action needs to be prompted by a motive.” Motive is certainly a helpful tool when it comes to bringing

There’s an interesting unofficial experiment taking place at Little Bookworm’s high school: Rather than sitting through a semester of Government (five days a week
Continue readingThe Memo shows the FBI and DOJ lying to spy on an opposition presidential candidate and it undermines the entire rationale for the Mueller investigation. The House Intel Memo (the “memo”) is out. It contains some bombshells: One, several of the top people at the FBI and the DOJ, using
Continue readingThe memo seems to have few surprises although it confirms what Trump alleged last year and we all suspected: The Deep State cheated to try to destroy Trump. It seems that, as Byron York summarizes, the memo confirms what all of us long suspected. The House Intelligence Committee has released
Continue readingNew facts show that the so-called Russia conspiracy was in fact a product of savvy Russians and credulous, willing, and very dishonest Democrat operatives. This Trump-Russia collusion narrative is looking more and more like an incredibly intelligent mix of publicly available facts wrapped around some damning pieces of knowing slanders
Continue readingA year after the collusion story against Trump took hold, we know it’s fake and it’s boomeranging with potentially serious consequences against Democrats. [Wolf Howling wrote this post, despite its being published under my name.] The year 2017 started with the Proggies pushing the “Trump colluded with Russia” narrative to
