Dunkirk review in Marie Claire: Fatally flawed gender identity assumptions
My friend Lulu weighs in on the fact that the Marie Claire review of the Dunkirk movie suffers from fatal hetero-normative gender identity assumptions. I must take issue with Mehera Bonner of Marie Claire and her review of the World War II film Dunkirk in which she states, . .

On race and gender, Democrats have always embraced the Big Lie
For 150 years, Democrats used the Big Lie about race to justify slavery and Jim Crow, and now they’re using the Big Lie technique to challenge gender norms. I want to share a thought with you that starts with slavery and ends with transsexuals. To get from one to the

The Bookworm Beat 4/24/17 — “watching as the Left continues circling the drain” edition
This Bookworm Beat has all shades of Progressive insanity (fake data, attacks on free speech, Chelseamania), complete with links and my trenchant comments. Keep circling that drain. Before I get into the meat of this post detailing the worst emanations from the Democrats and their fellow travelers on their Left,

Bookworm Beat 4/18/17 — a potpourri of interesting, random stuff
Here’s a down-and-dirty Bookworm Beat that’s still replete with things to entertain and inform. I’d meant to blog more today, as well as to clean my office, but I had a sick dog and that took both my time and my attention. All is well with the dog — it’s

Teen Vogue adds anti-Israel advocacy to its arsenal of hard-Left positions (+ bonus content)
Teen Vogue turns against Israel with a gauzy, one-sided view of Palestinians. This sewage-like flow of Leftist ideology traces back to American academia. For those naive enough to think that Teen Vogue is a fashion magazine, please disabuse yourself of that notion as quickly as possible. It is, in fact,

The Bookworm Beat 3/8/17 — Keeping Up With The Culture Wars
To stay ahead of the Left’s gnawing away at every underpinning of Western civilization, we need to stay updated about the culture wars. This post helps. Modern wars are never fought on one front. They are fought on all fronts. Obama’s minions in government are trying to bring President Trump

Only by denying science can Progressives push the transgender revolution
Progressives pretend that their transgender politics are based on science but they’re not; it’s fantasy all the way, which is a disservice to children. The other day, NPR had a fascinating article. Because it is fascinating, allow me to quote some of the more interesting points: Why Caitlyn Jenner can never be

Mack Beggs, transgender wrestler, should not eat her cake and have it
Mack Beggs, the transgender wrestler, should not wrestle as either a boy or a girl. She made a choice, so she, not society, should accept the consequences. Mack Beggs is a 17-year-old genetic female with a serious body dysmorphia problem that has never been addressed: She believes that she was

Progressive poster accuses Republicans of practicing sharia law
The Left cuddles up to antisemitic Muslims like Linda Sarsour, but absolves itself of sin by accusing Republicans of practicing sharia law. When you and I think of sharia law, we probably think of women lacking any legal rights, including the right to leave their homes without a male escort

Bookworm Beat 2/20/17 — fighting the self-annointed fourth branch of government
The new phrase is “fourth branch of government,” referring to the Progressive bureaucracy fighting exile. It’s time to fight back. The administrative state is not the fourth branch of government. When I said “interesting times,” I meant it. We all knew that our government had gotten too big and we voted for

What my Progressive Facebook friends are reading and saying
My Progressive Facebook friends’ feeds remind me that there are two Americas: mine, which is reality-based and conservative, versus theirs, which is delusional, paranoid, angry, and threatening. I thought I’d give you a look-see at what I routinely find on my real-me Facebook feed. Here’s the detritus I picked up

In honor of President Trump, I have a yuuuge collection of splendid posters. I know you’ll enjoy them:

Progressive v. Conservative ideologies, not the candidates, are the real drivers in this election *UPDATED*
A Progressive friend is relentlessly pushing “Trump is awful” stories on me. I, a conservative, invariably counter by pointing out that Hillary’s list of sins and failures is infinitely worse. I realized yesterday that my arguments are irrelevant. My friend will never vote for someone who is not 100% pro-abortion,

The Bookworm Beat 9/6/16 — the “cough, cough, cough” edition and open thread
Hillary’s cough has sounded awfully familiar to me — and today I finally figured out what Hillary’s endless coughing jags bring to mind. To back up a minute, though. . . . As anyone following the news knows, Hillary’s been coughing a lot . . . an awful lot. Just
