Bookworm Beat 2/27/26: The SOTU meme edition

Posted on February 27, 2026 by Bookworm

It’s not just about the State of the Union, of course. There’s some Gavin in here, a little ice hockey, a bit of Mamdani, a few beloved dogs, and more.

Honoring pushback against the Democrats’ hate-filled cancel culture

Posted on July 8, 2020 by Bookworm

We’re finally starting to see signs of pushback against the Marxist aggression that’s dominated America in 2020. This post honors those efforts. I had an Irish friend who refused to believe that America would ever go full leftist. “It’s just not in the American character not to push back.” I’m

Dalia al-Aqidi: Patriotic Minneapolis Muslims have a candidate

Posted on January 17, 2020 by Bookworm

This is a knock-your-socks-off campaign video from Dalia al-Aqidi, an Iraqi Muslim woman who is fighting to win Ilhan Omar’s House seat. Because my parents lived in the Middle East, we had lots of Arab friends, both Muslim and Christian, when I was a child. Whatever their views were about

No. 34 Bookworm Podcast (and Video): Happy Thanksgiving

Posted on November 27, 2019 by Bookworm

This Thanksgiving, I am so grateful for the blessings in my life, including friends and family, being an American citizen, and having Trump as my president. My latest podcast is up and running. You can listen to it through the audio embed below, or at LibSyn, or through Apple Podcasts. I’ve also

Happy Thanksgiving — there is so much for which I am thankful

Posted on November 27, 2019November 27, 2019 by Bookworm

This Thanksgiving, I am so grateful for the blessings in my life, including friends and family, being an American citizen, and having Trump as my president. (This is a companion post to my 34th podcast [and second rather primitive YouTube video], both of which you can find here.) Years ago,

Woke teachers and ethnic studies are toxic

Posted on November 5, 2019November 5, 2019 by Bookworm

So-called “woke” teachers — aka socialists — in their ethnic studies classes use a strong foundation of complete ignorance to teach kids to hate America. (This post develops one of the topics I discussed in my No. 31 Bookworm Podcast.) Writing at Minding the Campus, George Leef has an article

No. 10 Bookworm Podcast — Tlaib, Omar, Israel, and the Times takes on slavery

Posted on August 18, 2019August 18, 2019 by Bookworm

The advent of the internet means that ordinary people like me can loudly criticize Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and the Times‘ ridiculous 1619 project. (If you prefer listening to reading, the companion podcast is embedded below, or you can listen to it at Libsyn or at Apple podcasts. I’m trying

Bookworm Beat 5/7/19 — the Vanishing Conservatives on Social Media edition

Posted on May 7, 2019May 12, 2019 by Bookworm

There are reasons for you to be very afraid of the social media crackdown on conservatives (even fringe ones), plus other scary stuff in today’s world. Democrats prepare for 2020 by silencing conservatives. If I had to identify the scariest news today, it would be Twitter’s purge of conservatives, which

Bookworm Beat 4/10/19 — the flyover country edition

Posted on April 10, 2019April 11, 2019 by Bookworm

This discursive Bookworm Beat wanders from American black culture, to evil Leftists, to the wonders of Wal-Mart versus the horrors of socialized medicine. Everything Leftists hate about America. I’ve been spending some time of late in small town America — in Eastern Tennessee to be specific. Frankly, I can see why

Are there any normal Democrat primary candidates?

Posted on March 26, 2019March 27, 2019 by Bookworm

Watching the Democrat primary candidates emerge on the debate stage will be like watching a clown car disgorge its contents. Currently, they’re a joke. I’ve been looking at the roster of current candidates for the Democrat primary and I have to ask — are any of them normal? Please understand

Anti-Semitism Ilhan Omar David Duke Democrats

Bookworm Beat 3/8/2019 — the Democrat Party goes full anti-Semitism

Posted on March 8, 2019 by Bookworm

An illustrated edition focusing on the Dems’ weirdly ecumenical transition from anti-Black (slavery, Jim Crow, ghettoization) to untrammeled anti-Semitism. (Plus other examples of the myriad threats socialists pose to America, and the way Trump is a bulwark against those threats.) Before getting to the posters, a short video I urge

Leftism, Islam, anti-Semitism, and the Jews

Posted on March 7, 2019April 5, 2019 by Bookworm

Democrats and Muslims have come together with anti-Semitism because it is their ideological destiny — and Leftist Jews are too indoctrinated to see it. One of the fascinating things about the world in which we live is the alliance between Leftists and Muslims. At first glance, it seems as if

#DearFellowJews: a hashtag to help a #Jexodus (or #Jexit)

Posted on March 6, 2019March 6, 2019 by Bookworm

Jexodus (or Jexit) asks Jews to leave an increasingly anti-Semitic Democrat Party, something I’m trying to facilitate with tweets to my #DearFellowJews. If you’ve been paying attention to the news of late, you can’t have missed stories about anti-Semitism. For example, for many years now, France has periodically been roiled

Rashida Tlaib, unpleasant as she is, deserves to be taken seriously

Posted on January 5, 2019January 5, 2019 by Bookworm

Foul-mouthed, antisemitic Rashida Tlaib is the avatar of an incoming class of Leftist congresswomen that needs to be taken seriously in the realm of ideas. Rashida Tlaib, the Palestinian-identifying woman who got herself elected to the American House of Representatives, gained instant notoriety when she excitedly announced that her single

“Heil Hitler! Heil Trump!” — one story reveals the American divide

Posted on November 16, 2018November 16, 2018 by Bookworm

When I read that a man screamed “Heil Hitler” and “Heil Trump,” I knew he was a Proggie, but a Proggie I know still insists the man was a Trump supporter. Yesterday, the media was filled with stories about an outburst at a Baltimore theater. The Baltimore Sun first reported
