The Bookworm Beat 11/27/21 — the mish-mash illustrated edition
If there is an organizing theme to this illustrated edition, it’s that the world is in deep doo-doo.

Bookworm Beat 11/20/21 — the Kyle Rittenhouse illustrated edition
I collected Rittenhouse memes for a week and most still seem relevant. Plus, I’ve got the usual “Life in Biden’s Wacky America” memes.

Bookworm Beat 10/28/2021 — Idle thoughts of an idle mind
I address some random things that madden me: the awful Twix commercials, useless vaccines, and the bankrupting of America. Not long ago, I calculated that I’m writing the equivalent of a full-length novel every three weeks, which explains why I go through ergonomic keyboards about every 6-8 months. As I

Bookworm Beat 10/21/21 — the “living in Biden’s America” illustrated edition
I always look for a dominant theme with my illustrated editions. Here, the common thread is that Biden’s in the White House and it’s ugly. And finally, the video Jim Jordan wasn’t allowed to show:

Modern Monetary Theory is taxation without representation
The Biden administration’s use of Modern Monetary Theory to create intentional inflation is a form of extreme taxation without representation. If you ask for the fancy definition, this is what you’ll see when you look up Modern Monetary Theory (MMT): MMT’s main tenets are that a government that issues its

Links from around the ‘net. Ms. BWR is on a weekend away and will return early next week. Meanwhile, while the Bookworm is away, the Wolf will play. (picture H/T Ace of Spades Pet Thread) (More doggie fun here) Anyone getting the impression that perhaps the people teaching our young minds

Another day, another incredible collection of articles I think you’ll like, all of which I’ve tried to present in a way that’s both interesting and brief. Yet another government lie. Is everything we think we know about the cost of living data false? And worse, is the actual cost of

It’s so simple, so very simple, that even a child should get it: (From Capitalism, Facebook home of many clever internet posters.)

A couple of weeks ago, I asked you all to explain to me why the stock market is so excited, even as the dollar is weak, unemployment is high, and national debt soars. Naturally, I got many interesting answers back, with inflation being cited as the chief culprit. Robert Arvanitis,

In an earlier post, I asked several questions about economic issues that confuse me. Robert Arvanitis wrote a comprehensive reply, but then couldn’t get the Word Press comment system to accept it. Because it is so comprehensive and informative, I’m putting it up here as an independent post. All that

Paul Krugman is a Nobel Prize winning economist. He’s also remarkably ignorant (or stupid or, maybe, both). Only someone lacking in brains and understanding would think that the U.S. could get out of its debt problem, not by printing paper money, but by minting a platinum coin and then denominating

Another American Crossroads ad in a James Bond style, this one attacking Obama’s inflationary policies: It’s clever, funny, and understandable, so please consider sharing it with others. The election clock is ticking, and it’s up to citizens to counter the media’s all-out push for Obama.
