Under Obama, there came to be a cancer in the Pentagon

Posted on October 28, 2019March 26, 2021 by Bookworm

Obama purged the Pentagon during his presidency. Recent events give us an insight into the anti-American mindset of those whom he left in place. Do you remember when Obama started purging the upper echelons in the Pentagon, sometimes under cover of law, sometimes under cover of darkness? After the pullout

Trump’s Syria decision perfectly reflects the Trump doctrine

Posted on October 7, 2019 by Bookworm

Regarding Syria, Trump is fulfilling a prediction I made two years ago about the Trump Doctrine, a repudiation of Wilsonian and Obama foreign policies. More than 2 years ago, in April 2017, I wrote a post entitled Trump has a pro-American foreign policy that owes nothing to either Wilson or

No. 22 Bookworm Podcast: Trump’s Syria decision represents the Trump doctrine

Regarding Syria, Trump is fulfilling a prediction I made two years ago about the Trump Doctrine, a repudiation of Wilsonian and Obama foreign policies. Today’s podcast looks at President Trump’s decision to withdraw American troops from Syria. While many people are upset at the president for doing so, especially because

President Trump is the “dayenu” president

Posted on April 20, 2019April 20, 2019 by Bookworm

No matter how imperfect Trump is, looking at his record of accomplishments, as to each one I say the Passover word “dayenu” — it would have been enough. During the Passover dinner, one of the songs Jewish families sing is Dayenu. It is in the nature of a “count your

Bookworm Beat 12/20/18 — the border wall edition

Posted on December 21, 2018December 21, 2018 by Bookworm

I went overboard in this Bookworm Beat, covering the border wall, Syria, Antisemitism, Europe’s fall, science, Michelle and Melania, media bias, and much more. Good walls make good neighbors. Trump did it — he got the House to include $5 billion in the budget bill to build the border wall.

The news from North Korea reminds is that Passover is always relevant

Posted on March 30, 2018March 30, 2018 by Bookworm

Trump’s decision to change the paradigm with North Korea illustrates the precept in my annual Passover post: Tyrannies must be decapitated, not placated. Starting with Bill Clinton, America fawned over North Korea’s tyrannical rulers, sending them money and promising not to hurt them. In those same years, North Korea’s rulers

Middle Eastern Christians: To understand their plight, look to the past

Posted on March 19, 2018March 19, 2018 by Bookworm

Muslims have recently escalated killing Middle Eastern Christians. Robert Spencer explains the deep historic roots behind this new slaughter. One of the family jokes is that, when the kids used to ask me for help with their history homework, no matter the historic subject at issue, I’d always say either “You

A trip through a few days worth of my Facebook posts shows that, with little effort, I can expose Proggies to ideas and facts they usually miss or ignore. Of late, between paying work, family demands, and a touch of the blecchies (not the flu, thank goodness, but I wasn’t

[MUST-SEE VIDEO] Watch Donald Trump “shake it off,” Taylor-Swift style

Posted on January 21, 2018 by Bookworm

Does it get any better, after Donald Trump’s spectacularly successful first year, to watch him “Shake It Off,” Taylor Swift style? I missed last year this cute Auto-Tune video, which gets Trump to sing a verse and chorus from Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off. I don’t know if I would

Trump isn’t a Black Swan; he’s a whole flock of Black Swans

Posted on January 3, 2018January 3, 2018 by Wolf Howling

Following his unexpected victory, Trump is quickly becoming America’s most consequential conservative president, making him a one-man flock of Black Swans. A “Black Swan Event” is one that: Comes as a surprise – i.e., a “high-profile, hard-to-predict, and rare event . . . beyond the realm of normal expectations in

Some thoughts about Stephen Paddock and the Las Vegas massacre UPDATED

Posted on October 2, 2017October 3, 2017 by Bookworm

Since Stephen Paddock killed 59 people and injured 500 more, his motive is still a mystery. Progressives want gun control through. Let’s talk about that. Enough time has passed since news broke that Stephen Paddock committed a massacre at the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas broke that the facts

Trump has a pro-American foreign policy that owes nothing to either Wilson or Obama

Posted on April 13, 2017February 15, 2020 by Bookworm

For 100 years, the Wilson Doctrine defined American foreign policy, whether applied affirmatively or, under Obama, negatively. Trump is changing all that. When the Great War (now known as World War I) erupted in 1914, dragging Europe from the pinnacle of civilization into an abyss of mindless killing, President Woodrow

[VIDEO] When it comes to the media and dead children, some children are more equal than others

Posted on April 12, 2017April 12, 2017 by Bookworm

Two British journalists speak bluntly about the fact that our media is forcing us to care more about the enemy’s dead children than about our own. Paul Joseph Watson, who should have a bigger, better, less conspiracy-oriented venue than Alex Jones’ InfoWars, has published his most recent video, this time

Passover 5778 — In a dangerous world, a more relevant holiday than ever

Posted on April 10, 2017April 10, 2017 by Bookworm

Tonight marks the beginning of Passover 5778. Donald Trump’s targeted attack on Syria indicates that he understands the import of this timeless story. In mid-2009, a few months into Barack Obama’s presidency, Iran had its Green Revolution, when tens of thousands of brave Iranians took to the streets in Tehran
