Public school leftist indoctrination never stops
A random worksheet in an 8th-grade public school classroom highlights the non-stop leftist indoctrination our children receive in school. A friend of mine found himself in a public school 8th-grade classroom. The students had been doing a project that called upon them to identify what constitutes a hero. To help

One day’s news from the SF Bay Area — how leftist can you get?
A glance at a the home page for Marin County’s main newspaper provides a snapshot into the leftist brain. Although I no longer live in Marin County, I still check the local news. It’s not unusual for me to see familiar people named in stories and I always recognize the

Why you must help South Carolina’s Sen. Lindsey Graham
Democrats are pouring their money into defeating Lindsey Graham. Please donate to him if you can and, if you’re in S.C., vote for Graham. To be honest, before 2018, I never thought much of South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham. He was just another middle-of-the-road Republican with too many RINO tendencies and

The Wuhan virus has accelerated existing trends
The Wuhan virus has sped up existing processes, such as hastening inevitable deaths, changing the business world, and exposing the left. You’ve probably read that 94% of Wuhan virus deaths happened to people who already had compromised health, whether from extreme age or diseases that were already putting stress on

Minneapolis riots — Another leftist city reaps what it sowed *UPDATED*
The riots in Minneapolis were inevitable for Leftist policies against racism and income inequality lead to racism, income inequality, and police brutality. Tom Wolfe famously said, “The dark night of fascism is always descending in the United States and yet lands only in Europe.” Aside from being as true now

Coronavirus: Always look on the bright side of life *UPDATED*
Don’t get dragged down by all the coronavirus drama. Things in America aren’t, and won’t be, that bad, and things in the world may end up much better. Dear Ms. Bookworm: My husband is going around saying that “we’re all going to die.” It’s very depressing being in the house

No. 12 Bookworm Podcast: Slavery was a blessing for today’s African Americans

Trump threatens the very scary Leftist God complex
Trump is the avatar of an American reformation, for he is destroying the dangerous Leftist edifice that has turned our constitutional government into a god. A few quotations to begin. The first is from Charles Lipson, writing about Mueller’s sinking reputation (and I guarantee that my ellipses are honest): Republicans

A power outage in Venezuela and Leftist denial
The collapse in Venezuela, rather than bringing enlightenment to America’s Leftists, instead sees them double-down on their delusions about socialism. This post is what Instapundit refers to as a “shot” and “chaser” scenario. Here’s the shot (hyperlinks omitted): In Venezuela, there’s a new front — the equivalent of an EMP

Anti-Semitism in the Democrat party: how we got here *UPDATED*
Anti-Semitism in the Democrat party represents a pragmatic confluence of socialism, African-American anti-Semitism, and Islamic anti-Semitism. My sister, who is fairly apolitical, asked me why the Democrat Party is becoming openly anti-Semitic. I’ll give you the same primer I gave her: Antisemitism is baked into the socialist cake because (a)

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

The Left’s cruelty — an ideology without room for repentance
Leftism is just another faith, but it’s more cruel than the Judeo-Christian tradition as its creed does not recognize remorse, repentance, and redemption. This is a rather discursive post, but there are a lot of ideas and facts I want to tie together to explain why I argue that Leftism
