2023.02.15 Video Podcast: A little of this and a little of that

Posted on February 15, 2023 by Bookworm

I ruminate about Biden’s presidency, leftist antisemitism, the dead in Ukraine, motherhood, and the intersection between conservativism and the NFL.

A thought experiment about the NFL and the black national anthem

Posted on July 8, 2020July 8, 2020 by Bookworm

With the NFL preparing to play the “black national anthem” before The Star-Spangled Banner, it’s time for a thought experiment. The idea for this post is not mine. Instead, it comes from the poster embedded below. I’m just expanding upon it. As you know, starting with the no-talent Colin Kaepernick,

Bookworm Beat 12/5/18 — the American Left’s fascism

Posted on December 5, 2018December 5, 2018 by Bookworm

Taking a hard look at the American Left’s fascism (its silencing speech, antisemitism, and moral depravity), with room for some fun and uplifting news too. The Flynn sentencing memo shows collusion. No, I haven’t gone crazy. Instead, I agree with Joel Pollak, who says the memo highlights that the real

Relaunching “What Business Thinks” — know where your money goes

Posted on August 21, 2018August 21, 2018 by Bookworm

What Business Thinks is a mobile-friendly website that gives consumers an easy way to see whether businesses share their values before spending their money. In a highly politicized era, businesses (and entertainers) no longer believe its enough to market their goods and services. Instead, they now market their values. The

A syllogism explains the race hustlers’ claim that NFL players are slaves

Posted on October 31, 2017October 31, 2017 by Bookworm

The reason well-compensated NFL players feel sorry for themselves is that race hustlers have sold them a line conflating all work with slavery. With the NFL brouhaha about kneeling or standing for the flag and the National Anthem continuing to bubble, the usual race hustlers have chimed in to say

No matter how sad, crazy, or offensive the news is, there will always be clever people making great visual for the illustrated edition post.

Bookworm Beat 9/29/17 — the Attack of the Stupid Leftists edition

Posted on September 28, 2017September 28, 2017 by Bookworm

The underlying thread in most of the following posters is that Stupid Leftists are having way too much of a say in politics and culture.

Bookworm Beat 9/26/17 — the Progressives on Parade edition

Posted on September 26, 2017September 26, 2017 by Bookworm

With Progressives fighting for cultural ascendance, we are entering an ideological Twilight Zone that’s bad for America, but really great for a blogger. Hold onto your hats, my friends, because this is going to be a huge collection of all things interesting, mostly relating to the madness emanating from today’s

Are food allergies an analogy to breaking the NFL habit?

Posted on September 25, 2017September 25, 2017 by Bookworm

Just as food allergies create a sickness in the body, the NFL creates a sickness in the soul. Taking both out of your life will make you much happier. I know. I know. It’s one of my stranger analogies, but stick with me on this one. Those who have developed

The NFL Knee Battle : A Yuge Wager In The Culture War (Edited & Updated With An Op-ed By A Black U.S. Army Officer)

Posted on September 25, 2017September 26, 2017 by Wolf Howling

With 1/5 of the NFL having doubled down on Marxist racism, we are witnessing its bet that, in the culture war, patriotic Americans will take a knee. By interjecting radical black Marxist/progressive politics into the NFL, the progressive left has just accepted — and indeed, doubled down — in a

The Bookworm Beat 9/24/17 — the NFL illustrated edition

Posted on September 24, 2017September 24, 2017 by Bookworm

Illustrations about free speech: NFL owners and players are free to disrespect flag and country — and Americans are free to vote with their wallets. If the NFL wants to let its employees use their unique bully pulpit to take a knee when the flag flies and the national anthem

Bookworm Beat 2/5/17 — the “Super Bowl Sunday” edition

Posted on February 5, 2017 by Bookworm

Full disclosure: I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. I am boycotting the Super Bowl, because I have not forgiven it for how it enthusiastically allowed Kaepernick (whom the 49ers are releasing) to politicize what should have remained non-political. Having said that, I’m glad the Patriots won because, politically speaking, it’s

Posted on September 15, 2016 by Bookworm

Owing to other commitments, I was a laggard when it came to blogging yesterday. Thank goodness for WOW! Magazine, the revamped Watcher’s Council site, which works as an aggregator for posts from all the Watcher’s Council members. If you check that site out once or twice a day, you’ll be
