The GOP poohbahs’ belief that they can save the party by bowing before the ascendant left shows how disconnected they are from voters. One thing that’s become clear in the past week is that the Republican party in Washington, D.C., is completely disconnected from the ordinary Americans that, of necessity,

Republicans fly the American flag because they believe in what it stands for. Democrats reject both the principles and the flag. Although I’ve been in my new house for some time, I finally got around to putting up my American flags today — a big one on the side of

Visions of America: videos from both left and right

There are several fascinating videos out there, so I thought I’d dedicate this post to them, along with a little moralizing of my own. First, Trump handles with incredible grace a question that only a hack pretending to be a reporter would ever ask: These Trump press conferences produce material

Republican weakness is more reason, not less, to vote Republican in November

Posted on September 24, 2018September 24, 2018 by Bookworm

To save the Constitution, you must ignore the barrage of Democrat slanders and the seemingly weak Republican responses, and vote Republican in November. Over the weekend, I saw two arguments trending on Twitter. The first, from the Left, is the argument that the attacks against Kavanaugh must be real, rather

Leftists have abandoned their life force and are embracing suicidal insanity

Posted on September 4, 2018September 6, 2018 by Bookworm

Events of the last few days, both in my own life and in the news, convince me that Leftists have lost both their senses and their will to live. For any sentient organism to live, it needs two things: First, it needs to have the will to live or, phrased
