It’s too soon for many memes about the peace deal, so you’ll get one peace deal meme and lots of memes about the Democrats’ decline and despair.

Bookworm Beat 10/3/25: The Sombrero meme edition
The government shutdown dominates this meme edition, although you’ll find lots more that’s fun, some that’s wise, and, when it comes to Israel and Islam, food for thought for the rest of the West.

Dishonesty about the shutdown using commission and omission
With the shutdown, the media and the Deep State launch a subtle attack against Donald Trump by sneakily exonerating the Senate from responsibility. Okay, I admit it. Saying James Comey is dishonest is pretty much like saying “dog bites man.” It’s no longer news. It’s simply the way the world

You can see the video at the Black Sphere. I highly recommend that you listen to it. He’s on fire, but manages to stay logical, factual, and focused. (I chose to link to the Black Sphere, rather than to load the video here, because that’s a site I like a
Continue readingIn the long term, what will the shutdown theater’s effect be on the political scene?
The shutdown is over — the Republicans caved because no one was willing to face the risk that Obama would jettison the Constitution and allow the United States government to default. I think it’s a bit more nuanced then a total collapse, though, and I think it may still effect

George Will has made a very important point here about Democrat hubris. Sen. Susan Collins, as mushy a Republican as one could ever find, made a proposal that gives Democrats everything they want, including relieving them from the political embarrassment of the “medical device tax,” which even they dislike. Flush

AJ Strata looked at Obama’s approach to American land — i.e., “This land belongs to me, not you” — and decided to revamp Woody Guthrie’s famous “This land is your land” a bit. I think he did a great job. More than that, though, he exposed a beautiful irony. Woodie

I am one of Chris Muir’s legions of admirers. This graphic helps explain why: Other versions are floating around too:

An anonymous Obama administration insider explained why the President and the Senate are refusing to compromise, even to the point of refusing to accept piecemeal funding for expenditures everyone supports: Said a senior administration official: “We are winning…It doesn’t really matter to us” how long the shutdown lasts “because what
Continue readingPetty Obama administration tries to bar Honor Flight veterans from access to the WWII Memorial in D.C.
The Obama government is small, spiteful, and petty. There are no other words for it. Case in point: The WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C., which is an outdoor memorial. There are no tickets sold, no doors to open or close, and no staffers. It is not an open air museum.

My very strong sense is that the shutdown will reveal how much of our federal government is inessential. I’m not the only one who feels this way. And no wonder, because the shutdown reveals waste everywhere. This shouldn’t be a surprise. Monopolies are invariably poorly managed and unchecked bureaucracies invariably
