3/8/24: The “It’s Biden’s world and, sadly, we just live in it” illustrated edition
I’m baaaack! And I’m back with a carefully curated selection of images all aimed at illustrating the world Biden has brought us.

State of the Union . . . and the 2020 Race
Trump’s State of the Union speech — very good. Pelosi’s toddler-like tantrum at the end — priceless. Last night was not a normal state of the union speech. It was the opening of Trump’s reelection campaign for 2020. On one hand were Trump’s laundry list of accomplishments. On the other

Can we stop using euphemisms that implicitly accept Leftist ideas?
When the Left uses euphemisms, it does not do so to be kind; it does so to set the agenda for immigration, trans activism, and other Leftist policies. I am not a fan of euphemisms. I’ve always struggled a bit reading people’s emotions (I was probably on the Asperger’s scale

Bookworm Beat 1/31/2018 — the SOTU illustrated edition and open thread
After last night’s SOTU, Americans instantly proved their innovation, creativity, intelligence, and can-do spirit by putting out great memes. USA! USA!

Bookworm Beat 1/29/18 — the Jordan Peterson illustrated edition
This post is mostly about Jordan Peterson, explaining his popularity and the great mass of memes in his name. I’ve added some funny posters, too. I’d been aware of Jordan Peterson for some time because the University of Toronto psychology professor took a stand against Canadian law forcing people to put

Bookworm Beat 3/1/17 — the post-SOTU edition and open thread
I’m sitting here in a glorious post-SOTU haze, thinking about the crazy world in which we live and hoping that Trump can find the path to fix it. I’m working on a project that will, I hope, come as a pleasant surprise to many of you. In the meantime, here’s

President Trump’s great speech — by guest blogger John Novick
What’s the sign that President Trump’s great speech trolled the Progressives? The Left fell headlong into vulgarity and rudeness to show their disdain. (That vulgarity earns this post a NSFW warning.) First of all, it was a GREAT speech. Don’t believe me? This is from Trump-Haters CNN: 78% of those

Donald Trump 2017 State of the Union Address Open Thread
So, what do you think? I’m liking it so far. He’s still Donald, but he’s showing focus and gravitas. I love the point about “Rule of Law” at the borders. The Rule of Law is what separates us from Russia and all those banana republics from which the illegal immigrants
Continue readingDo they even listen to themselves? — the Barack Obama edition
During his final (thank you God) State of the Union address, during his discussion about Islam, Obama had something to say about those who dare insult Islam: In a swipe at some Republican presidential candidates, he warned against “voices urging us to fall back into tribes, to scapegoat fellow citizens who
Continue readingThe Bookworm Beat 1/21/15 — “Post-SOTU” edition and Open Thread
I didn’t watch the SOTU. Aside from finding Obama a boring, inelegant speaker, I was helping a client with trial prep. Today, the trial got continued for a few months so, before settling in for a nice 12 hour sleep (I wish!), I can blog — and share with you,
Continue readingWednesday Wrap-Up (and Open Thread)
I didn’t watch Obama’s SOTU. Between cooking and carpooling, I had neither the time nor the inclination. I’ve never been impressed by “Obama the Orator,” and his speech’s details had already been leaked, so the whole thing fell into the “Why Bother?” category. I did hear one interesting thing about
Continue readingBarack Obama: Empty Suit
On the day before Obama gives his annual State of the Union address, this may well be the meanest commercial I’ve ever seen about him (not that I’m complaining): Hat tip: PowerLine

I can’t make myself listen to Obama. He hectors and I don’t need that in my life. I’ll read the speech, and the multiple analyses of the speech, tomorrow. Until then, I’d love to hear what you have to say about it — or what you have to say about
Continue readingNo, you weren’t imagining the strident class warfare in Obama’s SOTU speech.
We tend to find what we’re looking for. Since conservatives know that Obama comes from a socialist background, has advanced policies that are antithetical to capitalism, and has defeated opportunities and initiatives that are supportive of capitalism, we’re going to assume that, in any speech he gives, ordinary statements are
Continue readingFiguring out the subtext in Obama’s SOTU
Clark S. Judge sent to Hugh Hewitt a great note analyzing what Obama really said during the SOTU. I’m going to do something here that I almost never do, which is to reprint the note in its entirety at my own blog, albeit reformatted from the original. Why? Because the
