I think the title of this illustrated edition says it all–in nine months, Biden has turned America into a truly miserable place. And a public service announcement:

Ms. Book W. Room, writing under the nom de guerre of Andrea Widburg, is employed by the conservative site, American Thinker, to edit submissions to the site and to write several daily posts of her own. Below are her posts on this date. Since commentary to the posts is restricted

Where government gets its money

Posted on June 5, 2020 by Bookworm

Talking with a young person about how the government gets its money saw me making an analogy to my mother crying decades ago over an empty bank account. When I was a little girl, we weren’t living in poverty, but we were hanging onto my mother’s cherished middle-class lifestyle by

Trump finally talks to America in a Rush Limbaugh interview

Posted on January 7, 2020 by Bookworm

To know what Trump is thinking, spend 20 minutes listening to Trump talking to Rush Limbaugh — or read key excerpts from the interview here. Trump likes to tweet, but the problem with his tweets is that they don’t create a sustained narrative. The tweets are appetizers, not the main

The government isn’t just broke; it has no money — guest blogger Gary Marshall

Posted on January 6, 2020January 6, 2020 by Bookworm

A guest blogger uses a useful analogy to show that our government has no money at all; it forcibly takes, holds, and spends our money. I received an interesting email from someone who would like to change entirely the way we organize government finances. I suspect, although I’m not sure,

In 2016, I wrote several posts for my I Don’t Like Bernie blog. With Bernie rising in the polls, this post revisits his terrible tax proposals. The website I Like Bernie, But…, created in 2016 and updated for 2019, tries to calm people’s fears about Bernie Sander’s socialist extremism. It states

Democrats’ Perfectly Clear Formulaic Non-Answer

Posted on September 13, 2019September 13, 2019 by Wolf Howling

When you hear a Democrat presidential candidate say “Let me make this perfectly clear” . . . you are about to hear a lie at worst, a non-answer at best. Elizabeth Warren in particular, but several of the proggies on stage last night, all exhibited the same verbal tic. When

Elizabeth Warren advances a tax plan both dangerous and unconstitutional

Posted on January 25, 2019 by Bookworm

Elizabeth Warren, famed fake Indian and true Leftist wacko, is advancing a tax plan that would effectively rape the U.S. economy. I’m neither a numbers nor a tax person, but Patrick Ruffini is. I’ll let his tweet thread (which I’ve converted to text for ease of reading) speak for itself:

Posted on December 23, 2017December 23, 2017 by Bookworm

The tax bill is the gift that keeps giving, not least because it exposes the Democrats as the greedy party that thinks all America’s money is theirs.

I learn from financial professionals why the tax bill is really, really bad

Posted on December 18, 2017December 18, 2017 by Bookworm

In a blue county, financial professionals unwittingly reveal that the tax bill is “bad” because California loses its free ride on the back of poorer states. I was at a party during which I ended up speaking to a CPA and a personal financial adviser. They both assured me that
