Bookworm Beat 5/24/19 — illustrated edition and open thread

Posted on May 24, 2019May 24, 2019 by Bookworm

When paid work rains down upon me, I celebrate, put my head down, and go to work — but still have time to share a great illustrated edition with you.

Impeachment Trump dealing with Nancy Pelosi Democrats

The Dems’ impeachment demands are Heaven-sent manna for Trump

Posted on May 23, 2019May 24, 2019 by Bookworm

Trump’s impeachment battle with Pelosi — he wants it; she doesn’t — and his negotiations with Iran and China, highlight his strategic and tactical genius. Of late, Trump has put me in mind of two very funny videos. But before I get to the videos, let me explain what I

A few thoughts about the trade war with China UPDATED

Posted on May 14, 2019May 15, 2019 by Bookworm

China has been slowly sucking America dry through unfair trade. Trump is right to demand that it treat us fairly and I think he’ll win this trade war. When I graduated from high school, a family friend, recently widowed, sold me her deceased husband’s eight-year-old car for a price I

Bookworm Beat 05/09/19 — the Russia collusion never ends illustrated edition

Posted on May 9, 2019May 9, 2019 by Bookworm

Russia collusion is still roiling the Left, to the great amusement of sane Americans. Indeed, thanks to Leftists, there’s a lot of silly stuff to laugh at.

Bookworm Beat 5/7/19 — the Vanishing Conservatives on Social Media edition

Posted on May 7, 2019May 12, 2019 by Bookworm

There are reasons for you to be very afraid of the social media crackdown on conservatives (even fringe ones), plus other scary stuff in today’s world. Democrats prepare for 2020 by silencing conservatives. If I had to identify the scariest news today, it would be Twitter’s purge of conservatives, which

Obstruction Collusion Brennan Comey Obama Clapper

The collusion and obstruction investigation indicts others, not Trump

Posted on May 6, 2019May 6, 2019 by Wolf Howling

Officially, Mueller investigated Trump’s alleged collusion and obstruction. We now know that there was collusion and obstruction — but not by Trump. The investigation into Trump’s campaign began with the ludicrous hearsay (in some cases, multiple levels of hearsay) allegations compiled by Michael Steele, paid for by the DNC, provided

Bookworm Beat 5/5/19 — Venezuela is socialism illustrated edition

Posted on May 5, 2019May 5, 2019 by Bookworm

In Venezuela, maybe today being Cinco de Mayo will magically strengthen citizens in their fight against tyranny. Meanwhile, in the U.S. we’ll keep our guns.

Bookworm Beat 4/30/19 — the New York Times Antisemitism illustrated edition

Posted on April 30, 2019 by Bookworm

As the posters in my illustrated edition show, when it comes to New York Times antisemitism, it’s 1933 all over again (plus many other interesting posters).

Trump is no better or worse than other recent presidents

Posted on April 29, 2019April 29, 2019 by Bookworm

Hand-wringing about Trump’s personality and private life — when compared to most other recent Presidents — is akin to complaining that a leopard has spots. One of the things I hear from those who hate Trump personally is that he is worse than any other president who’s ever occupied the

It never rains, it pours open thread

Posted on April 26, 2019 by Bookworm

Paying work is calling, but I here’s an open thread about Deep State spying, Beto’s descent and Buttigieg’s ascent, and the creepy, ooky Joe Biden campaign. I had a lull in my paying legal work for some time, something that always leaves me worried. For almost thirty years, whenever a

President Trump, NeverTrumpers, and keeping kosher

Posted on April 24, 2019April 24, 2019 by Bookworm

Regarding NeverTrumpers, are there two different kinds — the sleazy grifters and the genuinely principled people who cannot swallow the idea of Trump? The Torah (that is, the five books of Moses) imposes multiple life rules on Jews and how many of these rules a given Jew follows depends on

Avenatti, Hillary, and Trump: thoughts about character and sociopaths

Posted on April 23, 2019April 23, 2019 by Bookworm

Avenatti and Clinton are self-serving criminals, while Trump is just a boaster and brawler — and he uses those traits constitutionally to serve America. I don’t know about you, but I’m finding completely fascinating the lengthening laundry list of malfeasance associated with Michael Avenatti. It turns out he’s not just

Wittes Impeachment Trump Derangement Syndrome

President Trump is the “dayenu” president

Posted on April 20, 2019April 20, 2019 by Bookworm

No matter how imperfect Trump is, looking at his record of accomplishments, as to each one I say the Passover word “dayenu” — it would have been enough. During the Passover dinner, one of the songs Jewish families sing is Dayenu. It is in the nature of a “count your

The “no news is good news” open thread

Posted on April 17, 2019April 17, 2019 by Bookworm

Thanks to President Trump, it’s mostly good news out there, which is great for America (yay!), but limiting for a blogger. What do you think? Scott Adams made an excellent point the other day, which is that, now that the media can no longer waffle on about Russian collusion (at

Random thoughts on the unfolding Russia Collusion hoax

Posted on April 12, 2019April 12, 2019 by Bookworm

With Barr promising to investigate the Russia Collusion Hoax, it’s a good time to think about the motivations driving those who masterminded the hoax. Yesterday was another day spent pulling out ivy, a process I found so exhausting, I couldn’t write last night. Not writing, though, doesn’t mean not thinking.
