It’s time to confess: I am sometimes racist and homophilic

January 20, 2020 Bookworm 0

I try not to use race or sexuality as a filter for viewing people, but I have inordinate respect for blacks and LGBT people who come out as conservatives. My confession today has to start with the fact that I’m a coward. I was raised by parents who were deeply [Read More]

What the double endorsement at the New York Times tells us

January 20, 2020 Bookworm 0

Faced with a field of highly defective Democrat candidates, the New York Times hides behind identity politics to endorse two seriously flawed women. Yesterday, the New York Times came in for a good deal of both criticism and laughter when it endorsed not one but two candidates: Elizabeth Warren and [Read More]

Missouri governor Eric Greitens was a training ground for attacking Trump

January 15, 2020 Bookworm 0

Can former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens recover his reputation from a Soros-backed political attack that was a warm-up for going after Trump? I remember when Eric Greitens first appeared on the Missouri political scene. I liked him. He was competent, as shown by his being a Navy SEAL; he was [Read More]

Bookworm Beat 1/12/20 — the “I don’t have answers, I only have questions edition”

January 12, 2020 Bookworm 0

Reading through the news, I see that most of the news is so crazy, it doesn’t inform me; it just leaves me with questions that I’ll now share with you. I’ve mentioned before a game I play with a friend. He reads me headlines and asks me to guess whether [Read More]

Hillary won Toledo, Ohio, in 2016, and maybe the “Watch this Space” Dem can do so again in 2020, but this line for the Trump rally should worry Democrats. You have to watch these amazing videos of red-capped people lining up in chilly weather for the chance to attend one [Read More]

Bookworm Beat 1/8/20 — the Iran kerfuffle illustrated edition

January 8, 2020 Bookworm Comments Off

I’ve entitled this illustrated edition the “Iran kerfuffle,” because Trump’s brilliant policies and statesmanship have brought us further from, not closer to, war.

Further thoughts about the situation in Iran

January 8, 2020 Bookworm Comments Off

I continue to believe that Trump did the right thing vis-a-vis Iran by killing Soleimani, the terrorist, and these are a few random thoughts to explain why. At a base, reflexive level, I’ve gotten to the point at which anything the Democrats are against, I’m for. If they think we [Read More]

Trump finally talks to America in a Rush Limbaugh interview

January 7, 2020 Bookworm Comments Off

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 [Read More]

Watching Trump Derangement Syndrome in action in 2020

January 5, 2020 Bookworm Comments Off

We’re only five days into 2020, but thanks to the Soleimani strike, Trump Derangement Syndrome is already exceeding anything we’ve seen before. I knew that 2019 wasn’t the year of peak crazy Trump Derangement Syndrome, despite the excesses of the House’s impeachment process. I knew that the Left would be [Read More]

Trump has shown true leadership with events in Iraq

January 3, 2020 Bookworm Comments Off

Trump’s brilliant targeted strike against one of the world’s most evil men, while it offended the Left, may help bring down the Mullahs’ rule in Iran. So, let’s have a brief rundown, shall we? On December 27, a rocket attack on an Iraqi military base in Kirkuk, Northern Iraq, killed [Read More]

Bernie Sanders by Matt Johnson Medicare for All

I don’t like Bernie because his “Medicare For All” plan is terrible for America’s health and economy

January 1, 2020 Bookworm Comments Off

Bernie’s “Medicare for All” plan ignores facts: we can’t afford it, the European system floated on American money, and socialized medicine has bad outcomes. This is a somewhat updated version of a post I wrote in February 2016, before the Hillary mafia got Bernie to retire from the fray. When [Read More]

Bernie wants to raise taxes and it’s going to hurt

December 28, 2019 Bookworm 1

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 [Read More]

Isn’t Bernie a socialist? Why, yes, he is and that’s bad.

December 27, 2019 Bookworm 1

Contrary to the promise in a pro-Bernie website that socialism is great, it’s not: It destroys economies and makes people prisoners of their own government. The website I Like Bernie, But…, which was created in 2016 and has been updated for 2019, takes it upon itself to answer concerned readers who [Read More]

Things people need to know now that Bernie is rising

December 27, 2019 Bookworm Comments Off

With Bernie Sanders once again a serious contender, it’s time to revisit my posts from 2016, which take a serious look at his dangerous proposed policies. Back in 2016, I found very disturbing the fact that my children’s friends were wildly enthused about Bernie Sanders. I certainly understood their innate [Read More]

NYT: Impeachment rightfully gives losers tyranny over winners

December 20, 2019 Bookworm Comments Off

At the NYT, hard Leftist Michelle Goldberg explains that impeachment offsets the tyranny of the Electoral College, giving losers their rightful victory. You’ve probably had your fill about impeachment. You’ve read the articles about its being a kabuki farce, about Pelosi’s unconstitutional quid pro quo demands on the Senate, about [Read More]

Impeachment and the Democrats’ deadly malaise

December 18, 2019 Bookworm Comments Off

Faux impeachment proceedings aren’t going to help the Democrat Party faithful’s deadly lack of enthusiasm; they’re paralyzed by their own ineffectiveness. A Democratic Malaise A few days ago, I noticed that my real-me Facebook page has been peculiarly silent about Ukraine and the impeachment. This silence interested me. Because I [Read More]
