April 17, 2018 Bookworm 0

Believe it or not, there is a connection between Mother Gothel in Disney’s Rapunzel and the fact that, in America, cops are the good guys. One of my little Bookworms adores Tangled, Disney’s 2010 take on the story of Rapunzel. I get why. It’s a visual delight with charming songs. [Read More]

Vassar Bushmills A lamentation As you know, I’ve always been a big believer in the curative effect of the bloody nose, especially since, despite all my mother’s efforts to have me learn the path of the straight-and-narrow in Sunday School and church, I learned several of the most important lessons [Read More]

April 11, 2018 Bookworm 0

When a Leftist judge is open in her social justice disdain for a “privileged” white male, is there any possibility of a fair trial? Two and a half years ago, there was a front page story in our local Marin newspaper relaying the shocking news that Samson Donick, a brilliant [Read More]

April 8, 2018 Puma ByDesign 0

That part of the narrative that the Progressives pushing the war on America’s law enforcement do not want Americans to see or hear, for that matter. The usual suspects are protesting a police shooting at the University of Chicago last week, and others since last week’s of twenty-one-year-old Charles Thomas shooting [Read More]

April 8, 2018 Bookworm 0

Second Amendment posters always come first in the Bookworm Beat, because without the Second Amendment, the Bill of Rights is a dead letter — and so are we. If the Trumps were Democrats, Melania would be on every cover of every chic women’s magazine in the world every month. pic.twitter.com/yLDSkfKufT [Read More]

[VIDEO] A citizen explains why the Second Amendment matters

April 5, 2018 Bookworm 0

What an admirable spokesman North Carolinian Mark Robinson is when it comes to explaining why Second Amendment rights matter for all free people.

The war on men: “What good are you if you won’t die for me?”

April 3, 2018 Bookworm 0

Understanding the Men’s Rights Movement hints that feminism’s war on men is a class-based issue tied to the relative safety of a middle-class man’s life. I have been watching a fascinating documentary called The Red Pill. The filmmaker is Cassie Jaye, a young woman whose previous documentaries were Progressive in [Read More]

Calling Christ a drag queen pedophile shows what’s wrong with academia

April 1, 2018 Bookworm 0

An academic article calling Christ a queer, pedophile drag queen reveals that modern academics know nothing about anything — and then teach it to our kids. I finally got around to reading the article about Holy Cross College professor Tat-Siong Benny Liew, who has some interesting ideas about Jesus Christ (whose resurrection [Read More]

The Attacks on Social Media Companies Are Deserved And Should Continue

April 1, 2018 William of Ockham 1

This past week saw Facebook under attack after a scandal involving abuse of user data. Suspicion quickly spread to Google, Instagram, Twitter and other “free” social media platforms.

Risk Assessment and the Modern Liberal

March 30, 2018 Proof Positive 0

Risk assessment is in the news. Most of it phony. Let me give you an example: Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, opened in 1990. In the last 28 years, approximately 84,000 students have passed through its halls. Fourteen didn’t make it. For all you statisticians out there, that’s .0001666 [Read More]

March 29, 2018 Bookworm 0

Meeting representatives of Berkeley’s College Republicans in the Trump era, you learn that courage is not limited to men in uniform on foreign battlefields.

If you want diversity among thought-leaders, look Right, not Left

March 28, 2018 Bookworm 0

A few photos show that, while the Left preaches racial and gender diversity, it’s actually conservatives who truly embrace it –and for the best reasons. The Left loves to hector conservatives for being white — white privilege, white supremacy, white hegemony, toxic whiteness, etc. They also like to claim that [Read More]
