Social Issues

A problem that influences a considerable number of the individuals within a society. It is often the consequence of factors extending beyond an individual’s social issue is the source of a conflicting opinion on the grounds of what is perceived as a morally just personal life or societal order.

The Democrats are preempting the possibility of an armed rebellion

May 16, 2021 Bookworm Comments Off on The Democrats are preempting the possibility of an armed rebellion

The nature of the modern military and Democrat trends in staffing the military make an armed rebellion impossible. I sometimes see people on the internet claiming that if the Democrats push conservatives too far – anything from banning meat to erasing the Second Amendment to publicly hanging the people who [Read More]

The inevitable consequence of the Ivy Leagues’ racist admission standards

April 12, 2021 Bookworm Comments Off on The inevitable consequence of the Ivy Leagues’ racist admission standards

You can’t interfere with a meritocracy and expect the results still to have merit — but that’s what the stupidly woke Ivy Leagues are doing. This is a slightly older story that I’ve been meaning to write about for a long time; namely, the Ivy League’s attempt to deny admission [Read More]

The wonders of leftist cognitive dissonance

April 4, 2021 Bookworm Comments Off on The wonders of leftist cognitive dissonance

It’s strange that, with full color, x-ray vision into the fetus’s world, leftists can both celebrate that view and still be pro-abortion. I grew up as a pro-abortion Democrat. I was unable to maintain that attitude when I saw the first ultrasound of my daughter at ten or eleven weeks [Read More]

Reconnecting with our fellow Americans

March 9, 2021 Bookworm Comments Off on Reconnecting with our fellow Americans

In 2021, we must make an effort to reconnect with our fellow Americans, creating personal goodwill, rather than anonymous, woke anger. I’ve been hearing from friends who have been unlucky enough to be in lockdown states. Without exception, they are depressed. The depression isn’t just because of the sad state [Read More]

Democrats have a schizophrenic approach to a woman’s right to privacy

March 2, 2021 Bookworm Comments Off on Democrats have a schizophrenic approach to a woman’s right to privacy

I think there’s a good argument to be made that the Democrats’ Equality Act violates a woman’s constitutional right to privacy. The basis for unlimited abortion in America is a woman’s right to privacy. It says so in Roe v. Wade, with its talk of emanations and penumbras: The Constitution does [Read More]

The anti-prison movement will be a disaster . . . for criminals

November 24, 2020 Bookworm Comments Off on The anti-prison movement will be a disaster . . . for criminals

Leftists, having placed pro-criminal prosecutors across America, are now doing the same with judges. Criminals will not like what’s coming. At Power Line, Paul Mirengoff took note of the fact that George Soros, having managed to place leftist prosecutors throughout America, none of whom have the slightest interest in prosecuting [Read More]

Do Inaccurate Polls Abet Voter Fraud?

October 5, 2020 Proof Positive Comments Off on Do Inaccurate Polls Abet Voter Fraud?

One of the reasons I believe that polling is so overblown, consider Hillary over Trump in 2016, Biden over Trump in 2020, is to mask, to a certain extent, voter fraud. We have been treated to, in recent times, reports of precincts where more votes were cast than the number [Read More]

CNN is busy rewriting history to blame Trump for the riots

September 2, 2020 Bookworm Comments Off on CNN is busy rewriting history to blame Trump for the riots

The polls show that the public hates the “mostly peaceful” riots, so CNN published a deeply dishonest “article” blaming Trump for the riots. On May 25, George Floyd, an overweight, violent ex-felon with serious heart disease, who took over three times the lethal dose of fentanyl, along with some other [Read More]

The Wuhan virus has accelerated existing trends

August 31, 2020 Bookworm Comments Off on The Wuhan virus has accelerated existing trends

The Wuhan virus has sped up existing processes, such as hastening inevitable deaths, changing the business world, and exposing the left. You’ve probably read that 94% of Wuhan virus deaths happened to people who already had compromised health, whether from extreme age or diseases that were already putting stress on [Read More]

Agatha Christie — the Nostradamus of the year 2020

August 27, 2020 Bookworm Comments Off on Agatha Christie — the Nostradamus of the year 2020

To rest from politics and riots, I’m reading Agatha Christie’s 1970 Passenger to Frankfurt. It’s a meh novel but is a superb 2020 prophecy. Agatha Christie was born in 1890, Torquay, England, meaning that she came of age in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Nevertheless, thanks to almost five decades [Read More]

Visions of America: videos from both left and right

August 19, 2020 Bookworm Comments Off on Visions of America: videos from both left and right

There are several fascinating videos out there, so I thought I’d dedicate this post to them, along with a little moralizing of my own. First, Trump handles with incredible grace a question that only a hack pretending to be a reporter would ever ask: These Trump press conferences produce material [Read More]

The WaPo romanticizes violent Antifa anarchists

August 11, 2020 Bookworm Comments Off on The WaPo romanticizes violent Antifa anarchists

Looking at the WaPo’s gauzy view of Portland’s Antifa anarchists helps clarify that the American media are truly America’s enemies. Andy Ngo posted this tweet: As Portland experiences more than 70 days of violent protests, riots, arson attacks, soaring homicides & shootings, @washingtonpost actually published a glowing photo essay on [Read More]

Wuhan virus — there are silver linings to this cloud

August 8, 2020 Bookworm Comments Off on Wuhan virus — there are silver linings to this cloud

There are silver linings to Wuhan virus madness. The past seven months have brought a great deal of useful clarity that we should celebrate. The other day, I wrote about the fact that Trump’s candidacy promises a return to normalcy. Under the slogan Make America Normal Again, we could have [Read More]

Barbarians At The Gate?

July 29, 2020 Proof Positive 2

You know, I think it is long past time that we dust off another good word that has been little used for too long: barbarians. [ bahr-bair-ee-uhn ] noun a person in a savage, primitive state; uncivilized person. a person without culture, refinement, or education; philistine. (loosely) a foreigner. (in ancient [Read More]
