Bookworm Beat 12/28/24: Memes to close out 2024

Posted on December 28, 2024 by Bookworm

2024 was a crazy year, both very good and very bad, and I’ve got memes to cover all of it (especially lots of silly stuff)!

Bookworm Beat 5/24/24: the world turned upside down edition

Posted on May 24, 2024 by Bookworm

When the British surrendered at Yorktown, their band played “The World Turned Upside Down.” That was a good 180. This time, the 180 is a very bad one, but thankfully, the memes are good.

Posted on June 1, 2023 by Bookworm

I stopped with 125 memes but, to be honest, I could have gone to 200 or more because the world we once knew is imploding.

It’s not easy to find a common theme other than that Democrats and other leftists are driving America to the brink…but at least we can still laugh.

The lessons we only learn through pain

Posted on April 3, 2021 by Bookworm

Corporations funded the Democrat party and now openly push its policies. It’s time to give them a lesson in economic pain to make them stop. For anyone hoping that this is some weird S&M post, you’re at the wrong place. Instead, it’s about the fact that, while praising good behavior

Austin is trying to deter crime the ‘Minority Report’ way

Posted on August 16, 2020August 16, 2020 by Bookworm

By shifting money from policing to encouraging abortions, Austin is fulfilling the eugenicists’ dream of a world in which no criminals exist. The Minority Report was a 2002 movie (based upon a Philip K. Dick short story). The premise was that law enforcement had moved to a point at which

A modest proposal for dealing with criminals

Posted on October 10, 2019October 11, 2019 by Bookworm

While prisons remove criminals from society, they aren’t much of a deterrent for future crimes. I may have a better idea (or, at least, a creative one). I was touring a colonial era site in South Carolina when I came to the spot at which a jail once stood. Although

Notes from the road: college, crime, and hidden codes

Posted on August 27, 2018 by Bookworm

This post from the road looks at college orientations, America’s scary Cultural Revolution, crime, and more. My apologies for being quiet for so long. I dropped a Little Bookworm off at college, which kept me away from my blog and am now visiting a friend who has minimal internet connection.

On the scariness of watching the Western world revert to paganism

Posted on August 15, 2018August 15, 2018 by Bookworm

There’s a scary paganism to the unbridled blood lust that appears wherever Judeo-Christian ethical monotheism is in retreat. Ethical monotheism underpins Western civilization. It’s a gift from the Jews, transmitted to large parts of the world through Christians. It is the idea that there is a single God. Unlike pagan

With Donald Trump paying homage to the Second Amendment, let’s remember why it matters.

Posted on April 28, 2017April 28, 2017 by Bookworm

Donald Trump told the NRA that “The eight-year assault on your Second Amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end.” Here’s why the promise matters. Donald Trump spoke today at the National Rifle Association’s 2017 Leadership Forum. While it’s clear that he’s not necessarily up on the finer details of

National Review cruise — 11/15/16 Urban America seminar

Posted on November 15, 2016 by Bookworm

This afternoon we National Review cruisers took in two seminars, one about the state of urban America and the other about the state of rural America. From my post caption, you can see that I’m planning on covering the urban American seminar. Because I took notes this time around, my

Progressive v. Conservative ideologies, not the candidates, are the real drivers in this election UPDATED

Posted on October 11, 2016October 11, 2016 by Bookworm

A Progressive friend is relentlessly pushing “Trump is awful” stories on me. I, a conservative, invariably counter by pointing out that Hillary’s list of sins and failures is infinitely worse. I realized yesterday that my arguments are irrelevant. My friend will never vote for someone who is not 100% pro-abortion,

Posted on July 17, 2016 by Bookworm

Blacks and Muslims should be angry at their criminal cohorts, not at us. In the context of an article about political correctness, Andrew Klavan said something I’ve been struggling to say for some time. He acknowledges that blacks are on the receiving end of much more police activity, something frustrating

The Bookworm Beat 12/12/14 — Grabbing at headlines edition, and Open Thread

Posted on December 12, 2014 by Bookworm

I was talking with a friend of mine about the totally false alleged rape epidemic on America’s college campuses. While the epidemic may be false, the destruction wrought on young men is very real. Moreover, as false accusations crowd out the real ones, those young women (and men) who are
