Bookworm Beat 7/18/24: A special “Trump miracle” meme edition
I have so many Trump and Secret Service memes that I’ll share them now…plus a few other memes (e.g., silly stuff, white privilege, etc.).

Victor Davis Hanson says that conservatives who look askance at a Trump candidacy needn’t get their knickers in a twist, because he’s no worse than anyone else in our political class, going all the way back to the 1960s. Hanson had the examples (lots of them) to prove it. When it

Reading the news lately is not conducive to good mental health. Obama has become a one man Murphy’s Law: on his watch, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. We are watching a train wreck in real-time. It’s as if someone back in the 1950s came out with a

We’re down in Southern California for Spring Break, so we’re doing some SoCal stuff. Today’s outing was to the Reagan Library in Simi Valley. My only other visit had been more than a decade ago, and two things were different since that last trip. First, on this trip, I wasn’t
