Chuck Schumer Tries To Feed The El -Sayed Crocodile
Bookworm Room's Podcast
Winston Churchill famously said that an appeaser is one who feeds the crocodile in the hope that it will eat him last. Now that the radical Abdul El-Sayed, a Muslim socialist, has become the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, old-line Democrats are running scared—and they’re right, too, because the Democratic Socialists of America and Muslims have made it clear that they’re not going to be the last to go but the first.

Post-Modernism’s Effect On Truth Among Leftist Blacks
Bookworm Room's Podcast
Jason Arday, a storied black academic at Cambridge University in the UK, and Angel Reese, a less storied black basketball player in the WBA, have both had their narratives called into question. Arday’s fall from grace (allegations of plagiarism and lies about his past) has become a cause célèbres, while almost no one noticed what was going on with Reese’s little Barbie tale. However, both speak to a ginormous shift in black culture, from one grounded in the Christian notion of truth to one that—at least among academics and others marinated in leftism—has broken free of facts thanks...

An Interview With Joshua Lisec, DataRepublican’s Co-Author
Bookworm Room's Podcast
Last week, that her new book, , is coming out in October. She added that she and her ghostwriter, Joshua Lisec, will be giving interviews. I instantly pounced on that opportunity, so Joshua and I arranged an interview. I found what Joshua had to say fascinating, for he expanded on the book’s basic premise: A taxpayer-funded NGO complex has become a supranational force that weakens American sovereignty, advances left-wing causes, and prioritizes global humanitarianism and cheap labor over constitutional stability and national cohesion. Nor does Joshua let Republicans off the hook, for he...

Michigan’s Jew-free convention?
Bookworm Room's Podcast
Michigan’s Attorney General, Dana Nessel, a Jewish lesbian, has been among the most ardent and radicalized Democrats in America. But the new Michigan Democrat party has no room for Jews, and she’s now afraid to attend her own state’s Democrat convention. I look at Nessel’s sterling leftist bona fides, and her sudden realization that the Islamicized party is casting Jews out.

Spain invaded!
Bookworm Room's Podcast
Although the American media haven’t yet caught up (as of this recording), there is a mass invasion taking place in Spain, as thousands of young, military-aged men from Morocco have breached the Spanish border in Ceuta, a small Spanish outcropping that shares a border with Morocco. From there, it’s an open door to the rest of Europe and to Great Britain.

A recent statement from Wisconsin’s current leader in the Democrat gubernatorial primary, DSA member Francesca Hong, highlights how different Americans’ constitutional understanding of “freedom” is from what the DSA has planned for us—and we’d better pay attention to the difference because, as Obama said, “Don’t tell me words don’t matter!” If we embrace the DSA meaning of freedom, we will soon find ourselves enslaved.

Rand Paul released Anthony Fauci’s diaries, confirming conservatives were right about everything. The diaries also showed that Anthony Fauci was a complete megalomaniac, with way too much power. What’s concerning today, though, is that the vast majority of mainstream media outlets (at least as of 3 p.m. on Tuesday) have assiduously ignored this story. If you’re wondering why your friends and neighbors in the political middle or moderate left aren’t outraged, this is why. The media have intentionally kept them ignorant.

This sounds counterintuitive, but the best thing that could have happened for America was that Trump lost in 2020. And those people who caused that loss have been hoist on their own petards in a very satisfying way.

A fully veiled woman won a British Citizens Award for her community service “empowering” women. I find it inconsistent that one can be fully veiled and empowered, but what interested me more was her organization and the money and people behind it. They are fully Islamic and manifestly anti-Israel. It made me...let’s say uncomfortable that the United Kingdom is honoring this woman and that organization. It doesn’t feel very British anymore.

The evidence is overwhelming: The Overton Window that the Democrats forced into a hard-left shift that allowed so-called transgenderism to take over the public square is returning to normal. Sophie Cunningham is Exhibit A, aided by the fact that the so-called “trans women” out there can no longer control their insanity, deviance, or opportunism.
info_outlineHelp me develop a polite, persuasive argument to challenge a young friend of mine who has bought into the media narrative about right-wing extremism.
I have a young friend — my children’s age — who is an extremely bright, thoughtful, and (so he believes) informed young man who wants to pursue a graduate degree in politics and terrorism. His biggest concern is “right-wing extremism in America.”
When I first heard this, my initial impulse was to say, “That’s just wrong. It’s a stupid Leftist lie. You’re being brainwashed. If you want to make a difference in the world, tackle left-wing extremism.”
Fortunately, I’ve finally figured out that insulting people is not the way to get them to agree with you. There are better persuasion techniques. Because I respect my young friend’s intelligence, I want to take some time to assemble an argument that will present data in a way that challenges his beliefs without insulting his intelligence. This post represents the first draft of that email.
Maybe it’s my legal training, but I believe that one of the best ways to challenge an argument is to start by identifying bias, both my own and the bias of the person(s) advocating the opposite view. I’ve been open with my friend about my bias. My problem is to convince him that the media from which he gets his ideas about right-wing extremism is biased too. Very biased.
The other day on his podcast, Andrew Klavan played two videos, one of the media celebrating Trump’s anticipated downfall and the other celebrating Obama’s allegedly scandal-free presidency. In both videos, raw partisanship is on display. The video below is Andrew Klavan’s show, which I’ve queued up to those back-to-back videos, starting at 19:15:
