American Thinker Takeaways, July 15, 2026 (UPDATED)
Bookworm Room's Podcast
This is a single-issue program about the D.C. gossip claiming that tonight—Thursday—Donald Trump will announce that he has evidence that the 2020 election in Georgia was illegitimate, meaning that Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff are never elected. There are several problems with that, especially the fact that neither of those Senators was elected in the November 2020 election, but the rumor raises larger questions about election integrity and the process when fraud taints a Congressional election.

info_outlineIf listening to Trump irks you, stop listening and start focusing on his accomplishments. Then do the same for the Dem candidates. Then vote for Trump.
When I'm bored, I watch video compilations showing how to do things better. Each video has 20-30 clips showing clever tricks for doing anything better (cleaning, packing, cooking, etc.). The videos are "show and tell," without narration, but with a music soundtrack. These soundtracks are always horrible.
This video, viewed over 270,000,000 times, shows both the useful information and the horrible music.
The bad music doesn't make me avoid the content. Instead, I mute the music.
There’s a point to his seemingly irrelevant anecdote: When NeverTrumpers start wittering on about about Trump's latest bombastic tweet or speech, or another act of boastful puffery, I want to tell them to do as I do with my life-hacking videos: Turn off the sound and just focus on the content -- the content, in this case, being his achievements in office.
It occurred to me that this would be an interesting test to apply as well to the top Democrat candidates, each of whom functions at three different levels: (1) Promises to the base; (2) personal style; and (3) actual accomplishments.
