Bookworm Room's Podcast
This is an adjunct to my long-running blog at Bookworm Room. There, I talk about politics and social issues from a conservative perspective. My blog's motto is "conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts."

American Thinker Takeaways, December 31, 2024
In this, the last podcast of 2024, I consider my movement to “ReclaimTheRainbow” for everyone, not just the LGBTQ+ crowd; the Biden military’s crazed focus on gender and climate change rather than national defense;* Islamified Europe; and the necessity of Biden’s presidency, along with my hope for the New Year. *This is the Naval War College video underlying my look at Biden’s military: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEBdWjN9V_E...

A look at the eight factors that make American healthcare so expensive—and why socializing our medical care will not make things better.

American Thinker Takeaways, December 10, 2024
This video-podcast covers why it was a good thing Biden was elected (yes, I really said that), how Biden corrupted the constitutional pardon power, the difference between conservative and leftist populism, and why I think that Trump is America’s Churchill.

American Thinker Takeaways, November 17, 2024
This video/podcast discusses the illegal long count in Pennsylvania, the exodus from X, the La Leche League’s founder going out with a “transphobic” bang, the Antifa fan in the Secret Service, and how Britain is going pre-modern with Net Zero.

American Thinker Takeaways, November 12, 2024
· Jack Smith’s apparent retreat from the DOJ lawsuits against Trump, a tactic that is actually as slimy as the lawsuits themselves · The FEMA worker who was fired for instructing people to ignore Trump supporters’ homes, and the situation isn’t as obvious as you think. · The pathetic nature of today’s performers, which explains why it cost Kamala so much to bring them to her rallies (with a cameo from poor Britney Spears) · The overall cult-like nature of today’s leftism · A horrible development...

American Thinker Takeaways, November 8, 2024
American Thinker's managing editor, Andrea Widburg, talks about: An important point about Civil Rights that too few Democrats understand. How the election spelled the end of the pernicious intersectionality that has dominated Democrat politics since the Obama era. The leftist overreach that spelled the Democrats’ doom. The Trump dividends that are already paying off in foreign policy, even though he hasn’t even been inaugurated. The American people’s verdict should mark (and seemingly already is...

American Thinker Takeaways, October 27, 2024
This video/podcast discusses a leftist European writer’s accurate—and depressing—take on the state of America under Harris and Biden, the fraud against Israel that’s taking place on Wikipedia, and the wonderful New York Times article that’s meant to dissuade people from supporting Trump but that reads like the perfect Trump campaign promotional material.

American Thinker Takeaways, October 15, 2024
This video/podcast discusses the Harris campaign’s and the Democrat party’s inherent racism, the joke on the Democrats regarding Trump’s upcoming Madison Square Garden rally (plus the usual defamation against Trump), Kamala Harris’s transgender policies, and a lovely pro-Trump message from Stanley Kubrick’s daughter.

American Thinker Takeaways, October 11, 2024
This video/podcast discusses the chains the Deep State has on its employees as viewed through a Secret Service lens, Donald Trump’s brilliant tax idea, yet another big lie about illegal immigration, lessons from a Trump rally, the positive trend that election polling is showing, and the war Israel faces.

21st-century neo-paganism is worse than the original
Everyone recognizes that our dominant American culture marks a return to the pagan, but they don't see that, at a profound level, it's worse than the original. I've been writing over the last decade about our culture's return to the pagan -- and, indeed, I'm not the only one making this point. A lot of people are. In this video podcast, I examine the many ways in which we are abandoning the Biblical worldview in favor of paganism. That's bad, but I argue that the West's neo-paganism, which has m...

2023-08-20 Bookworm Video Podcast: Maybe the good guys will win after all
A cheerful look at problems with the Georgia RICO indictment, within China, and for the leftists in Marin County. The three stories I recount in this podcast give me hope. Whether it's the fact that even a stalwart NeverTrumper recognizes how horrible Fani Willis's RICO case against Trump is, the deep doo-doo into which China is sinking, or the fact that Marin's leftists are discovering that the piper inevitably must be paid, all of these are reports that will hearten you....

I've kept it short this time, focusing on one issue, which is the real -- and very weird -- beneficiary of the left's forced existential crisis. No matter how you look at it, every one of the left's policies is intended to decrease dramatically the number of humans on earth. This is a very bizarre and horrible experiment. More than that, the ultimate intended beneficiary isn't who (or what) you think it is.

2023.06.29 Bookworm Video Podcast
This is an unusually short video podcast (for me, at least) because it addresses just one issue: The schism between Republicans and conservatives. Not only do I identify the issue, but I also offer suggestions for addressing what I see as a very serious problem in American politics. Plus, I want you to know there is reason to hope in America.

It's another thrilling ride through the flotsam and jetsam of my mind as I examine the social and political scenes in America today. It's all here: following the money behind transgender madness in women's sports, Biblical morals, Hunter Biden as an unlikely 2nd Amendment warrior, reefer madness, Republican candidates who have gone to the dogs, the American institution that is the root of all of today's evils, and one Democrat judge who got what he voted for.

On this podcast, gay activists v. gay men, crazy leftist ladies, why I don't trust RFK, Jr., a little secret behind so-called "white" crime, and a love letter to Pete Buttigieg. The most important thing to note is that it's not my love letter to Pete Buttigieg. But that comes last. Before I get there, I discuss what makes gay activists different from men who are gay, why we'd have fewer crazy leftist women if men weren't marginalized, the problem (as I see it) with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and on...

It's late at night, and my dyslexic tongue is stumbling, but I think I made sense with my look at some of the week's news. As always, there's a lot to talk about: The failed efforts to destroy Tucker, the problems for the left with Hispanic mass murderers, words that shall not be spoken, the things that leftists see and don't see (and how that drives policy), and a remembrance of a very good judge.

The gal suing Tucker is very much an avatar for the modern left, so I spend a bit of time discussing her (which also allows me to demonstrate my growing proficiency in embedding video clips). But before I touch upon Tucker, I have a few quick things to say about the "fascist" label, evil Republicans, and the fact that Don Lemon is also an avatar of sorts.

I'm baaaaack! This time, I take on God's role as a speed trap, homework (yes or no?), Sen. Tim Scott, slavery, and women's (or is it men's?) lingerie. Because my work schedule and the demands on my free time mean that, at least for now, I'll be unable to do a current events podcast, I'm trying to focus on subjects that draw on my personal knowledge and insights rather than essentially echoing other commentators. Most of these are ideas that come to me in the car (I don't know why), so it's up to...

This is an everything and the kitchen sink edition: Slavery, Trump, so-called transgenderism, leftists' children, children on prescription drugs, pedophiles, reparations, politicians, and colleges! It sounds boring when I've reduced the content to its essentials, but I hope it's lively enough to stick with and enjoy.

Because I write so much for work, I don't always have the energy to put my random thoughts (and, sometimes, deep thoughts) into written form. My choice, then, is between a podcast or tossing those ideas. So here's that podcast. I managed to cover gender and sexuality, Biden and the PLO, Ukraine, the war in Ukraine, education, socialized medicine, and a touch of Milton Friedman who, surprisingly, sort of intersected with my life.
