21st-century neo-paganism is worse than the original
September 17, 2023 02:25 - 1 hour - 51.8 MBEveryone 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...
2023-08-20 Bookworm Video Podcast: Maybe the good guys will win after all
August 21, 2023 02:29 - 35 minutes - 29.8 MBA 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.
2023-07-20 Bookworm Video Podcast
July 21, 2023 03:11 - 19 minutes - 16.4 MBI'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
June 30, 2023 02:55 - 13 minutes - 11 MBThis 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.
2023-06-07 Bookworm Video Podcast
June 08, 2023 02:36 - 46 minutes - 38.9 MBIt'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.
2023-05-18 Bookworm Video Podcast
May 19, 2023 03:34 - 36 minutes - 30.5 MBOn 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., ...
2023-05-07 Bookworm Video Podcast
May 08, 2023 03:18 - 44 minutes - 36.6 MBIt'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.
2023-04-27 Bookworm. Video Podcast
April 27, 2023 22:48 - 40 minutes - 33.9 MBThe 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.
2023-04-13 Bookworm Video Podcast
April 14, 2023 03:00 - 32 minutes - 27.6 MBI'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...
2023-04-06 Bookworm Video Podcast
April 07, 2023 03:00 - 36 minutes - 30.6 MBThis 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.
2023.03.23 Bookworm Video Podcast
March 24, 2023 04:09 - 44 minutes - 36.8 MBWhat'll you hear in this podcast? Ruminations about Trump, childhood, parents, black racism, gun safety and government, Heaven and crime, and a few random other topics.
2023.03.08 Bookworm Video Podcast
March 09, 2023 04:42 - 31 minutes - 26.4 MBDictionaries, pronouns, cops gone wild, celebrating ourselves versus being forced to celebrate others, leftists manipulating the human capacity for change, and Hooray for Jimmy Cagney.
2023.02.23 Bookworm Video Podcast
February 24, 2023 04:36 - 43 minutes - 36.4 MBBecause 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.
2023.02.15 Bookworm Video Podcast
February 15, 2023 17:08 - 28 minutes - 23.6 MBIt's a short(ish) one this time, in which I ruminate about Biden's presidency, leftist antisemitism, the dead in Ukraine, motherhood, and the intersection between conservativism and the NFL.
2023.02.04 Bookworm Video Podcast: Helter Skelter and the Cult
February 04, 2023 16:55 - 1 hour - 70 MBThis is the extended version of a speech I delivered about the left's two-pronged attack on American children via Critical Race Theory and "gender theory."
2023.01.12 Bookworm Video Podcast
January 12, 2023 18:29 - 16 minutes - 31.6 MBA special edition dedicated entirely to Joe Biden's classified documents problem. And unlike Trump, where the classified document "crime" is completely fake, Joe Biden is in real trouble.

2022.11.20 Bookworm Video Podcast
November 20, 2022 20:48 - 42 minutes - 34.7 MBThis is a valiant attempt on my part to look at Kanye's and Dave Chappelle's recent run-ins with claims that they are antisemitic. My conclusions may surprise you. Unlike all my other podcasts, this podcast gets a content warning because I quote material that contains obscenities. Links to content cited in the video podcast: Bookworm Room: Hollywood Jews and Antisemitism The Hollywood Reporter: The 100 most powerful people in Hollywood in 2016 The Hollywood Reporter: The 100 most...
2022-08-31 Bookworm Video Podcast
September 01, 2022 00:29 - 1 hour - 46.9 MBColonial Williamsburg, Yorktown, Mount Vernon, Monticello, and Montpelier -- we did them all, and I have opinions. They're mostly positive opinions, but there's one place I found distressing and depressing.
2022.07.27 Bookworm Video Podcast
June 28, 2022 02:23 - 59 minutes - 54.4 MBIn this video podcast, I give my own take on Dobbs and other Supreme Court issues, Uvalde, Marxism, Democrats as the Party of poop, the racist, and fanatically homophilic nature of pricy education in America. Here are the links to which I explicitly refer. https://www.bookwormroom.com/?s=party+of+poop https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=68&v=IfDr9nZAAMk&feature=emb_title https://www.foxnews.com/us/uvalde-texas-mayor-says-crime-near-daily-police-chases-a-hallmark-of-biden-bord...
2022.06.16 Bookworm Video Podcast
June 16, 2022 21:53 - 45 minutes - 38 MBI address hope about politics and climate, our reversion to paganism, lockdowns and what they did, the madness of the transgender crowd, and the Uvalde shooting, with my usual side notes into things I find interesting.

2022.04.29 Bookworm Video Podcast
April 29, 2022 17:57 - 44 minutes - 40.9 MBThis video offers a snapshot of just how crazy Democrats have become. But don't worry! This is actually good news.
2022.02.07 Bookworm Video Podcast
February 08, 2022 04:14 - 41 minutes - 37 MBI discuss a little bit of everything about the news of the day: Truckers, federal money for crack pipes, Joe Rogan and the "N" word, and more.
2022.01.16 Bookworm Video Podcast
January 17, 2022 01:05 - 21 minutes - 20.3 MBI'm learning a new technology, so this is a wee bit rough, but I cover the need for courage today (with examples), ivermectin madness and government control over healthcare, media lies, the lack of religious liberty in Canada, and Americans' loss of trust in the military. Here are the articles to which I referred: https://flconservativevoice.com/powerful-fl-consultant-alex-bruesewitz-being-targeted-by-january-6th-committee/ https://nypost.com/2022/01/15/five-college-students-speak-...
2022.01.08 Bookworm Video Podcast
January 09, 2022 04:48 - 52 minutes - 45 MBI'm back after almost five months (2021 was a busy year), and I hit the ground running discussing January 6 and how the Dems are weaponizing it, continued COVID madness, crime in New York, the Tower of Babel which goes along with the leftists' racializing society, gender roles in marriage, and more.
2021.08.15 Bookworm Room Video Podcast
August 15, 2021 23:52 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBThe three big topics I cover are Biden's Afghanistan failures and the left's inability to understand what's going on, COVID vaccine mandates and other pressure for a disease with a greater than 98% survival rate; and gender madness, especially the type that's targeted at children.
2021.07.30 Bookworm Room Video Podcast
July 31, 2021 05:06 - 42 minutes - 38.7 MBThe subtitle says it all.

2021.07.25 Bookworm Room video podcast
July 26, 2021 02:34 - 39 minutes - 34.5 MBOnce again, I give my invariably strong opinions about the day's news, whether it's lying doctors, sports teams renaming themselves, the Olympics, poor Jacob Chansley, Antifa and the NYPD, the myriad failures of the governing left, Jen Psaki's snark, or a wonderful Donald Trump impersonator. Here are links to all the sites on which I relied or to which I cited. (Also, too late to do anything about it, I remembered the word for the wonder Shawn Farsh is "impersonator" not "imitator.") Boo...
2021.07.20 Bookworm Room video podcast
July 21, 2021 02:18 - 50 minutes - 41.9 MBThis podcast looks at Turning Point USA's decision to ban a porn star from one of its events; the current unattainable COVID policy allowing the government to stay in the driver's seat; the big problem Democrats are going to face with their January 6 prosecutions; why we should be dubious about anything coming from the American Academy of Pediatrics; and how we can all help America through this trying time.
2021.07.16 Bookworm Room video podcast
July 16, 2021 21:45 - 45 minutes - 37.2 MBThis marks my second attempt at a video podcast and it's still rough around the edges (especially at the end) but you get to hear me opine about social issues and politics, including Critical Race Theory, gender madness, military madness, and more.
2021.07.12 Bookworm Room podcast
July 13, 2021 01:55 - 39 minutes - 33.1 MBAfter an 18 month hiatus, I decided it was time to start podcasting again. This time, there's a slight twist, which is that I also did a video. (Don't worry, though. You don't need to watch the video to understand the podcast.) I discovered that I'm amazingly rusty when it comes to the technical aspects of all of this but I can still talk the hind leg off a donkey. Join me as I walk you through the sublime, the ridiculous, and the very serious mental journey I make every morning when I rea...
No. 41 Bookworm Podcast
December 31, 2019 01:34 - 50 minutes - 43.9 MBThis is the companion podcast to my post about the way Bernie and other Democrats seek to end American liberty by imposing gun control. Just today, I put up a post challenging the gun control that is dear to the hearts of Bernie (the current Democrat candidate of the week) and the other Democrat candidates. I've done a 180 since my younger days, when I too advocated gun control, and I've made this transition because I've learned that the only way a society can remain safe and free is for m...
No. 40 Bookworm Podcast
December 25, 2019 23:01 - 47 minutes - 41.1 MBOver the past week, I’ve put up two posts about something that really gets my goat, which is the way in which those who contend that it’s possible to change ones gender — that is, to be “transgender” — are leading a very aggressive war against reality. In doing so, they are accidentally or deliberately partnering with Marxists to destroy Western culture. Reality will always win, but that fallout from a society’s break with reality can be terrible. If you prefer reading to listening, or if ...

No. 38 Bookworm Podcast
December 19, 2019 02:11 - 38 minutes - 33.5 MBFaux impeachment proceedings aren't going to help the Democrat Party faithful's deadly lack of enthusiasm; they're paralyzed by their own ineffectiveness. For three years, Democrat politicians and activists have been promising the party faithful that they'll impeach Trump. Instead, Trump's been going from one success to another, while the Democrats are left with two silly, probably unconstitutional, meaningless articles of impeachment. No wonder Democrats aren't taking to the streets anymo...
No. 37 Bookworm Podcast
December 17, 2019 03:38 - 49 minutes - 43 MBHaving looked at what Trump and the Republicans stand for in terms of values, practical politics, and long-term goals for America, and compared that to what the Democrats have offer, I've concluded that I'd vote for Trump no matter how awful a person he was (and I don't think he's awful). On all things -- the Constitution, an armed citizenry, binary sexes, the free market, climate, the national debt, immigration, the rule of law -- Trump is not just the lesser of two evils, he's also the gre...

No. 35 Bookworm Podcast
December 10, 2019 03:42 - 59 minutes - 51.9 MBThis podcast takes on a series of several different posts I've written, as well as opening with two new issues: 1. The IG Report re the FBI that was released today. (See The IG Report -- The Good, The Bad, & The Questionable.) 2. Michelle Obama's wacky comment on the "surreal" impeachment. 3. "They Shall Not Grow Old" is returning to theaters; try to see it! 4. Movie Review : No Safe Spaces (including my own take on the transgender movement's effect on free speech). 5. A strong ...
No. 34 Bookworm Podcast
November 28, 2019 03:27 - 26 minutes - 12.9 MBIn this podcast I discuss the many things for which I am grateful this Thanksgiving. They include friends and family (and the wisdom to attain them), the many blessings of living in America, and my incredible gratitude that Donald Trump is the American president (along with all the reasons why I feel that way).
No. 33 Bookworm Podcast
November 24, 2019 15:20 - 34 minutes - 17.3 MBAlthough the world applies the terms "Left" and "Right" to the American political scene, those words fail to distinguish American conservatives from the rest of the world's political "Right." We conservatives are different and we're better.
No. 32 Bookworm Podcast
November 11, 2019 03:36 - 38 minutes - 33.3 MBIn this podcast I discuss: 1. Why Leftism and Islam silence opposing ideas. 2. The Left's memory-holding of Eric Ciaramella's name. 3. Jeffrey Epstein and John Galt. 4. Senators who ought to recuse themselves from impeachment. 5. The military coup coming from the Pentagon Obama created. 6. Trump's efforts to stop funding foreign kleptocrats. For links to referenced articles and books, visit the companion post at Bookworm Room.
No. 31 Bookworm Podcast
November 04, 2019 22:40 - 48 minutes - 42.4 MBIn this podcast, I discuss: 1. How lovely and normal the American Southeast is (plus a riff about historic reenactments) 2. The plague of woke K-12 teachers and the ignorance they visit on students, with close looks at Christopher Columbus and Megan Thee Stallion. 3. People who foolishly accept as legitimate Leftist assumptions, including Mark Zuckerberg and Ken Cuccinelli. 4. The weird class division present in expensive private schools. See more, including links, at Bookworm Room.
No. 30 Bookworm Podcast
November 01, 2019 02:24 - 33 minutes - 29.4 MBThis podcast addresses these ideas: 1. The horrible feminization of modern thinking. 2. Politicians who want taxpayers to cover student loans ask us to pay something for nothing. 3. California's problems remind us that Nature is much bigger than we are and very rapacious. 4. The Whistleblower's staunch Leftism. 5. Trump reveals the two Americas, as well as the fact that once-conservative NeverTrumpers have to move left in their values to justify Trump hatred in our binary political...

October 30, 2019 03:09 - 37 minutes - 32.3 MBThis podcast addresses: 1. The homeless "crisis," which really involves governments using taxpayer dollars to subsidize homelessness. 2. The fruits of Obama's military -- one dedicated to social justice and climate change -- reveal themselves in the attacks his high-ranking officers (plus one of Clinton's officers) level at Trump. 3. Around the world, the ruling class has nothing but disdain for the people it rules, seeing itself instead as a transnational brotherhood government for li...
No. 28 Bookworm Podcast
October 25, 2019 22:53 - 44 minutes - 37.9 MBThis podcast discusses: 1. Tennessee as a haven for American values 2. The unending, but often very subtle, anti-Trump lies that media tells about the Russia hoax's inception, it's implementation, and its conclusion. 3. No, Hillary will never be president. 4. President Michelle? 5. Melania does not need to defend her husband. 6. The homeless are urban profit centers.

Explains the lack of science underlying so-called "transgenderism." 4. Gives a best guess as to why doctors go along with all this. 5. Discusses how promoting transgenderism advances the Left's agenda. 6. Talks about the effect of James Younger's travails on politics. Links to articles discussed in the podcast can be found at Bookworm Room.
No. 26 Bookworm Podcast
October 18, 2019 02:07 - 32 minutes - 28 MBIn this podcast, I talk about: 1. Elizabeth Warren is an economic illiterate, something due in part (I believe) to her academic background. 2. Bernie isn't cute, he's evil. (And I explain why.) 3. Trump's wisdom vis-a-vis Syria. He's already winning and I quote from people who help you understand why.
No. 25 Bookworm Room Podcast
October 16, 2019 02:04 - 11 minutes - 9.8 MBIn this podcast, I discuss: 1. Why I'm not watching tonight's Democrat party presidential debate. 2. Why it's fundamentally important that the House vote on opening impeachment hearings. 3. Why Americans are better than Europeans (yes, I said it).
No. 24 Bookworm Room Podcast

No. 23 Bookworm Podcast
October 14, 2019 02:46 - 34 minutes - 29.4 MBIn today's podcast, I look at 1. The fact that we're living in Groundhog Day 2. Trump's vulgarity versus Obama's vulgarity 3. Trump's genuine greatness 4. Silly Leftist language 5. The Leftist impulse to force religion to conform to behaviors incompatible with religion.
