21st-century neo-paganism is worse than the original

9/16/2023
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 made huge headway in America, is even worse than the original. That's not just because we're killing people; it's because the goals are different.

2023-08-20 Bookworm Video Podcast: Maybe the good guys will win after all

8/20/2023
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.

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 one of the statistical lies behind the wave of white crime Biden insists is terrifying the nation.

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 you whether they're worth your time.

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.

This 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.
