Books

The Left is in an uproar. Parents opposed to their indoctrinating ways are forming a resistance movement. One uproar is over books – assigned books in the classroom and available books in the school library. Disagree with the content of the books? You’re for “book bans.” The leftist press makes it sound like you’re banning books entirely from public view.

The infantilization of Western culture proceeds apace. 

Woke censorship in action.

The folks at The New York Times Book Review would like you to believe they are the nation's premier evaluators of books, fiction and nonfiction. But the evidence shows the Times evaluates political books with a reliably partisan rancor or rapture, depending on which party it is. That explains their hammering the new Ron DeSantis book as a dull episode of "Culture War Mad Libs…

Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) made his second stop on the gauntlet of CBS shows on Monday’s CBS Mornings after a stop on Sunday’s Face the Nation (and ahead of Monday’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) promoting his book It’s Okay to Be Angry About Capitalism. While Face the Nation’s Margaret Brennan pressed Sanders on his latest act of…

The next presidential race is on. One probable candidate is former CIA Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. He just released a new book: “Never Give an Inch: Fighting for the America I Love.” Pompeo must be a smart guy. He graduated first in his class at West Point. Then he went to Harvard Law School. Interviewing him makes it clear that he is smarter and more thoughtful than most…

Having spent multiple segments decrying the disturbing beating of Tyre Nichols by Memphis police earlier this month, CBS Mornings wound down Monday’s show by bringing in racial arsonist Ibram X. Kendi to fawn over his latest attempt to spread his poison about antiracism (and how black people are still subject to inequities in all facets of their lives by white oppressors) to teens.…

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo launched his book tour for Never Give an Inch: Fighting for the America I Love on Tuesday’s CBS Mornings and, in a sit-down with co-host and Democratic donor Gayle King, Pompeo calmly dismantled King’s arguments on gun control, trustworthiness, and how Democrats have exploited January 6 for political gain.

The New York Times is already trying to poison the political well against Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2024. Jeff Shesol, a former speechwriter for Bill Clinton turned liberal journalist, reviewed the book “Freedom’s Dominion” by Vanderbilt University historian Jefferson Cowie, and reached beyond the actual content to paint it as a…

The popular children's toy brand, American Girl, is under scrutiny, as it should be, for releasing a book called “A Smart Girl’s Guide: Body Image” that promotes transgenderism.

If former Vice President Mike Pence is ever in need of a character witness, he could not do much better than one statement former President Donald Trump made to him. In his new book “So Help Me God,” Pence quotes Trump as pressuring him to overturn the results of the 2020 election by rejecting electoral votes from the states. When he refuses, Pence says Trump told him “you’re too honest.” It…

Ben Shapiro was blunt on Twitter. He had discovered “The most sycophantic book review ever written.” The book was the second tome from multi-millionaire author and advice guru Michelle Obama. The review appeared in The New York Times, from the paper’s “Help Desk” columnist Judith Newman. She’s “the help,” all right.

Journalists, politicians, politicos, and pundits all release books. Every year, there’s a grocery store-sized list released and hawked on television. As part of that, many withhold juicy details until the PR campaign ahead of its release. With that said, it was quite the act of hypocrisy by ABC as Good Morning America denounced former Vice President Mike Pence on Monday for waiting…

The front page of Saturday’s New York Times carried a surprisingly arcane story regarding the settling of an old “rape” controversy concerning Geoffrey Chaucer, the renowned 14^th century writer of The Canterbury Tales: “Chaucer the Rapist? Newly Discovered Documents Suggest Not.” Culture reporter Jennifer Schuessler reluctantly framed the vindication of this Dead…
