Writing for Accuracy in Media, I note how similarly NowThis (an online video news source with deep Democrat ties) frames its climate-change alarmism to Biden’s vaccine mandate language on the same day: What makes this different from the typical cynical exploitation of disaster by climate alarmists is that NowThis released its video on the very same day…
Hank Berrien sounds an alarm that ought to draw the attention of Americans across the political spectrum: “The proposal would require banks to report gross inflows and outflows to the IRS, including transactions from Venmo, PayPal, crypto exchanges and the like in an effort to fight tax evasion,” the Daily Mail noted, adding, “The IRS…
How Democrat Governor Dan McKee handled the awarding of a $5 million education-related contract to a group of his friends and allies has been a disaster, giving his opposition a wide-open window through which to pepper him with political arrows, but I’m withholding judgment on the action itself. This paragraph from Patrick Anderson’s Providence Journal article on…
The day after Joe Biden talked about “tens of millions of American citizens like they’re vermin” (as J.D. Vance put it), his Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, took to MSNBC to issue a dire warning: “The threat over the last 20 years has evolved,” Mayorkas said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “We were, of course, in…
Yesterday, Patrick Anderson of the Providence Journal tweeted the picture used as the featured image in this post. As Anderson notes, the masking is entirely according to partisan lines. Unmasked (left to right) are Senators Jessica de la Cruz and Gordon Rogers and Representatives David Place and Brian Newberry. The follow-up comments are interesting, too. Far-left…
Biden’s vaccine mandate seems strategically divisive to create two classes of people and businesses.
There are so many angles to debate with Joe Biden’s play to force every American company with 100 or more employees to mandate vaccines among its employees, but for the moment, think about how crazy it is economically. The United States is in the position of having more jobs than people are willing to fill,…
As I write in my latest article for Accuracy in Media, the oldest teenagers alive today were born in 2001, so no teens have memories of 9/11/2001 and probably very few memories of that entire decade. UMass Amherst history professor Asheesh Kapur Siddique attempts to take full advantage of that fact by framing September 11 as…
People on both sides of the argument over our response to COVID-19 are tending to act on emotion, but as often happens, review of the facts brings the topic back to individual decisions about risks and consequences. Of course, the realization that a topic is up for debate counts as an argument against those who…
Michaeleen Doucleff reports for NPR (via Instapundit) that studies are finding that people who had COVID and then get vaccinated have a sort of super-immunity: Over the past several months, a series of studies has found that some people mount an extraordinarily powerful immune response against SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes the disease COVID-19. Their…
Credit is due to WPRI’s Courtney Carter for including at least this much nuance in her article about increasing wait times in hospitals in Rhode Island and across the country, although it takes several paragraphs and scary visions of up to 48-hour delays for emergency care to get to this: [Dr. Laura Forman, chief of…
