It’s very easy to demand that government “ban evictions” when, like the people Katie Mulvaney interviewed for the Providence Journal, you’re not the one trying to derive income from a rental property: “The governor and the General Assembly have the authority to protect the public’s health with a moratorium” as well as Congress, said Jennifer…
Michael Morse offers a gentle suggestion to his fellow emergency and healthcare professionals: It doesn’t matter how whoever it is ended up in our care. What matters is that we care for them. Nowhere in any literature pertaining to anybody in the health care hierarchy does judgement get mentioned. Not in EMS manuals, nursing curriculum…
A new study (which appears to be out of Israel) confirms that natural immunity to the Delta variant of COVID-19 is even better than vaccine-driven immunity. Breakthrough infections are 13 times more likely with a vaccine, versus a recent infection. The number goes down only to 6 times for infections from longer ago. This study…
That’s the subject of my latest article for Accuracy in Media. The Highlander Institute’s radicalism can be seen in a review of its Twitter stream.

What should concern us all, however, is the way in which these public debates are being conducted. Let’s take a…
Somehow my youngest child discovered the Netflix original cartoon series, Ridley Jones, and wanted to watch it. Being very wary of any children’s television programs produced within the past two years, I did some research. The premise is that Ridley watches over a museum with her mother and grandmother, and at night the exhibits come to…
Here’s a problem I grapple with every day: I hate providing content for social media companies. They profit from it, draw attention away from other platforms, censor it, and use it to divide and conquer our civilization. But… a lot of you are there. Many people who don’t yet know they’re Anchor Rising readers are…
Some municipalities were only just getting back to some semblance of the openness and transparency that citizens enjoyed prior to COVID. For a year, give or take, municipal bodies seized dictatorial control of their meetings, stomping on the public’s right to see and to participate. In towns like Tiverton, where the council leadership has palpable…
Remember everybody’s fascination with the COVID-19 projections from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) when this whole thing started? On April 8, 2020, I noted how the institute’s projections had a strange habit of not matching reality. That day, the scary proclamation was that Rhode Island had 21 days to peak daily deaths,…
