Kory Jeshua with his daughter

This is the vision with which Americans of all races agree.

By Justin Katz | June 3, 2021 |

A video from (apparently) conservative TikTokker (or whatever they’re called) Kory Yeshua discussing Critical Race Theory alongside his daughter went viral when it made the jump to Twitter, and deservedly so.  Give it a couple minutes of your time:* One of the best videos opposing Critical Race Theory that you’ll ever see. 👏🏼🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/cXOfheV0kJ —…

Michael Douglas in Falling Down

We’re falling down because somebody’s deliberately removing the ground out from under us.

By Justin Katz | June 2, 2021 |

I’ve been thinking about Stacy McCain’s thoughts upon rewatching the classic Michael Douglas movie, Falling Down. The quick summary of the movie is that Douglas’s character, William Foster, has lost everything.  Unless I’ve forgotten a detail (it’s been a while since I watched it), he didn’t really do anything to deserve it.  Those on whom…

Viruses on a cell

There’s good news and bad news for people who’ve recovered from COVID-19.

By Justin Katz | June 2, 2021 |

The good news, as a Johns Hopkins School of Medicine professor Marty Makary affirms to Steve Watson of Summit News, is that natural immunity after catching a virus has not disappeared: A professor with the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine has said that there is a general dismissal of the fact that more than half of all…

The end of Gould and 2nd in Warwick

A Warwick illegal alien shows RI isn’t immune to the wave of convicted sex offenders streaming across the southern border.

By Justin Katz | June 2, 2021 |

This year, government agents are seeing exponential growth in the number of known sex offenders entering the United States.  Joseph Curl reports for The Daily Wire: “Border Patrol agents in the Del Rio Sector in Texas have seen a 3,166% increase in arrests of convicted sex offenders compared to the same timeframe last fiscal year…

Is the South Kingstown School Committee retaliating against a resident for seeking information about indoctrination in the schools?

By Justin Katz | June 2, 2021 |

Nicole Solas describes her experience as a concerned mother with the schools in South Kingstown, on Legal Insurrection: These initial high estimates of public records requests are common barriers to parents obtaining information about their children’s school district. A parent in another Rhode Island school district received an estimate of $17,295.75 to obtain public information related…

A man flies with a jetpack

Any chance these will be commercially available before I’m too fragile to use them?

By Justin Katz | June 1, 2021 |

I have to be honest, when I was a kid seeing footage of Michael Jackson exiting a concert using a jetpack, I kind of expected them to be readily available by now. Seeing video of the latest version of that technology on Euro News, I’m still that kid… only now my window of opportunity is…

A lit liquor shelf

State House insiders give the impression of bingeing, with more evergreen contracts.

By Justin Katz | June 1, 2021 |

Workaday Rhode Island taxpayers are in a vulnerable position right now. Progressive legislators are surging.  The replacement of former House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello with Joseph Shekarchi (thanks to the electoral victory of quickly-proving-herself-a-far-left-progressive Republican Barbara Ann Fenton-Fung) is teaching Rhode Island too late that Mattiello really was a firewall against bad leftist policies.  And newly…

Providence Student Union Bill of Rights sign

The Providence Student Union “Student’s Bill of Rights” is a righteousness redirect.

By Justin Katz | June 1, 2021 |

The featured image of this post, which is one of several paid ads that the Providence Student Union has placed around Providence, according to Steve Ahlquist on Uprise RI, illustrates how off base the demands of progressive ideology have thrown young activists.  The full list of 23 asserted rights isn’t much better. Note to students:  Your…

Dan McKee gets vaccinated

Rhode Island’s governor should stop pretending we’re still in an emergency.

By Justin Katz | June 1, 2021 |

From nearly the beginning of the pandemic, I’ve argued that Democrat Governor Gina Raimondo abused her authority by declaring an emergency in order to give herself enhance powers. The emergency provisions in Rhode Island law are meant to be used to manage a desperate circumstance in which there is no time to handle a situation…

Orrin Hatch tweets Clarence Thomas clip

“I’ve never run from bullies. I never cry uncle. And I’m not going to cry uncle today, whether I want to be on the Supreme Court or not.”

By Justin Katz | May 31, 2021 |

Orrin Hatch reminds America of an inspiring moment from Clarence Thomas’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings in 1991 (via Instapundit): “I’d rather die than withdraw. If they’re going to kill me, they’re going to kill me.” One of the most important and iconic moments of Justice Thomas’s confirmation. It was a signal to the world that you…
