A point I made yesterday in an essay on Dust in the Light was that we communicate with God in where we choose to direct our attention, and one of the ways in which we make that choice is by how we act. Taking an action is like moving your position on the landscape; your observations…
Keep in mind that Thundermist Health Center is interwoven with Rhode Island’s political elite and is working within our school districts: The “health center” is encouraging mental illness, not helping people with it.
Roger Kimball has in mind, here, the attacks on Donald Trump: The disappointing thing is how many Americans just don’t care, because the Democrats have whipped them into a frenzy of hatred. We are fortunate, indeed, to have basic rights protected in our fundamental laws, but no piece of paper can withstand the desire of…
Yes, we’ve reached the point that the place to get real, non-partisan journalism is on a social media platform from such people as “Mel,” whose X address is Villgecrazylady. For example: The thread that follows explains how former Congressman Adam Kinzinger — a darling of the J6-investigation crowd — turned campaign donations into usable funds. …
I’m still puzzled by the presence of the leader of the Rhode Island Foundation in this image: Is the foundation involved with this project, was this just a bunch of buddies hanging out for a photo op, or is there really no space at all between state government, federal government, and the non-profit sector —…

Very plainly put, “I did not find evidence” is not the same as “there…
Joe Biden abusing the authority of his office to buy votes by transferring student loan debt to other Americans is back in the news, and it reminds me that I haven’t seen any mainstream coverage of a disaster facing just about every college-bound family in the United States this year: If, like me, you have…
For an academic project not long ago I reviewed data on RIPTA bus routes, including surveys of riders of every line in the system, so the unstated assumption of Antonia Noori Farzan’s recent Providence Journal article on the subject jumped out at me. The headline is, “What’s it like to rely on RIPTA to get…
Some months, it surprises me to find economists still putting out regular analyses of government employment statistics. Perhaps I’m too jaded, but I’ve completely lost confidence in the data. I used to have my monthly jobs review posts for both the Ocean State Current and the RI Center for Freedom & Prosperity, but during the two…
