Whether or not one agrees with Attorney General Peter Neronha’s decision to block a major merger of Rhode Island hospital companies, the fact that it wasn’t really a typical Rhode Island decision-making process cannot be denied. From that fact we can learn an important lesson. Personal integrity probably played a role, of course, but one…
Ken has moved on. I’m confident he knows he made a difference in many lives.
That’s a detail that I hadn’t seen reported until Dennis Prager mentioned it in a recent column: “‘We’re uncomfortable in our own locker room.’ Lia Thomas’ UPenn teammate tells how the trans swimmer doesn’t always cover up her male genitals when changing and their concerns go ignored by their coach… “‘It’s definitely awkward because Lia…
Patrick Tyrrell and Anthony Kim summarize a recent study of the effect of enhanced unemployment on the job market: If common sense and reports from thousands of employers weren’t enough, a recent National Bureau of Economic Research paper found conclusively that paying people not to work during the COVID-19 pandemic was why many of them…

That’s what South African Doctor Angelique Coetzee reports having experienced as part of the team that identified Omicron: Speaking to Germany’s Welt newspaper, Dr. Angelique Coetzee, who is…
I miss the days when Thaddeus McCotter was a U.S. Congressman. Here, in a too-true-to-be-the-parody-he-intends essay he warns about the growing power of pro-government extremists: Though alarming and depressing, we can no longer avoid recognizing that America’s greatest domestic threat is from pro-government extremists. We rue that pro-government extremists caused immense destruction during their less-than-“peaceful…
Matt Margolis has some fresh details: Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) revealed on Tuesday that in November, Capitol Police entered his office without his knowledge or consent, photographed confidential legislative documents, and later returned dressed as construction workers and questioned a member of his staff.
