Perusing Twitter or X (which I may henceforth call “TwiX”) often leaves me feeling panic at the state of our world and the hopelessness of recovering humanity’s footing. No doubt, this is at least partially the way it feels to have your attention manipulated, but stepping back, even that reality is just another contributor to…
I was puzzled recently when I discovered that updated registration forms had somehow not made it into two of our cars. The technician inspecting one of them told me many Rhode Islanders are accidentally throwing their registration forms out. I chuckled along with him but wondered how that would be possible. A couple days later,…
I came across a quotation from Nassim Taleb’s book, Antifragile, suggesting that the more immediate your focus (e.g., hourly versus annually), the greater the noise-to-signal ratio. That is, the effects from moment to moment are more likely to result from random or unrelated factors, while longer-term trends are more likely to reflect genuine changes. The advice…
The Democrats’ appointed Presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, kicked off a universal trend among Democrats to call straight, married men “weird,” while Transportation Secretary Peter Buttigieg, who is homosexual, told a call full of racially segregated white men that abortion makes life better for men, too. See, that way, we don’t have to worry our sex…
… but it’ll require a turn away from progressives’ insistence that everything must be politics. This clip of Eric Weinstein and Nicole Shanahan discussing the “mind control at scale” we’re seeing at the national level is worth the four minutes of your time. It’s not only that our system has been coopted by the gaslighters,…
If this is true, Secretary of State Gregg Amore deserves credit for undoing at least one instance of the state Democrat Party and Nellie Gorbea’s invitation to voter fraud: RI Secretary of State Gregg Amore just corrected a wrong made by his predecessor, Nellie Gorbea. In 2017, she unilaterally changed a policy to only provide…
It’s amazing how quickly things are moving. Watching the news media conspire with the Democrat Party literally to deny facts about Kamala Harris and disappear them from the Internet makes Martin Gurri’s two-week-old musings on the Joe Biden coverup look tame: With Biden, the establishment was presented with a difficult challenge: It was reality itself…
Hard to believe it was 16 years ago America elected Barack Obama to the presidency. In office, he did, indeed, usher in a revolution in American politics and society, and 16 years is many years of people coming of age without really knowing what things were like before the event. Cynical Publius tells the truth:…
Several examples from the history of the last century — with particular clarity in the Spanish Revolution and the rise of Nationalist Francisco Franco — follow a pattern. Communists made inroads and proved themselves to be such immoral, disruptive radicals that even fascists seemed preferable to ordinary people. Modern Democrats in the United States know…
When Elorza was mayor, it seemed embarrassing for him to take a public event as an opportunity to confront McKee, but his recent comments about public education in Providence, which formed the basis for the confrontation, suggest his emotions were well placed and genuine: “What we have now is a system that locks in place…
