Here’s a headline on a Steve Matregrano article for WPRI that might very well make you say, “Oh, come on”: ‘Earthshine’ levels indicate the planet is dimming due to climate change, researchers say The key question the headline skips over is: dimming from the perspective of whom? No, the Earth isn’t getting darker. It’s just…
Why not both? I’m not sure Stephen Green has it quite right when he casts his chips with the “power” side. After all, many provisions in the plan go directly to maintaining Democrat power, like this one: Illegal aliens will be having a field day. Not only will they continue to be allowed to flood…
This article from Michael Balsamo and Colleen Long would be a great study in propaganda and how the news media constructs a narrative that’s true-ish for political ends. It wraps facts in the perspective of the writers. A U.S. Capitol Police officer has been indicted on obstruction of justice charges after prosecutors say he helped…
Such stories as this one are among the first things to come to mind every time our political system lurches left: Over a decade ago, UCLA physician-scientists began using a pioneering gene therapy they developed to treat children born with a rare and deadly immune system disorder. They now report that the effects of the…
In New York City, a judge has suspended a father’s visitation rights to his daughter “unless he submits COVID-19 tests on a weekly basis or gets vaccinated.” He’s had the virus before, as well. The key, though, is the judge’s reasoning, which is (let’s say) pretty far from the actual science: “Here, in-person parental access…
The Democrat candidate for Virginia governor, Terry McAuliffe, agrees with Democrats in Rhode Island that schools should engage in a conspiracy to lie to parents whose children may be exploring a change of their gender. I’ve long wondered what the mechanics of this deep deception would look like, and it’s frightening to know it’s a…
I find self repeatedly coming back to a photo that John DePetro posted of the controversial meeting of the North Kingstown School Committee last week. As reported, Chairman Gregory Glasbalg ended the meeting on the pretense that two people in the room were not wearing masks. Given that excuse, what do you notice about the…
And we’d hardly know it if John DePetro weren’t paying attention.
Appointing political allies to cushy ambassadorships has long been something of a political joke in the United States, but Mike LaChance observes that the U.S. transportation secretary is apparently also a similarly non-essential worker: While U.S. ports faced anchor-to-anchor traffic and Congress nearly melted down over the president’s infrastructure bill in recent weeks, the usually…
For more evidence that we really live in different universes, give a read to Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s musings about the parent vax wars for CNN. It’s almost difficult to believe it isn’t a parody that flips the script, attributing to the Right what is actually the standpoint of the Left. It starts here and gets worse:…
