Time for the counter-offensive of raisingmore statues.

By Justin Katz | October 27, 2021 |

I like John Steigerwald’s idea (via Instapundit): Instead of waiting for liberals to attack the Founders by attacking the statues that memorialize them, Republicans should be looking for places to put new ones, while, in the process, educating people about how Jefferson, who was born into slave ownership, helped to create the country that ended…

This is a really bad time to have an anti-energy-independence administration.

By Justin Katz | October 27, 2021 |

While reading this article by Katabella Roberts for The Epoch Times, keep in mind that it has proven to be possible for the United States to be an energy exporter very quickly. The world is facing a “real shortage of energy” that could lead to social unrest, according to Blackstone Inc. co-founder Stephen Schwarzman. “We’re going to…

Fathers and honesty are powerful forces.

This is such a great story, out of Louisiana: These guys for President. All of them. pic.twitter.com/xfdLgI7Ayp — Heath Mayo (@HeathMayo) October 23, 2021 A big part of what makes it powerful is the simple, plain honesty.  Men simply have a way of being that can affect an atmosphere positively, especially if they’ve been conditioned…

The phrasing of justice at URI is frightening.

By Justin Katz | October 26, 2021 |

The Providence Journal has mildly more detail on the saga of the University of Rhode Island student currently watching his life destroyed because a sent a stupid and racist message to a celebrity football player, and it’s kind of chilling: [Vice President of Student Affairs Kathy] Collins said the person in question is allowed to accept…

Maybe construction firms are missing equity targets because they’re ridiculous.

By Justin Katz | October 26, 2021 |

Stop everything!  Boston construction companies aren’t hitting their equity targets! Rules in Boston that set minimums for the participation of city residents, women, and people of color as workers on construction projects are not being met by the vast majority of projects. City data obtained by GBH News shows that in the last five years,…

It’s crucial we maintain direct lines with each other.

By Justin Katz | October 26, 2021 |

Although regrettable, I understand the value of activity on social media.  Still, watching folks build up audiences there gives me a low-grade dread.  We know Big Tech deliberately suppresses conservative voices and on a whim will shut us down.  That is why we have to open up multiple, direct channels that we control (as much as…

I’ve got to admit this trailer got me amped to see the movie, even though I had no idea this series was up to its fourth movie.

Referring civil rights violations against January 6 defendants to the U.S. attorney general is a joke.

By Justin Katz | October 25, 2021 |

I mean, come on: “It’s clear to me the civil rights of the defendant were violated by the D.C. Department of Corrections,” Lamberth said. “I don’t know if it’s because he’s a January 6 defendant or not.” More importantly, the contempt order also directed the Clerk of the D.C. district court to transmit the order…

Delta was no more deadly, although more contagious.

By Justin Katz | October 25, 2021 |

It’s important to mark findings like this so we can develop perspective over time: The highly transmissible Delta variant of COVID-19 does not appear to cause more severe disease among fully vaccinated or unvaccinated hospitalized patients, compared to earlier forms of the virus, according to preliminary data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The…

Education policy is a massive opportunity for Republicans across demographics, and justifies boldness and risk.

By Justin Katz | October 24, 2021 |

Of course, having said the same for many years, I think that Newt Gingrich is completely right here: Education is increasingly a policy issue which favors Republicans. … The fight over school performance has expanded as the Big Government Socialists move on multiple fronts to undermine traditional learning. Honor programs are being eliminated, and grading…
