A by-the-way note to conservatives on illegal immigrants.

By Justin Katz | September 25, 2021 |

Tucker isn’t wrong in this analysis.  There’s a reason our borders are open and buses and planes are distributing all comers across the country.  But here’s an important point that’s often ignored:  If newly arrived residents are here, and if they’re going to be voters, they might vote with you! That doesn’t mean pandering, and…

Reality’s scriptwriter has it out for the Democrats.

By Justin Katz | September 25, 2021 |

Just a few days ago, we were seeing headlines like, “Former USA National Team Gymnasts Testify Against the FBI Over Botched Larry Nassar Investigation.” Today the news is that “the FBI is investigating a group of male Afghan refugees after they assaulted a female U.S. soldier in New Mexico.” Notice how all the threads are…

William Shatner’s becoming an actual rocket man.

By Justin Katz | September 25, 2021 |

Jeff Bezos has recruited Star Trek legend William Shatner to give PR for his personal space program a boost.  Well, I’ll take any excuse to revisit this classic performance:

Today on Flip the Parties: Biden’s tax evasion

By Justin Katz | September 24, 2021 |

Calls of hypocrisy can go too far, but it’s simply too easy to imagine (meaning “to know”) how differently this sort of news would be handled if Biden were a Republican: [Rep. Jim] Banks, the Republican Study Committee chairman, was responding to the New York Post’s report on the findings of the nonpartisan CRS showing…

College professors provide more evidence that critical race theory is not meant to help students or professionals excel.

By Justin Katz | September 24, 2021 |

Professors from multiple states have signed on to the argument that “success and merit” should not be goals of a university, but rather that they’re “barriers,” according to Kate Anderson on Campus Reform (via Instapundit): “Admitting that the normative definitions of success and merit are in and of themselves barriers to achieving the goals of justice, diversity, equity…

We’re going to be addressing the problems cause by COVID lockdowns for decades.

By Justin Katz | September 23, 2021 |

Sometimes I wonder how many of the most-aggressive anti-COVID crusaders have children.  It would be interesting to see a study of attitudes toward our response to the pandemic and having children in the home.  As somebody with children spanning from early grades into college, I can testify that things have become much, much harder. Stories…

The progressive co-op move by progressives will be interesting to watch.

By Justin Katz | September 23, 2021 |

Matt Brown and his progressive friends are trying something new and bold with their 50-person slate, who pay money into the co-op to be a part of it.  Ryan Grim of The Intercept seems to think they “look to take over Rhode Island,” but we’ll see.  Something like this comes with a lot of conflict.  Patrick…

Critical race theory is a strategy for injecting ideology into education.

By Justin Katz | September 23, 2021 |

This article in Epoch Times by Patricia Tolson is an important one to read in order to understand what’s going on with critical race theory in our schools.  The bottom line is that advocates who think they’re bringing “social justice” won’t respect laws or the wishes of parents.  They’re on a mission.  When people catch on…

This spirit is growing (we need some in Rhode Island).

Between vulgar anti-Biden chants at athletic events and these billboards in Pennsylvania, a movement seems to be building.

Sure does seem Big Tech supports fascism wherever it can be found.

By Justin Katz | September 22, 2021 |

Somehow, this seems at odds with the strong hand Big Tech has brought to bear against people it claims are trying to undermine elections in the United States: Following Russia’s demand that Apple and Google remove the tactical voting app, and then threats of fines, Apple and Google have dropped the “Smart Voting” app in…
