It would be difficult to argue against welcoming an Amazon distribution center in Johnston. That’s a lot of money that will flow into Rhode Island and one of its municipalities. There’s even an important and encouraging observation to be made about the fact that it will be in Johnston, with its conservative-Democrat mayor, Joe Polisena. …
A story in Not the Bee about a teachers union seminar about handling “nice white parents” comes out of Pennsylvania, but one can be sure that Rhode Island unions are talking about how to “limit the power” of “parent groups.” This should be broadly scandalous, which may indicate that most unions across the country have been smart…
The bottom line is that the news media supports progressive Democrats, so its practitioners are not anxious to press their candidates when they decline to answer questions in the service of crafting the news stories. That’s why it’s entirely natural for Rhode Island General Treasurer to hold a press conference announcing his expected run for…
Let’s be blunt about it: the January 6 protesters being treated so poorly are political prisoners. In the United States. Reverse the parties, and we’d be hearing nonstop mainstream media proclamations about how Biden is “literally Hitler.” The government is actually arguing that stay-at-home-parents are more of a terrorist threat!
Michael Morse tells a cute story about how he used his one phone call from prison to explain to his future wife why he had missed their date. Before going on read how he tells it and come back. Here’s the summary with the key details for this post. Morse was racially profiled as some…

Remember the massive coverage and overheated rhetoric (continuing to this day) when the FBI tangled General Michael Flynn into a “false statement”? Compare that memory with this just-the-facts coverage of a Democrat National Committee lawyer’s predicament in the New York Times. The headline is in the passive voice: “Durham Is Said to Seek Indictment of Lawyer…
GoLocalProv is reporting that Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza won’t be following through with his plan to seek the governor’s office. It’s the obvious move to make, given the state of political play in the state right now. I suppose it would be too much to hope, however, that Elorza has realized he’s out of his depth…
At least the Northeast isn’t completely gone. Particularly encouraging, here, is how deeply the lawsuit is framed in terms of our complete loss of rights under perpetual “emergency” declarations.
This is surreal and shocking: Watch the latest video at foxnews.com Add it to the sense that public health experts, right down to people’s doctors (anecdotally) seem to be following political winds in their advice related to COVID-19, and it sure feels like our society is drifting in a stormy sea. The people in roles…
