In fairness, it isn’t difficult to make a devastating ad about the still-new Biden administration.

There needs to be a movie about the “Pineapple Express”

By Marc Comtois | August 27, 2021 |

No, not a sequel, but a movie about the inspiring story coming out of Afghanistan about “an all-volunteer group of American veterans of the Afghan war launched a final daring mission on Wednesday night dubbed the “Pineapple Express” to shepherd hundreds of at-risk Afghan elite forces and their families to safety…”  Hollywood used to be able…

Do cash-based businesses evade taxes?

By Justin Katz | August 27, 2021 |

Most likely, and good for them.  Naturally, RI’s revenue analysis chief, Paul Dion, objects: Confiscatory taxation on productivity will have that effect.  During the government-enforced economic shutdown, we’ve seen how politicians and bureaucrats prefer to operate:  Rather than allow people to figure things out, they’d rather collect taxes and decide how and to whom to…

Responding to contrasts of treatment of Ashli Babbitt’s killer and cops who’ve killed Black men…

… noting that the “country would be on fire” if the skin colors (and ideologies) were reversed, Glenn Reynolds asks, “So why isn’t it?” Well, apart from the fact that conservatives are more law-abiding and not trying to undermine the country, the establishment has displayed the rules since January 6.  Left-wing rioting is just free speech. …

It’s becoming more and more important to put things in historical context.

By Justin Katz | August 26, 2021 |

That’s why I love when Marc makes use of his advanced history education.  We wouldn’t be having the social troubles we’re having if we were teaching history like we should.  History has points like this, about how the Pequots attacked and harried the English settlers’ Saybrook Fort: Lessons learned during the siege of Saybrook escalated…

Wouldn’t it only be news if the state’s pension fund was at record lows?

By Justin Katz | August 26, 2021 |

I keep seeing these headlines about RI General Treasurer Seth Magaziner announcing record highs for the pension fund, but shouldn’t that always be the case?  Unless the workforce is shrinking, even keeping up with inflation should produce record highs.  It seems to me mainly an indication that we have too many people in PR in government.
