It’s amazing how quickly things are moving. Watching the news media conspire with the Democrat Party literally to deny facts about Kamala Harris and disappear them from the Internet makes Martin Gurri’s two-week-old musings on the Joe Biden coverup look tame: With Biden, the establishment was presented with a difficult challenge: It was reality itself…
Hard to believe it was 16 years ago America elected Barack Obama to the presidency. In office, he did, indeed, usher in a revolution in American politics and society, and 16 years is many years of people coming of age without really knowing what things were like before the event. Cynical Publius tells the truth:…
Several examples from the history of the last century — with particular clarity in the Spanish Revolution and the rise of Nationalist Francisco Franco — follow a pattern. Communists made inroads and proved themselves to be such immoral, disruptive radicals that even fascists seemed preferable to ordinary people. Modern Democrats in the United States know…
When Elorza was mayor, it seemed embarrassing for him to take a public event as an opportunity to confront McKee, but his recent comments about public education in Providence, which formed the basis for the confrontation, suggest his emotions were well placed and genuine: “What we have now is a system that locks in place…
While the news cycle has definitely moved on from Michaels’s explanation of how crazy California has become, it’s worth pausing for an observation. By her own admission, she is and remains progressive. She’ll play along with a child’s gender dysphoria, for example, even if she thinks puberty blockers and schools’ lying to parents is beyond…
John DePetro and Justin Katz discuss the areas in which state and national Democrats are able to succeed.
A few weeks ago, Republican state representative and candidate for U.S. Senate, Patricia Morgan, came under the local media searchlight for some errors in campaign finance. I don’t see anything particularly suspicious in the findings, but the story does give me an opportunity to restate my thoughts on campaign finance law. It’s just a way…
I’ll start with two arising from Ian Donnis’s recent article about the state’s approval of the sale of two hospitals “to an Atlanta-based nonprofit with no experience in managing hospitals.” The first question arises from the description of the institutions as “cash-strapped safety-net hospitals.” Rhode Island, among all states, dove right into the centralizing forces…
Which is: Why is our system not producing the type of leaders we need? With Governor Daniel McKee, Rhode Island is getting a distilled lesson in our nation’s problem in D.C. At the same time his administration is signing a contract to pay a premium to dismantle the Washington Bridge quickly, he can’t find a…
John DePetro and Justin Katz trace the political ripples of a rapidly declining Biden.
