Public service announcement regarding RI registration renewals.

By Justin Katz | August 7, 2024 |

I was puzzled recently when I discovered that updated registration forms had somehow not made it into two of our cars.  The technician inspecting one of them told me many Rhode Islanders are accidentally throwing their registration forms out.  I chuckled along with him but wondered how that would be possible. A couple days later,…

Be careful about the daily proclamations about Trump’s strategy.

By Justin Katz | August 6, 2024 |

I came across a quotation from Nassim Taleb’s book, Antifragile, suggesting that the more immediate your focus (e.g., hourly versus annually), the greater the noise-to-signal ratio.  That is, the effects from moment to moment are more likely to result from random or unrelated factors, while longer-term trends are more likely to reflect genuine changes.  The advice…

To check in on Democrats’ understanding of our culture…

By Justin Katz | July 30, 2024 |

The Democrats’ appointed Presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, kicked off a universal trend among Democrats to call straight, married men “weird,” while Transportation Secretary Peter Buttigieg, who is homosexual, told a call full of racially segregated white men that abortion makes life better for men, too.  See, that way, we don’t have to worry our sex…

We need to get back to a society of mutual respect…

… but it’ll require a turn away from progressives’ insistence that everything must be politics.  This clip of Eric Weinstein and Nicole Shanahan discussing the “mind control at scale” we’re seeing at the national level is worth the four minutes of your time. It’s not only that our system has been coopted by the gaslighters,…

Credit where it’s due on RI voter roll birthdays.

By Justin Katz | July 29, 2024 |

If this is true, Secretary of State Gregg Amore deserves credit for undoing at least one instance of the state Democrat Party and Nellie Gorbea’s invitation to voter fraud: RI Secretary of State Gregg Amore just corrected a wrong made by his predecessor, Nellie Gorbea. In 2017, she unilaterally changed a policy to only provide…

The spin machine’s growth in audacity is becoming exponential.

By Justin Katz | July 26, 2024 |

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…

We have to tell the young that America just about had the racial division beat.

By Justin Katz | July 26, 2024 |

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:…

A possible reason Democrats might actually expect Trump to be a fascist.

By Justin Katz | July 25, 2024 |

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…
