Blue v. Red
John and Justin discuss the position that the establishment and the Left have gotten themselves in.
Episode 49 of James Lindsay’s The New Discourses podcast, titled “The Birth of Identity Marxism as Critical Theory’s New Proletariat,” is well worth the hour and a half to listen to it, although it may leave you worried that you’re becoming a conspiracy theorist. As the title suggests, Lindsay reviews some leftist intellectual writing from the…
Jordan Chamberlain very succinctly framed the feeling that many parents are bringing into the voting booth with them: watching the VA gov race feels like i’m waiting to hear if my daughter will be taught math or transgender hormone therapy The responses citing relatively good math scores in Virginia kind of miss the point.

Things are getting humorous (and obvious) out there. Over the past few days, we’ve all had a good laugh at the Democrat activists (one of them Black) who dressed up as white supremacists to try to tar Virginia Republican Glenn Youngkin.

What strikes me, in…
Anchor Rising cofounder Andrew Morse retweeted the photo from ABC6’s Doreen Scanlon that I’ve used as the featured image of this post with the following commentary: Literally and figuratively: How big decisions are made by Rhode Island government. This is the sort of observation a conservative makes when seeing a campy lottery-style method for giving…
Sometimes watching public policy is like a society-wide 4D puzzle, with the fourth dimension being (of course) time. I remember in 2013 when I had to explain to folks behind the scenes why legislation to create a new type of corporation — the public benefit corporation — belonged on the RI Center for Freedom &…
