Blue v. Red
It may be Crazy Season, but the rationale Democrats are giving for their votes is enough to make one despair of our nation’s capacity to analyze problem, develop solutions, and survive.
Professor Renee Hobbs specializes in media literacy education for the University of Rhode Island Harrington School of Communication and Media. This tweet of hers therefore struck me as indicative of misplaced focus: An important note of specificity is needed: Paxlovid skepticism is only a communication failure for those who wish to promote it (for profit,…
John DePetro and Justin Katz discuss the dysfunction of Rhode Island politics.
Remarkably consistent polls from WPRI and the Boston Globe tell a strange, yet familiar, story. Rhode Islanders think their state is going in the wrong direction — 45% versus 34% (WPRI) and 48% versus 35% (Globe).

(These progressives will not only applaud persecution of people with whom they disagree; they’ll feel self-righteous while doing it.)
The links are profuse and not worth culling, but on social media, progressive fascists are agitating to disrupt and have cancelled an event the Independent Women’s Forum is presenting at the Cranston Public Library tonight. The library released a statement that states the legal facts, but perhaps with a bit too much hesitance for the…
