Biden’s vaccine mandate seems strategically divisive to create two classes of people and businesses.
There are so many angles to debate with Joe Biden’s play to force every American company with 100 or more employees to mandate vaccines among its employees, but for the moment, think about how crazy it is economically. The United States is in the position of having more jobs than people are willing to fill,…
Healthcare workers (many of whom have no doubt had COVID and are therefore immune) continue to protest Democrat Governor Dan McKee’s mandate that they get vaccinated or lose their jobs. John DePetro has video. The contrast with mainstream media coverage is striking. DePetro’s headline is “Front line protesters takeover WaterFire.” The only coverage I see…
Although the case does not appear to be concluded in a final way, Superior Court Judge Susan McGuirl has dismissed a lawsuit by Bill Felkner against Rhode Island College, which he filed in 2007 after finding the social work department to be biased against him for his conservative beliefs. Just the fact that this case…
On Monday, Providence Journal political reporter Katherine Gregg tweeted that people protesting in favor of vaccine freedom for healthcare workers were trying to “storm” the State House. Unfortunately, it appears that she has deleted that tweet, but this short video and a slightly longer one associated with her official report remain the only evidence that she…
At least, that’s my reaction upon seeing this on NewsMax: The World Health Organization says it is monitoring a new vaccine-resistant variant of COVID-19 called “mu” that appears to be rising in Colombia. Even putting aside claims, like that of Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche at the end of the article, that our mass vaccination program is…
The Valley Breeze reports the conclusion of a controversy in Woonsocket mentioned in this space a month ago. Democrat Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt has settled a lawsuit that the ACLU of Rhode Island brought against her for blocking people on a Facebook page that she was clearly using for official (which is to say, public) purposes. …
Frankly, I intend to ignore Democrat Governor Dan McKee’s latest executive order, issued late yesterday, and make informed decisions for my own health and those with whom I come into contact. All five of the “whereas” clauses — which are supposed to explain and justify this sort of resolution — are purely generic. There is…
Contrast this news from the American Rifleman: In June, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) published a notice of proposed rulemaking that would make nearly all firearms configured with a pistol stabilizing brace subject to the National Firearms Act, requiring taxation and registration of millions of lawfully acquired firearms. The proposal represents a…
Matt Hadro reports for the Catholic News Agency: The Catholic Medical Association has joined a lawsuit against a Biden administration rule that it says tramples the conscience rights of doctors opposed to gender-transitioning procedures. In May, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a notice effectively reinstating the “transgender mandate,” requiring doctors to perform…
John DePetro and Justin Katz discuss the ways in which the movers and shakers in RI avoid things everybody knows.
