Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island and Brown University now have several years of data in the compilation of their Rhode Island Life Index, which is basically a survey of how Rhode Islanders perceive various aspects of the Ocean State experience.

Enforced use of the term, “Latinx,” is exactly the cultural imperialism that progressives claim to oppose. As usual, they only actually oppose the forced spread of ideas that don’t jibe with their own beliefs.

Two:…
Understandably the text and numbers provided in news stories about the record-setting run of a male swimmer identifying as a female in Ivy League competitions are kind of abstract to most people. Matt Walsh provides video of Princeton’s trans superstar lapping the competition: Just to show you how absurd this is. Here’s the trans swimmer…
