Somehow my youngest child discovered the Netflix original cartoon series, Ridley Jones, and wanted to watch it. Being very wary of any children’s television programs produced within the past two years, I did some research. The premise is that Ridley watches over a museum with her mother and grandmother, and at night the exhibits come to…
According to Daily Wire (first discovered by Barstool), Comedy Central doesn’t find a particular episode of the sitcom The Office funny after all. The episode is famous for its politically incorrect storyline which features boss Michael Scott (Steve Carrell) forcing the paper company staff to participate in a racial diversity seminar where he speaks in…
Something really strange happened in 1990. There are some stand-outs, but mostly, pop/rock music fell off a cliff for a year.
Not so surprisingly, I haven’t seen much news concerning a lawsuit pro-life organizations filed in 2019 against the state’s new law “codifying” abortion into law in case Roe v. Wade is overturned.

The story of Morgan Bettinger at the University of Virginia, as Mairead McArdle describes it for the Daily Wire, is terrifying. Driving home on a Friday last summer, before her senior year, McArdle came upon a BLM-related roadblock. She got out of her car and chatted with “a city dump truck driver who was blocking the…

Reducing the rigor of American education benefits not only our global adversaries, but also the people and institutions charged with conducting education…
This portion of Ramona Bessinger’s experience with the shift toward critical race theory (CRT) in Providence Public Schools may be the most fundamental to danger the ideology actually represents: What saddened me most was that I would not be teaching the Holocaust any longer. The Holocaust unit included one of the following: either Anne Frank,…
At this point, just assume that every company and organization is out to indoctrinate your children.
In recent years, one worrisome question as political stories have unfolded has been: Where are the whistleblowers? James O’Keefe has found another one for Project Veritas. David Johnson is a packaging contractor with Rhode Island–based toy company Hasbro, who is also a Black man, and couldn’t watch the company go down the path of using packaging…
Back when the Democrats of Rhode Island imposed their radical religion on the people of the Ocean State in 2017 with a “conversion therapy” ban, I pointed out that it didn’t just affect the therapy of children, but adults, as well.
