Brien Riedle recently tweeted some info from Pew Research that conservatives (or just non-radicals) should keep in mind. Overall Twitter users skew Democrat so heavily it would be tied with Hawaii and Vermont as the most liberal state. But the most active Twitter users (producing 92% of all tweets) are so skewed that they would…
At a midlife crossroads with the opportunity for career adjustments, I’ve been reading life-improvement and business-type books, and one repeated theme that wouldn’t necessarily come first to mind in that genre is the value of gratitude. Being grateful affects how you approach problems and how you present yourself, which affects your ability to overcome challenges…
This news that Charlie McCarthy reports for Newsmax is not surprising: There are about 10 million unemployed workers in the U.S., and more than nine million jobs available, yet only 10% of job seekers say they’re looking actively and urgently, Axios reported Wednesday. About 15% say they’re looking actively but not urgently. About 45% said they’re…
Here he is plainly stating a purpose for higher education that used to enjoy broad (near-universal) agreement, as quoted by Katie Pavlich on Townhall: “To teach people they are [their skin color], is criminal in my opinion, okay?

As shown in the featured image for this post, she posted a picture of the Sakonnet River Bridge, apparently taken from the bike path, showing that its changeable lights were shining in a rainbow.…
I almost feel the need to apologize for keeping on this story when nothing new has really been added, but the key moral of the thing — which nobody is talking about — is right there screaming at us. Ted Nesi of WPRI tweeted out a letter that the president of Bailey’s Beach, Alexander Auersperg, reportedly…
As my opening question hints, the support for legislation making Rhode Island the fifth state in the country to ban child marriage earlier this month was so uniform that it couldn’t help but excite my contrarian nature. Writing in Forbes, Ryan Sasse of UNICEF’s praise was particularly profuse: With the enactment of H5387/S398 on June 7,…
Conservatives and Republicans aren’t outraged at the nature of Bailey’s Beach Club or Sheldon Whitehouse’s membership in it. They’re using the controversy to bring attention to the cartoonish hypocrisy of progressives and Democrats. It’s really that simple, and everybody knows it. So, when Democrat activist Devin Driscoll lauds a Ted Nesi article on WPRI as…
It turns out, as College Fix editor Jennifer Kabbany reports, that the moral panic at Central Connecticut State University over an American flag hoisted on a crane above a noose was not a racist provocation: A construction company building a parking structure at Central Connecticut State University had hoisted an American flag at the end of…
