Democrats on the March

Matt Brown swears in kick-off video

Who wants Matt Brown to be governor? Out-of-state progressive experimenters.

By Justin Katz | September 27, 2021 |

One topic conspicuously not addressed in Matt Brown’s slick new video announcing his candidacy for Rhode Island governor is what qualifies him specifically to run an organization as large and complex as the state government.  Surely a willingness to drop the F-bomb isn’t sufficient in itself.  That omission raises the question asked in the subject of this…

A water drop and ripples

The progressive co-op move by progressives will be interesting to watch.

By Justin Katz | September 23, 2021 |

Matt Brown and his progressive friends are trying something new and bold with their 50-person slate, who pay money into the co-op to be a part of it.  Ryan Grim of The Intercept seems to think they “look to take over Rhode Island,” but we’ll see.  Something like this comes with a lot of conflict.  Patrick…

The line of youth propaganda from MTV News to NowThis.

By Justin Katz | September 23, 2021 |

The connections one discovers while looking into emerging powerful organizations are intriguing.  NowThis is an online media company creating short, sharable news videos.  It’s clear that the target is a younger audience, and it’s also obvious that NowThis is a mainstream organization, which is to say, left-wing Democrat. When I began looking at the political donations of…

Rt 146 in Providence during homeless encampment cleanup

Clearing homeless encampments on busy roads is the minimal backstop against progressive deterioration.

By Justin Katz | September 20, 2021 |

In an all-too-familiar sequence of events, progressives made social media noise to shame a politician with whom they disagreed — in this case, Providence City Councilman Nicholas Narducci, who helped the city clean up a homeless encampment under a Rt. 146 overpass — and the news media jumped right in to tow their line, framing…

David Morales and Sam Bell with a socialist symbol

Representative David Morales and Senator Sam Bell are overt socialists.

By Justin Katz | September 16, 2021 |

Literally.  Here’s the headline of an interview they did with Jacobin, an explicitly socialist magazine: “Socialist Legislators Are Taking on Rhode Island’s Ultraconservative Democrats.” It shows you how frighteningly radical these people are that they say, apparently with a straight face, that Rhode Island’s leading Democrats are “ultraconservative.”  Naturally, this is standard language for Bell, who…

Luca Signorelli, The Preaching of the Antichrist

A new-media climate change propaganda video shows the direction of vaccine mandates.

By Justin Katz | September 14, 2021 |

Writing for Accuracy in Media, I note how similarly NowThis (an online video news source with deep Democrat ties) frames its climate-change alarmism to Biden’s vaccine mandate language on the same day: What makes this different from the typical cynical exploitation of disaster by climate alarmists is that NowThis released its video on the very same day…

A drone overhead

We’ll all be “domestic terrorists” eventually.

By Justin Katz | September 10, 2021 |

The day after Joe Biden talked about “tens of millions of American citizens like they’re vermin” (as J.D. Vance put it), his Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, took to MSNBC to issue a dire warning: “The threat over the last 20 years has evolved,” Mayorkas said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “We were, of course, in…

Joe Biden's smile.

Biden’s vaccine mandate seems strategically divisive to create two classes of people and businesses.

By Justin Katz | September 10, 2021 |

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,…

A graveyard

Oh Oh Cuomo

By Monique Chartier | August 13, 2021 |

Did you hear Governor Andrew Cuomo’s resignation speech?  If not, you may wish to take an antiemetic before listening to it.  (Transcript here.) His voice quavered with “emotion” at several points during the speech.  “I have slipped …”; “In my mind, I’ve never crossed the line”; “Excelsior” (really; towards the end). Oh oh.  So dramatic.…

Hasbro building on a red sky

At this point, just assume that every company and organization is out to indoctrinate your children.

By Justin Katz | July 23, 2021 |

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…
