Democrats on the March

A Providence neighborhood through a Statehouse window

Don’t trust politicians who don’t ask “why” about housing before they proclaim a solution.

By Justin Katz | November 24, 2021 |

Right from the beginning, an op-ed in the Boston Globe by RI Political Co-Op progressive candidate Lenny Cioe gives off warning signals: In many neighborhoods near colleges like Providence College, Johnson and Wales, and Brown University, predatory real estate companies are jacking up rents and forcing out families in favor of high-paying students. And that’s…

RI Kids Count racist tweet

RI Officials and RI Kids Count Stoke Racial Animosity and Violence

By Justin Katz | November 20, 2021 |

The Rittenhouse verdict has brought out the demagogues and revealed how deeply progressives’ radical racist ideology has permeated institutional America.

Bill Bartholomew tweets about "a strain of human"

Bartholomew’s Progressive Dehumanization and Control

By Justin Katz | November 10, 2021 |

Overthrowing a system of legal equality and regulated freedom for one centered around “control” and progressives’ tendency to dehumanize the enemy go hand in hand.

A medical test

The Political Co-Op’s leveraging of an early intervention story was cynical and gross.

By Justin Katz | November 8, 2021 |

First, let’s start with a thrilling observation of how wonderful our country and civilization are. Progressive candidate for the RI Political Cooperative, Mike Niemeyer’s daughter has severe brain damage, but as Katherine Gregg reports in the Providence Journal, modern life is full of miracles: In a telephone interview on Friday, Niemeyer described the invaluable help a team…

Aaron Regunberg tweets about CO2

With progressives like Regunberg, cynical blame comes first, analysis second.

By Justin Katz | November 5, 2021 |

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on the reason and one’s perspective), Aaron Regunberg deleted the tweet shown in the featured image of this post before the time of this writing. His anti-American and anti-capitalist word-association response, however, is still worth pondering. The image is of a chart from an article in Financial Times by Alex Kaufman that purports…

Kendra Anderson's Trump-It tweet

A red flag of dehumanization from State Senator Kendra Anderson

By Justin Katz | November 4, 2021 |

Remember that scene that stood out for its creepiness even in the deeply creepy Silence of the Lambs in which the kidnapper-killer is trying to get his newest victim to rub lotion on her skin to be suitable for his female skin suit, saying, “It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets…

Racial conflict fist as a green light

The purpose of critical theory in public schools is to make children unhappy.

By Justin Katz | November 3, 2021 |

Episode 49 of James Lindsay’s The New Discourses podcast, titled “The Birth of Identity Marxism as Critical Theory’s New Proletariat,” is well worth the hour and a half to listen to it, although it may leave you worried that you’re becoming a conspiracy theorist. As the title suggests, Lindsay reviews some leftist intellectual writing from the…

A water drop and ripples

Progressive activists wanted for false flag operations.

By Justin Katz | November 3, 2021 |

Things are getting humorous (and obvious) out there.  Over the past few days, we’ve all had a good laugh at the Democrat activists (one of them Black) who dressed up as white supremacists to try to tar Virginia Republican Glenn Youngkin.  More recently, I noticed local Democrats in Rhode Island gleefully fixating on the story…

Governor Dan McKee and Sgt. Pete Philomena

McKee’s administration has no patience for people whose jobs the governor destroyed.

By Justin Katz | November 2, 2021 |

For weeks, John DePetro and I have been discussing Democrat Governor Dan McKee’s response (or lack thereof) to the protesters upset that they’ve lost their jobs based on a mandate for healthcare workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 that he implemented, and they had their closest interaction yet over the weekend. What strikes me, in…

A water drop and ripples

Is this “bullpen” story from PETA a diversion?

By Justin Katz | October 30, 2021 |

Want proof that there’s no depth of silliness that radical activists won’t plumb and that the news media won’t take seriously? With the World Series underway, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is calling on Major League Baseball to stop using the term “bullpen.” According to PETA, “bullpen” references the holding area…
