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…
Hank Berrien sounds an alarm that ought to draw the attention of Americans across the political spectrum: “The proposal would require banks to report gross inflows and outflows to the IRS, including transactions from Venmo, PayPal, crypto exchanges and the like in an effort to fight tax evasion,” the Daily Mail noted, adding, “The IRS…
Even two decades on, September 11 continues to teach us that we can never be complacent.
Can you really believe them? According to Daniel Teng of The Epoch Times, the government of New South Wales, Australia, is promising to begin returning “freedoms” to vaccinated people —and only vaccinated people — when they number 70% of the population. At 80%, “more freedoms would be available.” But what happens when the nation hits 70%…

Still, there are sometimes glitches and a pervasive feeling that something isn’t quite right. So, you must make a…
It’s very easy to demand that government “ban evictions” when, like the people Katie Mulvaney interviewed for the Providence Journal, you’re not the one trying to derive income from a rental property: “The governor and the General Assembly have the authority to protect the public’s health with a moratorium” as well as Congress, said Jennifer…
Some municipalities were only just getting back to some semblance of the openness and transparency that citizens enjoyed prior to COVID. For a year, give or take, municipal bodies seized dictatorial control of their meetings, stomping on the public’s right to see and to participate. In towns like Tiverton, where the council leadership has palpable…
If this is all it takes for the governor to declare “a new state of emergency,” we’re in deep, deep trouble. We may never, ever be in a state of non-emergency ever again. Enough is enough. No real argument is made. No sources are cited (only vaguely referenced). No legal authority is defended. Any deliberation…
