Note something about the riotous behavior reaching American campuses, as Ted Gehring spotlights, here: The last go-round of riots took place mostly in urban areas, this one has been on campuses. Granted that they’re often in urban areas, but their attack on colleges seems like the revolutionaries’ taking another step. One or two more and…
This video of a police interaction with a young couple entered my awareness at a moment of reduced willpower, so I watched it. Although it escalates from a towed car to an arrest and flirts with even more-dangerous outcome, the entire twenty minutes is primarily a display of young adults, feeling their economic oats, whose…
This has become a focus of the Providence Journal’s city reporter: What stories is Russo not covering because she’s spending so much time on this one? Why is a personnel matter at a private organization newsworthy? As for the content, it finally provides some explanation for a mythical cliché. I’ve never understood the rule that you…

The short answer is that we shouldn’t, but Bill Bartholomew’s attempt is worth a double-take and some thought about what he’s missing: at nearly 68k, Scott Avedisian’s termination payment is almost as much as the contract that the most exciting player in college basketball, Caitlin Clark, signed after being selected first overall in the WNBA draft…
I don’t want to read too much into a few seconds of video, but something is chilling about progressive Democrat Representative Brandon Potter’s face as Meara began to speak in favor of Republican Representative Patricia Morgan’s bill to prevent transgender-related mutilation of children: His facial expression is not just of hatred. It’s cold, as if…
A point I made yesterday in an essay on Dust in the Light was that we communicate with God in where we choose to direct our attention, and one of the ways in which we make that choice is by how we act. Taking an action is like moving your position on the landscape; your observations…
