Glenn Loury and John McWhorter

Brown University Professor Glenn Loury is a Rhode Island treasure who ought to be much more prominent in these parts.

By Justin Katz | June 29, 2021 |

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? We are to challenge them. They come in telling me that they are this or they are…

Tucker Carlson reports NSA spying

Feds’ spying on Tucker Carlson should make us glad RI has no spy apparatus.

By Justin Katz | June 29, 2021 |

It should also make us value federalism more.  Moving power away from local hands and toward a central government that necessarily has spies and a military is a terrible idea.  The petty tyrants of your local government may be annoying and difficult to challenge, but they’re still easier to deal with than a tyrannical D.C.…

A video from (apparently) conservative TikTokker (or whatever they’re called) Kory Yeshua discussing Critical Race Theory alongside his daughter went viral when it made the jump to Twitter, and deservedly so.  Give it a couple minutes of your time:* One of the best videos opposing Critical Race Theory that you’ll ever see. 👏🏼🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/cXOfheV0kJ —…

A man flies with a jetpack

Any chance these will be commercially available before I’m too fragile to use them?

By Justin Katz | June 1, 2021 |

I have to be honest, when I was a kid seeing footage of Michael Jackson exiting a concert using a jetpack, I kind of expected them to be readily available by now. Seeing video of the latest version of that technology on Euro News, I’m still that kid… only now my window of opportunity is…

Orrin Hatch tweets Clarence Thomas clip

“I’ve never run from bullies. I never cry uncle. And I’m not going to cry uncle today, whether I want to be on the Supreme Court or not.”

By Justin Katz | May 31, 2021 |

Orrin Hatch reminds America of an inspiring moment from Clarence Thomas’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings in 1991 (via Instapundit): “I’d rather die than withdraw. If they’re going to kill me, they’re going to kill me.” One of the most important and iconic moments of Justice Thomas’s confirmation. It was a signal to the world that you…

Could cryptocurrency start forcing government to pay its debts?

By Justin Katz | May 24, 2021 |

Mark Zaccaria explains, for Rhody Reporter, how the introduction of a viable alternative global currency to the U.S. dollar could force the United States government (and its dependent states, like Rhode Island) to finally start paying for programs… or reduce them.

Mark Zaccaria and shredded Constitution

Yes, parental rights do still apply in the era of COVID.

By Justin Katz | May 21, 2021 |

Mark Zaccaria hones in on a key question that seems like it’s been lost in the shuffle:  Can the state government and its subsidiaries selectively emancipate Rhode Island children from their parents for the purpose of deciding whether to be vaccinated against COVID-19? Hey, wasn’t it just a few years ago that the government was…
