Seriously, at the level of clarity that Matt Hadro describes for the Catholic News Agency, any denial only compounds the scandal (see also Tim Pearce in the Daily Wire): President Joe Biden on Thursday announced a “whole-of-government” response to “ensure” abortion access in Texas, after the state’s pro-life law went into effect on Wednesday. In…
In the Valley Breeze, Erika Sanzi writes about a relatively recent practice of Rhode Island school districts that has bothered me since the state Department of Education injected it into our system some years ago: the policy for teachers and school officials to deliberately lie to parents as the system helps a child to “transition” from…
…and it apparently paid off (relatively speaking). As the saying goes, we’re all conservative when it comes to things we know about. So, instead of calculating for a 100 year storm, which was the standard, they took New Orleans’ rather unique vulnerability into account, doubled some crucial numbers and got the defenses designed and built…
I’ll be writing about the details in an ongoing way, but for the moment, I had to pause and express an observation from reading some of the materials for embedding critical race theory (CRT) in education. There are people with tremendous influence in the industry who are probably clinically psychotic and, in any event, should…
The Valley Breeze reports the conclusion of a controversy in Woonsocket mentioned in this space a month ago. Democrat Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt has settled a lawsuit that the ACLU of Rhode Island brought against her for blocking people on a Facebook page that she was clearly using for official (which is to say, public) purposes. …
Glenn Reynolds posted on Instapundit some tweets from Meghan McCain saying she doesn’t recognize Biden as the man who “helped [her] through pain and grief.” She worries for the near future of our country, saying, “this is just as chaotic as Trump, just in a different way.” She can say that again. Trump’s term in office…
John DePetro suggests that the collapsed road in Portsmouth due to flooding looks like the result of an earthquake. Maybe it ought to cause a political earthquake. It looks to me like it follows a storm drain, which puts it in the ballpark of failed infrastructure. This ought to be investigated to understand what happened…
Joe Bukuras summarizes the controversy for the Catholic News Agency (paragraphs reordered): Last week the New York Times announced that Greg Epstein, an atheist and humanist chaplain at Harvard University, was unanimously elected as the “chief chaplain” of the Harvard Chaplains, the association of more than 40 chaplains serving Harvard students of various religious denominations. ……
Progressive Democrat State Senator Bridget Valverde (East Greenwich, North Kingstown, South Kingstown, and Narragansett) tweeted last night: Today’s headlines about the Texas abortion ban and SCOTUS’ failure to protect Texans’ reproductive rights turn my stomach. It is a fleeting comfort to think how lucky we are here in Rhode Island that we finally won the…
Approval of Biden has crashed across multiple polls, as Nick Arama reports on RedState: On top of that, the latest Rasmussen numbers found that 52% want Biden to resign over the disaster of the Afghanistan withdrawal, while 39% disagree. But that wasn’t all. An even bigger number agreed with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) that Biden deserved…
