Tucker isn’t wrong in this analysis. There’s a reason our borders are open and buses and planes are distributing all comers across the country. But here’s an important point that’s often ignored: If newly arrived residents are here, and if they’re going to be voters, they might vote with you! That doesn’t mean pandering, and…
Just a few days ago, we were seeing headlines like, “Former USA National Team Gymnasts Testify Against the FBI Over Botched Larry Nassar Investigation.” Today the news is that “the FBI is investigating a group of male Afghan refugees after they assaulted a female U.S. soldier in New Mexico.” Notice how all the threads are…
Talk about cultivating a hostile environment! John DePetro reports that the state Department of Health is encouraging healthcare workers to tattle on coworkers who remain unvaccinated against COVID-19 (whether or not they have acquired immunity through prior exposure). Center for Professional Boards and Licensing Chief Ellen Balasco ends a recent notice about vaccination requirements thus:…
Calls of hypocrisy can go too far, but it’s simply too easy to imagine (meaning “to know”) how differently this sort of news would be handled if Biden were a Republican: [Rep.

The headline from a Dennis Prager commentary in the Epoch Times evokes two distinct ideas. Here’s the headline: “As America Has Become More Secular, It Has Become Less Free.” The first idea is along the lines that Prager emphasizes: Freedom permeates the Old Testament: The Bible begins with the story of Adam and Eve, a story…
It’s difficult to know whether to read this Lauren Clem story in the Valley Breeze as a comedy or outrage-driven drama. Ronald Landry worked his way up to the rank of captain in the Woonsocket police department, retiring in 2007. At that point, presumably, he took his pension along with a promotion of chief just across…
Sometimes I wonder how many of the most-aggressive anti-COVID crusaders have children. It would be interesting to see a study of attitudes toward our response to the pandemic and having children in the home. As somebody with children spanning from early grades into college, I can testify that things have become much, much harder. Stories…
