I’m seeing two conflicting talking points permeate my social media feeds. Out one side of their mouths, they insist that people must vote against Allan Fung no matter who he is, what he’s done, or what he believes, because he’s simply a vote for a Republican Congress. Out the other side of their mouths, they…
The student protest against Providence teacher Ramona Bessinger ought to be a teachable moment. Thus far, not a single credible accusation against her relates to anything she’s done in the classroom or involving particular students. The students are incensed by her personal social media activities. Linda Borg’s article on the matter is telling. The tone…
We can have honest discussions about propriety and the conflicting emotional reactions people have to public images, but the strange controversy over pop-star Lizzo’s playing an historic flute of James Madison’s is a great illustration of the dishonesty of mainstream progressive rhetoric. It is as clear as a crystal instrument that the mainstream isn’t interested…
I saw in the Boston Globe, today, some spin blaming Donald Trump for New England’s worsening energy woes.

Generally, a president’s instructions to declassify documents are first written down in a memo,…
“Permanently enjoined” – in a methodical, 90+ page ruling, federal district court Judge William Smith has turned thumbs down on Rhode Island’s truck-only tolls, noting that they are discriminatory, that they do not “fairly approximate use of the facilities” and that they violate the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution.

… is how true believers come to the conclusion that the way to advocate for the environment is to cause an event that leads to thousands of people sitting in idling cars.
Social media is pretty humorous, today. After the Cranston library’s lawyers prevented it from cancelling the Independent Women’s Forum event last night (although it appears to have decided never to rent out rooms to any outside groups again) and police prevented disruption, the progressives are congratulating themselves on not censoring or disrupting the event. By…
If people have to bring in the police to protect themselves from you as you advocate to deprive them of their Constitutional rights, maybe they aren’t the hateful ones.
