One can absolutely make the case that generous time-off policies have their benefits for employers and do right by employees, but we allow Democrats like Magaziner to throw around terms like “fundamental human right” far too easily: You cannot have “an absolute human right” to be given things by other people, no matter how nice…
Well, look, Electric Boat relies hugely on government funding in Rhode Island and Washington, D.C.: Radicals in the Democrat Party will hold a lack of such policies against Electric Boat, while even the most conservative Republicans who can possibly gain decisive power in government won’t hold it against them very strongly. Barring discrimination lawsuits in…
Perusing Twitter or X (which I may henceforth call “TwiX”) often leaves me feeling panic at the state of our world and the hopelessness of recovering humanity’s footing. No doubt, this is at least partially the way it feels to have your attention manipulated, but stepping back, even that reality is just another contributor to…
I was puzzled recently when I discovered that updated registration forms had somehow not made it into two of our cars. The technician inspecting one of them told me many Rhode Islanders are accidentally throwing their registration forms out. I chuckled along with him but wondered how that would be possible. A couple days later,…
[The Roll Call speech, below, by RI GOP National Committeewoman Sue Cienki on July 15 at the RNC Convention included a description of offshore wind, “industrial vandalism of the ocean”, that was not only on point but prophetic — the very next day, Nantucket announced the closure of its beaches and the world began to…

The above pie chart speaks for itself. Rhode Island’s greenhouse gas emissions are so small, they barely register on the chart. That Rhode Island, the smallest state in the country and, on top of that, one with a poor business climate that has further driven down its carbon footprint [because that’s the highest priority, right?…
In 2021, the Rhode Island General Assembly passed and Governor Dan McKee signed a law that mandates for the state net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. What this would mean in real terms is, no more fossil fuels for Rhode Island. No gas or diesel to power our vehicles. No heating oil, natural gas…
The Democrats’ appointed Presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, kicked off a universal trend among Democrats to call straight, married men “weird,” while Transportation Secretary Peter Buttigieg, who is homosexual, told a call full of racially segregated white men that abortion makes life better for men, too. See, that way, we don’t have to worry our sex…
… but it’ll require a turn away from progressives’ insistence that everything must be politics. This clip of Eric Weinstein and Nicole Shanahan discussing the “mind control at scale” we’re seeing at the national level is worth the four minutes of your time. It’s not only that our system has been coopted by the gaslighters,…
