They call it the “CROWN Act” because they’re making subjects of us all.

By Justin Katz | March 21, 2022 |

In a curious alignment of political machines, both the Massachusetts House and the House of Representatives in Congress independently passed their own “CROWN Acts,” which both would, as WPRI’s Kayla Fish puts it in the case of Massachusetts, “prohibit discrimination based on a person’s hair.”  Naturally, the bill is being sold in racial terms, but…

Jennifer Lima attacks Brewed Awakenings

Fascist employee of Toray Plastics pickets to deprive parents of civil rights.

By Justin Katz | March 18, 2022 |

Does the headline of this post seem unreasonable?  I can’t decide.  I wrote it to illustrate a point about the unreasonable activism of woke progressives, but as I considered whether to go with it or not, the statement began to look like a pretty straightforward description of events. The “fascist” is Jennifer Lima, who is…

A butterfly in hands

We have a real opportunity to flip the script for younger generations.

By Justin Katz | March 18, 2022 |

Whether in a fictional battle of good and evil or real-life politics, when the dark side is ascendant, we have an unfortunate tendency to ascribe to it a competence it does not have.  Sure, a cabal of elite globalists may scheme on behalf of a Great Reset, but… they’re nuts.  In the long run, their…

Trump 2024 sticker

Democrats’ complaint against Trump for announcement coyness betrays campaign finance corruption.

By Justin Katz | March 17, 2022 |

If your feelings toward Donald Trump are negative, put them aside and imagine this situation with a non-establishment presidential candidate you would support.  If your feelings toward him are positive, then just read on: American Bridge said Trump was using his Save America PAC — registered as a political committee in support of multiple candidates…

Simplistic moral panic is more dangerous to RI than white supremacists.

By Justin Katz | March 16, 2022 |

According to Jack Perry’s uncritical recitation of the Anti-Defamation League of New England’s warning about an increase in “white supremacist propaganda,” Rhode Island is seeing a dangerous increase.  By their own standards, though, the ADL and the Providence Journal are contributing to the threat.  Consider the last line of the article: “By using propaganda to spread…

John DePetro on the Ukraine-Poland border

Does the RI media know DePetro’s providing international journalism?

By Justin Katz | March 15, 2022 |

Just as he was out and about regularly reporting on Antifa/BLM protests in the Providence area, just as he was covering large protests against Governor Dan McKee’s vaccine mandate for health care worker, John DePetro has travelled to Poland and the Ukraine border to provide live, on-the-scene reportage. So many young children from Ukraine being…

Has our COVID experience opened the gate for skepticism about The Pill?

By Justin Katz | March 15, 2022 |

It’s interesting how topics bubble up in the constant flow of information in which we swim, these days.  Yesterday, I came across Martha Rosenberg’s interview with women’s health advocate Mike Gaskins, whose research has investigated the science and politics with which the birth-control pill became a cultural mainstay: Several years ago, I heard a lecture…

Tiles with abuse words

The Providence teachers union goes full DARVO.

By Justin Katz | March 15, 2022 |

The amazing thing about Sarah Doiron’s report on the staged protest of the state Department of Education by teachers union members  is that it doesn’t say why the state took control of their schools.  The audacity is nothing short of shocking: More than 100 teachers marched the streets of Providence Monday afternoon to demand the state…

Why does Brianna Henries want to make life worse for working Rhode Islanders?

By Justin Katz | March 14, 2022 |

I’ve been trying to figure out which is the case:  Either politicians have developed such thorough contempt for the people that they assume we’re complete fools whom they can deceive with impunity or we’re allowing people to gain public office whom a healthy civilization would have kept well away from the controls. The problem goes…

Governor McKee Declines to Comment about 854 Unvaccinated Health Care Workers

By Monique Chartier | March 13, 2022 |

We recently learned, deep in a Rhode Island Department of Health report, that as of last month, 854 unvaccinated healthcare workers have been permitted to continue to work without medical exemption in violation of the state’s vaccine mandate.   Major credit to Dr. Andrew Bostom for finding and publicizing this remarkable and disturbing document. Further…
