To check in on Democrats’ understanding of our culture…

By Justin Katz | July 30, 2024 |

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…

We need to get back to a society of mutual respect…

By Justin Katz | July 29, 2024 |

… 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,…

Credit where it’s due on RI voter roll birthdays.

By Justin Katz | July 29, 2024 |

If this is true, Secretary of State Gregg Amore deserves credit for undoing at least one instance of the state Democrat Party and Nellie Gorbea’s invitation to voter fraud: RI Secretary of State Gregg Amore just corrected a wrong made by his predecessor, Nellie Gorbea. In 2017, she unilaterally changed a policy to only provide…

The spin machine’s growth in audacity is becoming exponential.

By Justin Katz | July 26, 2024 |

It’s amazing how quickly things are moving.  Watching the news media conspire with the Democrat Party literally to deny facts about Kamala Harris and disappear them from the Internet makes Martin Gurri’s two-week-old musings on the Joe Biden coverup look tame: With Biden, the establishment was presented with a difficult challenge: It was reality itself…

We have to tell the young that America just about had the racial division beat.

By Justin Katz | July 26, 2024 |

Hard to believe it was 16 years ago America elected Barack Obama to the presidency.  In office, he did, indeed, usher in a revolution in American politics and society, and 16 years is many years of people coming of age without really knowing what things were like before the event.  Cynical Publius tells the truth:…

A possible reason Democrats might actually expect Trump to be a fascist.

By Justin Katz | July 25, 2024 |

Several examples from the history of the last century — with particular clarity in the Spanish Revolution and the rise of Nationalist Francisco Franco — follow a pattern.  Communists made inroads and proved themselves to be such immoral, disruptive radicals that even fascists seemed preferable to ordinary people. Modern Democrats in the United States know…

I’m reevaluating Jorge Elorza’s in-your-face shouts at McKee.

By Justin Katz | July 25, 2024 |

When Elorza was mayor, it seemed embarrassing for him to take a public event as an opportunity to confront McKee, but his recent comments about public education in Providence, which formed the basis for the confrontation, suggest his emotions were well placed and genuine: “What we have now is a system that locks in place…

A dark fringe outlines Jillian Michaels’s refreshing honesty a out Cali craziness.

By Justin Katz | July 24, 2024 |

While the news cycle has definitely moved on from Michaels’s explanation of how crazy California has become, it’s worth pausing for an observation.  By her own admission, she is and remains progressive.  She’ll play along with a child’s gender dysphoria, for example, even if she thinks puberty blockers and schools’ lying to parents is beyond…

A belated thought on Patricia Morgan’s campaign finance problems.

By Justin Katz | July 12, 2024 |

A few weeks ago, Republican state representative and candidate for U.S. Senate, Patricia Morgan, came under the local media searchlight for some errors in campaign finance. I don’t see anything particularly suspicious in the findings, but the story does give me an opportunity to restate my thoughts on campaign finance law.  It’s just a way…

Rhode Islanders must ask deeper questions about our healthcare system.

By Justin Katz | July 12, 2024 |

I’ll start with two arising from Ian Donnis’s recent article about the state’s approval of the sale of two hospitals “to an Atlanta-based nonprofit with no experience in managing hospitals.” The first question arises from the description of the institutions as “cash-strapped safety-net hospitals.”  Rhode Island, among all states, dove right into the centralizing forces…
