Enforced use of the term, “Latinx,” is exactly the cultural imperialism that progressives claim to oppose. As usual, they only actually oppose the forced spread of ideas that don’t jibe with their own beliefs. Just look at how Marisa Penaloza writes about a Pew Research Center survey finding “only 3% [of Latinos] say they use…
Interestingly, Dr. Michael Fine is against non-vaccination shaming, mainly because he isn’t very confident in the vaccines we have against COVID. One gets the impression, however, that he makes that concession in order to promote his real goal: If everyone stops going to bars and restaurants TODAY, and stops shopping TODAY, we’ll see a drop…
Kelly O’Neill reports for WJAR that the Salvation Army is 11% behind on donations in Rhode Island and 30% in New Bedford. Whether the percentages are “behind the goal” or “behind last year” isn’t clear, but it amounts to tens of thousands of dollars in this area.

I’m honestly baffled that a coalition of “open government organizations” would call on Democrat Governor Dan McKee to reinstate executive orders allowing government bodies to meet remotely again: We therefore once again strongly urge you to reinstate your earlier executive orders so as to permit public bodies to meet virtually and thereby allow the public…
This isn’t exactly a difficult political opportunity to identify, but it’s fun to wonder whether somebody on Seth Magaziner’s campaign team listened to my weekly segment with John DePetro, yesterday: We must address the dangerous hospital staffing shortage that has created a state of crisis in emergency rooms and other care delivery facilities across the…
I was perfectly comfortable receiving the Pfizer vaccine against COVID. I investigated how they work and reviewed the numbers, and decided it made sense. Since I wrote that post in May, however, public health authorities and those who’ve put them on a pedestal have continued to sound like pitchmen rather than scientists, which has made…
