How Should Rhode Island Respond to the Great Barrington ‘Awokening’?
In recent years, the woke left has taken control in the affluent small town of Barrington, Rhode Island, dominating the seats of power on both the town council and the school committee, secretly and defiantly imposing its radical and divisive agenda upon its own taxpayers, veteran groups, students, and teachers.

Americans are now entering uncharted, revolutionary territory. They may witness things over the next five months that once would have seemed unimaginable.

Sorry, Leftists, Medieval England Wasn’t Black
“Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.” While it’s almost become cliché at this point to refer to the radical left’s antics using the language of George Orwell’s “1984,” the left’s ongoing assault against honest and accurate history makes Orwell’s tale look quaint in comparison. A recent example… -

In This Case, Supreme Court Rejects Damages for ‘Emotional Distress.’ That’s Good.
The leak of a draft opinion in a major abortion case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, has swallowed much of the news cycle on the Supreme Court lately.
