Among all the monkeys on the mountain, there’s always one kind-hearted monkey looking out for the others.

My TDS addled colleagues passed a bill last night to prohibit RI from participating. This is a group of Democrats that inject "free Federal $" into their veins as a life-blood for their bloated programs - but let students have access to "free $" - NOPE, ORANGE MAN BAD.

I think of how my Dem colleagues invoked this woman as a victim during a House debate last week on a bill that will ironically allow people like her to use the words of others that "annoy" or "harass" them to file criminal charges against the person whose words they didn't like.

This article was written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspecitve..👍🏽 My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us! I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around. I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it. Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought. We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!! Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ?? Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity." Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in. When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided. My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress. Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country. People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism. Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism. We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

"Democrat supported Nazi, hater of America, and domestic abuser easily won..." Fixed it for ya...

It should stay dead. It was a manifestation of TDS at its finest. There is literally zero impediment to any person in RI voting. In fact, it's so easy now, one never has to take their pajamas off and leave their house in order to vote.

BREAKING: Dozens of Christians were massacred in Ethiopia over the course of the last week by Islamists. Tens of thousands of Christians have been slaughtered by Islamists across Africa, and the world doesn’t seem to care.

Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas founder, triggered absolute hysteria among pro-Palestinian students at Oxford — simply by telling the truth about his father’s terrorist organization.

Commentary in Globe Rhode Island by House Minority Leader @MikeWChip and Paige Parks, executive director of @RIKidsCount: The goal of public assistance should never be permanent dependence. It should be stability, employability, and a path forward. If we are serious about helping families move out of poverty, Rhode Island needs to build better offramps from public assistance. Changes proposed to the Rhode Island Works Program (House bill 7690) are a small but important step in that direction. Under current law, when a family receives Rhode Island Works assistance and child support is collected from the noncustodial parent, the family receives only a limited pass-through amount. The state may retain the rest to offset the cost of assistance. We understand the state’s argument. Taxpayers are helping support the household, and there is a legitimate interest in making sure public dollars are used responsibly. But there is something fundamentally wrong with a system that says a family is poor enough to need help, then captures part of the child support paid for that child. Child support is not state revenue. It is not an agency funding stream. It is not a budgetary convenience. It is money paid by a parent to support his or her child.

Today's Democrats: "I don't support an Israeli tattoo because I don't support genocide, but Nazi tattoos are fine..." clearly she must have heard the news about European Jews in the mid 20th century, right? Right????

Other than state ed funding in the budget, the only significant focus on K-12 education policy at the General Assembly this year appears to be making sure that economically disadvantaged students cannot escape their underperforming district schools.

2018. This is the kind of rage Democrats expressed over the uncorroborated allegations against Kavanaugh by Blasey Ford. Elizabeth Warren has endorsed Platner. What now, Liz?

New: commentary in the @RICurrent from RIPEC's @MichaelPDiBiase and Jeffery S Hamill: Rhode Island’s housing policy needs fundamental changes to produce real returns on investment rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/…

It's not retribution - it's pragmatism. McKee only stumbled upon it through poll-testing, but nonetheless, we need zealots replaced with serious people.

If RI wants "Affordable Housing" - in needs to make housing affordable, and we aren't. facebook.com/share/p/1EPpEUo… washingtonexaminer.com/opini…

Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting that the Democratic Party has made this terrorist its nominee for congress. The GOP has a lot of issues but the Democratic Party has gone completely off the rails.

1/ Rhode Island just gave us another case study in why government-financed housing projects often fail. The Ocean state spent $52.2 million to produce just 200 rental units. I explain more in my latest for the @dcexaminer: washingtonexaminer.com/opini…

Ha!

"The report argued that while funding levels have increased, policy design has not consistently translated investment into scale and calls for shifting more resources toward maximizing unit production." 📰 Read more on our recent housing report in PBN: bit.ly/4wSCQPH

This is a pure propaganda headline. It normalizes a coordinated, violent, well-funded assault on the US government as merely an exercise of the First Amendment.
