Mike Menard: A Mother’s Day letter

/by

The science of childhood trauma has taught me something I did not learn in thirty years of corporate engineering. A child’s brain is not built by genes alone. It is built by the people who hold it. Every time a mother soothes a crying infant, she is wiring an amygdala that will not fire in panic for the rest of that child’s life. Every time she names what her child is feeling, she is building a prefrontal cortex that will one day be able to regulate emotion under stress. Every time she stays present through a tantrum instead of withdrawing, she is teaching a nervous system that the world is safe.

​​STEN REACTS: THE LEFT’S UNHINGED INCIVILITY ON FULL DISPLAY IN PROVIDENCE MURAL CONTROVERSY

/by

Artist Ian Gaudreau, a RISD-trained muralist known for community storytelling rather than politics, was painting a portrait of Iryna Zarutska—the young Ukrainian refugee brutally stabbed to death on a Charlotte light-rail train in 2025.

Yet, when Gaudreau started the mural on a private wall at The Dark Lady nightclub in PVD, the outrage machine kicked in … not over the murder, but over the funding ties to Elon Musk and other donors. Protests erupted, the mayor called it “divisive,” owners caved and ripped it down unfinished, and the artist had to relocate to Federal Hill at Opa Restaurant.
