Rhode Island Governor Daniel McKee is about to sign into law the “Let RI Vote Act” … which, tragically, is based on two BIG LIES. You know what the original BIG LIE is, right? According to the mainstream media and anti-Trump politicians, the BIG LIE is the ostensibly false notion pushed by former President Trump […]

(updated 2:35pm May 19) Only one of the five (5) major announced candidates for Governor of Rhode Island has responded to The Ocean State Current’s request for a statement about the “Protect Our Kids” legislation – S2219 and H8230 … whether in support, opposition, or other position. Kalus’ statement was brief, but to the point: […]

Fired lab technician questions LifeSpan’s role in forming RIs healthcare worker vaccine mandate and “disingenuous” approach towards its own employees.
What are we doing to our children? The leaked news that the Supreme Court may be about to overturn its controversial 1973 Roe v. Wade decision has sent political shock waves across America. It’s also given new life to the left’s faux trope about “the right’s war on women.” But if we take a step back and take an […]
When Dr. Stephen Skoly refused to comply with the the state’s healthcare worker Covid-19 vaccine mandate and dared to speak out against it, Governor Daniel McKee and RIDOH shut down his oral maxillofacial surgery practice.
Dr. Skoly has naturally acquired immunity to Covid, having recovered from infection, and took all necessary safety procedures to protect his patients.
He has a history of Bell’s Palsy facial paralysis and risked a recurrence if vaccinated, a known side effect of the vaccine.
On Dr. Skoly’s behalf, NCLA filed a lawsuit against Governor Daniel McKee and Dr. James McDonald, RIDOH’s Interim Director, to force Rhode Island to permit Dr. Skoly to resume practice.
In March 2022, after over five months of his office being shutdown, the state relented and Doc Skoly was allowed to return to his work.
Dr. Stephen Skoly, the oral surgeon whose medical practice was unconstitutionally shuttered by the Rhode Island Department of Health because for medical reasons he decided not to comply with the state’s healthcare worker vaccine mandate, has been named as the 2022 recipient of the Dr. A James Kershaw Award by the RI Dental Association.
Parental outcry killed a bill that would have mandated universal Covid vaccination, with monthly fines and doubled income tax as punishment
Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the political supremacists in seats of power cavalierly issued their edicts and their mandates, while the mainstream media cheered them on. Across America, the Big Media and their Big Tech and Big Biz allies have served as the official “hit men” for the Big Covid cabal.

The CDC’s house organ publication Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports (MMWR) released nationally representative surveillance data that fully 74-75% of children aged <1 to 17 years old had antibodies to the nucleocapsid protein of SARSCOV2 as of February 2022. These findings, in lay terms, mean that three-fourths of U.S. children and adolescents through age 17 had naturally-acquired immunity to covid-19, by February 2022, conferring them with a protection which is more broad and enduring than covid-19 vaccine-acquired immunity.
Wednesday evening’s special school committee meeting in North Kingstown had a single agenda item – to select a consulting firm to make a recommendation on the hiring of a new school superintendent. However, during the open comments period, two residents blasted the school committee for being the cause of the many legal, financial, and community […]
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 their radical and divisive agenda upon their own taxpayers, veteran groups, students, and teachers. The disdain these […]
What was lacking above all during the COVID-19 pandemic was accurate, complete information about the disease. Too many of our public officials, amplified too often by an unquestioning media, spoke only of the deaths, hospitalizations and case count of the disease, giving the strong impression that COVID-19 had a fatality rate worse than the Bubonic […]
The relentless legal pressure applied by attorney Gregory Piccirilli, representing dozens of Parents Union plaintiffs, is producing major dividends, despite efforts by the McKee administration and the RI Department of Health to quash their lawsuit actions. In the original Southwell v McKee school mask mandate lawsuit brought by the Parents Union plaintiffs, the State of […]

Ashley Kalus’ announcement of her candidacy for governor of Rhode Island as the Republican “fighter Rhode Island needs right now,” included this unusual validating claim: “Ashley Kalus is a Golden Gloves boxing champion.” Skeptical of all politicians, I sought to confirm Ms. Kalus’ assertion.
By Stephen Moore For many years now, there has been a spirited debate about whether climate change is science, religion or even perhaps a secret route to socialism. That question remains unanswered, but we’ve now discovered with certainty that climate change is a political albatross around the neck of the Democratic Party. The Left’s spiritual […]
“Now, however, Care New England and the State have turned their backs on the heroes of yesterday.” “There is no science or medicine that could possibly justify such gratuitous vindictiveness.” I would like to tell my story of what happened to me during “mandate mania”. Too few people are aware of the unfortunate lengths to […]
Lawsuit is not “moot”. Dr Stephen Skoly may have won a significant battle last week in his fight to continue providing critical surgical care to his patients, but the larger legal war is not over. Even though the RIDOH finally relented and removed its October 1 compliance order that banned him from seeing patients in […]

Ocean State motorists dodged a bullet last December when the TCI Gas Tax was defeated here and in 13 other northeast states. The “Transportation and Climate Initiative (TCI)” would have artificially increased gasoline prices by up to 35 cents per gallon, while steadily reducing available fuel supplies, by ceding a major portion of our state’s […]

The Ocean State Current has obtained images of emails and what appears to be an internally dispersed document from the RI Department Of Corrections (RIDOC) throughout their facilities to notify staff that access privileges of one Dr. Stephen Skoly have been revoked.
The rule changes proposed last week by the RI Department of Health (RIDOH) are nothing but a blatant power grab, even as state health officials hail it as a major step towards returning our state to normal. Technically, the recommended provisions would amend R.I. Gen. Laws Chapter 23-17 and § 23-17.7.1 to make permanent new […]
Can’t be said these days that Congress – or politics – is dull or irrelevant to daily life.
