Under Patrick’s post questioning the alleged War on Women, commenter Candace McCall remarks stop pretending you don’t know this is about abortion and contraceptive rights. We’ll take them one at a time. #1, Abortion: there is nothing new this election on the issue. So this is not about abortion. #2. There is, however, a new…
Let me just say this: I’m glad the media has gotten over their (semi-justified, though hyperbolic) derision of the Gemma voter fraud presentation (and all the professional analysis claiming nothing doin’) and is looking into his claims. WPRI took the lead, but now the ProJo has some video of a man who claims to be…
We hear all about this “War on Women” that the Democrats like to claim that the Republicans are waging. First, I think these “wars” are silly. It cheapens what the word means. Comparing policy to dropping bombs on a people certainly cheapens the term. But hey, while we’re at it, can we ask why the…
I just can’t keep this one to myself anymore. At the risk of giving this campaign any more attention than it deserves, I have to point this out. I also apologize as this is a race that is only for RI Senate District 19 and not a statewide race. But this is the kind of…
I can’t confirm if this was filmed in Rhode Island or not (h/t): “I’m gonna fight for MY piece of the taxpayer pie.” “What’s a crony?” “It’s like having a best friend who gives you other people’s stuff.” “We take care of our friends.” “We get to spend taxpayer money any way we want.” “Why…
Have you been watching these RI Assembly debates put on by WPRI and hosted by Tim White? Fabulous stuff. So far, they’ve had three. The first was the battle for an East Providence seat where Roberto DaSilva is looking to oust current Senate Finance Committee Chairman Dan DaPonte. You can see the entire debate video…
I’ve had the extreme good fortune to shift careers to one that allows me time to create and stare at charts. (Sadly, yes, that’s a literal description of some of my afternoons, as well as my feelings about those afternoons.) So it’s with an especially strong “What!?” that I watched this video, via Ann Althouse, via Glenn…
While Anthony Gemma didn’t present any direct evidence of his charges of voter fraud in Rhode Island, his written remarks from yesterday assert that direct evidence does exist (h/t Edward Fitzpatrick)…The five statements I have just presented to you represent a relatively small percentage of first-hand evidence developed by TRP. Testimony from these and other…
The day previewed last week by Anthony Gemma in a somewhat hyperbolic announcement finally arrived. WPRO carried the press conference live – their follow-up report here – though they disappointingly cut away from the press conference after Gemma had finished his statement. An extensive report by WPRI, which includes reaction from various quarters, also names…
UPDATE: The original report from NBC 10’s Bill Rappleye–upon which this post was based–has been pulled from the turnto10.com website. I’ve received clarification on a number of issues I originally brought up related to this item. Statement: Eimskip is welcome to bring any amount of cargo to the Port of Davisville, at any time, beginning…
