Democrats on the March
A look at different forms of voting by age group and party suggests there are, indeed, issues worth watching.
John DePetro and Justin Katz review local and national reactions to the shooting in Minneapolis and other stories.
The details have become clearer about the incident in Minneapolis since John posted this on Wednesday, but the important point remains: Despite the Democrat monopoly in our state, Rhode Island has avoided the worst of the craziness progressives have pursued around the country. Maybe the reason is like the old cliché that mob neighborhoods tended…
Here’s a simple truth: you get more of what you celebrate. It’s almost hard to believe, but when Antonia Noori Farzan’s Providence Journal article carries the headline, “Resolution honoring woman killed by ICE draws controversy in RI Senate,” the controversy isn’t that the Senate reflexively honored somebody from another state based on a dishonest summary…

A few days ago, Ethan Logue and Raymond Baccari reported on the small pro-Maduro protest in Providence: Dozens of protestors gathered outside of a federal courthouse in Providence Saturday to protest military action by the United States in Venezuela and the capture of Nicolás Maduro, the country’s president. Who would leap to action in the…
CJ Mitchell draws this summary of the circumstances of the Brown investigation from a Jesse Waters clip: – Brown’s head of campus security was fired from his last job for not having the proper credentials. – Brown’s President may have removed security cameras from the campus at the behest of Palestinian activists. – Providence’s City…
I don’t want to be overly critical. The following quotation from the leadership of the Rhode Island Senate is generally harmless and, I’m sure, well intentioned.
