In a stark warning sign for Democrats, a new poll shows the likely Republican nominee for a Rhode Island congressional seat leading his potential Democratic rivals in a state that gave President Joe Biden one of his higher margins of victory in 2020. A poll of 423 likely voters in Rhode Island’s newly redrawn 2nd Congressional District showed Allan Fung, a former mayor of Cranston and the heavy favorite in the GOP primary, leading all of his potential Democratic rivals in the general election by wide margins. His closest challenger, state Treasurer Seth Magaziner, received 39% of support to Fung’s

It's a too early to celebrate, but Biden won Little Rhody by 20 points.

Let's not get overconfident. The media and Dems are going to go all crazy, calling all Republicans anti-women, pro-gun killers, philatelists, whatever. The wise Republicans are going to respond to those attacks with "Have you no shame?" (The answer, of course, is Yes, they have No Shame). Mr. Fung would be wise to continue to run like he's 10 points behind. With Dem vote shenanigans, it's probably a safe play anyways.

There are no 'fair weather' Democrat friends in Rhode Island. 400 people is very small sample. Democrat voters were over the moon in happiness voting for Joe Biden and his supporting cast. That will not change because Democrats, especially Black Democrats in Providence are still giddy with excitement about Biden and tickled pink over the rise in the price of gasoline so as to combat global warming. To them, high food prices and inflation is a just small setback to a Rhode Island version of a socialist utopia. They love Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Wasn't he that Candid Camera guy from back in the sixties? When New England states begin to go red, Biden really needs to begin to worry, if he still understands the difference between blue and red.

Well, sounds good. But somehow, in the back of my mind, I am betting that a "Rhode Island Republican" is pretty much the same as a Kansas Democrat. But, if he helps kick Nutty, Nasty, Nancy to the curb, a hearty "Welcome!" is my greeting.

Cops say that strangers have been sending “harassing packages” to a home formerly inhabited by a noted native New Jerseyan who led the Supreme Court’s conservative majority in overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey late last week. In an effort to “hopefully put an end to this [harassing] activity,” the West Caldwell Police Department said Sunday — two days after the landmark ruling overturning abortion rights — that people have been sending “harassing packages” to a residence that Justice Samuel Alito used to own and hasn’t lived in more than a decade.

Plenty of tech companies have moved their headquarters out of the Bay Area in recent years, from startups like Coinbase to industry pioneers like Hewlett Packard and Oracle. Elon Musk has been one particularly outspoken voice decrying California’s business conditions. Now, one of the East Bay’s legacy companies is joining the trend. Chevron announced it is shuttering its San Ramon global headquarters and even encouraging some employees to move to Houston, the Wall Street Journal reported. The oil company will cover relocation costs for those voluntarily leaving for the Texas office, which has been growing and employs nearly 6,000 people.

MINNEAPOLIS - Former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor was released from prison on Monday morning after serving just over three years for the death of 911 caller Justine Damond Ruszczyk. Noor shot and killed Justine Ruszczyk Damond in July 2017 after she had called police to report a possible sexual assault behind her home. When Damond approached the squad in the alleyway near her home, Noor shot across his partner, killing the 40-year-old Australian woman. During his trial, Noor said he had feared an ambush. He was initially convicted of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in Damond’s death and sentenced

Social media users have criticized former President Barack Obama for not passing legislation to codify abortion rights into federal following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn two landmark abortion rulings. Obama, a Democrat who served as president from 2009 to 2017, took to Twitter on Friday in response to the Court's decision to overturn 1973's Roe v. Wade and 1992's Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which had found a woman's right to abortion was constitutionally protected. (Snip) "The Dems refused to Codify Roe even when they had the power to," wrote screenwriter Thomas Cunningham.

Schoolteachers at an Oregon elementary school claim that eye-rolling directed at the principal is a form of aggression 'rooted in white supremacy.' BIPOC teachers at Errol Hassell Elementary school sent an email to school administrators on May 27 after hearing that their principal, Cynthia Lam Moffett, may be removed from her position, Fox News reports. BIPOC stands for black, indigenous, and people of color. "We believe that much of the resistance to Principal Moffett’s work… is a result of bias and targeted aggression.

A new front in tensions between Russia and NATO has opened up after one of the Western military alliance’s members, Lithuania, banned the transit of some goods coming from Russia to its exclave Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea.

In case you were too busy caring about things that actually matter to notice, the January 6th committee is back in session. That came after its members announced an “emergency” hearing for Tuesday, including the inclusion of a “surprise” witness. Now, you’d think going through such pomp and circumstance meant they came across some damning new evidence proving their assertion that Donald Trump organized an insurrection. But if you thought that, you thought wrong. Rather, Tuesday’s hearing was another ridiculous parade of absurdity, full of hearsay and no hard evidence of essentially anything. Yet, one claim by a woman named Cassidy Hutchinson, a former Mark Meadows aide, truly took the cake.

t just got easier to get into the Army. Now aspiring soldiers without graduations under their belts can still hang government-issued Sig Sauer M17s from them. Military.com reports that the U.S. Army is dropping its requirement for enlistees to possess either a high school diploma or GED certificate. This comes, per the outlet, amid an “escalating recruiting crisis.” On Thursday, the service announced that individuals may enlist without those previously required education certifications if they ship to basic training this fiscal year, which ends Oct. 1. To be clear, entrants still have to take a test: Recruits must also be at least 18 years old and otherwise qualify for a job in the active-duty Army.
