Sad reports this morning as the parents of Charlie Gard have exhausted all legal measures, it now being too late for experimental treatment.
That’s a clear message – Trump supporters want Republicans they elected to support the President.
Some absolutely shocking (but not surprising) hate is being directed at Rep. Barbara Comstock’s House Resolution 257 — and from predictable quarters.
Are the Potomac Nationals coming to Fredericksburg? Depends on whether EDA funds available to everyone else will be available to Minor League Baseball.
For a staircase that originally billed to be $65,000? A cost reduction to the much more reasonable price tag of $10,000 is a win for the taxpayer indeed.
If you missed the Virginia Bar Association Debate, don’t worry — it was an exhibition in precisely why Ralph Northam is avoiding debates, courtesy of Ed Gillespie’s sharp right jabs on the economy and small business growth:
“Let me say it again: 20 cents of every dollar is a direct federal dollar on our economy from the federal government. In Hampton Roads, it’s a lot more than that… we can’t just count on Washington D.C. to solve our problems for us. I have policies to get Virginia growing again, to address the challenges we face, a 10% across the board cut in our individual income tax rates. That would create more than 53,000 full-time, private sector, good paying jobs in the Commonwealth of Virginia. That’s a 25% increase over what we project right now. We need those jobs, we need those opportunities, we need to — in Virginia — enact policies to change the stagnation that we have suffered under during the lieutenant governor’s time in office.”
— Republican gubernatorial nominee Ed Gillespie
Virginia Bar Association Debate
22 July 2017
For other highlights during the Gillespie/Northam VBA debate, see below.
No question that Gillespie carried the debate handily. Northam pivoted to a series of divisive social issues and reckless economic policies, while Gillespie deftly handled questions about President Trump while focusing relentlessly on what he intends to achieve as governor: small business growth and the economy being front and center.
Guess who supports a $15/hr living wage?
Sean Spicer out; Anthony Scaramucci in as White House press secretary.
Ed Gillespie isn’t shying away from public speaking engagements, even if Ralph Northam seems to be taking every opportunity to dodge the same.
Comstock gets $70 million to fight back against MS-013 over a five-year period, with 20% going to already established anti-gang task forces.
