The stay-at-home orders prompted by the COVID-19 epidemic accelerated a trend that was already reshaping the American economy: the shift of commerce from bricks-and-mortar retail to online delivery.
Richmond’s “Numbnuts” Cripple Busch Gardens

Up Next: School Bus Crisis.
Wait a minute. A large school bus that’s normally jammed with kids, three-to-a-seat, will be able to carry just 13 passengers?

Win or lose, State Sen. Chap Petersen should be applauded for understanding the gravity of what Northam has done and the extent of the damage it wrought on ordinary Virginians. Challenging the governor’s authoritarian acts takes courage.
WHO: Medical Doctors and Spin Doctors
Seems the specter of Typhoid Marys roaming the world - unmasked - infecting everyone with Covid-19 and killing countless grandmas was, well, the stuff of fiction.
Kids Need To Be In Class This Fall
If history is any predictor, Northam will slow-walk the reopening of schools just as he’s slow-walked the reopening of the commonwealth. I hope I’m wrong.
