Gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe calls the outcry over Critical Race Theory in Virginia public schools as a “right-wing conspiracy.” Governor Ralph Northam terms it “a dog whistle that Republicans are using to frighten people.”
Mt. Fogmore Becomes Mt. Rushmore
We dissolved into uncontrollable laughter. It was both unthinkable and just our luck. Seems we’d driven hundreds of miles only to arrive at Mt. Fogmore. The entire mountain was engulfed in a cloud.
Yellowstone: Spectacular. Even In The Rain
We waited in a chilling rain for Old Faithful who was “expected” to erupt at 11:11 am but kept the crowd waiting for 15 minutes. Totally worth it. I’ve seen this before, but it never fails to take my breath away
Loving That 80 MPH Speed Limit: Nevada to Montana In A Day
Smoke from wildfires has been our constant companion for almost the entire trip.
Road Trip: Monterey to Virginia Beach
The first semi-decent hotel we stopped at in this seedy town was full. The desk clerk volunteered that we should skip most of the other fleabags, so we’re staying in a respectable place that costs as much as an oceanfront hotel in Virginia Beach and where bags of garbage serve as air fresheners in the hallways.
Virginia Beach and Afghanistan
It was never a Navy war.
But in this Navy town, it was brought literally home to us again and again. We are home to nearly half of the Navy SEALs, including SEAL Team 6.
An Energy Reform Agenda for Virginia
What should Virginia’s energy policy be? What should the next Governor and General Assembly do? What should candidates be promising?
Solar Industry Poll Favors (Surprise) Solar Industry
The solar industry and others who are going to get rich off the VCEA renewable energy boom are very worried about this becoming an election issue before November 2. The real purpose of this poll is to discourage anybody from going there, to create an impression opinions are set, that real conservatives are all in.
Northam Orders Masks On Faces Of Virginia Students
Once Northam got a taste of one-man rule though it was hard to let it go. Yesterday he pretended that a new law that was intended to get schools open five days a week gave him no choice by the issue a sweeping mask mandate for all school children in grades K-12.
Liberals Have Always Had A Nasty Authoritarian Streak
Objectivity in the mainstream media is dead. Increasingly, they censor and mock opinions that are not government-approved.
The Fall Of The House Of Cuomo
You don’t really think the most arrogant governor in America, a man who saw himself as some sort of Albany love machine, suddenly became humble and quit out of concern for New York, do you?
Time To Rein In America’s Governors
I’ve discovered the one good thing to come out of our national Covid nightmare: a horrifying awareness that we’ve given our governor too much power.
America Is Tired Of Elitism
How dare anyone criticize the unknown number of guests who found their way onto the Obamas’ $12 million Martha’s Vineyard estate on Saturday! These were “sophisticated people”. The sort that are too smart and urbane to catch or spread viruses.
The Craziness Chronicles: Woke Kindergarten, Marijuana Candy and the Therapeutic State
Documenting Virginia’s steady descent into madness…
Coming to Virginia – a New State of Emergency?
The Governor’s 15-month emergency powers expired June 30, and, God, does he miss them.
SCOTUS: Give Rochelle Walensky Something To Cry About
Ownership of private property is one of the foundations of our constitutional republic . When the government decides it can essentially negate leases and allow squatters to live rent-free in dwellings owned by others we’ve crossed into dangerous territory.
Will Andrew Cuomo Pull A Ralph Northam?
Northam has provided a roadmap for disgraced Democrats with enormous egos who want to cling to power.
Panhandling Politicos Hobnob With Richmond Lobbyists
This is one irony-impaired bunch of knuckleheads.
The Bear Truth About That Massachusetts Outbreak
Let me ask you something: Do you slow dance in the supermarket? Do you engage in deep kissing in your hair salon? Do you ever find yourself nuzzling strangers in a big box store?
