Coddling violent criminals by allowing them to fade into a general school population is dangerous. Two kids almost paid with their lives for this nitwittery in Newport News. In Loudoun County, two girls were attacked by a sex offender.

As we see now across the commonwealth, far-left school boards vow to defy the governor’s common-sense order making masks optional in schools. They don’t care that there is almost no value to cloth masks and they don’t care that Glenn Youngkin was elected on a promise to remove the mandate.

This was the governor’s last press conference, and true to form when asked what he might have done differently during the pandemic he refused to admit any mistakes.

Sonia Sotomayor revealed herself to be something of a stumphead, either too lazy to do basic research before the hearing or gleaning all of her information from Joy Reid on MSNBC, when she talked about pediatric hospital admissions.

Vice President Kamala Harris, clearly no student of American history, compared the day angry radicals stormed the Capitol to other dates that are seared into the national memory: Pearl Harbor Day and September 11th.

As the rest of the country watched in stupefied disbelief at a clogged and frozen I-95 packed with stalled cars and trucks, Northam was resolute. The mistakes that led to the life-threatening situation weren’t his, he declared Wednesday. They were the fault of the drivers.

By the grace of God it appears no one died due to Virginia’s incomprehensible failure to plan for a January snowstorm on a chronically congested stretch of interstate south of Washington.

First mistake: Our hotel turned out to be the Baylor team headquarters. I never saw so much hideous green and gold in one place.
