The common threads in this “game” for all children, that privilege at birth is destiny and that personal responsibility and effort play only minor roles in success, are as devastatingly false and hurtful as anything one can tell a kid.
The Great Unmasking Is Underway
In a stunning move, the left-leaning Virginia Beach School Board voted 9-2 to allow parents to opt their children out of its mask mandate beginning on Monday. In a weird sleight-of-hand the board followed the recommendation of Superintendent Aaron Spence to keep its mandate in place, while allowing parents to decide if their kids should wear masks for seven hours a day.
Hey, Joe: Your Lollipops Won’t Work
After two years of lying to the public about the efficacy of cloth masks the CDC admitted last week that they aren’t effective against Covid-19. So the Biden administration tapped the U.S. strategic supply of PPE to make 400 million N95 masks available at pharmacies and health centers.
Enough to protect every American for a full day!
AG Jason Miyares And Safe Schools
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.
School Board Bullies
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.
With Youngkin Administration Virginia Becomes A Free State
If parents want their kids muzzled in cloth masks or N95s, no problem. It shouldn’t bother them if other parents want their kids to be able to breathe all day. It’s all about parental rights. That’s what we voted for in November.
A teenager at John Rolfe Middle School in Henrico County seta fellow student’s hair afire with a lighter. The boy is at VCU Medical Center suffering from second- and third-degree burns.
There are some 4,000 gas station owners in Virginia. Herring’s enforcement actions clearly had a “disparate impact” against small business owners of Asian extraction.
Youngkin’s campaign rhetoric wasn’t just campaign rhetoric. He’s not recruiting retreads from the Virginia public school system.
No More "Medical Bandwagon Thinking" For Virginia
The most exciting member of Youngkin’s team is Dr. Marty Makary, a surgeon and public policy researcher at Johns Hopkins University. He’s agreed to chair Youngkin’s Covid advisory team.
Northam Solves Mystery Of The Man In Blackface
Northam knows who it is and it 99% sure it isn’t him. But there’s that 1% chance…
Northam’s Final Presser: No Remorse
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.
Lefties On The Supreme Court: Lazy, Dumb Or Liars?
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.
Youngkin, UVa COVID Policy on a Collision Course
The debate over COVID-19 policy rages unabated. Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin and Attorney General-elect Jason Miyares announced today their intention to challenge Biden-administration vaccine mandates through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, OSHA, and Head Start.
Chronic Complainers Notch Big Win Against Landlords
The parties agreed to a settlement in which the Hairstons paid the tenant $60,000 as compensation, donated $1,500 to the nonprofit Action in Community Through Service, and, as a condition of staying landlords, committed to attending fair housing training sessions for three years.
Kamala Harris Needs A History Lesson
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.
Northam Apologize? LOL.
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.
Northam’s Frozen Failure
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.
