The Wrinkling Of Washington
Yesterday, octogenarian Nancy Pelosi, 81 (she turns 82 on March 26), announced that she was seeking yet another term - her 18th - in Congress. She was born during the FDR administration.
State Sen. Chap Petersen To The Rescue?

Suddenly Democrats Don’t Like Executive Orders

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.

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.

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.
