You don’t erase racism by judging everything by race. You don’t build a community by separating people over their differences.
Biden Administration: Deeply Unserious
Our commander-in-chief claims - or did until this week - that global warming was our greatest threat to national security. Ahem.
Media Spin Doctors Can’t Rescue Biden From Latest Mess
Nice try, CBS. Even Pravda would be envious of your ability to nimbly trot out the party line.
College Professor To White Males: Shut Up
This is a state university. Ana Candela’s behavior amounted to illegal state-sanctioned discrimination and a denial of equal protection. If those privileged white boys in Candela’s class decided to file a federal civil rights lawsuit, the school would lose.
Then again, what white male would consider taking one of her classes?
Chicanery At The CDC
The CDC gets $15.4 billion a year from taxpayers. They owe America full and complete information. The public has a right to know the truth about the effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccines. And the prevalence of serious side effects.
It’s George Washington’s Birthday. Not Presidents’ Day.

It’s time to roll back the commercial air travel mask mandate.
P.J. O'Rourke 1947-2022
I interviewed P.J. O’Rourke in 2010 when he was giving a speech at The Founders Inn in Virginia Beach. He was witty - of course - and warm. And relieved that Pat Robertson apparently hadn’t read his books.
Warren Harris: From Economic Development Director To Embezzler.
While the taxpaying schlumps of Virginia Beach were going to work every day and dutifully paying their taxes, Director of Economic Development Warren Harris, was jetting off to see the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain, on the taxpayers’ dime.
Now Governor Glenn Youngkin is pinning his hopes for promoting school choice upon the idea of laboratory schools — K-12 academies developed in partnership with colleges and universities.
It caused a brouhaha last year when U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland assigned the FBI to look into threats of violence against local school officials by parents protesting woke school policies.
"Safe Smoking Kit": An Oxymoron
There is no safe way to smoke crack or meth. Those drugs turn the users into hollow-eyed zombies who eventually die. Giving them Chapstick and alcohol swabs isn’t going to get them out of their death spiral.
Democratic Flip-Floppers: Voted Yes Before They Voted No.
Which Dems stayed strong? Chap Petersen, of course, the driver behind this move to end mask mandates. Joined by Lynwood Lewis and Joe Morrissey.
