My mother was unforgettable. This chain-smoking, hardworking, sarcastic bank teller - queen of the drive-in window in our little New Jersey town - provided my brother and me with a cornucopia of memories.
Former Governor George Allen likes to say that the best social program is a job. One might suggest that a corollary to this proposition is that the best way for Virginia’s public school system to advance “social justice” is giving students the skills they need to get quality jobs in the 21st century knowledge economy.
Virginia Senators Support Forced Masking Of Poor Children
So while bars, restaurants and stadiums are packed, while Washington elites gather shoulder to shoulder to celebrate themselves, and most school kids across the country are finally free of muzzles, only poor children are stuck in soggy masks all day.
CDC Tracked Millions Of Americans Using Cellphone Data
These lab-coated tyrants - who should stick to tweaking the food pyramid - used cellphone data to monitor compliance with lockdowns and curfews.
Worse, they did business with a “controversial” data collection outfit - SafeGraph - to get the information.
Cellphones are an issue in almost every high school in Virginia. School authorities remain in control at some schools. They’re struggling but at least trying to maintain control in others.
Who Leaked The Draft Opinion On Abortion?
This is clearly someone with an agenda. Perhaps the leaker hopes to gin up public hysteria in the naive belief that protests and demonstrations might change the votes of the justices who are in the majority. Or maybe the leaker wants to goose Congress into hastily passing a federal law legalizing abortion.
Your Misery Fuels The Media’s Mirth
Members of the press refer to the dinner as their “nerd prom” implying that they’re smart, nerdy people.

Biden Mounts a Direct Attack on America’s Most Successful Schools for Poor Minority Children
We have new rules for federal funding for new and expanded charter schools that are demonstrably racist. They uniquely disadvantage the poorest minority students because charter schools are proven to help them learn better than any other option.
Thursday the Biden administration announced the establishment of a federal “Disinformation Governance Board” in the Department of Homeland Security to “combat online disinformation in the 2022 midterms.”
No, Joe. They Are Not Your Kids.
Children belong to their parents. Parents don’t surrender their rights to the people paid to educate their offspring when they drop their kids off at school. Parents want to know what’s being taught in the classroom and they have a right to have a say in it.
Virginia Democrats In Disarray
Five months after Republicans regained the majority in the House of Delegates and swept the top three jobs in the commonwealth, Democratic delegates gave an unceremonious boot to the woman who had headed the party for the past two years.
Bylined Utility Puffery in Richmond Times-Dominion
Our only hope now is that the State Corporation Commission will give a big thumbs down to this $10 billion wind farm boondoggle when it votes on the project in August.
Elon Musk Buys Twitter. Left Melts Down.
Leftists are apoplectic because they thought they owned Twitter. Now that public discourse is about to get a little freer on the platform, they’re terrified.
Texas National Guardsman Disappears While Trying To Rescue Illegal Drug Traffickers
SPC Bishop E. Evans did more for his country in his 22 years on earth than Biden has done in his 79.
Presently the House and Senate are at odds over whether school salaries get a 4% or a 5% bump from the state. Those are across-the-board increases, not targeted at specific types of teacher certification that are in critical shortage. Why? Perhaps because, as I documented earlier, VDOE’s teacher shortage data are also useless.
Western Civilization went more than 2,000 years with people dividing the world between male and female. About 10 years ago, the idea gained traction in the United States that gender wasn’t based on biology — XX and XY chromosomes — but was a social construct.
Paging Dr. Fauci: Go Back To Civics Class STAT!
In Anthony Fauci’s world, the director of the CDC would have unlimited powers. She could declare an endless health emergency and issue mandate after mandate, decree after decree, acting as a modern-day, unchecked American dictator.
Florida: The Common-Sense State
As movies, TV and social media continuously glorify transgenderism it has become a fad among the young. One with dangerous long-term consequences.
The Washington Post’s Sleazy Tactics
For the past 15 years or so, as newspapers circled the drain, they offloaded experienced editors with skills and standards and replaced them with young, agenda-driven propagandists.
