As it turns out, it appears that 300 state workers - out of 95,000, not counting all of the state college and university employees - quit. If my abacus is correct, that’s .3 percent.
NYT News Flash: Biden Is Old

We have seen considerable reporting on violent crime in Richmond, homicides in particular. There is reason for that.
While overall crime rates have remained fairly stable in Virginia since 2019, the year before social-justice protests rocked the state and nation, the homicide rate has increased alarmingly.
Richmond Cops Say A Mass Shooting Was Foiled By A Concerned Citizen
Homeland Security sprang into action and two illegal aliens from Guatemala were arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a non-citizen. One member of the duo is being held on a mere $15,000 bond. That’s crazy.
No Patient Should Ever Be Left Alone
Panicked Democrats and morons at the CDC turned America’s nursing homes, hospitals and hospice centers into lonely outposts and eventually death chambers during the the covid pandemic.
Highland Park: Red Flags Were Flying
Crimo, with his face tattoos, repeated threats of violence and YouTube videos glorifying school shootings, should have been blocked from legal gun ownership by law enforcement and his family multiple times. He wasn’t.

Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced last week that he’d support a reasonable 15-week limit on abortions in Virginia, a more liberal law than exists is almost any Western nation. Democrats, of course, prefer the KathyTran/Ralph Northam style-abortion-for-any-reason-until-the-moment-of-birth.
Human Trafficking On The Border

Roe V Wade Is Gone
