Dad was generous to a fault with his family and friends, but pinched pennies in unlikely places. He cheerfully paid his taxes, lavished gifts on all of us, donated heavily to charity, but hated road tolls.
What Hath Wokeness Wrought?
The surge in homicides in Virginia continued unabated for the third straight year in 2022, with number of deaths from homicide and non-negligent manslaughter reaching 621.
Light Rail: Idiotic Idea In 2016. Idiotic Idea Now.
Virginia Beach voters THOUGHT they drove a stake through the heart of an absurd plan to bring light rail to the city after a landslide vote against the nutty, developer-driven boondoggle.
I Am Not A Non-Man
What is it with wokesters that makes them so determined to erase women?
Virginia Beach School Board Holds Virtue-Signaling Vote At 2:15 a.m.
No public body ought to be voting on anything after midnight. It violates the spirit - if not the letter - of Virginia’s open meeting laws. They’re called “Sunshine Laws” for a reason.
The White House Is Not A Billboard
I don’t know which knucklehead first started bathing the White House in multicolored lights to honor various causes, but it cheapens the mansion owned by the people. At times, it’s deeply divisive.
Indicted: Donald Trump
Biden was also caught with classified materials - decades worth - in his garage even while his degenerate son was living in the house. Selective prosecution? Hell, yes!
Is there anything better than being subjected to someone else’s vacation photos? Of course there is, but we promised you that there would be no days off at kerrydougherty.com and that when we went out of town we’d take you with us.
Virginia’s Air Pollution Control Board voted Wednesday to remove Virginia from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, keeping Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin’s promise to eliminate the related carbon tax that has been imposed on electricity ratepayers under RGGI since January 2021.
Pat Robertson, 1930-2023
When I encountered Pat Robertson on several occasions he was kind, soft-spoken and attentive, giving no sign that he knew or cared where I worked. You see, his stage was far bigger than the local or even the national media. His Christian Broadcasting Network has a global reach.
Air Quality Unhealthy? Meh. I’ve Breathed Worse.
“Roll up the windows kids,” my dad would joke. “You’re letting the smoke out.”
Political Correctness More Important Than Accuracy In News Reports Of Slaying
If this suspect is convicted of murder, it will be another case of a son killing his father.
Not a daughter. No matter what the newspaper says.
“What is a Woman.” Watch it.
This documentary would be hilarious, if leftists weren’t peddling this poison to children.
Thanks, Loudoun County! We Needed That.
Spence is not stupid, just incredibly woke. No doubt he realized that after last year’s school board elections he was exactly one vote away from being sacked. Why not take a high-paying job in a Virginia district where he’ll no doubt look terrific compared to the last guy who was fired and is under a criminal indictment
Last week, Gov. Glenn Youngkin joined six other state governors in a trend that began last year when he announced that the Old Dominion will no longer require college degrees for nearly 90 percent of state government jobs.
Responding to a Youngkin administration request for Virginia’s public colleges and universities to curb tuition increases, the University of Virginia Board of Visitors voted this morning to reduce a scheduled 3.7% tuition hike next year to 3.0%.
Infrequent Traveler
Like many infrequent travelers, I overpack. Six days out of town? To a city where the spring weather seems unstable: warm one minute, cold the next with the possibility of rain every day? I need a steamer trunk. And a Sherpa to carry it.
Whew. Debt Ceiling Brinksmanship Ends With An Agreement.
Looks like 165 Democrats voted for the bill, joined by 149 Republicans, including Rep. Jim Jordan and Marjorie Taylor Greene, two conservative firebrands who might have been expected to join the 71 ultra-conservatives who voted against the agreement.
Debt-Ceiling Agreement: Vote YES And Call It A Win
Elections have consequences and face it, the left lost the House and the right lost the Senate. As a result, both parties have to compromise or wreck the country through brinksmanship and stalemate.
