A cash infusion for Virginia’s community colleges is a start… but when linked to workforce development and microfinance? It’s a solution.

At the moment, Riggleman is running with all the confidence of an accomplished incumbent.
Republicans stalwart Denver Riggleman is wasting no time taking the fight to the Democrats, up with a new advertisement this week defending the “Trump tax cuts” in the face of insistence by Leslie Cockburn and her allies in Washington that not only will they be reversed but potentially increased.
From the advertisement:
“Leslie wants to repeal the recent tax cut. Leslie’s plan would cost the average family another $1,600 in tax…”
Riggleman seems to be drawing the line firm in the sand, with Cockburn holding a firm to progressive orthodoxy that might play well in Northern Virginia and Charlottesville, but not so well in places like Buckingham and Danville. From the Cavalier Daily:
Cockburn vowed throughout the debate to stand up against President Donald Trump’s agenda by pushing democratic policies, while Riggleman promised to work with the president and demonstrate a willingness to show bipartisanship when needed.
At the moment, it is Riggleman who — after what could only be characterized as a special election event — is running with all the confidence of an accomplished incumbent. Cockburn’s haphazard campaign in contrast is still reeling from criticism of her anti-Israeli book and failure to connect with the more traditional values of the district.

With drug activity increasing inside the United States and the Mexican cartels showing no signs of abating either in their production or aptitude for violence, calls from law enforcement to apply solutions may very soon transition into a clear and present danger should policy makers fail to act, especially as an ounce of prevention provides a pound of cure.

Conservatism should be a defense of government against its abuse by liberals.

If you want to find the right people for public office, look for those who have accomplished something outside of public office.

It doesn’t have to be true, you see. It just has to fit a narrative.

That Wexton has seen fit to shift her narrative once again isn’t just problematic, it’s moral weakness and rank opportunism where firm resolve ought to exist.

Reuters and the AP asked a partisan question and got a partisan response, which gets the larger (and far more dangerous) narrative of the sorry state of US-Russian relations lost in the media shuffle.

They just have a different and far more profitable means of doing so…

If there was a Democrat out there hoping for a divided and bitter 6th District Republican Committee, they will be sorely disappointed.
