A left-wing prosecutor whose election was funded by liberal billionaire George Soros is being sued by the mother of a child rape victim after he botched the case’s prosecution. It’s the latest example of a Soros-backed prosecutor showing leniency to, or fumbling the prosecution of, a pedophile, in a case that has even the rapist’s attorney questioning […]

LINGAMFELTER: Virginia’s Northam Learning Gap
It should surprise no one. After the ill-conceived March 2020 closing of Virginia’s public schools by former Democrat Gov.
