Sometimes I wonder if we have lost our nation to infantile and spoiled brats who think they are sufficiently knowledgeable of world events when in fact they are narrow-minded—and lately—profoundly anti-Semitic. I speak of the Hamas apologists who have brought violence to our intellectually castrated university campuses across the country. They remind me of the […]
Can you name the last book that you read? For about a quarter of Americans, if they can remember a title, it’s been more than a year since they’ve read it. According to a 2021 Pew Research survey, roughly a quarter of American adults—including 38 percent of Hispanic adults, 25 percent of Black adults and 20 percent of […]

In fact, our mission statement and manifesto explicitly states that we intend to refrain entirely from intramural contests. Too often and especially during primary season, Republicans — unable to take on […]
After years of fighting counterinsurgency wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the US Army has a tough mission ahead of it. During those counterinsurgency years—some of which continues today as we keep a lid on any resurgence of ISIS—the US Army engaged in a combination of urban warfare and search and destroy missions. The tactical skills […]
The FBI and Virginia Department of Transportation have issued an urgent warning to motorists about a new scam involving unpaid toll texts. Authorities consider it a significant threat that requires your immediate attention. “Smishing,” or identity theft schemes involving text messages intended to dupe you, have become increasingly common in recent years, like their closely […]
Richmond Mayor Levar M. Stoney has decided to suspend his ambitions for the governor’s mansion, at least for the time being. In a statement posted to X, the Democrat announced his decision to run for lieutenant governor and reiterated his commitment to helping Democrats reclaim Virginia’s state executive offices in 2025.
