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.

It was here, amidst the splendor of the Blue Ridge Mountains, that 34 Virginia National Guard soldiers comprising Company A, […]

Allow me to express my open hostility for what most people assume is “artificial intelligence” in the wake of ChatGPT and OpenAI. No — not because I am a troglodyte. No — not because my true […]
A photograph taken by a prominent Democrat candidate for Congress went viral for all the wrong reasons, and his delayed response drew the ire of both Democrats and Republicans across Virginia. Eugene Vindman is running for Congress in Virginia’s 7th District and was photographed at an event last week meeting with pro-Ukrainian activists with a […]
