Stonewalling on debates only proves the worn narrative that the Democrats don’t have a positive agenda, either for America or for Virginia.
Pipeline opponents are having a hard time getting a hearing. That’s because the sharp pencils over within Northam’s campaign have calculated they don’t need the environmentalist left.
Trump has a big heart for DACA. Does it expand into a comprehensive schematic for immigration reform?
We cannot deny a predestination of the negative, that is, our actions are predetermined to remain within the finite permutations of what we can do, not the infinitude of what we wish to do.
Despite a momentary dip, Trump remains is far stronger than the Democratic narrative would care to position the president.
The story the media is finally covering in a but-whaddabout-Stewart sort of way can no longer be ignored.
The proposed 600-mile underground Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) is an interstate natural gas transmission pipeline that would serve multiple public utilities and their growing energy needs in Virginia and North Carolina.
For those interested in learning more about the project, check out the fact sheet over at Dominion Energy or the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project page. For all the Frequently Asked Questions — including whether the energy will be shipped overseas (fun fact: it will not) — click here for all the facts.
More to the point, there’s a reason why the project enjoys broad bi-partisan support from the political center of Virginia. Northam chose wisely by backing the project, even if his more extremist supporters would rather condemn 1 in 8 Virginians to energy poverty rather than see facts straight on.

Virginia House Democrats are looking like the lame horse on the outside of the track stumbling into the gate — never mind getting out of it.
More than ever, if we are going to take 1 out of every 8 Virginians and give them a fighting chance, it starts with making sure they can afford their family’s electric bill.
