Virginia was a different place in 2017. Still coming to terms with the phrase “President Donald Trump,” the anger amongst the Democrat base in the Old Dominion was palpable. Thus arrived the Freshman 15 — 15 House Democrats who flipped seats that had been held by Republicans. The 15 Freshmen rode into the House of […]
Chesterfield is well known for the high quality of its schools. People move there to raise their kids exactly for that reason. Home values stay high for that reason. Politicians in Chesterfield talk about education before practically anything else. It’s hard to think of a policy that gets enacted in Chesterfield that doesn’t get viewed […]
Support for late-term abortion is hard to come by in America. A February poll found that 79 percent of adults don’t support it. But during a debate last week Cole, a Democrat running in the 28th House District, defended a highly-controversial bill introduced by Democrat Del.

Inflation means different things to different people. To an economist, it’s a measure of the slow rise of prices and the devaluation of currency over time. To a cosmologist, it means a brief epoch of time in which the universe expanded faster than the speed of light. But to Virginia Democrats, it means counting your […]
Governor Northam and Attorney General Mark Herring have said repeatedly that the Commonwealth is facing an epidemic of gun violence. But when given the opportunity to do something about it other than gun control, both Democrats balked. That’s the upshot of a story in the Washington Free Beacon, which details how the two men decided […]
This doesn’t fit the narrative at all. Democrat Delegate Schuyler VanValkeburg is in hot water for a recent mail piece sent by his campaign attacking Republican GayDonna Vandergriff. The problem?
