It seems like an eternity ago. People around the U.S. were united in their outrage and disgust at legislation pending before the Virginia General Assembly. Democrat Del. Kathy Tran, D-Arlington, was discussing her bill to remove restrictions on abortion when she was asked if the bill would allow abortion during birth. “My bill would allow […]
Progressive PAC Clean Virginia’s True Motives Finally Confirmed
A recent article in the Roanoke Times has confirmed what we have known all along: the organization Clean Virginia is a complete and utter fraud.

The Great Inflation, or How House Democrats Learned to Stop Worrying and Just Transfer Money Around
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 […]
Dems Refuse Gun Violence Funding Over ICE Cooperation
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.

Democrat Schuyler VanValkenburg Goes There
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?

Rodman claimed that Dunnavant “wrote the bill that would let insurance companies deny […]
Sex Offenders, Thieves, and Illegal Immigrants: VA Dems Get Soft on Crime
For a Democrat, few tags can sting as much as “soft on crime.” For decades, Democrats fought the charge, occasionally joining with Republicans to pass “law and order” bills cracking down on crime. Those days would seem to be over in Virginia. Barely a month before Election Day, Democrats have publicly begun staking out decidedly […]
Pedal Faster, Comrade: The Virginia Green New Deal is Coming
It didn’t make many headlines, but a remarkable thing happened in Virginia politics last weekend. The Democrat Party of Virginia voted unanimously to endorse the Virginia Green New Deal — a state-level version of the national Green New Deal proposed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. Unlike it’s national counterpart, the Virginia Green New Deal has […]
Democrat Darling Called out for Deceitful Ad
It’s not easy to get a Pants on Fire rating from PolitiFact — especially if you’re a Democrat. But Sheila Bynum-Coleman, the darling of the left running against Republican House Speaker Kirk Cox did just that with her first TV ad of the cycle. Bynum-Coleman and her team were apparently trying to take advantage of […]
