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.

Perhaps that is because the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative with its innocent and almost benevolent sounding name is at the end of the day a carbon […]
The Rise Of The Last RFK Democrat
For those of you who have been longtime readers, you know of my affinity for former Delegate “Fighting Joe” Morrissey — the Democratic nominee for the Virginia Senate in SEN-16. Pro-working class, sensible on fiscal issues, and above all else someone who has lived his pro-life values in the public square in a way few […]
