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 […]
There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch, even if your constituents demand it. It’s a simple lesson, but one that Governor Northam and his fellow Democrats don’t seem to have grasped. Governor Northam took to the Richmond Times Dispatch over the weekend to attack Republican efforts to allow voters to purchase the health […]
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? The mailer shows Vandergriff “hooked” to a number of male Republican members of the House, not unlike a marionette — the clear implications being that […]
It’s not often that a major Democrat line off attack gets exploded by the media, particularly a month out from an election. But that’s exactly what happened to Virginia Democrats’ claim that Republicans voted to deny coverage to patients with pre-existing conditions. Rodman claimed that Dunnavant “wrote the bill that would let insurance companies deny […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Rest easy, business leaders and moderate Democrats: Ralph Northam won’t let the crazy that’s taken hold in the Democrat party as of late make it into law. At least, that’s the message that’s quietly working its way out of the Patrick Henry Building these days. Northam is quietly — and sometimes not so quietly — […]
Things just got worse for Del. Dawn Adams, D-Henrico. A lot worse. Already facing a lawsuit alleging that the Democrat seeking re-election broke into online banking and other accounts of a former staffer, emails have emerged allegedly showing that Adams had the staffer — a public employee — working for her personal businesses while on […]
