If you saw me at a political event four years ago and said “I’d bet you that in five years Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin would pass Right to Work laws?” If I bet money (and I don’t) I’d bet the last dollar in my wallet it would not happen. And I’d have lost that last […]

I like to cite liberals and progressives to support conservative/libertarian ideas. It is a bit like placing a hostile witness on the stand and getting him or her to admit something helpful to my case. So when I found this little gem from progressive darling Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on the super evil arbitration clause […]

Now, I was glad that several comments came as a result of the House of Delegates Israel resolution passed 70-2 last week. I think most of my fellow conservatives were fascinated more with the dual walkout by a number of Democratic delegates to avoid the vote. I wrote the post last week in about ten […]

Today (February 22) is the 35th Anniversary of the Miracle on Ice. There is much fascination with this game and rightly so. Here’s a quote from the Fox News article: The game stands among the greatest achievements in our history, right up there with victory in World War II, the moon landing, and the launch […]

There is a fair amount of UKIP news to report. The General Election is set for Thursday May 7 (80 days left counting Feb 17 which is still young both in snowy Virginia and in the UK) and one of the British TV channels ran a false “mockumentary” titled UKIP: The First Hundred Days. That […]

I like what I hear about Del. Pogge. She is a strong conservative and she prayed with a friend of mine who is running for judge. She also opposed the PEC and supported Martha Bonita. But this resolution of hers on Israel is unconstitutional and she should know it. It involves the Commonwealth of Virginia […]

I have been mulling the issue for some time. Sex usually sells. But I now must wonder if this will top the attention of my support for Bill Janis for state senate! I guess we’ll find out! This all started with an attempt to remove the topless woman photograph that apparently is on page 3 […]

I do not live in the 12th Senatorial District but if I did I would vote on June 9 for former Delegate Bill Janis. Here’s why: 1. Janis is a solid conservative. I am listening to Bill on the John Fredericks show and he seems solid to me. 2. Janis is not born in VA […]
