“Is Donald J. Trump dangerous, odd, and unfit for office?” A few of my faint-at-hearted, squeamish friends are having a lot of heartburn over the prospect of voting for Donald J. Trump, as opposed to the most corrupt, vulgar politician since Bill Clinton was president; Hillary Clinton. Some of them are a bit self-righteous and […]

Not by choice, but due to the constant red tape, road blocks and outright harassment by government officials and bureaucrats in the Commonwealth. And she has done the unexpected. She has fought back to protect her right to farm. Common […]

“The controversy and conflicting stories concerning her time on the Watergate Committee foreshadowed her entire public life.” By Michael Giere This has been a remarkable election season for many reasons. Chief among them is that Hillary Rodham Clinton, her core beliefs, background, policy proposals and scandals have received so little serious attention outside of a […]

It’s not very often that a saved sanctified Nazarene says “Hell NO” in a blog post. But when the promoters of the new stadium deal in Las Vegas say: Not Negotiable unless the public puts up $750,000,000 (That’s right, mother million!) first – I say Hell NO!

To sum up why I now object to a Convention: Ken Cuccinelli was branded a far right wing extremist while he was Attorney General. Ken Cuccinelli convinced the State Central Committee to change the already settled nomination process from a primary to a convention in 2013. Other potential contenders backed out in 2013, leaving Cuccinelli […]

Ken Cuccinelli has said you can win a Convention by bringing more people. And we saw that in action in Richmond in 2009. And Cuccinelli’s tenure as Attorney General gave the GOP a black eye as the most activist AG ever to hold that position (until Mark Herring, the current AG). He made it easy […]

Santayana wrote (in The Life of Reason, 1905) Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Some of us remember the past better than others. Yesterday I wrote an article about Bearing Drift’s Shaun Kenney and his ridiculous post earlier this month making fun of us “racists” who are deeply concerned about […]

I have been pondering the different factions within the Virginia Republican Party. We banter about terms like RINO (Republican in Name Only) and Conservative along with the sub terms like Social Conservative and Fiscal Conservative to presumably identify the “brand” of Conservative we are dealing with. And to confuse things even further, we have made […]

The day after another overwhelming win by both the men’s and women’s basketball at the Rio Games, the director of USA Basketball, Jerry Colangelo, had this to say about the level of competition at the Olympics: “I’m not going to be making excuses for anyone about our [dominance],” Colangelo told the newspaper. “Someone said to […]

I knew it wouldn’t take long. On August 4th, Drifty Boy Shaun Kenny wrote an ill conceived post ridiculing people who have expressed concern at the influx of Muslim Syrian refugees into Virginia. Specifically – Roanoke. When I read the post that was sent to me by a friend (I never read that RINO / […]

I started these words before the USA-Serbia men’s basketball game. And I refuse to watch any of it. I am right now (after the game) watching Miracle.

I am so thrilled to tout this next nation – first GOLD medal (and a bronze to boot!) and this is the first medal for the Cote d’Ivorie (Most of my readers will know it as the Ivory Coast) since that glorious Games of 1984 where most of the Soviet bloc (except Romania) boycotted the […]

I actually predicted something like this would happen right here at VA Right! But they tend to offer these sporting events again to the areas that hosted it before.

I was stunned and saddened to hear of the passing of radio show host Jack Gravely. Please accept this as my humble and short tribute. I did not know Gravely well. I think I spoke with him about things like ballot access and perhaps better indigent defense and I recall how cultured and courteous he […]
