I was searching about for hints on whether Trump will “ratify” (which a President cannot do – only a President together with 2/3 (67) of the Senate can “ratify” a treaty) the Paris Climate Accords (Here’s Sandy’s reasons why he should NOT) and I found this CNN headline for this post by John D. Sutter […]

I decided since people are discussing the Paris Climate Accord adopted at one of the many Wastes of Time (aka UN Climate Conferences) I would apply my learned and storied legal mind (Praise Jesus for it!) to the agreement itself. Here is the text in English of the Paris Agreement. Five (or more) reasons for […]

Two upcoming meetings are for training and petition distribution (from the FB page for the Elected School Board referendum drive): Wednesday, 5/31 at 7:30pm at Atlee Branch Library Friday, 6/2 at 12pm at Roma’s on […]

The blog has not endorsed recently very often but Tom and I are in agreement on the GOP candidate (and the general election too!) in the leans Republican 56th HOD district. No need to complain about an uncontested election in the 56th! Two Dems v. SIX Republicans! Wow! I wish I could cover this primary […]

As a US Navy Veteran, I learned long ago that Navy SEAL’s are the best of the best. The dedication and determination needed to go through the training alone makes them stand out head and shoulders above the rest. And I found SEAL’s to be some of the most honorable and forthright humans on this […]

Here are two GREAT Glenn Davis videos: I admit I was a bit scared to listen to this one but the punchline reminds me of my old hero (who Davis reminds me of a bit) former Cong. Jack Kemp who said his idea of gun control was a good aim! And here is a Medicaid […]

I realize this is dangerous. But the pro-elected school board in Hanover needs what frankly is a ridiculous number of signatures (the law should have been 15% or 1000 or maybe 15oo signatures but I am grateful for the effort to bring about elected school boards in Virginia.) and we need all, as abolitionist William […]

There is a misleading email running about (I got it too) in re Del. Glenn Davis. I could not find a way to get it in a form I could link. Now let’s comment on it: Several paragraphs are spent on the 2014 Medicaid “expansion” bill that Davis supported (bold in original). In 2014, McAuliffe […]

The Richmond Times-Dispatch had a wonderful article – it caused a victory lap at my home! Hanover grading-scale change leads to push for elected school board And the news gets better: A group called Hanover Citizens for an Elected School Board hopes to put a referendum on the ballot in November asking residents if they […]

I am ready to endorse a candidate for the GOP primary on June 13. It was a tough choice in that there are three excellent candidates. I know Tom White endorsed Jill Vogel earlier. But I feel neither Vogel nor Reeves have handled the email-gate well. It will not play well in my view for […]

This NBC 12 TV story illustrates why sovereign immunity (SI) is inherently unfair and needs abolition or at least reform. I discussed this issue in more detail and if I ever go the BTSED route for the legislature in a future election I intend to discuss it. The story is that a young lady’s car […]

Today (May 13, 2017) is 31 days until June 13 when either the GOP or Dems can run candidates in uncontested districts by fiat or others – Libertarians, Constitution, Green, Indy Green (not related to the Green Party), or independents – with just 125 voters signatures (better get about 225 to be realistically sure to […]

The Richmond Libertarians met today at Brooks Diner and nominated Skip Sher to run against new delegate Jeff Bourne (the one who ran for delegate something like eleven days into a new four year term for the Richmond School Board; that one!) in the 71st district; Sher is not yet on the ballot – he […]

I am profoundly disturbed by the apparent fall of UKIP. They lost almost all their council (local government) seats from something like 145 seats to 2 (not a misprint – TWO seats). I am also profoundly disturbed with the “ban the burka (or burqa – what a great Scrabble[TM] word)” campaign plank and the seemingly […]

I received three comments (one using the same email address but different names) on my favorable but not endorsing article on Del. Glenn Davis and the implication of all three comments was that Davis is a RINO. Not a conservative. Let’s look at a few things: Gun rights: VCDL gave all three LG candidates a […]

This was delayed for several reasons but here it is: My interview with Del. Glenn R. Davis, candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Davis has been overshadowed a bit by the two state senators, Jill Vogel and Bryce Reeves, in the news but one news item caught my eye: Del. Glenn Davis: I Came To Estonia To […]

I am placing my official prediction for the French Presidential Election and the French are voting as we speak and while I hope and pray Le Pen will pull off the upset (and it is possible since her support is enthusiastic and his is not as such) I think the vote will be something like […]

In what one observer called “dynamic”, Virginia Right blogger Sandy Sanders was at the Louisa Tea Party Thursday April 27. Oh no, it’s Cousin Bernie! No Sandy’s not THAT old yet! Calling it a double honor to speak to the Louisa Tea Party and to be invited by its events coordinator, Fred Gruber, the victorious […]
