I just heard (and I may be accused of exceeding my lane again) that Edward “Eddie” S. Whitlock, III is a candidate for Henrico GOP Chair. And for my money (and I don’t bet!) I’d vote for him if I were a Henrico Republican. We need to find a place in the General Assembly for […]

Jeff Schapiro writes a fascinating (although I think Gov. McAuliffe would be foolish to take this advice) article: On Wednesday night, Gov. Terry McAuliffe will have what may be his last chance to stop Republicans from dumping Jane Marum Roush from the Virginia Supreme Court. It would be high stakes and high drama. *** It […]

42,000 HealthCare.gov applications stalled in Virginia Medicaid limbo Ladies and gentlemen, Virginia has handed over the State Government to progressives (aka liberals, aka statists) and the result is apparently no different in Virginia than in Washington D.C. How can Virginia afford 42,000 more medicaid applications? We’ve neither the money nor infrastructure in place to handle […]

I just received a pretty interesting email from Republican Party of Virginia Chairman Pat Mullins predicting that Republicans in the Virginia House and Senate will vote to raise taxes (again), expand Obamacare (again) and ban guns. See for yourself: — BREAKING: Gov. McAuliffe Signs Historic Gun Ban into Law! — — New Democrat Governor Expands […]

I fully concur in the disappointment that these House members voted to support Governor McDonnell’s tax increase. My dispute with it is more to the the scope and method of raising the taxes. I would also have preferred to see spending cuts but I do not pretend to say how I would do so. But […]

I might be presumptuous for me to suggest what Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli must do to win the election – I am certainly not a paid campaign consultant but I will offer a few thoughts on this issue. For I believe that Cuccinelli could easily lose this election and I am afraid not to Robert […]

There is an email from Susan Stimpson the former Republican Candidate for Lt.

I am generally pleased with Governor McDonnell’s State of the Commonwealth address.

I was prayerfully wondering what position for the Governor to take on the sonogram bill.
