I have always admired the Bush family and their collective service to our nation.

All of that however is in […]

By Bob Shannon Central Garage Nice to see the Oligarchs now concerned about spending. Mr. Campbell last year for the first time spoke on items he thought could be eliminated from the 2014/15 budget. The timing of his comments were oddly coincidental since Land Use Tax Exemptions were on the chopping block. Watch how fast […]

According to the Republican Party of Virginia’s Chairman John Whitbeck, the “Statement of Party Affiliation” isn’t about voter suppression, it is about ensuring that only Republicans vote in the Republican primary.
