I went to the Buddy Fowler Victory Party in Ashland Tuesday evening with excitement (It was looking good the Del. Fowler) but also trepidation. Gecker was ahead – was it 3000 or 40o0 votes? Powhatan was out but how many votes can that be? Will it be enough? I knew little about the Hal Parrish […]

Our former do nothing Lt. Governor Bill Bolling who whined and cried because he was afraid to face Ken Cuccinelli in a Convention and even considered a third party run (like Donald Trump has considered) has unfriended me on Facebook. I was quite surprised it took him so long because he has been purging Conservatives […]

Two hours ago, around noon (est), the Washington Post published its’ latest poll on how the American People feel about the direction of our nation, and who we trust the most with our highest priorities. It seems to me that the Washington Post, along with conservative talk radio, blogs, and probably everyone else in American […]

The op-ed in the Washington Post entitled Five Myths About Jesus is simply this and nothing more: A blatant denial of the Biblical account. Here are the five “myths”: Jesus was not born in Bethlehem Jesus was an only child Jesus only had twelve disciples Jesus had a trial before Pilate Jesus was buried in […]

This election could easily turn into Minnesota 1998 with just a few breaks. Several polls show that the Sarvis support is not an anomaly but seems to be between 8 and 11 percent. This is amazing considering that the Old Dominion is averse to third parties. In the Bearing Drift poll – Sarvis is at […]

The exciting campaign of the Libertarian Robert Sarvis continues to criss-cross the Commonwealth! Monday at 735AM, Sarvis will be on the Jimmy Barrett show on WRVA.

I get a parade of material from the state GOP and the Cuccinelli campaign virtually every day detailing the suspected ethical lapses of the Democrat, Terry McAuliffe. EB-5 visa program, outlandish lies about Cuccinelli, alleged laundering of campaign contributions, etc. So I ask my Democrat readers (It may be presumptuous but the writers at the […]

Amazon founder and top dog Jeff Bezos has bought The Washington Post. And he is reported to be a Libertarian. That will be an interesting dynamic to say the least. While Bezos supports gay “marriage” and often donates to Democrats, he also donates to Republicans and has fought the “tax the rich” mentality. Tree based […]

Copperhead the movie, in its first week in Richmond, is garnering nice reviews from several sources. Here’s the Washington Post’s take on Copperhead: The story offers uncommon insights on the endlessly parsed period in history, but its execution sometimes falls short. Both the production quality and the persistent, sentimental soundtrack create a made-for-TV feel. And […]
