Solar Farms Come Up Short
by Kerry Dougherty No offense to ordinary, decent schizophrenics, but Virginia Democrats appear to be suffering from this or a similar mental disorder. And they’re off their meds. Examples abound, but here’s just one: The left-wing radicals who once were tree-huggers, have morphed into lovers of solar panels. As far as these loons are concerned,…

The Left Tinkles on America’s Birthday Party
by Kerry Dougherty Did anyone else’s spidey senses go off the minute they saw this Reuter’s photo that the corporate media labels “chilling”? Lemme get this straight: These white supremacists took the metro to a downtown D.C. march this weekend and a freelance photographer just happened to be in the same rail car where a…

Covid Tyrants: Never Forget
by Kerry Dougherty The decals on the floors are wearing away. Much of the Plexiglas is gone, too. And what exactly did people do with all those stupid cloth masks they loved to wear just five years ago? (I had one: a black mask made of cheesecloth with holes so big I could drink through…

Europe Sizzles While Americans Stay Cool
by Kerry Dougherty If 1967 was the summer of love, 1985 was the summer of sweat. For me, anyway. I spent a lot of time on the beach 31 years ago. Over the roar of the surf I could hear Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” blaring from boomboxes, vying with Huey Lewis’ “The Power of Love.”…

Let’s Be Honest: Virginia’s Budget Is Racist
by Kerry Dougherty Are black tourists having trouble coming to Virginia? How about “indigenous” visitors? Hispanics? I only ask because buried on page 122 of the hastily assembled 600-page budget Democrats finally finished on Friday – 100 days late – is this intriguing item: “$1,500,000 the first year and $1,500,000 the second year out of…

Virginia on the Brink
by Kerry Dougherty With Virginia’s top two Democrat females mud wrestling in Richmond, it’s time to think about what a Virginia state government shutdown might look like. With 13 days to get a budget, the unthinkable may actually happen: Virginia government may shut down because the Democrats fundamentally don’t like each other. None of us…

It’s Not The Heat. It’s The Humidity.
by Kerry Dougherty It took me five seconds on AI to confirm what I already knew from living in the resort city for the past 42 years. Going outside in the summer is like walking into a dog’s mouth. So exactly what Mensa member designed the new Dome concert hall, with retractable hangar doors for…

Hurricane Season: Are You Ready?
by Kerry Dougherty I admit it. After decades in the news business I’m jaded. Bored, too. Especially with the tedious, fear-inducing fluff pieces that news outlets sprinkle throughout the year as their reporters obediently attend press conferences and act as stenographers for bureaucrats. You know, the stories with ridiculous “safety precautions” published year after year…

CDL Carnage Continues
by Kerry Dougherty On Friday morning, at 2:35, a charter bus on I-95 south in Stafford county failed to slowdown for a work zone and plowed into an SUV. That SUV rammed an Acura sedan, carrying a family of four. Four other cars were also hit by the bus, before the larger vehicle flipped over,…

Virginia’s Old-Fashioned Cat Fight
by Kerry Dougherty Someone recently asked why I’m so fond of including Tweets, er Xes, in my posts. That’s easy. There’s no better way to figure out what’s going on in the devious hearts of politicians than to read their Tweets. In the days after her businesses were raided by the FBI State Sen. Louise…

Some Virginia Prosecutors Refusing to Enforce New Gun Laws
by Kerry Dougherty This is odd. Seems the same lefties who are unbothered by Fairfax County’s Soros-backed commonwealth’s attorney reluctance to prosecute illegal aliens or turn them over to ICE are having hissy fits over prosecutors who announced that they won’t enforce Virginia’s new – likely unconstitutional – gun law. Maybe some law-abiding citizens wouldn’t…

More Timeshare Architecture!
by Kerry Dougherty Scrolling through X the other day I stumbled on an amusing post by someone who asked AI to “roast” Virginia Beach. The result was spot on. Impossibly accurate. So I decided to give it a try. I asked ChatGPT to produce a “roast” of Virginia Beach. The prompts I gave only mentioned…

Dan Helmer Doesn’t Believe in an Independent Judiciary
by Kerry Dougherty Poor Dan Helmer. No one wants to be a member of Congress more than this 44-year-old man, yet so far he’s been unable to win a Democrat primary election. Not for lack of trying. For the time being, he’ll have to be content with his seat in the House of Delegates representing…

Virginia Dems Turn Their Ire on U.S. Supreme Court
by Kerry Dougherty When you attempt to do something illegal and the courts stop you, there’s only one thing to do: Attack the court and try to eliminate judicial independence. That’s a very dangerous game. And it’s the game Democrats are playing right now. Here are a few fun facts about the recent Democrat debacle…
