Hey Virginia: Hands Off Those Cake Pops
by Kerry Dougherty There’s a reason Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s approval rating in the latest Mason-Dixon Poll perches at a lofty 58 percent in this once-blue state, despite Republicans losing control of the legislature in November’s election. Youngkin gets it. On X, he wrote: “We’re going to fix this, Virginia will always be the best place…

Fairfax School Board Chair Takes Oath of Office on Stack of Porn
by Kerry Dougherty Ah, December. That marvelous holiday month, when Jews and Christians celebrate joyous holidays. Of course it’s also the season when those who loathe religion spring into action. This is their moment too. This year’s crop of religion haters is especially ugly. According to the New York Post, Harvard University officials — who…

Racism Comes in All Colors
by Kerry Dougherty What follows here is fiction. Totally imaginary. Still, picture this with me: The mayor of Virginia’s largest city — that would be Virginia Beach, population 458,000 — decides to hold a holiday party for city council members on city property. The mayor — and let me remind you this is hypothetical, it…

Sorry, Senator. Zalenskyy is No George Washington
by Kerry Dougherty Tim Kaine jumped the shark. Get a load of the nonsense this United States Senator – from VIRGINIA – Tweeted on Tuesday: President Zelenskyy spoke to the Senate today about the critical role of American support for Ukrainian democracy. He stood beneath a portrait of George Washington, who helped birth an America…

Online Porn Star/Democrat Candidate Continues to Play Victim
by Kerry Dougherty Let me get this straight. A married mother of two, a Democrat, who engaged in smutty livestream sex for money with her husband, is still playing the victim card because she lost her bid to represent Virginians from the 57th House District. Politico just featured a laughable Q and A with the…

Hardest Job in Virginia: Making Aaron Spence Look Good.
by Kerry Dougherty We tried to warn you, Loudoun County. We told you that Virginia Beach School Superintendent Aaron Spence was trouble. That he was one vote away from being sacked by the newly elected Beach school board when he decided to bolt for greener pastures. That he was a devoted wokester. We even pointed…

Norfolk Hipsters & Lefties Try to Block a Military-Themed Brewery
by Kerry Dougherty Now is the time. If you believe that cities ought to be open for business, regardless of the viewpoints of the business owners, if you support the military and don’t consider flag-waving a provocative act, you might want to let Norfolk’s City Council hear from you. On December 12th it is scheduled…

Williamsburg Street Festival Engages in Ugly Antisemitism
by Kerry Dougherty A monthly street fair in Williamsburg is making national headlines for all the wrong reasons: over the weekend news broke that the organizers banned a rabbi from a menorah-lighting ceremony. Unless the rabbi would light the candles under a banner demanding a ceasefire in Israel, that is. Which raises the question, what…

Slasher Ordered to Reimburse Medical Bills of his Victim
by Kerry Dougherty Several things strike me about this crime and restitution story out of Patrick County. First, after Larry Puckett nearly stabbed Justin Hawkes to death in the fall of 2019, Mr. Hawkes incurred about $120,000 in medical bills. Because the injured man was indigent, Medicaid stepped in and negotiated the price down to…

Anyone Know Where Sen. Ghazala Hashmi Lives?
by Kerry Dougherty mmm. Looks like things just got interesting — instead of merely horrifying — in last Tuesday’s election. If Luke Rosiak of The Daily Wire is correct, one Democrat member of the Virginia State Senate may be fighting to stay out of jail rather than taking her seat in the Capitol come January.…

Virginia Election Reflections
by Kerry Dougherty So, boys and girls, what did we learn Tuesday night? I’ll go first. First, we learned never to underestimate the Democrats’ devotion to abortion. To them, it’s a sacrament. Something not to be touched. Every woman, they believe, has the right (I’d say God-given, but it seems blasphemous) to abort her baby…

Election Day: VOTE
by Kerry Dougherty No matter how busy you are, no matter what’s going on, don’t sit this one out. VOTE. Especially if you love Virginia and don’t want our commonwealth to go backwards, turning into an East-coast version of tax-mad, crime-ridden, pronoun-obsessed California. Remember how good it felt the day after the 2021 election, when…

Nine ODs in One Loudoun High School and Parents Were the Last to Know
by Kerry Dougherty What is it with Loudoun County school officials? They’re strangely fond of keeping secrets. They don’t like parents. And they never seem to learn from their mistakes. In 2021 they hid incidents of sexual assaults from parents. Last month they hid a fentanyl epidemic at Park View High School from parents for…

Conservative Boycotts Work
by Kerry Dougherty In the first month after Dylan Mulvaney began promoting the Anheuser-Busch beer, sales of America’s most popular beer dropped 26.5% while Modelo’s were up 13.5%. The Mexican beer quickly toppled Bud Light as America’s best-selling beer. Likewise, the June “Pride Month” boycott of Target resulted in a 5.4% drop in that company’s…

The Californication of Virginia
by Kerry Dougherty Does anyone really think fewer gas mowers will make a difference? More importantly, is it the role of government to tell citizens what they must use to trim their fescue? Of course it isn’t. Why should we in Virginia care? Because we’re just one car back on California’s crazy train. During the…
