Hey NCAA, Let JMU Go Bowling!
by Kerry Dougherty File this under “Even A Blind Squirrel Finds A Nut Occasionally”: Louise Lucas, one of the worst members of Virginia’s General Assembly and the ringleader of the obstructionist “brick wall” in the state Senate that blocked chunks of Gov. Glenn Youngin’s popular agenda, is on the right side of an issue. For…

Erica Ausch: The Last Holocaust Survivor in Hampton Roads?
by Kerry Dougherty More than 80 years ago the Nazis began “cleansing” Europe of Jews. The reign of terror began with hate and harassment. It moved on to expulsion and finally to the death camps. Initially the rest of the world didn’t know what was happening. By the time they noticed, six million Jews were…

What’s Going On with Rep. Kiggans?
by Kerry Dougherty It’s a good, old-fashioned clusterfart in our paralyzed House of Representatives as Republicans fruitlessly bicker over a replacement for Speaker Kevin McCarthy who was deposed recently by eight GOP agents of chaos without a plan for what comes next. Early on, it appeared that Louisiana’s Steve Scalise would be the consensus candidate…

No Parole for Killers, No Matter How Old
by Kerry Doherty Autumn, with its crisp temperatures, pumpkin spice and vibrant colors, seems to be everyone’s favorite season. Not Paige O’Shaughnessy’s. In fact, each year when the season changes she’s reminded of the hellish fall of 2000. That was the year her husband, Timothy O’Shaughnessy, 40, was murdered in his downtown Norfolk office. It…

Lose the Masks
by Kerry Dougherty Last Saturday’s horrors of Hamas were followed here and abroad with another kind of horror. There were anti-Israel rallies at colleges and in major cities across the nation. These heartless people were demonstrating for just one reason: to show support for the barbarians who had just invaded a country, slaughtered innocent people,…

Jew-Hating Student Groups Crop Up Like Cockroaches. Virginia Is No Exception.
by Kerry Dougherty As the world gapes in horror at the atrocities committed against the people of Israel malignant clots of the perpetually disgruntled appear, like cockroaches. These brainwashed fans of Hamas cheer the murder of Jewish babies, the rape of Jewish women and the taking of Jewish hostages. They wave the Palestinian flag. They…

Stop All Aid to Palestinians and Other Terrorists. Every Bit of It
by Kerry Dougherty On Saturday morning Hamas terrorists unleashed Hell on innocent Israelis. As Israel’s ambassador to the US pointed out, given the population of Israel 600 dead Israelis is the equivalent of 20,000 dead Americans. This was Israel’s 9-11. Their Pearl Harbor. Some say it was the most deadly day in history for the…

Youngkin’s “Bromance” with Petersburg’s Mayor
by Kerry Dougherty They tried. Lord knows they did their best to find fault. But even the leftie Washington Post was forced to hold its nose and admit that Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s commitment to his signature program — “Partnership for Petersburg” — is genuine and getting results. For more than a year, Youngkin has been…

New Yorker Tops Virginian as Dumbest Member of Congress
by Kerry Dougherty In 1974 a story in a Washington DC magazine listed the 10 dumbest members of Congress. Numero uno? Sen. William Scott of Virginia. Scott was infuriated and called a press conference to deny the allegations, drawing attention to the article in an alternative magazine and proving to many that he really was…

Glenn Youngkin. The GOP’s Red Vest Savior?
by Kerry Dougherty To properly judge the level of disillusionment after Wednesday’s GOP debate, get a load of this bright red headline on Drudge Thursday: That teases to a Washington Post opinion piece, “GOP Donors Yearn For a Trump Alternative. They Think They May Have Found One.” According to Post reporter Robert Costa, high-roller Republican…

Early Voting Starts Today: Bank Your Vote
by Kerry Dougherty This may be my autumn of living dangerously. Heck, I may roller skate down a flight of stairs. Without a helmet. I may drive on the interstate. Without a seatbelt. Shoot, I may even give gas station sushi a try. If I don’t make it till Election Day? Who cares? I’m voting…

Navy Ditches Drag Queen Recruiting Videos
by Kerry Dougherty Whoa. Stop the presses. Big news out of Washington. Navy brass has confirmed that it’s scrapped its ingenuous recruiting tool. You know, the one we wrote about last spring: drag queens. Yep, Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, a non-binary sailor who likes to dress up like a woman and prance around on…

Will Dove Get the Bud Light Treatment?
by Kerry Dougherty Does the name Morgan Bettinger sound familiar? Perhaps not. She’s just another victim of fake hate at the University of Virginia. A girl who was wrongly labeled a racist and who suffered as a result of a relentless, mean-spirited campaign to drive her out of school. Meanwhile, the person who accused her…

A Race to the Bottom Everywhere
by Kerry Dougherty Great news! Beginning today, members of the U.S. Senate will be indistinguishable from bums. Axios reports that Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is “relaxing” the dress code for members, allowing them to be on the floor of the Senate dressed like they’re headed to Walmart. Or rather, like John Fetterman of Pennsylvania who…

Dems Nominated an Online Porn Star for House of Delegates
by Kerry Dougherty I can’t decide which is more shocking: that Virginia Democrats nominated a porn star for the House of Delegates or that The Washington Post committed an act of journalism that hurt a Democrat. Shoot, we know what to expect of Democrats. This news doesn’t register on the political shock-o-meter. What’s truly stunning…
