FBI Targets State Sen. Louise Lucas
by Kerry Dougherty Democrat Louise Lucas has been the queen of machine politics in Portsmouth for decades. Graceless in victory, venomous in defeat, relentlessly partisan, full of braggadocio and vulgarities, Lucas has prospered while the city she represents has become increasingly dysfunctional. Casino gambling and weed were what she offered the people. Not only are…

Let Your Rage Fuel You
by Kerry Dougherty Here are four words I never thought I’d utter: Abigail Spanberger was right. During the campaign she urged Virginia to be fueled by rage. Well, after watching the patently illegal shenanigans by the “10 effing 1” Democrat crowd I’m feeling the rage and it’s fueling my desire to see Southern states go…

Reading The Virginia Supreme Court Tea Leaves
by Kerry Dougherty These are the parlor games court watchers are playing in Virginia as the commonwealth’s Supreme Court justices mull one of the most consequential decisions of their careers. The seven justices will decide if the recent redistricting referendum, the one restoring gerrymandering to Virginia, will stand. It shouldn’t. And the entire country is…

Dems & Media Lapdogs Created An Assassination-Friendly Environment
by Kerry Dougherty I have two words for anyone who campaigned for or voted for Jay Jones and who now is calling for an end to violent rhetoric: Shut up. Case in point, Gov. Abigail Spanberger. After merrily campaigning with Jay “Two Bullets” Jones she’s suddenly against violence. This comes after a would-be assassin was…

Virginia Got Fairfaxed
by Kerry Dougherty For brief time on Election Night it appeared that common sense and fair play had prevailed in Virginia. You could see it in the horror on the faces of the CNN hosts as they were forced to report that a NO vote on the blatantly misleading redistricting referendum was ahead by almost…

Vote NO
by Kerry Dougherty I didn’t vote early on the redistricting referendum. But I’m definitely voting in person on Tuesday. And I’m voting NO. My unopened mail-in ballot is on my desk. I’ll turn it in to poll workers on Tuesday so I can vote without casting a provisional ballot. That’s what I did in the…

One Step Closer to Mob Rule
by Kerry Dougherty Of all the bad bills signed into law by Gov. Abigail Spanberger this week – and there are an abundance – perhaps the worst is the law that commits Virginia to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. With her signature this week, Virginia became the 18th state to violate Article II of…

WaPo Calls Spanberger a Spineless Hypocrite
by Kerry Dougherty It’s worse than we thought. Abigail Spanberger is in deep trouble. She’s not only squandered almost all of the goodwill that came with her election but there’s more. Sitting down? She’s lost The Washington Post. In a Tuesday editorial that attempted to explain the new governor’s plummeting poll numbers, The Post accused…

Fairfax County Coddles Illegal Alien Criminals.
by Kerry Dougherty More than 1 million people live in Fairfax County, Va. They aren’t like the rest of us. For reasons no one can explain, voters in this wealthy suburb repeatedly vote for a chief prosecutor who coddles criminals and has an absolutely bizarre philosophy about crime and punishment. Elected first in 2019 and…

No Kings: Geriatrics Rise Up. Very Slowly.
by Kerry Dougherty We get it, geezers. You didn’t vote for Donald Trump. You hate him. We saw you shaking your canes at the president during your silly “No Kings” protests on Saturday. Who wants to tell them that we don’t HAVE a king? We have a president. Then again, you can’t expect people who…

State Sen. Aaron Rouse: Prevaricator or Totally Disabled?
by Kerry Dougherty One of two things is true about State Sen. Aaron Rouse of Virginia Beach. He’s either badly disabled and unable to work due to concussions and other injuries sustained during his three seasons as an NFL safety. Or he’s a prevaricator. Take your pick. Either one casts doubts on his fitness to…

No, Senator. Virginia Does Not Require Photo ID to Vote
by Kerry Dougherty Let’s stop kidding ourselves and each other about voter ID. And, yes, I AM talking to you Sen. Mark Warner. Virginia does not – I repeat – does not have voter ID. No matter what our bloviating senator may say about Virginia being a model for the nation. Fact is, although we’re…

Scam: Look What They Did to Poor Virtus!
by Kerry Dougherty Hairbags. Scum. Thieves. Con artists. Swindlers. Grifters. I’m running out of nouns. No, I’m not talking about politicians. I’m talking about the con artists who spend their time trying to fleece hard-working Americans. Who knows if they operate from Internet cafes in Nigeria, Myanmar or Short Pump. All we know is that…
