Warren Harris: From Economic Development Director To Embezzler
by Kerry Dougherty Does anyone believe that if they stole almost $80,000 from the city of Virginia Beach, they’d be able to walk? Not spend a day in jail? Get a slap on the wrist? Of course not. But the rules are different for crooked city officials. Yesterday, the former head of Virginia Beach Department…

Democratic Flip-Floppers Voted Yes Before They Voted No
by Kerry Dougherty Tired of masks? Me too. But this is important. Imagine how hard the teachers’ unions must have lobbied their indentured Democratic servants in the Virginia State Senate to get seven who voted to end forced masking of school children on Tuesday to vote against the same exact bill on Wednesday. It passed…

Chap Petersen Is Rescuing Virginia’s Kids
by Kerry Dougherty State Senator Chap Petersen of Fairfax is a Democrat. I often disagree with his positions. But not when it comes to Covid restrictions. Especially the forced masking of school children. Former Gov. Ralph Northam was promiscuous in his use of executive orders, which stripped Virginians of many of their basic civil liberties.…

Virginia Democrats Cling to Forced Masking of Kids
by Kerry Dougherty Hey, Virginia Democrats, read the room. Rather, read the country. As Democrats in the Old Dominion lawyer up and throw hissy fits in a mad attempt to keep forced masking in schools, their counterparts in four blue states spent Monday merrily rolling back the mandates. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced Monday…

Arlington Judge Rules in Favor of Forced Masking of Kids
by Kerry Dougherty Amidst the cacophony of leftist celebrations Friday — the high fives, the gloating — over an Arlington County Circuit Court judge’s ruling that the forced masking of school children can continue in Virginia, one important wrinkle went unexplored by the mainstream media. Once again, only Luke Rosiak, a reporter for The Daily…

Unvaccinated Patients Denied Organ Transplants Everywhere
by Kerry Dougherty It’s right there on the bottom left of my Virginia driver’s license. A little heart and the words “organ donor.” I ticked that box years ago. I also joined the bone marrow donor list when a friend had leukemia and needed a match. Donating our organs is the last act of kindness…

Democrat Consultant Revels in Raunchy Attack on Virginia Kids
by Kerry Dougherty CAUTION: Foul language in the following post. Don’t blame me. Blame Democrat consultant Ben Tribbett who unleashed a vile verbal attack on Virginia schoolchildren. There is no way to report this without repeating his vulgarity. If you had any doubt that Virginia’s increasingly unhinged Democrats were suffering from Youngkin Derangement Syndrome, take…

Is Your Kid Trans? Don’t Expect the School to Tell You
by Kerry Dougherty In case you’re wondering how Glenn Youngkin came to be elected in Virginia perhaps it’s because the Northam regime ensured that you could drop your son off at school where he could duck into the girls’ room, slap on lipstick and demand everyone address him as “She/Her.” And you’d be the last…

Oops! That’s Not Your Tax Form
by Kerry Dougherty Not good enough, Virginia Department of Taxation. Not even close. It’s not enough to apologize and tell the roughly 15,000 Virginia Beach taxpayers whose personal tax information on their 1099G forms was sent to the wrong address to simply hold tight until the correct document finds its way to them. Those forms…

War of Words in the House of Delegates
By Kerry Dougherty I’ve always thought that it would be a humbling experience — and an immense honor — to be elected to serve in Virginia’s General Assembly, the oldest continuous law-making body in the New World. To be part of the House of Delegates is to follow in the footsteps of great men of…

Chap Petersen to the Rescue?
by Kerry Dougherty Don’t look now, but Virginia may have its own version of maverick U.S. Senator Joe Manchin. I’m talking about Democratic State Sen. Chap Petersen of Fairfax County. The lone member of Virginia’s General Assembly — from either party — with the stones to stand up to former Gov. Ralph Northam’s despotic executive…

Suddenly, Democrats Don’t Like Executive Orders
by Kerry Dougherty Good grief, they have no self-awareness, do they? I’m watching hysterical Virginia Democrats lose their minds because the new Republican governor issued an executive order that actually RESTORES civil liberties to Virginians. Yet, back when Ralph Northam was issuing one useless executive order after another, the left was silent. In fact, many…

The Great Unmasking
by Kerry Dougherty Excellent news for students in two Hampton Roads school districts. On Thursday, the ever-sensible Chesapeake School Board voted 7-1 to abolish its mask mandate. Beginning Monday, students in Chesapeake can breathe free again! The board is complying with an executive order signed by Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Saturday, removing the former governor’s…

AG Miyares and Safe Schools
by Kerry Dougherty On Day One in office, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares announced that his office would be investigating Loudoun County schools. He’s vowed to learn exactly how an accused sex offender who allegedly attacked one girl in May 2021 at Stone Bridge High was quietly moved to another Loudoun County school, Broad Run…

School Board Bullies
by Kerry Dougherty You’re guilty. I’m guilty. We’re all guilty. Admit it. At election time most of us know exactly who’s running for president, congress, governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, commonwealth’s attorney, treasurer, sheriff and city council. We study bond issues and constitutional amendments. We know how we’re going to cast our votes before we…
