Dorothy McAuliffe Bigfoots Fellow Democrat Dan Helmer
by Kerry Dougherty I almost feel sorry for Democrat Del. Dan Helmer. OK, not really. He desperately wants to go to Congress and his twice-thwarted dream seemed within reach when Democrats drew a lobster-shaped district just for him in their new gerrymandering scheme. Now it looks like Helmer’s going to get his teeth kicked in. Again. …

Terror at ODU: We Don’t Have to Live Like This.
by Kerry Dougherty One ODU professor is dead and two ROTC students were injured Thursday, shot by an Islamic jihadist while attending class. The shooter? Mohamed Jalloh, a naturalized American citizen from Sierra Leone who traveled to Africa on three separate occasions in 2015 to join ISIS. Instead of being executed for treason, as he…

March 12, 2020. Our First Day in Covid Hell.
by Kerry Dougherty Never forget what happened six years ago today. And how power-drunk despots like former Gov. Ralph Northam used a pandemic – and phony science – to stomp all over the constitutionally protected rights of Virginians. It could happen again. You’ve been warned. Yep, it was March 12, 2020, when Northam declared a state…

Referendum Ad Wars
by Kerry Dougherty Look who’s doing dabbling in investigative journalism! It’s my old employer, The Virginian-Pilot. Yep, they were so stunned by “Vote No” campaign literature aimed at black voters on the upcoming redistricting referendum, that they went digging. Figures. In a story headlined “Who’s Behind An Anti-Redistricting Flyer Invoking Jim Crow?” the paper asked…

Fairfax Prosecutor Was Warned Repeatedly About Violent Illegal Alien
by Kerry Dougherty On Wednesday we wrote about the cruel – and preventable – murder of 41-year-old Stephanie Minter in Fairfax County last month. She was stabbed to death at a bus stop allegedly by Abdul Jollah, an illegal alien and a one-man crime spree. He had been arrested at least 30 times for everything…

Spanberger’s Illegal-Aliens-First Agenda
by Kerry Dougherty Sadly, the House of Delegates holds the power of impeachment for “mal-administration, corruption or endangering the state” and controlled by far-left politicians who agree with Spanberger’s Illegal-Aliens-First agenda. So there is no path to abort her governorship. Yet. Perhaps you heard, on Monday, February 23, a 41-year-old woman named Stephanie Minter was…

Virginia Dems Lose Leftist Media Support Over Gerrymandering
by Kerry Dougherty Maybe, just maybe, Virginia Democrats have gone too far. Their lopsided congressional district map, designed to create safe districts for handpicked Dem candidates may simply be too brazen to get a nod from voters in April. Looks like brazen election rigging is a bridge too far for the leftist fan club of…

Dems Don’t Want To Talk About Their River Of Poop
by Kerry Dougherty In the past month Virginia’s two senators and governor have been busy on social medial. Mark Warner interrupted his relentless whining about President Trump long enough to demand that Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth be sacked and to blame Robert Kennedy for an outbreak of measles among adults. Tim Kaine constantly blamed…

The Washington Post Is an Unprofitable Disaster
by Kerry Dougherty When did legacy journalists and the politicians who love them become such a squawking bunch of overwrought socialists? When news broke yesterday of a bloodbath at The Washington Post – 300 employees were laid off – a chorus of imbeciles rose up to demand that owner Jeff Bezos prop up the losing…

Cold? Who’s Cold?
by Kerry Dougherty It was late Sunday night when my son blew in the back door. I was standing just inside, fleece, rain jacket, hat and mittens on, leashes in hand, about to walk the dog. “Wanna come with me?” I asked. “Sure,” he replied to my surprise. It was about 38 degrees and drizzling. The exact…

Judge Smacks Down Democrat Power Grab
by Kerry Dougherty Finally. A common-sense court decision that derails the Democrats’ redistricting chicanery in Virginia. For the time being, at least. The radical left in Virginia is so determined to deprive conservatives of proportional representation in Congress that they intend to appeal the circuit court ruling that came down Tuesday. The issues are really…

Light Rail: The Bad Idea That Will Not Die
by Kerry Dougherty Good grief. I thought we drove a stake through the heart of the foolish notion of extending light rail to Virginia Beach back in 2016. Apparently not. Del. Alex Askew, Democrat of Virginia Beach, is asking Richmond to commission a two-year study to determine the feasibiity of extending Norfolk’s failed light rail…

Abigail Spanberger: The Left’s Trojan Horse
by Kerry Dougherty Remember last summer’s gubernatorial campaign? All of candidate Abigail Spanberger’s happy talk about affordability, moderation and working across the aisle? Congratulations, voters. You got played. If there was any lingering hope that the Democrat majority in Richmond would wield their power judiciously that was laid to rest this week. It’s clear now…

The BIG ONE Is Coming!!
Maybe. by Kerry Dougherty All week American meteorologists have been vibrating with joy. Sleeves rolled up, laser pointers trembling as they assure us that THE BIG ONE is coming. To the South! Every forecast included the words “once in a lifetime” or “historic.” Southerners were ordered to buy milk, bread and a sled dog. “I’m…
