Time for Sears-Reid-Miyares to Sing Kumbaya
by Kerry Dougherty It was nice while it lasted, Virginia. Our three-year respite from the radical tyranny of Democrat party rule could soon be over. There was a chance we could keep freedom alive in the upcoming statewide elections. All the party and its candidates had to do was join together to deliver a coherent…

Virginia’s GOP Better Get a Reid on the Situation
by Kerry Dougherty Here’s some free advice for Virginia’s Republican Party: Get your act together before the Democrats sweep the November elections and Old Dominion turns into California East. Intra-party squabbling and charges of extortion are not a winning message. Cut it out. Four years after stunning the nation by taking the commonwealth’s top three…

DEI Enforcers Muscle VA Beach Schools
by Kerry Dougherty Oh look. Far-left Democrats in the General Assembly want to play FAFO. For those unfamiliar, that means “eff around and find out.” And they’re gambling with Virginia Beach public schools to do it. If you have kids in those schools you should be on the phone telling those radicals to back off…

Any Wonder No One Trusts Legacy Media?
by Kerry Dougherty Far be it from me to offer advice to the stupidest businessmen and women alive – news media executives – but here’s a thought. If you’re wondering why no one trusts you or wants your products anymore, consider the simple, long-ago mission of the news industry: Tell the truth to the public.…

Far Left Stages Polident Protests
by Kerry Dougherty “Region Rises Up”? Seriously? Another case of an excitable weekend headline writer sacrificing accuracy for alliteration. The Hampton Roads Region has a population of about 1.7 million. If a couple of thousand of sore losers gathered with hand-lettered protest signs in Norfolk on a sunny Saturday, that hardly merits such a sweeping…

Drive a Stake Through the Heart of Wokeness in Public Schools
by Kerry Dougherty Do you need another reason to get your kids out of public school? Here ya go: Fox News reports that a Fairfax County high school, home to what was once the best school system in the country, just saw its hallways decorated with ABCs for Women’s History month. Naturally, the display was…

Buckle Up, Virginia Beach. City Hall Mid-Wits Are Coming For Your Money.
by Kerry Dougherty I tossed former Virginia Beach Councilman, John Moss, a multiple choice question when I talked to him yesterday: Is the proposed Virginia Beach budget better, worse or about the same as what we’ve come to expect from the fools at City Hall? “Worse,” he replied. “I’d say much worse. “ Due to…

Nutrition-Free Food And SNAP
by Kerry Dougherty Let’s check in on the left — and paid social media influencers — to see what they’re screaming about today, shall we? Oh boy, this is a good one: they’re livid that food stamp recipients in the SNAP program may be prevented from using their government assistance to buy junk food. You…

Petitions Don’t Save Beloved Businesses
by Kerry Dougherty One of my pals texted me last weekend to see if I wanted to go to a movie. There was a time when we went almost weekly, but, like many other film lovers, we got out of the habit when our idiot governor closed movie theaters during covid. Don’t get me started…

Federal Workers: No Place to Hide
by Kerry Dougherty Do indignant federal workers who act as if it’s beneath their dignity to account for their work hours have any idea how petulant and entitled they seem to the rest of us? Apparently not. This woman is griping that she has two days to knock out five bullet points about what she…

End of Watch
by Kerry Dougherty We don’t pay police officers enough. Then again, there isn’t enough money in the world to fairly compensate these men and women who put on the uniform and wade into the cesspools of our cities — areas most of us avoid — so we can sleep soundly in our beds at night.…

Gaza Gala: This Sunday at UVa
by Kerry Dougherty Let’s speak plainly today, shall we? Charlottesville — and the once-great university there, UVa — is preparing to host a Palestinian-fest on Sunday. It’s being billed as a “charity banquet” sponsored by the radical Students For Justice in Palestine, or SJP. In case you’re unfamiliar with the SJP, the organization was founded…

Va. Lawmakers Ban Phones in School, Remove Punishment for Breaking The Law
by Kerry Dougherty In principle, legislation is usually preferable to executive orders. I’m talking at the state and federal level. They can’t be overturned with the flash of a pen by the next executive, for one thing. This is why Congress needs to act quickly to enshrine President Trump’s executive orders in law. But when…

Mark Warner Needs A Thesaurus
by Kerry Dougherty For years, they’ve worked as an adjunct to the Democratic National Committee, obediently trotting out talking points and providing their critics with hilarious montages of these mid-wits spouting the exact same lines. With their heads spinning since Donald Trump became president, the left has latched onto a tired word to characterize what…

Virginia to Stop Mutilating Children
by Kerry Dougherty Health centers at the University of Virginia and Virginia Commonwealth University have stopped mutilating children! Not that the doctors are eager to stop. These patients-for-life are big moneymakers. They’re being forced to leave the kids alone. It took an executive order from President Donald Trump plus a stern warning letter from Virginia…
