Martin Luther King was a great leader and peace activist. Martin Luther King was killed in Memphis as he stood for civil rights and unions. He was killed by a racist with a gun. Martin Luther King will be honored by many this coming Monday but it seems that many more will dishonor his memory with…

The ongoing battle to flip the Virginia House of Delegates on Tuesday is a good preview of can be expected this time next year. Currently, Virginia’s Republican Party is in full meltdown mode over the likely Democratic takeover coming on Nov. 5.

The RNC merger into Trump 2020 is proving a disaster for candidates not named Trump
There’s fewer people I have less respect for than Ronna Romney McDaniel. She is the epitome of what has become of the GOP: hypocritical, bigoted, financially reckless, and of course, completely submissive to Trump. How submissive? He literally instructed her to drop the “Romney” from her name—and she actually complied. Really. She now goes by…
Finally, a “Dr Feelgood” political story out of Virginia!
I swear to God, I’d rather be lucky than good. Usually, I have to kick and scratch, fight and scream, to find something interesting to write to you guys about. But every once in a while, an egg comes crashing through the windshield and lands right in your lap, as if a golden goose were…
Taking the “high road” is fine, but…
just remember one thing, the higher the road, the steeper the drop off at the edge of the shoulder. Everybody agrees, believing in God is a perfectly acceptable personal choice, but when do evangelicals become an insufferable pain in the ass? When they pull that “holier than thou” crap. Mike Pence is a perfect example,…
DFA Keeps Up The Call For Gov. Ralph Northam's (D. VA) Resignation

A Democratic trifecta in Virginia for 2019?? You've come a long way, baby.
The throwback cheesy ads for Virginia Slims had a point. I grew up in the Tidewater area 40 years ago. Race mixing was seriously looked down upon, the confederate flag was everywhere, and we didn’t celebrate Martin Luther King Day—it was officially called “Lee-Jackson-King” Day. And the kids—we were brutal. The worst insult in the…

These “new” Democrats have a powerful weapon at their disposal. I hope they use it often.
If you pay attention to polls, as I sometimes do, you'll notice one universal truth, everybody thinks that congress sucks. The only poll I have been able to find that gives congress positive marks is the latest R/T poll of the Kremlin. Those guys think we're knocking it out of the park. But everybody on…
