So it appears that the federal government is implementing another destined-to-default high-risk mortgage plan. This new move is wrong-headed and dangerous, and only places more risk on the heads of American taxpayers and their children. Its simply not credible that those in charge of devising and implementing a program like this don't see what a [...]

The Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) will be holding a meeting tomorrow right here in Richmond (the meetings move around the state). This meeting should be particularly interesting given AG Herring/Governor McAuliffe's recent attack on concealed carry permit holders.

(Plan details) The county has plans to build miles and miles of new bike/pedestrian paths, spider-webbing all over the county. Current estimates are around $300 million over the next several years. And we know how cost overruns occur...the county was [...]
In a fall election when republicans had more seats to lose than to gain across the state, the party was able to hold the line and retain control of the VA senate with Glen Sturtevant's win over democrat Dan Gecker. This results in a senate majority for the GOP at 21-19 seats. This win is [...]
