Virginia has both the Constitution and common sense on her sideRemember when we all had to prove our citizenship to renew our driver's licenses a few years back? This was a result of the federal Real ID Act of 2005. It basically provides that a state must verify that one is a U.S. citizen or is here legally ...

Could blue survive without red?We are all Americans. That said, there have been efforts for years to divide us for perceived political reasons. Those who live in the bigger cities often tend to look down their noses to those who don't. We have ...

We need to be smart about our immigration lawsThere is a lot of talk about immigration reforms. As expected, the left wants an omnibus immigration reform. The answer should be a resounding no to any further omnibus bills of any type. Are immigration reforms even needed?...

The Democrats' democracy vs. the GOP's republicOne of the Democrat sound bites is that Republicans want to destroy our democracy. Someone should submit a few questions to them. 1. What is their definition of democracy? 2. Where is that definition in our Constitution? 3. Specif...

Does the presence of guns cause crime?Does the presence of guns cause crime? That is what the left would have us to believe. Everyone knows about Switzerland and true military weapons kept in many Swiss homes yet with very low rates of gun crimes. Where would we ...

Putting Roe in perspectiveToday the Left is quite upset with the overturning of Roe v. Wade. A reading of the opinion would lead any rational person to understand why it had to be overturned. It was policy legislation by the court, not their function, in an area over which ne...

Pelosi's WatergateThere has been much written lately about the similarity of Watergate and Special Counsel John Durham's revelations about the Clinton campaign and others spying on Donald Trump, both as a candidate and a sitting president. There is also th...

We need to re-imagine behavior, not policingObama recently said that we need to "re-imagine policing." Without getting into whatever he meant by that, re-imagining policing would be a waste of time, effort, and money, which is always a major part of any Democrat "solu...

Photo ID and voting: Where the real focus should beInstead of all the effort to ban government-issued photo IDs as a requirement to vote, which opens the door for voting fraud, why not instead protect the integrity of our elections and attack the problem itself by spending the time and money assuring...

73 million people can be a formidable groupWhile the number may be even higher when the smoke clears, we know that at least 73 million people voted for President Trump's re-election. We also know this is an honest number. Regardless of the outcome of the fraud challe...

Joe and Hillary: Strange parallelsI could not help but notice a strange parallel between the Biden campaign of 2020 and the Clinton campaign of 2016. In 2016, Clinton had an email problem. She, her party, and the compliant press all tried to hide it, play it down, and d...

Questions for Joe BidenJoe Biden has thus far refused to respond to any questions regarding his son Hunter Biden, claiming that it is merely a smear campaign, unverified or emanated from Russia. This no longer holds water, as Hunter's attorney has made attem...

Do riot and COVID victims have an equal protection case against Democrat governments?In Democrat-run war zones like Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis and the like, the mobs were left free to take over areas, and police were ordered to stand down and let it happen, even giving the mobs a police precinct. Those Democrats ostens...

The Fourth and our FoundersThe Fourth of July is a day all Americans should pause and give thanks for the Founding of America. At the rate that those from all over the world have come and want to come here, other parts of the world should also give thanks....

Where are all the guns and ammo purchased under Obama?During the last two years of the Obama administration, some unusual purchases were made. Large quantities of ammunition were purchased, as were firearms, mostly for somewhat obscure agencies or agencies with no real need for such weaponry....

Our corporate dilemmaI am fortunate to be on the Board of Directors of a very successful corporation. We hired a new CEO a few years ago to turn our company around from the results of poor management by the previous CEO. He has done so. H...

The fallacy of elitismWho and what are the so-called elite? The mainstream media pundits certainly consider themselves an elite. So do "establishment" politicians on both sides of the aisle. Academics at liberal universities thin...

Cut the supply lineTo use a military analogy, you don’t win a war by focusing only what is in front of you. You may win that battle but lose the war. One approach is to look behind the lines and see what is the adversary’s supply line – i....

A way to thwart illegal votingIt has long been a Democratic ploy to get illegals into the country, pander to them, get them registered to vote, and hope they will vote for Democrats. Of course, the Constitution clearly provides that only citizens may vote in federal electio...

Protecting the Integrity of the VoteI have always thought it hypocritical at best for the Motor Voter Law to require states to register illegals to vote as they get their driver licenses. Yes, the person must check a box that he/she is a citizen, but there is no further checking....

Whom Do Politicians Serve?There lately has been much finger-pointing at what each side calls sees as the radicals in the opposing party. The left demonizes Ted Cruz, and the right criticizes Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters. Cruz, for example, recently took a...

Lacking Facts and Logic, Democrats Manipulate EmotionsLet us start with a simple premise: It is one thing to emote to an ideology, yet it is quite another to live out its reality. Generally, liberals tend to rely upon emotion to push their agenda, while conservatives tend to rely more on pragmatis...

Why Voter Photo Identification Is Crucial to Our RepublicVoter identification requirements have been a source of contention for some time, despite increased evidence of voter fraud in recent elections. Generally, the left opposes such requirements, and the right favors them. As is usually the c...

Obama's bogus 'paid for' jobs bill claimThe president's new "Jobs Bill" will take over $400 billion from taxpayers over ten years to pay for it, but the expenditures will be authorized right away. There is, however, an inconvenient truth about which the president has failed to remind...

Subsidies and the deficitWe are facing deficits that can and will cripple our nation if not addressed. Perhaps our new Congress should look at cutting subsidies as part of our efforts to reduce our spending and thus our deficit. As of January, there are now more than 2,000...
