Rising GOP Rock Star Alert:
Susan Stimpson Brings It

by Smitty Virginia is for lovers. . .of elections. There is a state convention in Richmond in May, to select the GOP slate for this November’s races for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General.

Campaigner In Chief Visits Newport News Naval Shipyard

by Smitty One of the big constituencies that has not yet been turned into a Democrat victim constituency is the military. There are a few reasons for this: The military is still sworn to support and defend the that 100+ year old document called ‘The Constitution’, as though the Dead White Dudes somehow knew that […]

Excellent Overview Podcast Of Virginia’s Tax Debacle

by Smitty Coffee and Markets serves up a thorough, insightful review of just how thoroughly jacked up Governor McDonnell’s Folly was.
