Democrats are so dang compassionate, aren’t they?

Most of us who are griping about Taylor Swift don’t care about her politics. We just want our football back.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin has named Patricia West, a super-qualified retired Virginia Beach judge, to head the parole board and Dems are trying to block her confirmation. They fear she’ll be too tough on criminals.
Beach police are not releasing the make or model of the SUV that went off the pier to avoid causing a panic. Huh?
Back when newspapers were good a grizzled copy editor - even one reeking of whiskey - would have told the reporters to go back and ask the cops why no divers were sent to try to save whomever was in the car. There must have been a reason.
The backlash against Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in higher-ed and the corporate world may be gathering momentum across the country, but the University of Virginia is rolling out a new DEI initiative oblivious to the shift in the national mood.
SB517 and HB 568 would eliminate the exemption from state recordation taxes for the Virginia Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) as well as the tax exemption for real and personal property owned by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The House Bill passed the House Finance Committee in a 12 to 10 (presumably party-line) vote.
The Democrat Party has turned into a death cult, preoccupied with abortion, euthanasia, child mutilation and sterilization. It favors re-installing revolving doors on prisons and allowing unvetted illegal aliens in the country with no regard for the safety of Americans.
Although a newcomer to state politics, Youngkin had the data and evidence to show the correlation between the lowering of expectations for students and schools under his two Democratic predecessors and declining achievement on state and national assessments.
The big question is, who the heck is Ryan L. Binkley, the second name on the ballot?
In recent years Virginia’s Democrat Party has taken a hard left turn. It’s now infested with climate crazies. They’re not happy that rural counties are desperately trying to preserve their agricultural heritage - and Virginia’s breadbasket - by limiting how much land greedy solar companies can gobble up with their juicy tax incentives and government grants.
This is a reminder that elections have consequences. Vote these out-of-touch lefties into positions of power and prepare for John Kerry-Greta Thunberg-Justin Trudeau approved authoritarianism.
Though some of today’s political leaders and commentators may try to tell us that the American Dream is dead – or was always a myth – they are wrong.
One bill that certainly is heading for Governor Glenn Youngkin’s desk is the increase in the state’s minimum wage to $15 an hour as of two years from now.
Not everyone - or even most - of those who will vote for Trump this fall is doing so because they think the former president is a terrific guy and a role model. They’re pragmatists. They simply look back on the years Trump was in office are realize that even with covid, the country was in much better shape than it is now.
Not everything is about race or gender. Sometimes public officials engage in slimy practices and when they do, they risk being exposed.
The emphasis on DEI in hiring is rampant in the airline industry, which laid off or offered early retirement to hordes of employees at the outset of covid, when no one was flying.
