Jack Wilson, The Republican Party and “The Last Straw” Reprinted with permission of Peter Churins, editor, The Charles City Conservative Newsletter At first glance the title is rather deceptive in that it has elements of ambiguity that could be construed from a number of perspectives, especially the meaning of “The Last Straw.” In a chaotic world of fake news, guile and deceit, it could imply a number of things. Two immediately come to mind. The first could allude to [...]
Over just the last couple of years, many saw the harbingers of the clear and present threats we witness today. We witnessed the torrents of dark money flooding Virginia from bad people and groups supporting bad candidates winning the last couple of election cycles. We watched as dangerous and subversive movements funded by dangerous and subversive billionaires went on the offensive throughout the state. We learned of foreign money pouring into Democrat campaigns and funding registration drives in immigrant [...]
How to address your Delegate and Senator after the election, before the start of the General Assembly Contact in writing to the campaign office listed at their election material if not the incumbent. Address the fact that the person is now YOUR representative in the General Assembly, citing what district you are in. Identify yourself and your affiliation.

The left wing mob has breached our General Assembly and will now impose their destructive and subversive ideology on all of us. And yes, Virginia, you can buy elections. The election that was bought and paid for by the deep pockets of left wing billionaires, labor unions and abortion mills will now rain down on our Commonwealth terrible and unacceptable laws. Elections do have consequences. The stage was initially set by the redistricting whose lines frequently and, so ever [...]
Leftist have always talked as if their ideas were the wave of the future. But their ideas are as old as mud. Anyone who thinks Leftist ideas are new simply doesn’t know that those ideas have failed in the past. Not just today in Venezuela and Cuba, or in the recent past like the Soviet Union. They failed in the aftermath of the French Revolution, and again in the revolutions of 1848. Socialism and communism have been around for more [...]
Virginia has been the prized and coveted target for the left particularly over the last several years. Considerable outside money, effort, and major operations from rich left wing power brokers have zeroed in on seizing power in Virginia. The end game is ultimately to create a climate in Va. where our rights can be steadily eroded and the ruling power of "we the people" becomes a right we freely abandoned for all kinds of "free stuff" as well as [...]

We are teaching "fairness," "climate change," "diversity," "tolerance," and "humanism," but not the 3 R’s. Is there a way back to the basics of education? Overview: B.F. Skinner famously said “Give me a child and I’ll shape him into anything.” Lenin said “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” Are you [...]

The overriding themes are political power and economic control, not saving the planet. Overview: Energy policy is in the news daily. From “climate change” proponents and opponents, to how Dominion and Appalachian Power operate within Virginia, to what your gas and electric bills will be in the future, it touches [...]
BUDGET AND THE ECONOMY If you are a Tea Party member, you most likely remember the quote “it’s the economy, stupid!” Well, it still is. We believe in free market capitalism! Instead of addressing the need for appropriate checks and balances to ensure a balance between employer and employees, the current discussion in the media and among progressives is to demonize Capitalism and glorify Socialism.
