Jack Wilson, The Republican Party and “The Last Straw”

By |2020-06-25T21:53:45-04:00December 18th, 2019|Categories: Blog, Featured, Government, Politics|

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 [...]

A Bad Moon Arising

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 [...]

The End Game Cometh

By |2020-06-25T21:54:24-04:00October 15th, 2019|Categories: Blog, Elections, Featured, Government, Politics|

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 [...]

The Lull before The Gathering Storm

I have always felt blessed to be able to recognize the good and the eternal truths from the bad and deranged and not be confused over the confusion of others. The Tea Party and other patriot groups have been steadfast in their knowing and defending their convictions and their foundational principals. They have stayed the course over the last 10 years in the face of unprecedented attacks and, in some cases, up close and personal destruction. Whether by weaponized powerful [...]

Why We Might Lose the Virginia House and Senate

By |2020-12-23T09:28:05-05:00August 20th, 2019|Categories: Blog, Congress, Elections, Government, Politics|

By Susan Lascolette There’s no doubt that the Virginia House and Senate are operating under razor-thin political margins – a 2-seat difference in the Senate and a 1-seat difference in the House.  The elections on November 5th may be a tipping point. In the Senate: Eleven of the Democratic Senator candidates are running unopposed and another five have only an independent challenger.  In contrast, only one Republican Senator candidate is running unopposed and another four have just an independent [...]

No more hunting rifles

By |2020-12-23T09:28:17-05:00August 17th, 2019|Categories: Action Alerts, Blog, Elections, Featured, Legislative, Politics|

I don’t know if you heard, but the Virginia State Crime Commission is meeting next week to hear presentations and comments from the public regarding gun control bills. Red flag laws, waiting periods, local firearm bans... There’s even a bill that would make it a CLASS 6 FELONY to own many hunting rifles. This one of the biggest attacks on our 2nd Amendment rights that Virginia has ever seen, and some candidates for the General Assembly would take it even further. That's why I hope [...]
