“If I begin sacrificing my rights in order to save lives, then where does it end?”

Danger Will Robinson: New TCI Talking Point Begins With “Once in a Generation Opportunity…”

‘Virginia is for Behavior Modification’ as Dems Raise Gas Tax “to Keep People Home”
Virginia is reaping a whirlwind of pain as a result of letting Democrats take complete control of State Government. And while the anti-gun bills (and anti-speech bills) get most of the attention, if you elect Democrats, you will end up with higher taxes. Because they know what’s good for you.

So kids, what did we learn from Thursday’s House Session (03/05/20)?
We learned that the 37 bills that we spent time voting on today would have been all done on Feb 20th if we didn’t waste 4 hours on that day, at the Speaker’s discretion, reprimanding 8 legislators for not attending Sexual Harassment Training. Now we are behind in our schedule and we will have 350, … Read more

The permanent tourniquet
A tourniquet can be a lifesaver when serious bleeding is occurring. But when the bleeding has stopped — when the source of the problem has been identified, and fixed — you remove the tourniquet. Otherwise, you risk developing gangrene in the limb that needs the blood supply that you’ve just cut off. At least, that’s how it works in medicine.

School funding alone won’t help children out of poverty
To The Daily Sun, Haley Thomas’s 1/29/20 letter makes valid points about childhood and generational poverty, and their negative effects on peoples’ lives.
