Here’s what the “brown pride” movement brings us, quite literally. Gangs, and their graffiti. As racial supremacists such as the Mexica Movement spew their filth about how “indigenous” people are superior to everyone else and are the sole legitimate inhabitants of the North American continent, young and idle [...]
Since the story broke about the Kaine Administration’s under-the-radar attempt to provide health insurance benefits to the “domestic partners” of state employees, not only has the Kaine Administration stuck with the crazy idea, but the homosexual lobby has gone to battle in support of it and think they can [...]
So which candidates for the House of Delegates in Prince William County got the most “bang” for their campaign “buck”? Once again we see that Delegate Bob Marshall once again is far more effective with his campaign finances than just about anyone else. And the least effective candidate this cycle? [...]
NOVATownHall has a great article today on Loudoun County Supervisor Andrea McGimsey, a hyper-liberal enviro-maniac who is trying to push through a county energy policy based on the discredited global warming hysteria. The proposed policy would require every home and business in the county be audited for energy usage, [...]
Some of our newer residents don’t benefit from growing up as part of American society and miss out on some important cultural lessons, to their detriment. Take for example the case of Artemio Rojas Sanchez, who decided that of all the places he could choose to remove his clothing [...]
The Kaine Administration’s attempt to sneak taxpayer-funded health benefits for the same-sex partners has broken from the blogosphere to the mainstream media today with a pair of articles in the Hampton Roads Pilot and the Northern Virginia Daily today, and no doubt it’s going to spread from there. [...]
This HOA couldn’t have inflicted a more serious self-inflicted head wound had it decided to hold a puppy barbequeue in the community commons. Unbelievable.
[...]In order to deal with some family issues that often take her out of the area, Neabsco School Board member Julie Lucas announced she will resign her seat, according to the News & Messenger. This is a huge blow to the board and the citizens of Prince William County, [...]
Stay tuned for some pretty cool announcements regarding the RPV Huffman Advance this weekend, of particular interest to all of you who for some reason can’t make it but would like to stay in touch with everything that’s going on. While posting on BVBL has languished a bit this week, [...]
UPDATE: Steve Hunt pulls out a big win with 51% of the vote!
A pretty respectable turnout tonight in the 37th District as between 1,700 and 1,900 voters showed up for the Republican primary. Surprisingly the race seems to between Will Nance, who mounted a pretty aggressive turnout effort, and Steve Hunt. [...]
Yeah, we’ve got an enormous budget shortfall that the General Assembly is going to grapple with, rest stops are closed and localities are challenged with dramatically less support from Richmond in their upcoming budgets. That’s not stopping DNC Chairman/Virginia Governor Tim Kaine from adding health coverage for adult non-dependents [...]
It’s not easy keeping up with maintenance and increasing capacity on a blog aggregator, and these days it appears to be even more challenging than usual. Two aggregators I find particularly useful in keeping up with what others are saying in Virginia have been failing this week, a frustrating return to [...]
On Tuesday evening Republicans will select their nominee for the special election in the 37th District and all indications are that Steve Hunt is heavily favored to win. Hunt has an impressive list of local endorsements, has maintained an enormous lead in our online poll, and as the only candidate with a record [...]
Before Congress and the Obama Administration continue to push forward with their jobs-destroying plan to address “global warming,” they better come up with some answers quickly about the growing evidence that the scientific process was subverted in order to push a political agenda. Over the past week a steady stream [...]
It’s getting time to bring the heat on, again. Perhaps not locally, as the Board of Supervisors has overall done a good job in implementing the Rule of Law Resolution and the impacts of illegal immigration are dramatically lower in the Prince William County area than they were several years [...]
Another election season that’s starting to get underway is in Manassas City, where Council members Steve Randolph, Andy Harrover and Marc Aveni are seeking re-election. So far the Dems haven’t made any noise about running candidates, while Republicans Harrover and Aveni have announced they’re going to run a joint [...]
This time Obama bows down to Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, following his previous bowing before the Japanese Emperor. Reportedly, North Korean dictator Kim Jung-Il is anxious to have Obama come visit so he can render similar honors.
H/T: Hope Is Not A Foreign Policy
[...]As a preview of the campaign he intends to run, Dave Marsden has pulled what Riley is describing as “A Steve Chapman” by renting a room in the 37th Senate District so he could qualify as a candidate. Some Democrats are aghast, as Marsden manages to establish for [...]
Once again, Austin Haynes is raising money for a good cause in his quest to be sort of a one-man United Way for the City of Manassas. He’s raised money for a number of charitable causes over the years with 24 hour swims and other tests of endurance and perseverance [...]
Can you believe this? Democrats even conducted a poll to try to figure out who to run in the 37th District, and all they could ultimately come up with was Dave Marsden!!! Apparently mounting a write-in campaign for a week-old dead carp was seen as too much [...]
Voters in the 37th District are being bombarded with robocalls and mailers — as many as five a day this past Saturday – from the Marianne Horinko campaign as she tries to win the Republican nomination to run for Ken Cuccinelli’s Senate seat. Before her run for the Senate I’d never heard of [...]
The “stimulus” passed by Congress and the Obama Administration has truly done a wonderful thing. It has expanded the number of congressional districts in Virginia beyond the eleven we currently have, and managed to create new jobs in them! I never thought something like this would be possible, but I [...]
Manassas Park City Councilman Peter Farrell resigned his position on the Governing Board last Friday according to the News & Messenger, just before his trial on charges of election fraud was scheduled to begin today. The comment from his press release stating that he was giving up simply because he was [...]
With the mainstream media so openly promoting homosexuality and hostile to traditional values, I guess the continued existence of “gay newspapers” was pretty much superfluous. Oh well, gone will be the days when conservative candidates could hold up stories from the Washington Blade as a means of inflaming their [...]
One of the big concerns for both parties going into this election year was the effect the election would have on redistricting, an inescapably partisan process where the House, Senate and Governor re-draw the electoral districts to reflect population changes and ensure roughly equal representation. The concern of both parties [...]
“Organizing For America”, the collective behind President Obama’s perpetual campaign, decided to lend some assistance to the beleagured Congressman Gerry Connolly this afternoon by holding a “thank you rally” in front of his office in Annandale. Four days ago, an email started rallying the Obama troops to come to the defense [...]
Once again, President Obama demonstrates his deep love and profound respect for the United States of America in this photo taken yesterday. He actually stood up for the National Anthem, and didn’t fidget once.
Meanwhile, Dictator Hugo Chavez of Venzuela behaves a bit differently in similar circumstances. Maybe Obama [...]

I was astounded to read in the November 11 “News & Observer” that Manassas Councilman Mark Wolfe is again reaching for the wallets of taxpayers in Manassas and Prince William County. We know already that he padded his request for arts funding to get $55,000 [...]

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling [...]
With 24 hour’s notice and on a weekday to boot, about 200 people showed up in front of Gerry Connolly’s district office in Prince William County to protest his support of Pelosi-ObamaCare, which is a pretty amazing turnout. Of particular note at this event, one of Connolly’s staffers was taking [...]
Lots of questions swirl around the blogosphere regarding when a special election in the 37th District will be held. Governor/DNC Chair Kaine was expected to delay calling the election until Democrats could actually find a qualified candidate who lived in the district, but today bwana notes that the timing might [...]
Here are some highlights from the Steve Hunt kickoff. Voters in the 37th Senate District would be hard-pressed to find a better candidate to represent them in the Senate of Virginia.
Who do you support to replace Cooch in the Senate?
Steve Hunt Someone else Marianne Horinko Will Nance
So Gerry Connolly voted for Pelosi-ObamaCare, and a lot of eleventh district residents are pretty upset from the looks of the comment sections in several posts. My question is, what are those of you frustrated by this going to do about it? I assume sitting on the couch isn’t in the [...]
Keith Fimian held a press conference in front of Gerry Connolly’s district office today where he delivered a tough critique of the current 2,000 plus page monstrosity of a bill that the House is debating. You’d think Democrats would at least allow consideration of some of the common-sense alternatives [...]
Not much of a surprise here, but the behavior of Gerry Connolly just seems like the gift that keeps on giving to bloggers.
Connolly has been telling people that he wasn’t sure how he would vote on the monstrosity of the ObamaCare bill and wanted to get more information and see [...]
So far it’s looking like this buffoon Dave Marsden, who barely escaped getting beaten by an under-funded, relative unknown in his House District race this week, is the most likely Democrat to run for the Senate seat now vacated by Ken Cuccinelli in the 37th Senate District. Marsden even has [...]
Now this should be interesting. Gerry Connolly has handed Keith Fimian a wagonload of political ammunition for his challenge over the past several days, and I’m betting he’s going to start using it right away. Bully for him!
Keith Fimian will be holding a press conference on Saturday, [...]
Welcome listeners of THE GREAT ONE, Mark Levin! (Mark refers to this post around minute 75 in his program)
Today there are lots of people trying to lobby their elected officials on the health care bill pending in Congress, and Gerry Connolly tried to get one of them arrested [...]
Right after the Democrats get spanked in Virginia and New Jersey, the Congress decides now is the time to bring up a health care bill that specifically includes providing care for illegal aliens, and Pelosi lapdogs like Gerry Connolly are squarely sitting in ground-zero in the fight raging today. [...]
Paul Nichols was a first-term delegate with lots of money, but wasn’t expected to personally work that hard for his own re-election. Rich Anderson looked promising as a challenger because he was willing to put in the time and effort to get elected. In the end, Anderson knocking on a [...]
“A mixed blessing is when your mother in law drives off a cliff, but does it in your new Cadillac.”
On the good news front, I don’t think there’s any way we’re going to have to deal with Jeanette Rishell as a candidate ever again. On the bad news front, [...]
When last night’s election returns started rolling in I and everyone else were stunned by a substantial early lead reported for Jody Wagner, where she was leading Bill Bolling by about 75%-25% while returns showed Bob McDonnell leading Creigh Deeds 60%-40%. As the evening wore on, Wagner’s lead slowly disappeared [...]
Now that Ken Cuccinelli is the AG-elect, there’s the question of who is going to run for his Senate seat. This is the man I think will be the next Senator representing the 37th District:
Who do you support to replace Cooch in the Senate?
Steve Hunt Someone else Marianne [...]We already know, for the most part, all the candidates who won or lost in yesterday’s election. They’re not the only ones with either a reason to celebrate or feel despair today. Plenty of others are, or should be caught up in the emotional wake of yesterday’s stunning results, and [...]
What a night.
Bob McDonnell crushes Deeds 59-41, Bill Bolling wallops Wagner 56-44, and Ken Cuccinelli pounds Shannon 58-42. Republicans pick up what looks to be six seats, with Morefield, Villanueva, Stolle, LeMunyon, Greason, Garrett, Anderson and Comstock winning, and Hamilton and Lopez coming up short. Democrats also manage to lose [...]
