For all of my Republican friends who are contemplating voting for Donald, please take some time to listen to one of his entire political speeches that he routinely gives at his rallies.  The only thing I can compare his rants to are the ramblings of patients I was assigned to as a student nurse at St. Elizabeth’s hospital.  It’s called flight of ideas.  It’s hard to know if Donald is…

It’s time to start thinking about the November election not just in terms of the President, but also almost more importantly, our representative to the House of Representatives.  Babs Comstock was elected mostly on the coattails of her mentor and long time Congressman Frank Wolf.  Babs is one of the most hard right conservatives in Congress.  She is 100% anti-woman and was a big supporter of Bob McDonnell’s vaginal ultrasound…

Governor McAuliffe has vetoed HB 1371, Delegate Jackson Miller’s (R-50th) bill that would have prohibited Virginia localities from requiring contractors that perform services for the locality to provide their employees “with a wage or employment benefit that exceeds the requirements of state or federal law.” As the Governor’s statement explains, [a] number of localities have enacted wage policies designed to allow the employees of contractors performing services for those localities…

Last night I watched Donald Trump give his “news conference” which, as someone else observed, seemed more like an infomercial.  There he was with his wine, steaks and whatever pimping them.  For what  it’s worth, the “press conference” consisted of 15 minutes of responding to reporter’s questions (while insulting them) and 45 minutes of self-aggrandizement.  The whole tone was spookily disturbing.  I almost felt like I was watching the mental…

By now, the snow is no longer novel.  Our kind neighbor across the street cleared our driveway with his snowblower and another neighbor helped dig out one of our cars.  How nice to live in a neighborhood without discord and full of cooperation. I guess we really can’t analogize this spirit to the current Presidential race.  The best it can be described is “free-for-all”.  Indeed, I am stumped as to…

Here’s Bob’s latest offensive bill: 2016 SESSION HB 385 Discrimination; ordinances or regulations prohibiting. Introduced by: Robert G. Marshall SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED: Discrimination; ordinances or regulations prohibiting. Prohibits any political subdivision of the Commonwealth, including a locality or school board, from enacting an ordinance or adopting a regulation prohibiting discrimination on any basis other than race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, national origin, age, marital status,…

It’s a new year but xenophobia reigns supreme from the mouth of Donald Trump.  What is characterized as “political correctness” by the Republican leader, is an appeal to mostly white men of a certain age with high school diplomas (maybe).  Their displays of disrespect and intolerance are excused by what is supposedly threats against their economic status.  Who cannot be reminded of McCarthyism from the 1950’s right here in the…

So what’s the party of Donald Trump up to now?  It seems that the local GOP is, as usual, trying to limit the vote.  Notwithstanding that the GOP requires an oath for their March primary, now through Virginia Senator Carrico (R), the party of hate and division as well as derision, wants to limit voting rights by providing a mechanism whereby our local elections can be held at the time…
