Manassas & Manassas Park Cities Democratic Committee

Back to Hal:  When I saw his video about transportation on Hal’s FB page, I couldn’t help but comment that as the City of Manassas Representative, he missed 34 Northern Virginia Transportation Authority meetings, the most missed by any NVTA rep.  Low and behold, my comment was deleted and now I have been blocked.  Not the brightest move if you ask me.  Is this how he handles confrontation?  Reject and…

I know.  I know.  I should be just focusing on our “pal Hal” but I have to focus on Carly instead today. I’ve previously referred to Carly as Ann Coulter without the charm.  I couldn’t put my finger on it, but it came to me today after watching her and reading about her photo-ops that Ann is probably not the best doppelganger for Carly.  No, it’s Karen Crowder, the Tilda…

The Prince William County Bar Association is organizing a Candidates’ Forum for the four candidates for Commonwealth’s Attorney and Clerk of the Court for Friday, October 23, from 7:00-8:30 PM.  The forum, which will be open to the public and free of charge, will be held at Manassas City Hall, 9027 Center St, Manassas VA 20110.  Please attend to support incumbent Paul B. Ebert, Democratic candidate for Commonwealth’s Attorney, against…

AAH, oh how Hal is raking in the bucks from the Virginia GOP.  Not one but two color mailings arrived in today’s mail.  Somehow he thinks that being Mayor of a small town, okay city, creates some “experience” that translates into an effective state Senator.  And reality check for Hal:  He had zero to do with the airport which opened in the 1960’s.  It has grown but not because of…

Let me start by revealing that I’ve become Pope obsessed.  I watched almost all day and for sure watched him address Congress.  I was guess that his speech pleased liberals more than conservatives. Most of what the Pope endorses sounds a lot like Bernie Sanders.  I would guess that the only position that is unaligned with the left is women’s reproductive rights.  But climate change, poverty, death penalty and immigration…

How ironic that when Pope Francis arrives, the GOP is in a snit.  That Pope is no scientist, they say.  I think someone with a Master’s Degree in Chemistry can identify himself as a scientist as opposed to say, Marco Rubio, a lawyer.  George Will has completely rejected the Pope entirely because of his views. And who knows what will happen tomorrow when the Pope addresses Congress.  When the Pope…

Sadly, Amethyst Women’s Care is closing on September 28, 2015 after providing care to women for the past 27 years.  Amethyst has been the only issue that has driven the candidacy of Bob Marshall, Aveni and Lovejoy because Amethyst also provides abortion services.  The owner of Amethyst is retiring.  She has been brave over the years.  Escorts were often necessary to protect the women who used Amethyst so they would…

A new mailer arrived yesterday with a comparison list between Hal and Jeremy McPike.  Hal loves to stretch the truth and make unsubstantiated statements. He did not increase pay for teachers as he had zero impact on any votes on that issue.  He might be in favor of increased pay but he can’t take credit unless he means back in 2006 when he voted for the ordinance that cost Manassas…

Well, I guess you could call it that.  Yes.  I actually stayed up and watched to the bitter end.  I came away with some new impressions that I can share.  First, let’s get The Donald out of the way.  I didn’t see anything that would change anyone’s mind who likes him.  He hung in there albeit his lack of concrete foreign policy plans.  Nonetheless, I would give him a pass….

On Monday, September 14, Bernie Sanders appeared before 2000-3000 folks at the Manassas Fair Grounds.  I could not attend but as I understand it, he addressed subjects such as income inequality, racism/police brutality and respect for the police.  Earlier in the day, he addressed the students at Liberty University.  I noticed that he was very honest and straight-forward about his positions.  His social positions are inconsistent with Liberty University’s culture….
