University of Richmond: Don’t Want The Name? Send Back The Loot.
by Kerry Dougherty Most of us didn’t pay attention last September when the University of Richmond Board of Trustees voted to remove the name of T.C. Williams from its law school because the Williams family who endowed the law school were slave owners. After all, U of R is a snooty rich kids’ school. Not…

Virginia Dems Refuse To Support Female Athletes
by Kerry Dougherty I’m old. Old enough to remember when there were sane members of Virginia’s Democrat Party. They’ve apparently died or left the building and the party is under the complete control of woke loons. Like Del. Eileen Filler-Corn, the former Speaker of Virginia’s House of Delegates, who recently pretended not to understand why…

AG Miyares Takes Aim At Lawless Parole Board
by Kerry Dougherty Never was the left’s affection for criminals more apparent than in the spring of 2020 when Virginia’s Parole Board, under the leadership of self-confessed “bleeding heart” Adrianne Bennett went on a madcap freeing spree. According to an exhaustive 66-page report released this week by Attorney General Jason Miyares, Bennett’s actions during just…

Three Warnings? You’re Out of a Job.
by Kerry Dougherty Unbelievable. If what Abby Zwerner’s lawyer said yesterday in her press conference is true, it wasn’t enough to sack only the superintendent of Newport News Public Schools over the near-fatal shooting of a first-grade teacher by an armed 6-year-old. A host of other indifferent school administrators need to join him in the…

Newport News School Chief About To Be Sacked
by Kerry Dougherty As I wrote this I debated whether or not to put a question mark at the end of my headline. Newport News School Chief About To Be Sacked? I decided against it. News reports seem certain that the Newport News School Board will vote tonight to fire School Superintendent George Parker for…

Chilling Revelations In The Saga Of The 6-Year-Old Teacher Shooter
by Kerry Dougherty Excuse my language, but what the hell is going on at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News? On Saturday, The Washington Post reported that school administrators there have downplayed threats of violence, apparently ignoring pleas for help from frightened teachers. One account claims that the same boy who shot and nearly killed…

Virginia Dems Loathe No-Parole Laws
by Kerry Dougherty What do you do if you’re a soft-on-crime Democrat legislator in a no-parole commonwealth? You get creative. You find ways around the no-parole law that took effect back in the mid-1990s when Virginia was experiencing a crime wave similar to the one sweeping parts of the commonwealth now. Democrats in the State Senate…

Mysterious Laptop May Hold Clues To Virginia Beach Mass Shooting
by Kerry Dougherty Most of the country is focused on the chaos taking place in Congress. That’s nothing compared to the slice of crazy unfolding in Virginia Beach. As best we can stitch together from Facebook and stories in The Virginian-Pilot, a member of the House of Delegates has been sitting on what could be…

Farewell to the Conscience of Virginia Beach City Council, John Moss
by Kerry Dougherty If you were in Virginia Beach on Wednesday morning, November 8, 2022, you could almost hear the sighs of relief. That collective exhalation came from the cronies on city council who would no longer have to deal with Councilman John Moss, who came in second in a three-way race for the newly…

Baby, It’s Cold Outside
by Kerry Dougherty On Sunday evening we headed over to the Sandler Center to see Ballet Virginia’s production of The Nutcracker. My granddaughter was in the corps of dancing Ginger Snaps. It was cold, for the Beach anyway. Temps were In the 30s. Please don’t laugh, Northerners. That’s frigid for these parts. I threw on…

Virginia Beach Throws Millions At the Family of Donovon Lynch
by Kerry Dougherty Oh, look. Virginia Beach just agreed to make the family of the late Donovon Lynch millionaires. The city announced Tuesday that the Lynch estate is getting $3 million. The city council approved the payout. You remember Lynch, don’t you? He was the 25-year-old who was shot and killed by a police officer…

Indictments For Loudoun County School Officials
by Kerry Dougherty Looks like Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares just turned up the heat on Loudoun County. When he was elected, Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed an executive order calling for an investigation into what happened in Loudoun County Public Schools, where an alleged predator in a skirt reportedly got a pass for raping one…

Youngkin Reacts To Raid By An ABC Goon Squad
by Kerry Dougherty In one of the most bizarre actions in recent memory, law enforcement on Friday raided Gourmeltz, a popular Fredericksburg restaurant, and confiscated its liquor and sales records because the owner in 2021 defied former Governor Ralph Northam’s long-defunct executive order that required liquor-selling establishments to abide by a host of nonsensical COVID-related…

We Don’t Pay Virginia Beach Cops Enough
by Kerry Dougherty On Monday, Virginia Beach Police Chief Paul Neudigate did something unusual: he released a video showing the fatal shooting of 28-year-old suspected car thief, Deshawn Whitaker, in a strip mall parking lot last week. Police are usually loathe to release dash cam and body cam footage in the immediate aftermath of…
