Faisal Gill Reckless Driving Case Postponed
18 April 2007 | 51st HOD District | 50 Comments
The case involving Faisal Gill’s pending charge of Reckless Driving (Fairfax County General District Court Case Number GT07035772-00) has been continued from April 19th to June 21st, which postpones adjudication of this Class 1 Misdemeanor case until after the 51st District Convention. That’s unfortunate, since clearing himself of these charges before convention delegates would […]

Ebert Runs
18 April 2007 | Prince William County | 3 Comments
I had heard some rumors that the 69 year old Paul Ebert might be considering retiring rather than running for another term as Prince William Commonwealth Attorney. Today’s Manassas Journal-Messenger reports that Ebert has announced his re-election effort, dashing some faint hopes among Prince William County Republicans that Ebert might finally step down. […]
The Park’s Taj Mahal Gets Funding
18 April 2007 | Manassas Park | 22 Comments
Readers are reporting that the Manassas Park City Council decided to go forward with construction of a $33 million expansion to Cougar Elementary School and approved a bond issue for that project. The unnecessary extravagance of this project is stunning, with per-square-foot costs more than twice that of comparable projects in Prince William County. The […]

Another Tragedy, An Honorable One
17 April 2007 | Uncategorized | 4 Comments
Prince William County Firefighter Kyle Wilson died yesterday attempting to rescue victims of a house fire in Woodbridge. Not knowing that the residents of the house had evacuated, Wilson and a team of his fellow firefighters entered the building in search of any trapped occupants. Wilson became separated from the rest of his […]

Stolle And Norment Ethics Hearings
17 April 2007 | Virginia Senate | 1 Comment
Senators Stolle and Norment seem to be the targets of a closed ethics panel hearing to be held on April 19th regarding potential conflicts of interest, according to a press release by Attorney David Nixon. Apparently when the Senate was considering eminent domain reform this session, these Senators failed to fully disclose the extent […]

The Virginia Tech Police Department has officially identified the shooter in yesterday’s massacre of thirty two students as Cho Seung-Hui, a 23 year old senior at Virginia Tech.

Roemmelt Underwhelms
17 April 2007 | 13th HOD District | 6 Comments
Bruce Roemmelt, who is challenging Delegate Bob Marshall in the 13th District, has filed a positively embarrassing campaign finance report this period which might serve to demonstrate that running around the state pandering to “homosexual rights” activists isn’t exactly a very productive campaign strategy. After fundraising with the Virginia Partisans Democratic Gay & Lesbian Club […]
The Vultures Descend
16 April 2007 | Crime | 5 Comments
Internet vultures are gobbling up domain names which can be related to today’s Virginia Tech tragedy, including variants such as VaTechMassacre.com, VTMassacre.com and VirginiaTechMassacre.com. While this behavior is perfectly legal, I can’t imagine anyone having such moral failings as to think this would be a good idea. I would expect these domain names […]
Bill Bolling On Hannity & Colmes
16 April 2007 | Virginia Politics, Crime | 4 Comments
I just watched Bill Bolling’s appearance on Hannity & Colmes, and he did a fine job tonight. With so many others caught up in questions about what might have been done better, Bolling urged caution in making judgments, asked everyone to allow the investigation to complete before coming to conclusions, and refused to divulge information […]

16 April 2007 | Crime | 7 Comments
The following showed up on the VT message board a few minutes ago, which claims that the death toll may rise to 40, and provides an account that the shooting was prompted by a dispute over a girl. The authenticity of this information cannot be determined:
The Dems Flip Back
16 April 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Virginia Politics | 4 Comments
After initially questioning Senator Stolle’s actions in killing a number of bills in the General Assembly this year regarding illegal aliens in Virginia, it seems that the few Democrats who briefly succumbed to reason have been brought back into the fold by their more radical compatriots. Today Eileen Levandosky at VB Dems switched her […]
Massacre At Virginia Tech
16 April 2007 | Crime | 6 Comments
News reports, many with conflicting information indicate that there were multiple shootings at Virginia Tech today that left more than twenty people dead, and at least as many injured. Initial information seems to indicate that after one or two shootings, a lockdown was done which was then temporarily lifted, providing an opportunity for a […]

An Unexpected Message
16 April 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Manassas City | 4 Comments
I’ve been the president of Help Save Manassas for about two weeks now. Some of what has happened in this short time I’ve expected — lots of details, calls, meetings and a ton of emails I all knew would be required. I expected to get called names fairly often. I even thought […]
Party In Manassas
15 April 2007 | Manassas City | 3 Comments
The Manassas Republican Party’s annual (more or less) Gala will be held on Saturday, April 28th at the Portuguese Club in Manassas.
For those of you who don’t know, the Portuguese Club has some of the best desserts in Virginia. This is coming from Congressman Frank Wolf himself, who took a whole plate of them […]
Haymarket Gone Wild, Again
14 April 2007 | Prince William County | 3 Comments
Chief Jim Roop of the Town of Haymarket Police Department has yet another crisis to manage. This time it’s a workplace sexual harassment complaint filed by officer Benjamin Ishmael. That’s right, a fellow male police officer. Now before your head starts to spin, this involves crude and unprofessional language used in the […]

Sharon Pandak has filed with the SBE for a rematch against Corey Stewart for the Chairmanship of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors. After being soundly defeated last year, despite an election cycle that was among the most favorable for Democrats in recent memory, Pandak thinks she can overcome her weaknesses as a […]

Spanish Media Weighs In
14 April 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Manassas City | 10 Comments
While much of the mainstream press reaction to Help Save Manassas has been positive (with the exception of one editorial in the MJM), the Spanish media has had a somewhat different take on the formation of this new grassroots advocacy effort. In their view, Help Save Manassas is irredeemably racist, if if it’s not […]

The New “Hate America” Crowd
13 April 2007 | Illegal Aliens | 8 Comments
This is a video shot at a recent demonstration in Los Angeles, California, where radical reconquista and Azatlan activists showed us just how thankful they are for the privilege of being in the United States. In some areas of California radicals such as these have taken over entire communities, and […]

What’s Good For The Goose
13 April 2007 | Virginia Politics | 9 Comments
Apparently the Fredricksburg Free Lance-Star hasn’t had enough of the abuse it receives from publishing the names and addresses of concealed handgun permit holders. After extensive discussions with the Virginia Citizens Defense League, and observing the explosive reaction towards a Roanoke paper that decided to publish this information, the Free Lance-Star recently decided once […]
