MJM Explodes A Trash Bomb — In Front Of My House
24 August 2007 | Manassas City | 25 Comments
Wonder who is responsible for all that litter in the street today? Those blue bags laying in the middle of the street which you saw this afternoon? You can thank the Potomac News/Manassas Journal-Messenger, which has been distributing the Spanish-language “Centro de Prince William” version of it’s paper by apparently tossing large quantities of blue-bagged […]

A Question For Brian Moran
24 August 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Virginia Politics | 16 Comments
I just posted this question for House Democratic Caucus Chairman Brian Moran, over at VB Dems where he will be live-blogging at 3PM. I wonder how he’ll answer this:
Delegate Moran:
Thanks for being with us today.
Governor Kaine has the authority to join the Commonwealth in the Section 287(g) Program which would allow the State Police […]

Help Save Manassas Responds
24 August 2007 | Manassas Park | 17 Comments
Help Save Manassas has issued a statement in response to Manassas Park’s Governing Board smearing the concerns expressed by their constituents as the pursuit of a “vigilante agenda”, and strongly rebutted the arguments made that the City of Manassas Park can do nothing to protect it’s residents. Let’s see if the mainstream media […]

More Flagrant Bias By The MJM
24 August 2007 | Fairfax County, Prince William County | 5 Comments
Since when did the Manassas Journal-Messenger start running as news items fundraising event announcements for Democratic candidates? I hope they comply with Virginia election laws and report this as an in-kind contribution to the George Barker campaign, or at least allow Senator Jay O’Brien equal consideration.
What are the chances they’ll do neither? I’d […]

Our Increasingly Failing Public Schools?
24 August 2007 | Prince William County | 77 Comments
The Virginia Department of Education has released it’s listing of school performance on the Virginia Standards Of Learning days before the start of the 2007-2008 school year, and the picture in Prince William is pretty troubling. In Prince William County, one school changed it’s status from not meeting to meeting it’s annual yearly progress […]

Jeff Frederick: End Sanctuary Policies
24 August 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Virginia Politics | 33 Comments
Delegate Jeff Frederick is seeking to eliminate “sanctuary jurisdictions” in Virginia, which should really make the leadership in Fairfax and Arlington Counties howl. It’s long overdue. There’s an article in the Washington Times about this, and below is Delegate Frederick’s press release:

Sign The Petition!
23 August 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Virginia Politics | 39 Comments
If you think it might be a good idea for the Commonwealth to deport criminal illegal aliens after their detention ends rather than simply release them back into the community, you might want to sign this petition. Why would we want to permit illegal aliens convicted of rape, indecent liberties with a child, felony assault […]
Corey Riley Admits To A Felony?
23 August 2007 | Prince William County | 24 Comments
Corey Riley, who in today’s Washington Post admits that his non-profit organization provides benefits to known illegal aliens, is whining that the resolution unanimously adopted by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors apparently did not obtain sufficient input from “community organizations” before drafting this resolution. Undoubtedly this is a reference to Mexicanos Sin […]

Chris Core Says Slam Connolly’s Phones
23 August 2007 | Fairfax County, Illegal Aliens, Prince William County | 26 Comments
On today’s Chris Core show, Chris joined with Prince William County Chairman Corey Stewart in calling for Fairfax County Supervisor Gerry Connolly to participate in a regional effort to reduce the number if illegal aliens that reside in Northern Virginia. Chris read Connolly’s phone number and email address on the air, and is asking […]

NAMBLA Bandit Identified
23 August 2007 | Virginia Politics, Blogs | 8 Comments
The DWJ has a post up this evening uncovering the person responsible for setting up the redirect of the fake ODBA website to the National Man-Boy Love Association — it’s none other than Roscoe Reynold’s hired gun Joe Stanley of Yellow Dog Strategy. If this doesn’t demonstrate that old Roscoe needs retirement, I can’t imagine […]

Lingamfelter Announces Domestic Violence Initiative
23 August 2007 | 31st HOD District, Crime | 13 Comments
Delegate Scott Lingamfelter has announced a domestic violence initiative that looks pretty solid, which will ensure that repeat offenders will be guaranteed some jail time and will not be able to obtain bail on their second and subsequent arrests. Perhaps his opponent William Day will join with Lingamfelter in this initiative?
I’d hope so, but […]

The Hard Left’s Support Of Illegal Aliens
22 August 2007 | National Politics, Illegal Aliens | 18 Comments
Oh, this is rich. Anonymous Is A Woman, the blogger who dutifully reported Jeanette Rishell’s “I want to be June With A Cleaver” comment as if she were a contemporary Lorena Bobbit, only to edit her post and remove all references to this statement after I reported on it, has now cross-posted a complaint that […]

The Manassas Park Statement On Illegal Immigration
22 August 2007 | Manassas Park | 31 Comments
I’ve obtained a copy of the statement agreed to at last night’s meeting of the Manassas Park Governing Board. The most egregious part this statement is the first paragraph, where the city essentially declares war against the hundreds of City residents who have become members of Help Save Manassas, which is clearly the organization […]

TPS Extended For Salvadorans
22 August 2007 | National Politics, Illegal Aliens | 43 Comments
There truly is nothing more eternal than a “temporary” federal program.
The Miami Herald is reporting that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced yesterday that it would extend “Temporary Protected Status” for Salvadoran illegal aliens for another 18 months.
Earlier this year, the immigration service agreed to continue TPS for an estimated 234,000 Salvadorans in the United […]

22 August 2007 | Virginia Politics, Blogs | 18 Comments
It’s official. BVBL is the big dog in Northern Virginia. From the regional blog traffic analysis appearing on NLS this morning:
Northern Virginia
BVBL: 610 Readers a Day (36.0%)
NLS: 572 Readers a Day (33.8%)
RK: 511 Readers a Day (30.2%)
How in the heck did BVBL become the largest blog in Northern […]

Gerry Connolly Has His Head In The Sand
22 August 2007 | Fairfax County, Illegal Aliens | 15 Comments
Gerry Connolly is returning fire after Prince William County Chairman Corey Stewart expressed his frustration with Fairfax County’s lack of action on the illegal alien issue, and is saying that the approach that Prince William County is taking in “ineffective”. What, is he reading from the same talking points being used by the Governing […]

Stafford Joins In
22 August 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Virginia Politics | 4 Comments
The DC Examiner is reporting that Stafford County has announced that the Rappahannock Regional Jail will participate in the Section 287(g) Program which allows local law enforcement and corrections officers to process for deportation illegal aliens who commit serious crimes, rather than leaving it up to the discretion of ICE whether an illegal alien should […]
287(g) Goes Regional
22 August 2007 | Prince William County | 36 Comments
It looks like the Section 287(g) Program at the Adult Detention Center is going to become a regional program after all, after having ICE say that regional agreements couldn’t be done. The funny thing about this is that only weeks ago, Manassas Park said they were opposed to participating in the 287(g) Program. […]
NLS Blog Traffic Analysis
21 August 2007 | Blogs | 2 Comments
NLS has an interesting post up about the traffic to NLS, Raising Kaine and BVBL in the first of what will probably be several posts about traffic to Virginia’s most visited political websites. In overall traffic, NLS narrowly leads RK, but the proportion of traffic that is coming from within Virgina might be the most […]

Not Smart
21 August 2007 | Blogs | 12 Comments
This is pretty disturbing. Myron Rhodes candidacy for clerk in Rockingham County is probably finished, after a prank by his wife to reserve the domain name for the ODBA and forward it to the National Man-Boy Love Association. Private Domain Registration is not at all that impenetrable veil of anonymity that some might […]
