Governor Kaine’s Terrorism Connection
26 September 2007 | Virginia Politics | 21 Comments
Courtesy of Little Green Footballs, who broke the embargo on this story: “Outrage of the Week: Leader of Muslim Brotherhood Front Group Appointed to Virginia Commission on Immigration”. Yep, this guy who makes virulent anti-semetic rants about how Israel, and who is linked to the terrorist organization Muslim Brotherhood is who Governor Kaine thinks should […]

Three Strikes, And Jeanette Rishell is OUT!
26 September 2007 | Jeanette Rishell, 50th HOD District | 20 Comments
The Gainesville Times took up the brewing battle over Jeanette Rishell’s negative campaign in an article today, pinning Rishell down on what she meant by her unsourced and undocumented claims that Jackson Miller somehow doesn’t care about illegal immigration, voted to raise his own pay, and enriched himself with his votes on the Manassas City […]

Cooch Buries Oleszek
26 September 2007 | Fairfax County, Virginia Senate | 3 Comments
Chris over at Mason Conservative has a very good post up about the debate that suddenly came together between Senator Ken Cuccinelli and Janet Oleszek. About the only thing that Janet seems to have going for her is that she has a “D” next to her name in Fairfax County. This has got to hurt:

A New Jail For Illegal Aliens
26 September 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Virginia Politics | 120 Comments
The Virginia Crime Commission is apparently considering building a detention center specifically to house illegal aliens awaiting deportation, which predictably has the illegal alien lobby up in arms, and a lot of the electorate sort of scratching their heads. It’s pretty clear that there’s not enough prison space in Virginia, but the rationale for […]

Virginia Immigration Commission Starts With An Outrage
25 September 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Virginia Politics | 217 Comments
At today’s inaugural meeting of the Virginia Commission on Immigration, the faction of the Virginia Republican leadership that has consistently been blocking attempts to reform state policies regarding illegal aliens joined forces with Governor Kaine’s liberal appointees to the commission denied Delegate Bob Marshall the chairmanship of the commission. Delegate Marshall was the sponsor […]

House Democratic Caucus Chair Brian Moran will be in Manassas tomorrow morning to speak at a fundraiser for Jeanette Rishell.

25 September 2007 | Prince William County | 52 Comments
Pictured at left giving his support at a rally of Mexicans Without Borders is Manes Pierre, the Goofy Party candidate for the Neabsco school board seat. He’s the subject of a Washington Post article in today’s metro section entitled “Fired Teacher Wants To Join School Board“. Kudos to the Post for delving in […]

Rack n’ Roll Shuts Down
24 September 2007 | Rack & Roll Scandal | 21 Comments
It’s all over for the Rack n’ Roll Billiard Club. After suffering years of abuse from city officials who did everything they could to destroy his business, Dave Ruttenberg finally had to close Rack n’ Roll and has a mountain of unpaid debts. Justice delayed has certainly become justice denied for this man […]

WashPo: The New Vast Right Wing Conspiracy
24 September 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Virginia Politics | 13 Comments
The Washington Post editorializes in a news article that appears in today’s edition that all of this recent talk about illegal aliens is some sort of a strategy to somehow make voters forget about the “abusive driver fees” that were included in HB3202. It’s amazing that the talking points of Razing Kaine start showing up […]

Gang Rape of Fourteen Year Old Confirmed
24 September 2007 | Crime | 55 Comments
Earlier this month I reported a tip that I’d gotten about a rape at the Prince William County Fair of a fourteen year old girl. That story is looking very solid, as the parents of the girl in question have contacted me and have a truly harrowing story to tell. In this case, a young […]

Let’s Go To The Video Tape (#5)
24 September 2007 | Rack & Roll Scandal | 15 Comments
Earlier this month, the Manassas Park Planning Commission derailed the attempted railroad of Rack n’ Roll Billiards Club owner Dave Ruttenberg after rejecting calls by City Attorney Dean Crowhurst and Vice-Mayor Brian Polk to quickly vote to revoke the Conditional Use Permit of the business without having any time to review the information presented by […]

The Effects Of Gerry Connolly’s Neglect
23 September 2007 | Fairfax County | 12 Comments
So Gerry Connolly says he won’t “get on the bandwagon” in a letter to the editor published in the Washington Post today. Not much of a surprise, given that he’s happily presided over the mess that’s been developing in Fairfax over the past few years without taking any efforts to address the problem of illegal […]

Dems Propose Dumb Ideas. Also, Sun To Rise Tomorrow.
23 September 2007 | Illegal Aliens, Prince William County | 115 Comments
Democrats in Prince William County seem to have have settled on some sort of joint policy in regards to the illegal alien problem, the centerpiece which is advocating for a $10,000 fine for businesses that hire illegal aliens. Now if these folks were running for Congress, I’d be pretty excited about a plan like […]

Connolly Claims “Do Nothing” Is Working
22 September 2007 | Fairfax County, Illegal Aliens | 36 Comments
While Gerry Connolly is touting a supposed drop in crimes associated with gang activity according to a Washington Post article, the article entirely fails to mention that the Northern Virginia Gang Task Force, brainchild of Congressman Frank Wolf, has been actively working to deport criminal illegal aliens with the cooperation of dedicated personnel from the […]

International Press On Local Illegal Alien Issue
22 September 2007 | National Politics, Illegal Aliens, Prince William County | 25 Comments
The Canada Free Press has a fascinating article on the immigration debate which should almost be considered required reading for it’s depth and scope, and also makes mention of what’s been happening in our corner of the world. Not only is the rest of the country watching, but apparently some parts of the world […]

Don’t Hurt The Sign
21 September 2007 | Manassas City | 182 Comments
The Manassas Journal-Messenger is reporting that some people who have disapproved of the ugly and completely over-the-top sign at the corner of Liberty and Prince William Streets was the object of attempted vandalism the other day. Although the sign is pretty outrageous, and generates some pretty strong emotions, it’s something that we actually should be […]

I’ve been out of town for the past two days and from a few phone calls I’ve gotten it seems as if there’s been a lot happening while I’ve been away. Stonewall Middle School got locked down at some point because of a report of a gunman in the area, Chris Royse has a debate, […]
