Coming up: July 4th PWC Tea Party!
The Post Shills For Obama, For $25K A Pop
By Greg L | 2 July 2009 | National Politics | 3 Comments
The Washington Post is trying to sell private face-time with Administration officials, starting at $25,000? At this point, it seems the Washington Post Company is more interested in lobbying than committing “journalism”. I can’t say I’m all that surprised, really.
Will Webb And Warner Confirm This Nutcase?
By Greg L | 2 July 2009 | National Politics, US Senate | 6 Comments
This satire piece, appearing in the DC Examiner pretty much nails the judicial outlook of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. I can’t imagine any rational reason why Senators Warner and Webb would vote to confirm someone like this who clearly values racial preferences over the Constitution, other than following a mindless intent to support whatever insane decision Harry Reid and The Messiah Obama make. Unfortunately, instead of representing the people that elected them, that’s precisely the way these Senators have been voting. When it comes to a vote on Sotomayor’s nomination don’t expect them to listen to you, watch them follow this line of reasoning… (more…)
If The American People Find Out… They Will Rise Up
By Greg L | 1 July 2009 | National Politics, Illegal Aliens | 48 Comments
One of the larger groups pushing for Obamacare is none other than the ethnic chauvinists of the “National Council of La Raza”. Why would a group devoted to obtaining amnesty for illegal aliens and racial preferences for Latinos be weighing in so heavily in a national health care debate? It turns out that at least according to them, Obamacare isn’t about giving lower income Americans better access to health insurance and healthcare, it’s about providing public benefits to non-citizens, many of whom are Hispanic. Who would have guessed that, huh? (more…)
News & Messenger Can’t Take The Truth
By Greg L | 29 June 2009 | Manassas City, Prince William County | 28 Comments
What do Prince William County’s “Fugitive of the Week” and child rapist Marcos Danilo Reyes Banegas and recently convicted triple-murderer Anastacio Miranda Sanchez have in common? They’re both illegal aliens. You wouldn’t know that from reading the Manassas News & Messenger which did articles on both of these recently (see here and here) but failed to mention in either case the immigration status of these two vermin. I guess the News & Messenger would rather avoid the whole debate on the issue of criminal illegal aliens rather than provide the public with important information that might have a significant bearing on the laws and policies our elected officials enact. Keep ‘em dumb and happy. Bread and circuses for the masses. (more…)
Sterling Town Hall Meeting Wednesday
By Greg L | 29 June 2009 | Loudoun County, Crime | 5 Comments
Gang activity and violence isn’t just happening in Prince William County, it’s all over Northern Virginia. Over in the Sterling Park area of Loudoun County they’ve had a rash of this as well, and this Wednesday they’re going to have a Town Hall Meeting about it. If you’re in Loudoun County, attending a meeting like this may give you critical information about what you can do about gangs and access to local elected officials who will discuss legislative opportunities to more effectively combat them.

Once Again, They Didn’t Even Read The Bill
By Greg L | 27 June 2009 | National Politics | 15 Comments
TQ points out this evening that when the House of Representatives passed the “Cap and Tax” bill that if enacted would certainly raise our energy costs through the roof, the actual text of the bill they were voting on wasn’t available to the Congressmen being asked to vote on it. Yeah, this is our federal government, so caught up in global warming hysteria that they can’t even bother to complete drafting a bill to impoverish us all in order to combat ludicrous problems that don’t even exist before they demand elected officials to endorse them.

Independence Day Tea Party!
By Greg L | 27 June 2009 | National Politics, Prince William County | 31 Comments
Next Saturday is Independence Day, and in addition to the usual barbecues and fireworks there’s an opportunity for you to join with hundreds, perhaps thousands of other Prince William County area residents to protest the outrageous behavior of Congress and the President of late. Fed up with taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal aliens? Outraged with Gerry Connolly’s vote in favor of a massive tax hike scheme on energy this week, or his vote to bring Gitmo prisoners to Virginia? Send a message to Congress and the administration that we are fed up with socialism and have some fun at the Taxed Enough Already Party at the McCoart building from 1-4PM. Let’s have some fireworks before the fireworks start! (more…)
Wellington Targeted By 18th Street Gang
By Greg L | 25 June 2009 | Illegal Aliens, Crime, Manassas City | 59 Comments
UPDATE: Two suspects arrested! A new version of the video including information about the suspects is now available.
Today residents of the Wellington neighborhood in Manassas awoke to find an abundance of 18th Street gang graffiti on public and private property in their neighborhood. Even someone as friendly to the cause of illegal aliens as California Senator Dianne Feinstein has documented in a report that 80% of the members of this gang are illegal aliens. Until government, at all levels gets serious about addressing the problem of illegal immigration, we will continue to see transnational gangs such as this one, which has ties to Mexican and Columbian drug cartels, continue to be a problem in our community.
See comments for some important updates in this case…
Gerry Connolly Fails “Fill In The Blank” Test
By Greg L | 25 June 2009 | Virginia Politics, US Congress | 12 Comments
A constituent contacts 11th District Congressman Gerry Connolly for help after being arrested at the Canadian border, and Gerry’s response doesn’t even fill in the blank on the form letter that serves as his response. What an idiot.
Bob Marshall Wins Another One
By Greg L | 25 June 2009 | 13th HOD District, Virginia Politics | 6 Comments
The 4th Circuit affirmed the constitutionality of Virginia’s ban on partial-birth abortion yesterday, ruling in Richmond Medical Center v. Herring that a three judge panel of the same court had erred in declaring the law passed in 2003 was unconstitutional. This should end the effort by some in the “pro choice” crowd to protect the ability of abortionists to suck the brains out of partially-delivered babies, but an appeal here is possible, albeit rather unlikely. We shouldn’t have to be discussing such gruesome topics, and hopefully this will close the discussion and thanks to Bob Marshall, we will. (more…)
Amundson Throws In The Towel
By Greg L | 24 June 2009 | DPVA, Fairfax County | 6 Comments
The DPVA is now officially falling apart. House Homosexual Caucus leader Delegate Kris Amundson, who has been in office for nearly twenty years and a potential contender for House Majority Leader if the Democrats took over the Virginia House of Delegates this election has announced that she will not seek re-election in the 44th District. With a lackluster candidate at the top of the Democratic ticket who can’t provide huge financial support for House elections, the lustre seriously coming off Obama The Messiah, significant tensions between Northern Virginia Democrats and the House Minority Leader and a three way race, Kris Amundson decided to throw in the towel, even suggesting that Fairfax County is a difficult place to live in, and serve as an elected official.
Maybe she should have thought of that before supporting so many of the tax hikes that help make it so expensive. (more…)
Your Tax Dollars At Work
By Greg L | 24 June 2009 | RPV, DPVA, Virginia Politics | 10 Comments
RPV Chairman Pat Mullin’s look into what Governor Kaine has been doing as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee has already resulted in Virginians learning some rather interesting things about their part-time Governor. One of the more fascinating tidbits has been that when Kaine is jetting across the country to headline partisan events in swanky hotels, the security escort that protects him from Democratic Party donors is being paid for with taxpayer funds. Yeah, while VDOT is closing rest stops to save money, Governor Timmy is using public resources to help fundraise for the Democratic Party.
Suddenly Kaine is seeking reimbursement from the DNC for these expenses. Too bad this highly ethical administration didn’t figure it out on their own that the taxpayers might not appreciate their money being used to support Democratic Party fundraising efforts.
I can’t wait to see what else Mullins’ FOIA request shakes loose here. This is getting real interesting.
Silver Lake Transfer To Park Authority Approved
By Greg L | 23 June 2009 | Prince William County | 16 Comments
The Board of Supervisors approved the transfer of Silver Lake to the Park Authority by unanimous vote after voting down Supervisor May’s substitute proposal 2-5. I found it fascinating that May (and Nohe’s) substitute motion was only distributed to the other board members after the public hearing had concluded, making the first opportunity for other board members to see the proposed language immediately prior to a vote. Silver Lake Park is moving forward, finally.
I’ll have more on this later tonight tomorrow.
Marty Nohe To Delay Silver Lake Resolution?
By Greg L | 22 June 2009 | Prince William County | 16 Comments
Tuesday the Prince William Board of Supervisors are scheduled to resolve the long-standing, and rather slow-moving status of Silver Lake Park in the Gainesville District. The resolution to be considered is rather straightforward, and by all appearances would have no problem being passed to finally put an end to the never-ending analyses and battling over counter-proposals about who would own and operate the park. Of course few things are ever supposed to be easy in local government, so Marty Nohe and Mike May decided to derail the decision late last week. Yeah, that’s right, we’re talking about Marty Nohe of the Coles District and Mike May of the Occoquan District. (more…)

News Roundup
By Greg L | 19 June 2009 | Illegal Aliens, Crime, US Senate | 39 Comments
Connolly votes for terrorists to come to Virginia, billions dollars worth of U.S Treasuries recovered in a smuggling attempt, and GMU’s director of the Mason Project on Immigration declares GMU is knowingly violating federal law. Here’s a run-down on a few more interesting stories developing this week… (more…)
Luke Torian: Choosing Between God And Mammon
By Greg L | 17 June 2009 | 52nd HOD District | 32 Comments
Crystal Clear Conservative has some pretty stunning insights this evening into the business of Luke Torian, Democratic nominee for the 52nd House of Delegates. It appears that Torian and his wife may be grabbing a cool $300K salary from their church which may be playing awfully fast and loose with the IRS code. After Democrats pulled out the long knives on a number of religious leaders who may have engaged in this sort of behavior (perhaps with some justification), I wonder if they’ll be willing to apply the same standard to another church where the leader of that church happens to be one of their nominees. I’m not holding my breath on that. (more…)
One Down, One To Go
By Greg L | 17 June 2009 | Prince William County | 6 Comments
In the face of significant public opposition, GRR has pulled it’s application for building an asphalt plant in the Brentsville District, and Wally Covington finally goes on the record regarding the plant. It’s truly amazing what citizen activists can do to preserve and protect their community even in the face of developer interests in the county. (more…)
2009 HOD Campaign Preview
By Greg L | 17 June 2009 | Virginia House | 10 Comments
Northern Virginia will again be a battleground in the upcoming elections for the House of Delegates as Dems try to capitalize on the 2008 election performance of President Urkel in an effort to try to wrest majority control of the House. It increasingly appears that their hopes to cling to the year-old coattails of a president whose policies are meeting with stiff resistance amongst the electorate are fading. Meanwhile, the opportunities for Republicans to expand their majority are growing as they lay a withering fire against outrageous spending increases, fiscal mismanagement and astronomically growing public debt. While the last several election cycles have been pretty unfavorable for Republicans, this next one may decisively demonstrate that the corner has been turned and that will have a strong impact on the outcome of several key races in Virginia.
Here’s a look at some of the more interesting races where the dynamics have changed remarkably since 2007. (more…)
