Virginia Democrats Finalize Sweeping Budget Deal
Virginia’s governing Democrats played “let’s make a deal” to pass a two-year budget that will take effect next week.
The state lawmakers opted to maintain a tax break that encourages companies to build data centers in the commonwealth.
They offset that by imposing a new tax on the energy that those centers will use.
Gov…
For the Love of DEI, Virginia Democrats Inject Race Into Tourism
The Virginia House of Delegates just released its final draft of the 2026 budget.

Virginia legislators are busy working out the 2026 budget.
After months of back…
Yes, Virginia, There Won’t Be a Shutdown
In the end, as the Virginia General Assembly returned Monday for a perfunctory vote on the one-sided $212 billion tax plan, it appears that the Senate president pro tempore was holding up the process not on the principle of clawing tax dollars from data center operators—they were the most eye-catching hostages to take—but for getting…
Virginia and the Color Purple
Virginians are facing some tough battles this year, and it didn’t have to be that way.
Republican leaders are getting heat for two votes taken on June 13 at the Republican Party of Virginia State Central Committee meeting.

They should take heat for the fact that neither of them should have been…
Ossoff’s Anti-Second Amendment Record Stands Out as Gun Manufacturers Migrate to Georgia
As major gun manufacturers relocate from Virginia to Georgia over firearm regulations, constitutional experts told the Daily Signal that the increasing momentum for left-leaning policies in the Peach State could jeopardize the manufacturers’ new home.

Data Center Policy Divides State Democrats
Virginia is on the verge of its first shutdown in modern history, and it all comes down to data centers and Democratic Party infighting.
Democrats control the governor’s mansion, the state Senate, and the House, yet the party can’t get on the same page.
“Virginia has to have a budget by June 30,” Republican Virginia…
Honoring the Declaration in Richmond
For the next month, Virginians can see a vital piece of our shared national history.
A rare copy of the Declaration of Independence will be on display at the Virginia Museum of History and Culture.

Virginia has been central to…
Lawsuit Exposes Virginia’s Neo-Confederate Approach to Immigration
Democrats of 2026 bear an uncanny resemblance to Democrats of 1861 when it comes to seeking to nullify federal law.
In 1861, Democrats led efforts to “secede” from the Union to oppose Abraham Lincoln, a Republican who opposed the expansion of slavery into the Northern Territories, an expansion expressly forbidden by Congress in the Missouri…
Virginia State GOP Set to Vote on Radical Democrat Amendments
The State Central Committee of the Republican Party of Virginia is meeting Saturday morning in Fredericksburg to consider whether to oppose or remain neutral on three highly controversial proposed Democrat amendments to the Virginia Constitution.

The abortion amendment…
Bitter ‘Harvest’: Don’t Scoff, Virginia, Over California’s Elections.
We’re Not Far Behind.
Virginians should not be giggling over the issues that are dogging California’s primary results—we could be next.
All of the laws regarding mail-in voting and ballot harvesting are in Virginia’s law books, too.
Former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, now president of the Election Transparency Initiative, pointed this out in a visit with me on…
Virginia State GOP Voids Lynchburg Primary Results
Voters in Lynchburg, Virginia, can expect a large slate of candidates for the three city council seats that will be on the ballot in November.
That’s because the Republican State Central Committee voted 55-17 to set aside the results of last month’s “firehouse primary” and declared that all interested candidates may file to be on…

‘Affordability’?
Virginia Drives Gun Manufacturer to Cheaper Georgia
Gov.
Abigail Spanberger and whatever members of the Virginia Democratic Party that aren’t in a war of words with her still speak of fulfilling their affordability agenda, which we have debunked in earlier columns as nothing more than more taxpayer-funded subsidies or draconian controls on providers like landlords.
However, the news that Rideout Arsenal, a…

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA—A Richmond judge denied two motions against the Democrat Party of Virginia and Gov.

Fairfax Schools’ Pricey Legal Advice Disguised as ‘Independent Investigation’
Earlier this year, 13 girls attending Fairfax High School told school administrators that Israel Flores Ortiz, a 19-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador attending the school as a junior, groped their genitals in the hallway as they were transitioning between classes.
In April, Ortiz was sentenced to 360 days in jail for multiple counts of…
