Charlottesville is Drone Free!

You may have seen the Drudge headline about the first city to ban drones. That's right--it's beautiful Charlottesville, VA that just added another reason for me to love the city.

Thomas Jefferson would most certainly be proud.

Get Off My Lawn

So Biden's swinging down to Richmond to push his insane anti-gun message by once again exploiting the Tech shooting from several years ago.

Get off my lawn, Joe.

McDonnell Drives Virginia

Interesting proposal from our great governor to remove the gas tax in Virginia. Although I generally am wary of tax "cuts" or "breaks" that add new fees elsewhere--paying Paul by robbing Peter--this might actually turn out to be a good thing. 

Guess if the Obama Administration blocks oil and gas drilling off the Virginia coast, Governor McDonnell will just find a way to sell more if it in the Old Dominion. 

Clinton Underground

Thought for the day... You can tell how big a scandal is by how quickly Hillary gets out of town and how long she stays in hiding.

Seriously. Where is the Secretary of State during all of these international crises?

Perhaps the price for Bill to support Barack in 2012 was to have Hillary protected from all of the Benghazi/Middle East fallout. Regardless, I think the phone is ringing a lot at 3:00 a.m., and no one is there to answer.

Semper Fi

Happy Birthday, Marines. Today we celebrate--and are thankful for--237 years of dedication, strength, and uncommon valor.

Four More Years

Gosh, wouldn't it be nice to have an administration that can go just 48 hours without a scandal or coverup?

It seems the only time classified information about our national security gets protected is when it protects Obama's end goals. This administration could release all of the details of the bin Laden raid 24 hours after the fact--with no concern for operational repercussions or the safety of the special forces involved--but it takes several days (including Election Day, shock) to reveal that Iran attacked one of our military drones.

Plus, it seems that it's just fine for the government to release sensitive operational details to Hollywood directors making a movie glorifying Obama's role in the bin Laden raid. But if the actual Navy SEAL heroes of the raid collaborate with a video game maker, they're reprimanded and docked pay.

Think about it. Who would be more careful about protecting the classified and sensitive nature of operations? Some schmuck whose greatest risk was deciding which hallucinogen to take in college, or the American patriots who've given their lives to protecting the nation. Which one is more likely to know what's safe to talk about and what's not?

Who really has skin in this game? If this is what the first three days are like, just imagine the next four years.

A Bitter Pill

Wow. I truly am stunned by the election results last night. It's not so much that Obama won--it's that he won so quickly and so completely.

Not only that, but my beloved Virginia couldn't overcome the overwhelming liberal majority in Fairfax County, which is where the election was truly lost. And once again the Commonwealth is colored blue.

Beyond all the political ramifications and legitimate concerns for the nation and its electorate, I'm most heartsick at the fact that a truly good man was defeated by an enigma. Mitt Romney is an honorable, decent, honest American. His words matched his works--his love of country drove his campaign.

And America voted against this.

Well done, Mitt and Ann. Thank you for giving America hope and for reminding us what it's like to have faithful, classy, and honest leaders so close to the White House.
