ICYMI: Governor Youngkin Takes on Social Media Influence on Kids
RICHMOND TIMES-DISPATCH: “Gov. Glenn Youngkin made the third stop on his ‘parents matter conversation’ tour Tuesday morning, joining state Sen. Siobhan Dunnavant, R-Henrico, at Crestview Elementary School in Henrico County. The event was a chance to tout bills that have passed and bills that the administration plans to keep fighting for, along with listening to the audience for concerns and suggestions.”
WRIC: “According to the U.S. Surgeon General, spending more than three hours a day on social media doubles the risk of a child between the ages of 12 to 15 experiencing poor mental health outcomes, including symptoms of depression and anxiety.”

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin offered his vision of Republican governing values at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute in Simi Valley, California. “We can be the party of education; we can be the party of safe communities; we can be the party of jobs and economic prosperity; we can be the party of unbridled opportunity,” Governor Youngkin said. “We are the party of common sense.”

PARISOT: Conservative Government Works for You
Given the media’s obsession with the recent election for Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, I was asked if “we” should be concerned. As I thought about how best to address this, my focus stayed on the process and less on personalities and individual motivations. In doing so, it became evident that what was happening was a good thing for America and we are all better off for it.
We have not had normal order in the House since President Barack Obama’s first term and, now Speaker, Kevin McCarthy has been a member of House Republican caucus leadership since 2009. For more than 13 years, the American people have suffered a mind-numbing succession of continuing resolutions and massive omnibus bills.

The first version of Virginia’s constitution was written in 1776, in the first Spring of the American Revolution.

Now It’s Official
There is no question that Fairfax County has joined the questionable likes of San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Seattle, and so many more Democrat strongholds that believe illegal aliens should be protected from deportation. In Fairfax County, Sheriff Stacey Kincaid runs our jail and won’t even hold criminal illegal aliens who are about to be released for retrieval by ICE Agents unless there is a court order to do so. Clearly, she is more interested in illegal alien criminals’ interests than in public safety. The essay below was printed in the Bull Elephant in February and set a record for “Likes” not because readers like living in a sanctuary county but because the issue is of grave importance to citizens who value their and their families’ safety. The essay is being reprinted with the permission of The Bull Elephant.
In previous posts, I have written about how Fairfax County went from partnering with the federal government in enforcing immigration law to a renegade jurisdiction that refuses to protect its citizens from crimes committed by illegal aliens.
