Opinion: On guns, bipartisanship clears a very low hurdle in Virginia

Opinion: Young children and teenagers in Virginia have proved they can get their hands on guns and harm themselves and others. The fi****ms might have been right in their own homes. Against this backdrop, lawmakers in the General Assembly passed almost no new gun legislation this year to stem the ongoing carnage. It was as if the blood-soaked status quo was acceptable.

Looking for a teacher/tutor for my 4-year-old daughter. Someone who can teach her 2 or 3 times a week at the Pre-k level. Thanks for any recommendations!
Thank you to the Fauquier Times for covering this story that no one else will. I was scoffed at and hung up on by Fox 5 D.C.
Head Start is one of the only programs still requiring masks and mandatory vaccinations. No one is advocating for these kids but me. This rule is outdated and does not follow the current CDC guidelines especially when Fauquier is considered to have 'low' transmission of covid-19. This is what happens when you let the federal government control your child's health.
