NEW from me: Is the fight over Virginia’s assault weapons ban worth it (for either party)? #VALeg @BillStanley @jonesjay @GMcGuireVA wvtf.org/news/2026-07-1…




ICE just shot and killed a 26-year-old Colombian worker in Maine. He had a Social Security Number. He was driving to work. Now, the community is taking the streets: “No KKK, no fascist USA, no ICE!” STOP EXECUTING OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS.


As a pastor at a church with mostly homeless congregants I’ve become hyper aware of how anti-homeless sentiment has seeped into every corner our society. Absolutely disturbing. If you don’t have empathy for the homeless you don’t have Christ dwelling within you.

“Past a certain age, a man who still has empathy for the homeless can be a bad thing.”

Yet another friend with a child turning 16 next week. Hasn’t gotten a learner’s permit. Zero interest in a driver’s license. I keep hearing this same story. What’s WRONG with these kids?!?! On my 16th birthday, my mom took me out of school to take my driving test. Same for everyone I knew. Even if you couldn’t afford your own car, you could beg the use of the family station wagon occasionally. Freedom. Independence. Heck, privacy on a date! Are these kids giving all that up for scrolling TikTok and an occasional Uber?
