Newt GingrichOpinionscolumn, editorial, McAuliffe, opinion, Youngkin

The Virginia governor’s race may be developing into an argument with a clear choice that has real implications for campaigns across the country in 2022. Tuesday night’s debate clarified the dramatic gap between Republican Glenn Youngkin and Democrat Terry McAuliffe. It is clear: Youngkin stands with parents who care about their children’s education, and McAuliffe stands with the union bosses who want total control of our lives. During the debate, McAuliffe made what may be an election-collapsing mistake. He spoke honestly about the degree to which he would exclude parents from their children’s educations.

HUDSON: Democrats’ ludicrous claim that most expensive bill in history will cost $0

HUDSON: Reagan’s warnings on inflation still ring true

Rep. Richard HudsonOpinionseditorial, inflation, opinion, rep. richard hudson, ronald reagan

“A President’s greatest responsibility is to protect all our people from enemies, foreign and domestic. Here at home the worst enemy we face is economic — the creeping erosion of the American way of life and the American dream that has resulted in today’s tragedy of economic stagnation and unemployment.” President Ronald Reagan said these words in 1982. However, they ring as true today as ever before. As the crisis on our southern border worsens and inflation reaches new highs, last week Washington liberals ignored these problems and continued their reckless spending spree. The House passed legislation which would once…
