Once again I have to address the total ignorance of the situation in North Carolina.* #1 NO ONE BUILT THEIR HOUSE NEXT TO THE OCEAN* Most the motels and cottages were made between 20 to 71 years ago when the water was hundreds of yards away. * No the beach erosion is not natural, do not give me this let nature take its course crapIF the government had not put in jetties, there would not be so much beach erosion north of them. Imagine damming up a river and then just letting the dam break. Of course there would be flooding. Well if you make jetties you have to maintain them, as half a jetty is more deadly than none. Having one sitting out there with a hole in it just sucks out sand. Compounding this was were the geniuses of the army corpse of engineers who dug out pipes and tanks that had created an oil leak from the abandoned cost guard base that had been converted into a monstrous empty housing project created during the 2008 mortgage back security scam. This created a sink hole that also contributed to erosion. Once again the government did that.It was the government that initially removed sand from the exact spots that flooded by the dump truck load to fill in a swamp to place a naval base which was later converted to a coast guard base 1986. This was relocated in 2005 and the National Park Service took over the 49 acre lot. They sold the 8 arce portion that had cost guard housing on it to private developers from Sylakama, LLC. run by a Yankee from Illinois, Lee Pontes who role plays as a Virginian. The Yank built a 45-unit complex consists of 23 separate buildings: 24 two-bedroom, 14 three-bedroom and seven four-bedroom units, most with carports, screened porches, and decks. When the natural historic district zoning — which restricts multifamily and group housing — was put in place, the housing complex was still owned by the Coast Guard. Since the federal government is exempted from county zoning regulations, the complex was considered a legal non-conforming use.Well how about that the government creating another problem again.The government* removed the sand by the dump truck load* created and then broke a base* developed property there selling Park land to be developed by a yankee (former government employee to) who sold it to other yankees that no local could afford* abandoned the property which created an oil leak* dug that up and did so poorly which created more beach erosion* built and then neglected the jetties which caused massive erosion* sat on their thumbs as more than 30 properties were swallowed by the Sea. It was also the government that built the dune network across the entire island. It is counter intuitive but sand dunes actually make more erosion and water damage as they trap in even rain water between the dunes and the road. DOT (Department of Transportation) loss a lawsuit over this. Ai was unaware of it until I gave it specific names. The DOT is also more Government. So when Reagan said the most terrifying words in the English language were, “Hi, we're the government and we're here to help” boy did he get that right. Well you will never change anything they said. I am happy to report to every person who said that that that they can eat a bowl of ….Look at it now. What is super sad is that this beach was dredged and created in a matter of DAYS. In under a week there was a beach. The next step is to fix the broken jetty. Ryan Dawson's Anti-neocon Report is a reader-supported publication.

Trust the science. Trust the experts. But what happens when ideology and financial incentives start driving medicine?In this episode of Speak Up! Virginia, Candi Cushman and Victoria Cobb discuss the new U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report, Wolves in White Coats, and what it reveals about the push for gender transition procedures for children.They discuss:• What the HHS report found about financial incentives, medical practices, and potentially improper billing• The lack of FDA approval for puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to treat gender dysphoria in children• How parents and patients may have been misled about risks and long-term consequences• The legal implications for schools and why recent Supreme Court decisions are changing the landscape in Virginia• A new legal memo from Founding Freedoms Law Center and America First Legal urging Virginia school boards to review their policies• What parents can do to speak up and protect their children

This week, reality officially called in sick!First, two men say they want to enter the WNBA Draft, and the internet absolutely loses its mind. Is it equality? Is it trolling? Is it the greatest publicity stunt since New Coke? We're breaking down the controversy with the only credentials that matter—common sense and sarcasm.Then we head to Virginia, where Tim Kaine's running mate, Ghazala Hashmi, watched gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger get booed by the crowd. Was it a rough audience, bad timing, or are Virginians just done pretending to clap? We'll tell you what happened and why the political temperature keeps climbing.Next up, more Fauci-era text messages are making headlines, fueling fresh debates over what officials knew, what they said privately, and the ongoing arguments surrounding the COVID vaccines and their possible side effects. We'll separate what's documented, what's being claimed, and what everyone on social media is yelling about.As always, expect laughs, hot takes, a few eye rolls, and enough sarcasm to require a warning label.

Hunters for the Hungry: Turning Virginia's Deer Harvest Into Meals for Families in NeedGary Arrington of Hunters for the Hungry returns to the Green Top Outdoors Podcast to talk about the incredible impact Virginia hunters are making in communities across the Commonwealth.Joined by Hunter Brooks and Todd Sadler, Gary shares how Hunters for the Hungry takes donated deer and turns that valuable source of protein into meals for men, women, children, veterans, and families facing food insecurity.Last year was another phenomenal year for the organization, with more than 205,000 pounds of venison donated and processed, providing more than 820,000 quarter-pound servings. Since 1991, Hunters for the Hungry has distributed more than 8.3 million pounds of venison, representing over 33.4 million quarter-pound servings throughout Virginia.But keeping the program moving takes more than donated deer. As Gary explains, Hunters for the Hungry needs both “deer and dollars.” Processing costs continue to rise, and the organization is also facing a shortage of participating deer processors. At the same time, demand from food banks, church pantries, feeding programs, and other organizations continues to grow.Gary also discusses new ways Hunters for the Hungry is putting donated venison to work, including shelf-stable venison chili, stew, soup, and spaghetti sauce. These products can reach families and feeding programs that may have limited freezer or refrigeration capacity.In this episode, you'll hear about:How donated deer become meals for Virginians in needWhy deer processors are the program's “unsung heroes”Rising processing costs and why financial donations matterThe need for additional processors and volunteersHunters for the Hungry's statewide impactNew canned venison initiativesHow hunters can donate while purchasing a Virginia hunting licenseThe importance of hunters serving their local communitiesThe Hunters for the Hungry Sporting Clays Benefit ShootHow just $1 can help provide three quarter-pound servingsGary also talks about the future of Hunters for the Hungry and the need to find passionate people who can help carry the organization's mission forward.Whether you donate a deer, contribute a few dollars, volunteer your time, help spread the word, or support a Hunters for the Hungry event, every contribution can make an impact.Learn more about Hunters for the Hungry, find donation information, locate participating processors, and discover ways to support the program at h4hungry.org.Hunting, fishing, and everything outdoors.

In honor of July 4th, we're exploring an important part of American history – the contributions of enslaved Black chefs, whose work influences American cuisine to this day. In 1784, Thomas Jefferson brought the enslaved chef James Hemings, brother of Sally Hemings, with him to France to train under the French culinary masters of the day. Hemings created a cuisine that was half French, half Virginian, and brought it back to Jefferson's plantation, Monticello. This week, Dan tours the kitchens at Monticello with three descendants of enslaved Virginians: Michael Twitty, culinary historian and historical interpreter; Niya Bates, senior fellow of African American history at Monticello; and Gayle Jessup White, public relations and community engagement officer at Monticello. This episode originally aired on October 21, 2019, and July 3, 2023, and was produced by Dan Pashman, Anne Saini, Ngofeen Mputubwele, and Peter Clowney.

Episode 4167 │ July 2, 2026 Adams nominated Washington, pushed Jefferson to write the Declaration, worked every delegate in the room — and history gave the credit to everyone else. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson opens with John Adams not as the famous founder but as the operator — the man who served on more committees than any other delegate, nominated Washington for command because a Virginia general would unify the southern colonies, pushed Jefferson to write the Declaration because a Virginian's hand would carry more weight, and then worked every wavering delegate through six weeks of debate until twelve colonies voted yes on July 2, 1776 — the date Adams believed would be remembered forever, wrong again as history chose July 4th instead. The episode traces what that service actually cost: ten years of letters across the Atlantic to Abigail, who held Braintree alone while he held the republic together; the death of his son Charles at thirty from liver failure, a grief Adams never found words for; the loss of the presidency because he chose peace with France over Hamilton's war and the Federalist Party fractured and never recovered — and Adams said later he wanted no other inscription on his gravestone than that he had taken upon himself the responsibility of peace. The episode closes with Adams moving into an unfinished White House in November 1800, writing a prayer for the house and all who would inhabit it — not for publication, not for posterity, but because he believed it — a prayer Franklin Roosevelt found a century later and had inscribed on the State Dining Room mantel, where it remains today, the last act of a man who spent his life being right about the things that mattered and wrong about the things history remembered. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What did Adams actually do to make independence happen — and why does the operational record of committee work, delegate management, and strategic nomination reveal a founder history consistently undervalues in favor of the more famous names in the room? What did the revolution cost John and Abigail Adams personally — and what does the death of their son Charles, and Adams's lifelong inability to write about it, reveal about the human price of selfless service that monuments never show? Why did Adams choose peace with France over Hamilton's war, knowing it would cost him the presidency and destroy his party — and what does his requested gravestone inscription reveal about how he measured the worth of what he had done?

It's Fourth of July weekend, it's a hundred degrees outside, and Paul Asay from Plugged In joins Brian From with a perfect excuse to sit in air-conditioned darkness for two hours. First up: Minions and Monsters, the latest entry in the franchise that somehow keeps going — fun and frenetic as always, but parents should know there are some darker spiritual elements from a spell book and at least one real swear word that feels out of place. Then a genuine recommendation for the holiday weekend: Young Washington, a historically grounded action film about George Washington before the wigs and the dentures, back when he was just a Virginian colonial trying to make his name in the French and Indian War. Paul — who reads presidential biographies for fun — calls out the liberties it takes while vouching for its historical core, and notes a welcome faith element alongside the battle sequences. For streaming at home: Enola Holmes 3 on Netflix brings Sherlock's younger sister to the altar while Moriarty tries to ruin the wedding. And in a delightful bonus, Brian puts Paul on the spot about what he's actually watching — the answer involves Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, and a 1952 western that Paul still hasn't forgiven for its famously annoying kid.

Virginia has become the data center capital of the world, powering everything from social media and streaming services to the rapidly growing artificial intelligence industry. But as massive tech campuses continue to pop up across the Commonwealth, many residents are asking a simple question: Who really benefits?Tonight, host Arrington Gavin takes an independent look at one of Virginia's biggest economic and political battles. Are data centers creating jobs and generating much-needed tax revenue, or are local communities paying the price through increased energy demands, environmental concerns, and changes to their neighborhoods? Should Virginia continue to welcome Big Tech with open arms, or is it time to rethink the balance between economic growth and quality of life?Join the conversation as we break down the facts, the politics, and the competing interests behind Virginia's data center boom. Whether you're excited about the future of AI or worried about the impact on your community, this is a discussion that affects every Virginian.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Virginia Delegate Michael Webert to discuss the impact of regulatory reform and what's at stake for the future of the Commonwealth. Delegate Webert breaks down how the Virginia Office of Regulatory Management—created under Governor Glenn Youngkin—has streamlined burdensome rules, cut red tape, and saved taxpayers significant money, including an estimated $26,000 per home. With a looming deadline and shifting political leadership, those reforms are now at risk. Webert shares concerns about increasing regulations, rising energy costs, and the potential rollback of policies that have helped businesses grow and families afford housing. From farming to housing to energy policy, this conversation highlights how everyday regulations can quietly shape the cost of living—and why protecting reform efforts is critical to keeping Virginia competitive and affordable.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – Two Virginia founders, Richard Henry Lee and Benjamin Harrison, stand on opposite sides of the independence debate before both sign the Declaration of Independence. Their story reveals clashing strategies, deep family legacies, and the difficult path from hopes of reconciliation to a shared commitment to American liberty and self-government together...

Would your children remember more about America's founding than an entire textbook?America turns 250 years old in just a few weeks, and the celebration has already begun. Most of you will go watch fireworks. But what if your children actually understood the people, the stories, the sacrifices, and the leadership that made America possible? It doesn't require a giant unit study or hours of preparation. Today I want to show you some simple ways to celebrate America 250 while inspiring a love of learning and having fun with your kids.History Is More Than Dates and Dead PeopleMost moms feel the pressure to cover the history and check off all the checkboxes. But history is so much bigger than that. When our kids were teenagers, they read a book in ninth grade called More Than Dates and Dead People — and that title says it all. We need to look at the stories of ordinary people who influenced others. That's leadership. Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.America 250, right now in the summertime when you may not even be doing regular school, is the perfect opportunity to help our kids see themselves as part of a much bigger picture.Paul Revere — One Ordinary Person Who Changed HistoryLet's start with Paul Revere and his Midnight Ride. Longfellow wrote a whole poem about it — The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere — and I still remember reciting it in junior high.Listen, my children, and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. On the 18th of April in 75, hardly a man is now alive who remembers that famous day and year.Most families know who Paul Revere is. But do they realize he was just a silversmith? When we were in Boston, we actually got to visit his house. He was just an ordinary craftsman who risked arrest to warn fellow patriots that the British troops were moving in on Lexington and Concord. One regular person used his influence to help change history.So how could you apply this to your family? Read a one-page biography of someone from 250 years ago in America. Read it aloud at lunch and ask one question — how did this person influence others? Then close your mouth and see what they say. That's leadership education in action. How easy is that?Great Books Bring History to LifeOne of the easiest ways to learn history — and the way we did it best — was through literature. Kids remember stories so much more than worksheets.One of our favorites is Johnny Tremaine. Johnny begins the story as a proud silversmith's apprentice, goes through a lot of hardship, makes mistakes, grows in friendships and responsibilities, and eventually grows into a leader during the American Revolution. Kids naturally connect with his struggles, and you can discuss courage, teachability, responsibility, and wise decision-making as you go through the book.Instead of worksheets, add some hands-on activities. Build a Boston Tea Party crane. Become a midnight messenger like Paul Revere. Do a colonial apprenticeship project. Make colonial meals together. My kids always perked up when food was involved. Learning becomes so much more memorable when you're doing history — not just memorizing and regurgitating facts.What could you do this week or next week? Read one chapter from a historical book. Have your kids narrate what they hear each day and ask one question — what leadership trait did this person show? Or not show? Not everyone's a good leader. Get a book from the library and start reading. That's enough.Abigail Adams — Leadership Doesn't Always Look Like Standing in Front of a CrowdA lot of people think it was only men participating 250 years ago. That is just not true. There were plenty of strong women fighting for the cause and supporting their families. Abigail Adams is one of them.She was home while John Adams was away serving his country — managing the farm, the finances, the household, and the children during very uncertain times. Many homeschool moms I know can relate to carrying the weight of everything that's going on.Her letters reveal courage, wisdom, and perseverance. On March 31st, 1776 — 250 years ago — John was helping to shape a new government. Here's what Abigail wrote:Remember the ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors.That sounds simple at first, but it reveals so much wisdom. Abigail understood that a new nation wasn't just about defeating Great Britain. It was about creating a better society. She encouraged leaders to think not only about the immediate crisis but also about the rights and needs of others.Leadership isn't always standing in front of a crowd. Sometimes it's a thoughtful letter. A meaningful conversation. Influencing the people around you. Something homeschool moms do every day. You are influencing the next generation. You may feel like you're not doing much, but you have more impact on your children than anyone else. Leadership is happening around the kitchen table.Patrick Henry and the Courage to Say What Others Won'tOn March 23rd, 1775, Patrick Henry challenged Virginians to prepare for difficult days. And one of the lines that most of us can remember — I hope your children will remember it too — is this: Give me liberty, or give me death.His speech helped persuade many colonists to take action when others were still uncertain what to do. He had influence.What could you do with his story? Read his speech and then ask — would you choose liberty? Or would you choose to just do whatever everyone else tells you, whatever the government says? There's a lot of conversation right there for your family. Have you ever needed courage to do something difficult? What does courage look like for a child? What does it look like for a homeschool mom?You Don't Need More Resources — You Need the Right OneThe problem with history isn't a lack of resources. There are resources abounding — printable packs, websites, YouTube videos. The problem is too many resources. You could spend 5 to 10 hours just trying to figure out what to do over the next few weeks. What you need is something that's organized and ready to use.America 250 is more than a birthday celebration. It's an opportunity to help your kids understand freedom, responsibility, leadership, and character. You don't have to recreate this in a classroom. Find some great books to read, tell great stories, have meaningful conversations around the dinner table, and let your kids see that history comes alive.250 years ago, ordinary people made choices that changed history. Paul Revere. Abigail Adams. Patrick Henry. Today, the conversations you have around the dinner table will influence the next generation just as quickly.That's why we made our America 250 Leadership and Freedom Bundle.

In 1864, a family of Virginians found themselves in war torn Atlanta with a decision to make - head home or plant roots. This was the birth of what would become known as Paul Jones & Company. Over the years, there have been several stories floating around about how the flagship whiskey they later established in Louisville got its name. Was it because of a dance and proposal to a Southern Belle? Was it lifted from an Atlanta competitor's name? Or was it simply a name that came from the imagination of Paul Jones? Today, I'll look to answer that question while taking you beyond the Season One episode to the very origins of Four Roses Bourbon.

Dustin Whitten is a full time 1:1 railroader that's also an HO scale model railroader known for his coal-hauling Appalachian-themed layouts. His current layout was featured in the "Built by Others" series on Trains.com inspired by the Virginian project layout that  first appeared in the pages of Model Railroader in January of 2012. Dustin's Norfolk & Western South Branch layout took inspiration from this project and adjusted it to fit his space. His freelance layout, the Norfolk & Western South Branch, models Southwestern Virginia in 1987 during the early Norfolk Southern era.   On this podcast he explains how he expanded and customized the original Virginian project plan with broader curves, a redesigned coal marshaling yard, realistic operations based on prototype railroad practices using a mix of Norfolk and Western, Southern Railway, and early Norfolk Southern power. It's a great podcast and one we're sure you'll enjoy!!

The media and Democrats have been sounding the alarm on Trump's mental health for a decade. But now, even some of his biggest supporters are wondering: is Trump… okay? Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin agrees that Trump's recent behavior is alarming, which is why he's introduced a bill that could start the process of removing Trump from office involuntarily using the 25th Amendment. We discussed the amendment and why the Representative believes it's worth pursuing now.And in headlines, our fearless leader sows more seeds of confusion regarding the Iran War, Virginians head to the polls to weigh in on state redistricting, and Trump is set to attend the White House Correspondents' dinner — for the first time.Show Notes: Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

We spent a year as the Commonwealth of Virginia birthing 94,000 babies and taking the lives of 38,000. That means we are aborting about a quarter of our next generation. We've gotten to the point where there's a volume of Virginians that have decided they don't care about the unborn. They're fine with late term abortions, argues Victoria Cobb, president of the Family Foundation of Virginia on today's Daily Signal podcast with host Joe Thomas.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Matt Walsh joins Allie Beth Stuckey for his first discussion about Episode 3 of his groundbreaking Daily Wire docuseries “Real History,” which dives deep into the untold truths of the American Civil War. Walsh challenges the mainstream narrative by exploring why the conflict wasn't simply a moral crusade over slavery, examining the complex mix of political power struggles, economic differences, cultural divides, and the spirit of secession that echoed America's own founding. He also sheds new light on figures like General Robert E. Lee — a brilliant Virginian torn between loyalty to the United States and defense of his home state — and questions how the North shaped the history we've been taught. Plus, Matt shares how he's become radicalized on criminal justice thanks to the suspected killer of Iryna Zarutska being found unfit to stand for trial. Matt reacts to soft-on-crime policies that prioritize criminals over victims and explains how the psychiatric industry has become a plague excusing the worst behavior in society. They also react to a bizarre clip in which Jennifer Siebel Newsom tries to use her trauma to relate to juvenile delinquents. Share the Arrows 2026 is on October 10 in Dallas, Texas!
