UVA spends $20 million per year on DEI Staff
I’d like to think that VT spends nowhere near that, but I have a feeling I would be disappointed.

Even though I voted for him, I think it’s definitely time for Trump to turn over the reins. ...

Brilliant strategy, get all the rats to seek cover underground and then seal them in their new tomb. They may have killed thousands of terrorist scumbags.

Re: It’s been awhile since I’ve frequented this board
Posted a lot in the 2000’s. Considered myself a Paulite Conservative (Ron and Rand) back then; destested Dubya’s “invade the world, invite the world” philosophy when it came to interventionism and immigration. These days I consider myself a conservative who dislikes “Conservatism Inc.”, as represent...

Re: democrat vote to stack the senate
Couldn’t Texas counter this by voting to split into multiple states? I thought their original agreement to join the US kept open this possibility. Just lump in Austin, San Antonio, and the southern border regions into one blue state, and the rest of Texas into three red ones.

Rhetorical question
If my great-grandfather was a convicted murderer, should I be forced to pay restitution to the descendants of his victim? Of course not, what a stupid question.

I think that Disney really dug themselves into a hole by making Episode 8 Luke’s farewell and setting up Episode 9 to be Leia’s (because, you know, need more grrl! power).

Re: Who is going to see Solo?
Yes. TFA was pretty formulaic to ANH. It’s a formula that works and while it wasn’t revolutionary, it was exposition for the new characters. TLJ was going to be Empire part Deux but they rightly threw a wrench into it. I loved Luke’s last sequence. Luke the Jedi Knight would have fought, but the Je...

All five dates playing in my town sold out within an hour. Sorry, but I just don’t get the obsession with this play. In fact, I find it troubling how popular it is.

Re: Official State of the Union thread

They have unequivocally shown the order of their priorities, which is: (1) people who live outside America who could potentially immigrate here (nearly 7 billion...

The state income tax problem nobody is talking about
While everyone is caught up on the fact you won’t be able to deduct state income taxes for your federal income taxes (or capped at 10k at best), this is not that big of a deal, since the new higher standard deduction means millions more people won’t be itemizing now. What’s being overlooked is the a...

Why politicizing sports could backfire on the left
It seems that we as Americans are obsessed with sports on an emotional level.* So much so that it distracts us for more important issues. But for the globalist elites that's a good thing. I mean, bread and circuses, right? They want us to be distracted. But when you politicize sports, it forces the ...

Looks like Puerto Rico just took a direct hit. Truly awful, probably like Katrina x10 for them. Maybe too early to say, but this will have some political ramifications.

Pence is far more acceptable to the establishment. Right now, the Dems and a good portion of the Pubs feel that Trump cannot be trusted with foreign policy. An anti-Russia, anti-Syrian government position is simply non-negotiable for them. Trump seems to be leaning more in that direction as of late,...
