To the mats, Men!

 

It'll be a tough row to hoe.  But, the lads should be up for the challenge.

And there will be lots of them to do so.

The three local wrestling teams enter this year's fray operating under a format that looks tough to navigate.

The VHSL's new structure has Liberty and Staunton River both situated in Region 3A-West.  So, in addition to dealing with the likes of Brookville (which has won the Seminole District 40+ consecutive years), the Minutemen and Eagles also have to deal with dreaded Christiansburg.

Faithfully executing the laws

For more than 200 years, the U.S. Constitution has served as the law of the land and the framework on which we have built our nation. The principles enshrined in this document by our Founding Fathers protect Americans’ liberties by creating a limited government that is divided into three separate branches, with each branch having defined functions delegated to it by the Constitution. This “separation of powers” was designed so that no one branch acquires too much power.

Bear sightings up in the area

    There have been more than a few bear sightings in and around the town of Bedford in the past few months.

Fifth District Virginians know that the federal government’s role is to promote policies that create opportunities and increase access to capital for our entrepreneurs and small businesses to hire and expand.

 

Poor Sarah Palin; she just can’t...

If there are two things in our nation that deserve each other, it’s gotta be Sarah Palin and Liberty University.
    Apparently, LU doesn’t hold great intellectual standards for the people it invites to speak. Thus, Sarah Palin will always be welcome.
    Ms. Palin (no, wait a minute; that’s Mrs. Palin. “Ms.” would be too feminist, wouldn’t it?) spoke recently at the school’s final “fall convocation.”

Thank you

Mission accomplished

    The day after the Nov. 30 deadline for fixing HealthCare.gov passed, President Barack Obama held a press conference to proclaim victory. The day after that, a Wall Street Journal editorial noted that one thing was missing — a “Mission Accomplished” banner in the background.
