  Virginia’s Boys Crisis in Education | Richmond News 19.09.2026 1min

  Virginia’s bipartisan commission on men and boys just released its first report — and the numbers are alarming. Only 48% of boys entered kindergarten ready in 2024, compared to 56% of girls. Fourth-grade boys lagged behind girls in reading by a staggering margin: 48% scored below basic, versus 34% for girls — putting Virginia last nationally in this gap.

  Virginia's 7th District Race Heats Up | Richmond News 18.09.2026 1min

  Virginia’s 7th Congressional District is heating up with a fierce three-way race: Democrat Eugene Vindman, Republican Doug Ollivant, and Libertarian Taner Lopez. Vindman, a decorated Army veteran and current congressman, touts his refugee background and record on lowering prescription drug costs, pausing gas taxes, and tackling housing. Ollivant, a retired Lt. Colonel with a global consulting firm, champions clean energy like natural gas and modular nuclear, plus deregulation to boost supply chains. Lopez, a cultural advisor with advanced theology degrees, calls for cutting foreign wars and federal spending to fix affordability—and insists on strict constitutional checks on power. All three are laser-focused on housing, healthcare, and economic growth, but their paths diverge sharply on how to get there.

  Virginia Voters Decide Reproductive Rights | Richmond News 18.09.2026 1min

  Virginia voters face a pivotal decision this November with Ballot Question One — the first major reproductive rights amendment since Roe v. Wade was overturned. A “yes” vote would enshrine abortion access in the state constitution, making future restrictions harder to pass and protecting providers. A “no” vote keeps Virginia’s current system intact — no total ban, but strict third-trimester requirements — and leaves room for future legislative changes. This isn’t just another ballot item — it’s a defining moment for the South’s most abortion-friendly state. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
