The office of Loudoun County prosecutor Buta Biberaj (D.) on Thursday dropped second-degree murder charges in general district court for 25-year-old Stone Colburn, who last year was accused of stabbing his brother’s girlfriend to death.

Soon to be former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, perhaps suffering brain from too much gourmet ice cream in her San Francisco industrial sixe freezer, was mystified in explaining the wave of lawlessness sweeping the country which liberals finally noticed when smash-and-grab looters switched targets from now-abandoned Walgreens drug stores to the high-end stores and shops patronized by the rich and famous like herself. Press Secretary Jen Psaki has blamed rising crime and shoplifting on the pandemic as if looters are hoping those Louis Vitton bags they are running off with are filled with monoclonal antibodies. No thought is given to...

Over the weekend, ABC and NBC finally discovered the close gubernatorial race in Virginia between institutional Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican outsider Glenn Youngkin. And with the polls showing a dead heat between them, the networks adopted the talking points of the McAuliffe campaign as they railed against Youngkin as some kind of Donald Trump mini-me. At the same time, they ignored McAuliffe lashing out at Virginia parents for daring to try to have a say in their children’s education. On Saturday, NBC Nightly News and White House correspondent Monica Alba gushed about former President Barack Obama stumping for McAuliffe...

The fact that America’s biggest banks (not to mention many of its biggest companies) have embraced virtue-signaling on issues like racial equality and representation is nothing new. But in the race to be seen as the most beneficent megabank on Wall Street, Citigroup appears to be pulling ahead. One year after releasing a 104-page paper purporting to analyze the impact of racism and inequality on America’s economy – the analysts ultimately determined, in a report that reads more like propaganda than sell-side research, that “systemic racism” has helped to destroy some $16 trillion in economic value over the last 20...

The school called Smith but, when he arrived, told him they were going to handle the matter “in-house.” When the school eventually called the sheriff’s office, it wasn’t to arrest the alleged perpetrator (who later admitted the act) but was because Smith was making a scene—he wasn’t violent, but he launched obscenities at the principal. Still, the sheriff’s deputies took Smith’s daughter to a hospital, where a rape kit showed that she had, in fact, been sexually assaulted.The principal then sent a message to the school community saying that, while the deputies had shown up at school, everyone at the...

A Virginia prosecutor backed by billionaire George Soros is facing heat over her handling of domestic violence cases after an accused wife-beater out on bond murdered his wife with a hammer. Authorities will charge Peter Lollobrigido for the brutal murder of his wife Regina Redman-Lollobrigido, who died in a hospital Sunday following a Sept. 19 assault.

The top prosecutor in Loudoun County, Virginia, has participated in the Facebook group whose members infamously created a list of parents who disagreed with school system policies with the intention to “hack,” “infiltrate,” and “expose” them, according to new screenshots. Since The Daily Wire exposed the group March 16, triggering national outrage, members of the “Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County” have doubled down and now appear to be gathering information about the children of at least one adult. “Anyone else with the racist TikTok’s from you know who’s kids please PM me. Especially more with the N-word. TYIA,” group administrator...
