Where are the new WV Republican voters coming from?
The May 12th Primary is the first election since the state Republican Party decided in January 2024 to close its candidate selection process to only party members. The move means non-affiliated or independent voters are not able to a receive a Republican ballot in early voting or at the polling place. So, what will that
Listen to “He’s a RINO… Ok, Prove It!” on Spreaker. He’s a RINO (republican in name only). She’s really a democrat. Says who?

Listen to “Vent: No Mailers!” on Spreaker. Please indulge more of a vent today than a typical commentary… If you stop and think about it, the intrusion isn’t much different from a perfect stranger walking through your front door completely uninvited. First to the refrigerator, emptying it of your preferred provisions. Then to the living
Who will save The Greenbrier this time?
In 2009, the historic Greenbrier Resort was bankrupt and days away from shuttering. Jim Justice stepped in to save the hotel by purchasing it and promptly investing in its development.

Dunmore’s War: precursor to the American Revolution
A skirmish between Colonists and the Shawnee in West Virginia could be considered what lit the fuse for the American Revolution
Has Trump Crossed a Line, Especially in WV?
Donald Trump is not Jesus. He cannot heal people by laying on hands. And doctors don’t wear robes; they wear white coats and scrubs. They use stethoscopes, modern medicine, and advanced technology in their effort to heal the sick. Obvious to most — but apparently not to Mr. Trump. After a back-and-forth with Pope Leo
What’s Next for Justice and The Greenbrier?
Listen to “What’s Next for Justice and The Greenbrier?” on Spreaker. Debt is a great tool — until it’s not. Get on the wrong side of leverage, and you may not find your way back… at least not without losing a piece of your financial identity. You have to wonder if that thought has crossed
Listen to “Space Race 2” on Spreaker. NASA’s Artemis II is an inspiration… a catalyst for unity in a country that thirsts for it. It should also awaken Americans to our space race with China — one we must win. Have we forgotten? The Soviets beat us before we beat them — first to place
The message from Artemis vs the message from Trump
The last few days, we witnessed the extreme opposites in messages to people everywhere.

As we settled in for Easter and Passover, Glover

The data center development dilemma
How much input and control should county and municipal governments have over the development of massive new facilities?
Listen to “Sports Best Left to SSAC” on Spreaker. Average. Not a star. Not one to ride the pine either. That’s not a knock – just an honest description of my time as a high school student-athlete. Never the fastest. Never the guy you called on in the clutch. But also, never one to quit
