IN THE NEWS:
"If we finally beat Medicare"--that was one of the incomprehensible, raspy incoherent whispers of a feeble president during a televised debate last week, prompting calls by media outlets for the Democrats to dump Biden and put somebody else on the ticket. Over the weekend, the Pod Virginia All Stars addressed the topic.
"The best Trump rally ever"--that was how Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin described his first public appearance with the former president in Chesapeake on Friday. Trump spoke for more than 80 minutes in a rambling and disjointed speech that would have otherwise been forgettable. But because it was right after the debate and because he was on the stage with Glenn Youngkin, it actually had some resonance to it.
The Senate will be gaveling into session again today to debate financing for a college tuition program called the Virginia Military Survivors and Dependents Education Program. The program was created back in the 1930s to aid the families of World War I vets, and in recent years it’s been expanded to cover out-of-state residents, graduate students and relatives of service members with non-combat related injuries. That means the cost of the program has spiraled out of control from $12 million in 2019 to $65 million last year.
TRIVIA: When did Virginia declare milk as its official state drink?
