<p>A city board in northwestern Virginia voted Tuesday to remove the Pledge of Allegiance as the opener for its meetings.</p>
<p>One of the Winchester Planning Commission’s liberal female members blew off the tradition as “pageantry,” and another called it “unnecessary.” Without discussion, they voted 4-2 to toss the Pledge into the hopper.</p>
<p>This is in line with what Democrats are doing to Virginia now that they have taken total control in Richmond.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/02/erasing-the-pledge-rewriting-the-culture/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Bob Weir</em></p>
<p>To shed some light on the death of <strong>Fidel Castro</strong>, I did an interview with U.S. Senator Ted Cruz&#8217;s father <strong>Rafael Cruz</strong>, who lived under the oppressive regime of the Cuban dictator <strong>Fulgencio Batista</strong>.</p>
