1- Be in the birth canal and have a reasonable chance of being born alive.
Northam says -
(" If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.")

2- Have confidence (to some extent) the car behind you had brakes that worked.
Northam proposes ending vehicle safety inspections, raising gas tax

3- Feel confident that dead people and illegals were not voting.

4- Own a firearm without fear of confiscation.

5- Honor your Confederate ancestors.
Gov. Ralph Northam's office said Monday that he will push for legislation replacing Virginia's statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee housed in the United States Capitol.
AND--
A Virginia lawmaker has filed a bill that would scrap the state’s Lee-Jackson holiday celebrating two Confederate generals and would add one on Election Day. The measure by Del. Joe Lindsey, D-Norfolk, is one of hundreds lawmakers will consider when they convene.

OOOps wrong photo -
A photo on Ralph Northam's page in the Eastern Virginia Medical School's 1984 yearbook appears to show a man in blackface.

“I am deeply sorry for the decision I made to appear as I did in this photo and for the hurt that decision caused then and now,” he said. “This behavior is not in keeping with who I am today and the values I have fought for throughout my career in the military, in medicine, and in public service. But I want to be clear, I understand how this decision shakes Virginians’ faith in that commitment.”

"ABOUT FACE !"

Northam, a Democrat, at first apologized for being in the 1984 photo, which depicted one person in blackface standing next to someone wearing a Ku Klux Klan robe. But he soon reversed direction, saying he didn't believe he was in the photo and calling it "disgusting, offensive, racist."


Welcome to Virginia !

Collards by Dave ---




Collards are a Southern Tradition.
Especially at Thanksgiving and Christmas
And around my house I buy em and I cook em !

This years batch were fresh cut and gotten from a local market.

Image may contain: sky, car, tree and outdoor

I got em home and proudly displayed them !


The price was scary --


A Helluva good batch !

I like to cut the veins out of mine before I chop em -


Then I chop em up and soak em in salt water -
(some folks use Baking Soda also)

I will mush em and flip em a few times to make sure they are right !

The water will start turning green !

After an hour or so we fill the pot

Start off with a bit of meat
I got some seasoning meat at the same store --

This meat also makes good omelets and biscuit meat, I might have a stroke or heart attack from eating it but I gotta die from somethin and it ain't gonna be hunger ! 

OK meat in the bottom

Then layer collards and meat





Til the pot is full !

I start off with about 2 Quarts of water !


I cover mine with a colander it allows steam to escape but also gives some drip back !


Turn the heat on high ! !

They cook down FAST gotta keep an eye on them !!

and add a little water as needed !
Once they cook down, turn down the heat to medium ! 

How long do you cook em ?

Till the're done !

I love collards !
I put a shot of white vinegar on mine !

I know different folks cook em different ways !

But this is how I do it !

Sanctuary Symbolism ?

           The Following is part of an article from my local paper The Suffolk News Herald.


The article deals with Suffolk residents telling city council that they want their 2nd amendment rights protected from the upcoming gun law changes proposed by the Governor.

Mark Herring the AG of Virginia says it's Symbolic !

Excuse me Mr Herring it's not symbolism - it's the Voters telling you and their city Government they want the state to BACK OFF !

However the Democrat's seldom listen to the people, instead they Dictate to the people. 
They tell us what we want or need !

Now then - Delegate Jay Jones says that a Civil War mentality is prominent with this movement !

Hey I thought the Civil War was over Slavery ( at least that's what they are teaching in school )
not the 2nd amendment.
So Del. Jones thinks it's OK for localities to choose if they want to move war monuments, 
but do not have the right to choose on protecting the 2nd amendment ! 

BALDERDASH !

Gov. Northam and AG. Herring you are public servants !
You are not Dictators but servants, you do what the voters tell you to do !

How about LISTENING !
