Would a "Racist" call for investigation into Virginia Beach Schools' Systemic Racism
Water Fountains Labled and Blacks and Whites Only in Portsmouth High School - In Today's Pilot
Twenty years from now, the kids at Churchland High School will have some yet to be discovered way to recount this incident with their parents. Tom Brock’s son used Facebook. Period.
I talked to Tom, (something neither the reporters nor the House Caucus did) and found out the rest of the story. I'm inclined to believe it because I know him. When his son was young, he heard stories and jokes at school about black people. Why was the rest of the discussion not included? Because it would have provided the background and context of the post?
Factions in the Virginia House Caucus and likely Virginia Beach politics know that Tom Brock won't play ball and that he will hold others (and himself) accountable when necessary. That makes him a triple threat: Smart, passionate and independent!
DNC backed HRC as early as May 2015
What's more disturbing is that The House Caucus is doing to TB what the DNC did to Bernie. I'm so confused. Why are they breaking their own rules against endorsing candidates during a primary? Is it the same explanation as the DNC during the Election Justice lawsuit proceedings? Their explanation for putting their finger on the scales of the Sanders/Clinton was that they could do what ever they wanted including breaking the rules to back their candidate of choice HRC. OR, are they working with the Republicans to protect Villanueva’s seat? Where is WIKI Leaks when you need them? RUSSIA, IF YOURE OUT THERE, PLEASE HELP US GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS!
Trump is Russia’s useful idiot. Do we have a useful idiot someplace in Virginia Beach? If so, who is it? And why the hatchet job in a first time candidate?
Methinks though doth protest too much!!
There is little doubt that the character assault on Tom is the work of PR machine. When the person who leaked the information to the House Caucus leadership is the same person fundraising to raise money for Tom Brock's opponent? Kelly Fowler, it's clear that there is more to this story than we are being told.
Why does this Susan Mariner (formerly Kelly Fowler's campaign manager) consistently use these these character assasinations as fundraising opportunities for Kelly?
This is MESSY! And in the end, guess who loses? The people of the 21st and the Virginian’s who would benefit from Tom’s resolve to FIGHT HARD for progressive values. I hope Tom realizes this is a bad day (ok month) and that's it!
NEWSFLASH!!! Nobody survives a circular firing squad.
