"The Virginia General Assembly, addressing the problem of low starting pay for state troopers, approved increasing their starting pay by nearly $8,100 as of July 1, 2017. Before, these young men and women answering the call to serve as members of the Virginia State Police had starting pay of only $36,207; the legislature's actions increased that to $44,290. It's still a pitifully low starting salary for a job where there's a danger each day you might be killed or injured in the line of duty, but it's certainly an improvement."

SNOW BULLY–Better than a Shovel, Easy to Use, Energy Efficient, Cost Effective and Made in the USA

By BH
Are you ready for the snow season?

I don't know about you, I have a long driveway I hate just pushing snow out with the shovel. I don't have a truck where I can add a snow plow blade to push away the snow. However, I did find something that may be of interest to you… It's called the SNOW BULLY.

I just purchased a SNOW BULLY a little over a month ago. It’s made of heavy steel, but very easy to maneuver. I cannot wait to use it. Shoveling can be backbreaking work, it can also be dangerous because of the amount of stress it can put on your heart.

The SNOW BULLY is easy to maneuver and push your way through snow.
The SNOW BULLY is cost effective; you do not have to hire someone to clear your driveway. Its energy efficient, you do not need gas or fuel, you just push…its totally green in terms of clean energy use. The SNOW Bully does not stress the muscles in your back like shoveling.

To learn more about the SNOW Bully, you can watch the video below and visit the website at

Why We Don't Want to Defund Police - Mexico's Exemplar

By BH
If the US will not fund police, something else will fill the void. Here's an example of a nation with a weak police force.  A group identifying as the elite arm of the Cartel de Jalisco de Nueva Generación that is run by Nemecio Oseguera Cervantes "El Mencho". México refuses to admit it has a narco insurgency on its hands and the US doesn't want to label these types of groups as terrorist. pic.twitter.com/kM7fuCAdWr— EDC NEWS (@EDCNEWS2) July 18, 2020
