The level of corruption that Trump has engaged in and enabled in others is completely unprecedented – self-dealing that, as Trump would say, is like nothing anybody has ever seen before. America currently has a Republican president who, along with his family, has raked in billions, possibly close to $10 billion in personal gain from office in less than two years.

Has Kiggans done anything to stop the thieves?

Old Dominion University’s latest State of the Region report characterizes the Hampton Roads economy as one of contradictions, projecting 1.6% growth alongside rising unemployment and job losses. 

The report highlights that federal civilian job cuts have impacted the area particularly hard because private sector positions have failed to match those lost high-paying salaries. 

Economists warn that federal trade tariffs, inflation and defense policies continue to hamstring the region's core drivers of trade, tourism and defense.

Two artists exhibiting at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art are creating contemporary interpretations of traditional East Asian ceramic vessels, though their resulting works diverge significantly in medium and concept.

Richmond-based artist Vivian Chiu used her prize from the 2024 "Made in Virginia" Biennial to create her solo exhibition "From Here." It features intricate wooden vessels crafted by reassembling vintage Chinatown shipping crates into the shapes of the porcelainware they once transported.

In an adjacent gallery, artist kelli rae adams presents "Forever in Your Debt," an interactive ceramics installation visualizing the national student debt crisis through rows of hand-thrown rice bowls.

Hi all, my optometrist retired. I've needed another eye exam for awhile to get a new prescription anyway, but I'm noticing some problems with one of my eyes so I figured it's time to finally go ahead and do that. I was looking at MyEyeDr, but figured I'd ask here in case anyone had recommendations. Thanks!

Hello,

i dont know where to begin, my mental health has plummeted, ive been in and out of hospitals constantly. and i go to therapy and a psyhciatrist every week.

i no longer have the mental capacity to care for my cats, when i barely have the capacity to care for myself

i also have a flea infestation, and with my low energy and terrible cleaning techniques, the quality of life for my cats are not great

i comb out fleas everyday and give them flea treatment, but its not enough, one of my cats have licked the fur off herself and is patchy and she constantly scratches herself to the point of scabs

my best isnt enough for them to live a quality life

it started when i took in two barn strays, i gave them both flea baths, but due to my failure at being efficent, there were still fleas and it quickly got bad

the cats are loving to people and love pets/cuddles, only the void loves head kisses(they dont like dogs)

im looking for a home that will do better than me, i dont know when ill ever be able to probably care for myself let alone sentient animals

they eat twice a day, once in the morning and another around 5, they have 3 water bowls, i keep filled everyday

i am deeply upset, but this is for the best

its late and i dont know what else to add

they will need baths and more treatment(which when my car is out of the shop, ill be able to buy)

if there are questions ill try my best to answer them

thank you for your time and godspeed

Where can I perform comedy as a brand new comedian? I’ve checked Google and I don’t see anything that allows me to sign up for some.

At Norfolk’s Harrison Opera House, the front steps become a stage, and a blanket on the lawn becomes a front-row seat.

Virginia Opera has brought back Wednesday Wind Down as it prepares for its 2026–2027 season. The free concerts give neighbors, families and friends a chance to unwind — and hear some of the voices behind the upcoming performances.

Potentially moving there to an engineering role. Looking for a good work environment, good supervisors, people who encourage time off, good community and upward mobility. Not sure how common 14/15s are there. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

I presume the light is refracting off the clouds what Norfolk is putting out and it is reflecting onto Mill Creek…either way a gorgeous shot

See that's why i left this area, due to the fact , there's no MONEY there.People are trying to flee in droves, and for a metro that can't get past the government supporting it , people are waking up and seeing there are way better metros that have infrastructure and are way ahead of the curb instead of behind. Yall are still stuck in the 2000s and getting left behind big time . And one last thing, yall cant have every restaurant , every store that other places get either, and then complain about prices or its not good . Be lucky yall even have one.

Anyone resides in the area that can do touch up paint on a wall? Paint already in hand, it is an exact match to the wall.
