The Community Conversation featuring Ben Cline and me, which was supposed to take place in Clifton Forge on Oct. 14, has been cancelled. Cline never replied to the organizers' invitation. I will be there anyway.

“Ben Cline ghosted the good people of Clifton Forge on their invitation to speak directly to voters of the Alleghany Highlands. This maintains his pattern of dodging, ducking and avoiding chances to meet me in public in a real debate.

Walmart spent $43.4B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2025, enough to give each of its 2.1M workers annual bonuses of $2,953. Last year, retiring CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $29.2M — his largest payday ever and 958x Walmart's median worker pay of $30,520. Textbook corporate greed.
