Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger (D.) wants to spend $15 million to create a Cabinet level “diversity, inclusion, and equity czar”. Stated differently, Abigail Spanberger, if elected, will abandon all notions of merit, and impose racial quotas on the Commonwealth.
Is it not ironic that a pasty white woman comes out for “diversity” even as she runs against a black woman for Governor? The Democrats are so busy virtue signaling, they have lost the plot.
Abigail Spanberger likes to tout her brief employment with the CIA as proof she is tough and experienced. She often phrases it as if she were “law enforcement”. Hmmm. Well if Abigail Spanberger was such a tough, experienced 2nd coming of James Bond, why was she on MSNBC the other night spreading the Russia! Russia! Russia! hoax? This conspiracy has been debunked time and time again. Even Robert Mueller did not find that Trump conspired with Russia. Abigail Spanberger is no James Bond. She may not even be Maxwell Smart.
Former President Barack Obama endorsed Abigail Spanberger for Governor. Who was the last Virginia gubernatorial candidate Mr. Obama endorsed? Terry McAuliffe (D.), who lost to current Governor Glenn Youngkin (R.). Thank you Mr. Obama!
“You know, what Jay said was awful. It’s no worse than what Donald Trump says almost every day, and the things JD Vance has said, when you compare it to the other evil things. People make mistakes. I very much hope he prevails.”
–Representative Don Beyer (D. Va.).
Uh, no. Neither Donald Trump nor J. D. Vance have fantasized about murdering others. Sorry Don.
Don Beyer is unbelievably stupid. If he had not inherited his family’s automobile business, he would be homeless.
Representative Eugene Vindman (D. Va.) will attend a fundraiser for Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones (D.). That is bad enough. But it turns out that Representative Vindman only endorsed Jay Jones after his text messages about murdering Todd Gilbert and his family were released. Democrats are drawn to political violence.
A federal judge–a radical “progressive” Clinton appointee–has blocked President Trump from implementing executive branch firings. The judge does not have the power to do this, but she does not care. She is too busy playing for her political party’s side. She cares nothing about the law.
The President confirmed that the CIA was involved in covert operations in Venezuela. Why? Isn’t the very point of “covert” to be secret?
Mr. Trump hosted a dinner for donors to the ballroom currently under construction at The White House. Naturally Democrats are fuming.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio put the United Nations on notice that the U.S. was “a hard no” on a global carbon tax. Naturally Democrats are fuming.
Senate Democrats voted to block passage of the National Defense Authorization Bill. This legislation would have, inter alia, paid our soldiers and sailors. But if illegal aliens cannot have “free” healthcare, then our troops will not be paid!
Congressional Democrats are grumbling that President Trump’s repurposing of Pentagon funds in order to pay our nation’s troops is “illegal” and “unconstitutional”. Oh, please! Please, please, please, Democrats. Rush before a Leftist federal judge and obtain an injunction preventing our soldiers and sailors from being paid. Please do it!
“I say ‘bless her heart.’ She’s a representative-elect; she doesn’t know how it works around here. We’re going to give her the oath of office as soon as we get back to regular session. As soon as [Sen.] Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and the Democrats vote to reopen the government. We got a lot to do here. They are the ones holding it up. What Representative [elect] Grijalva doesn’t understand is that there’s a certain tradition and process that we engage in here to administer the oath.”
–House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson (R. La.), responding to complaints from Adelita Grijalva (D. Az.) about the delay in swearing her into office.
Democrats seem to have forgotten that not too long ago, then Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D. Ca.) took 25 days before finally swearing Julia Letlow (R. La.) into office, after she won a special election. Democrats have very selective memories.
On CNN, Puddin’head refused to answer a question about whether she believes illegal aliens should receive federally subsidized healthcare. That’s okay, Puddin’; we know the answer.
A federal grand jury indicted former National Security Advisor John Bolton on criminal charges related to the mishandling of classified documents. MSNBC reported the indictment by listing every criticism John Bolton had ever uttered against President Trump, as if the 2 were related. MSNBC went on to declare that this was “retribution”. Poppycock!
“[W]hite Democrats were not voting for black candidates whether they were Democrats or not.”
–Argument presented by an NAACP attorney at the United States Supreme Court hearing on the Voting Rights Act.
Did this lawyer just call Democrats racist? They are, but did he just admit that fact?
During oral arguments in the Voting Rights case, Justice Black Female compared black voters unable to form a majority black voting district to disabled persons unable to access a building. Ah, yes! Black voters are disabled. And they all vote alike. Because they are black. Sigh. This is what happens when you have a “diversity” pick for the United States Supreme Court.
Former California State Controller Betty Yee (D.) said that “trans” females [i.e. males] are females, and should be allowed to compete in female athletics. Mrs. Yee thinks that men should be allowed to compete in women’s events during the upcoming Los Angeles hosted Summer Olympics.
Last year, Los Angeles County, California voters passed Measure G. Measure G required the County Chief Executive Officer to be an elected, not appointed, position. The current serving, appointed CEO, Fesia Davenport, was quite upset with the voters’ decision. So she demanded that Los Angeles County pay her $2 million in severance, due to the voters’ decision negatively impacting her self-esteem, professional advancement, and professional reputation. The voters hurt her feelings! And incredibly, Los Angeles County paid her the demanded monies. You cannot make this stuff up!
“The tables will turn one day. These people [ICE agents] should recognize that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration because the statute of limitations would not have run out . . .”
–Governor J. B. Pritzker (D. Il.), a man who really, really loves illegal aliens.
What is Illinois going to prosecute ICE agents for doing? Enforcing federal immigration law? Has Governor Pritzker never heard of the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause?
“Everything about the constitutional democracy that was Germany at the time before Hitler took over, and it only took him 53 days to change it to something other than a constitutional republic. I’ve been calling this out for a long time . . . I just think it just happens to be the thing I know best because I’ve spent so much time with Holocaust survivors, but authoritarian regimes—read On Tyranny or some of the other books that I think everybody’s reading now—about how they operate. And it really is a slow encroachment on everything that is near and dear to you.”
–Governor J. B. Pritzker, comparing present day United States to 1930s Nazi Germany.
Because Trump “is literally Hitler”. Yeah.
In Chicago, Illinois, 2 illegal aliens rammed their car into an occupied ICE vehicle. The ICE vehicle was then surrounded by a mob, and the ICE agents were forced to defend themselves, using tear gas to disperse the crowd, while they arrested the 2 illegal aliens who tried to kill them. Yet another example of ICE agents causing a problem in otherwise peaceful Chicago.
Also in Chicago’s suburb of Hanover Park, ICE agents arrested a local police officer. He was an illegal alien. Apparently he was doing a job that Americans just won’t do.
“That exception is one that I believe we should not only take issue with because of what it means for Palestinians and Palestinian human rights. But also, whenever you are at peace with the making of an exception, you make it easier to make another exception—wherever, whenever.”
–New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani (D.), in an interview with The New York Times, explaining why he rejects support from voters who are pro-Israel.
Are you paying attention New Yorkers? This guy is hate filled garbage.
It seems that New York Attorney General Letitia James has a 2nd house in Norfolk, Virginia, which she claimed on mortagage forms was for her primary residence. She has never lived there, but rents it out to another niece, who is also a felon. The niece is also on the website “Only Fans” where she publishes X-rated pictures. Wow. How many felon relatives can 1 Attorney General have? Family reunions sure must be interesting.
Pennsylvania U.S. Senator John Fetterman (D.) votes with the Republicans less than 6% of the time. That is just too much, so Democrats are plotting primary challenges to him in 2026. Because there will be no dissent. Even if you agree with the Democrats 94% of the time.
Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner (D.) should really stay off social media. He identifies as a communist, thinks all police are bastards, and thinks all rural Americans are “racist” and “stupid”. Not exactly a winning message.
The United States and Russia will meet in Hungary next week to explore an end to the Russian/Ukrainian War. May it be successful.
For the 2 years of captivity, Hamas tried to convince the Israeli hostages to convert to Islam. The hostages refused. Hamas then promised the hostages more food and drink if they converted to Islam. The hostages refused. God Bless The Hostages, and Thanks Be To Him for giving the hostages the courage of their faith.
Franklin & Marshall College [Pennsylvania] is named for Benjamin Franklin and Chief Justice John Marshall, 2 prominent Founding Fathers. But college administrators just cannot get jazzed up over their prominent namesakes, so the school is looking to change its mascot to “something fun, gender-neutral, and full of personality”. This is just stupid.
