Top Democrat Heroically Explains Virginia Election Law To Actual Virginia Voter, Gets Corrected Immediately

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Democrats continued their proud tradition of lecturing America about democracy while displaying only a passing acquaintance with reality after Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) confidently misrepresented his own state's voter ID law on live television.

The remarkable performance came during ABC's This Week, where Warner attacked President Trump's election security agenda and denounced Republican support for the SAVE America Act, all while accidentally demonstrating why voters are increasingly skeptical of politicians who insist they alone are the guardians of truth.

Host and alleged journalist, Jonathan Karl, asked the Virginia senator whether Democrats should simply embrace photo voter ID, given that overwhelming majorities of Americans support it.

"You know what? In Virginia, we have voter voter ID and photo ID," Warner declared with the confidence of a man who had clearly spent several seconds thinking about the subject and taking a long shot,

Karl, who apparently knew more about Virginia election law than Virginia's senior senator, politely interrupted the lesson.

"That's actually not the case," Karl replied. "I mean, I'm a Virginia voter. You don't need to show a photo ID in Virginia. There are a wide range of things you can show for ID. And if you don't show one of those, you can sign an affidavit." Karl was referring to library cards, credit cards, Blockbuster membership cards and the like. In other words, you don't need to produce actual photo ID.

Sources say producers briefly considered replacing Warner with a random DMV employee, who statistically had a better chance of knowing the law.

Undeterred by the embarrassing correction, Warner quickly shifted to the classic Washington strategy of redefining what he meant after saying something demonstrably balderdash. He insisted Virginia still has "voter ID of one form or another" before racing back to his prepared talking points about Republican election reforms.

Political analysts noted that Democrats have become remarkably consistent in arguing that voter ID laws are simultaneously racist, unnecessary, and already the law everywhere. [Isn't everything the Left disagrees with racist?]

Virginia law, meanwhile, stubbornly refuses to cooperate with Warner's version of events. Voters may present various forms of identification, [see above examples] and those without acceptable ID can simply sign an ID Confirmation Statement and cast a regular ballot. A photo ID is not required.

The irony grew even richer considering Warner serves as the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, where members are generally expected to distinguish between verified facts and things they vaguely remember from a campaign memo.

Warner went on to insist, "The SAVE Act is about voter disenfranchisement. The SAVE Act is going to take anybody that changed their name when they got married. They don't get to vote unless they go back and find [proof of a name change]."

He also claimed, "The irony here would be the case if you can show any photo that is government stamped would be fine. Certain states will say we're going to let you show your … NRA gun license but you can't show your student ID."

Election law experts noted that reality once again refused to cooperate. While some states accept qualifying handgun carry permits, many of those same states also accept qualifying student IDs under specified conditions.

At the present time, Democratic leaders had announced a new initiative encouraging elected officials to spend at least five minutes reading the laws they denounce before appearing on national television, though insiders cautioned the proposal faced stiff opposition for placing an unreasonable burden on public servants.

Virginia Prosecutor Tells Gun Ban To Pound Sand, Reminds Everyone The Second Amendment Is Still A Thing

Ryan Mehaffey, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Virginia prosecutor, is taking a hard-line stance against what is an "unconstitutional" new gun ban signed by far-left Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger.

Comrade Spanberger, who has been slipping in the polls amid criticisms of her socialist/progressive policy agenda, signed a new bill last week banning the future sale and manufacture of "assault weapons," including many semiautomatic rifles, pistols and shotguns. The law also bans the future sale of magazines with a capacity of more than 15 rounds, because she thinks people don't carry more than one magazine nor know how to reload.

The move caused immediate backlash from many Virginians and raised new Second Amendment violation concerns. Rather than protest, however, Mehaffey, who serves as the commonwealth attorney for Spotsylvania County, is drawing a line in the sand and flatly refusing to enforce the ban.

With the bill set to take effect this July ahead of America’s 250th anniversary of independence, Mehaffey sent a letter to Spotsylvania Sheriff Roger Harris, instructing him that the ban is "unconstitutional and cannot be lawfully enforced."

Virginia Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger is drawing Republicans' ire and a potential Justice Department lawsuit on her latest moves against the Second Amendment. I would say that she needs to be removed from office, but I won't.

A statement released by Spanberger’s office called the assault weapons ban a "critical step toward protecting families, communities, and the law enforcement officers who serve them." It also puts miscreants who would terrorize or otherwise commit crimes with firearms at a distinct advantage over those of us who want self-defense protection of our homes and businesses. But worse, it goes against the U.S, Constitution and is totally illegal.

Spanberger remarked she signed the bill into law "because firearms designed to inflict maximum casualties do not belong on our streets." She forgot to mention how firearms can prevent or minimize casualties by the time law enforcement arrives. 

These are the same dolts who talk about 'gun violence' as if the gun operates on its own.

The leftist governor added that "while the General Assembly chose not to adopt my amendment that specifically carves out certain firearms frequently used for hunting, I will work with the patrons to clarify this language."

In response, Mehaffey said in an interview with Fox News Digital that the law "is striking at the core of the militia system that existed in Virginia."

According to Mehaffey, the Second Amendment is not just an assurance of personal freedoms, but also a safeguard for a community’s ability to defend itself through a 'well-regulated militia.'

"Our founders were careful to make sure when they drafted our founding document, that the ultimate right of the people was preserved to defend themselves and to defend their community," he explained. "So, the linchpin of the constitutional analysis is going to be does this instrument have some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a regulated militia."

Mehaffey argues that Virginia historical tradition and legal precedent requires citizens own firearms for the public defense, saying, "The second amendment may not mean that you are allowed to have a nuclear weapon, but what it does allow you to have is a basic infantry weapon."

Mehaffey argues that in Virginia, historical tradition and case law precedent not only allow citizens to own firearms but even require them to arm themselves with the weapons of a basic infantryman for common defense. In the Founding Fathers’ time, Mehaffey said the standard issue was a musket and 20 rounds. Today, the basic infantry weapon in the U.S. military is the M4A1 carbine equipped with a 30-round magazine. And let's not leave out the idea that extra magazines are provided to our war fighters.

Comrade Abigail Spanberger

"The second amendment may not mean that you are allowed to have a nuclear weapon," he laughed. "But what it does allow you to have is a basic infantry weapon."

"That sort of weapon is the core of what's protected by the Second Amendment. Not necessarily a nuclear warhead, but a rifle that you can take out and form either a fire team or a company to defend yourself and to defend your community."

Spoken like a true 'grunt'.

Mehaffey is not alone in his stance. In addition to what he characterized as the "overwhelmingly positive" response from his community, Smyth County Commonwealth’s Attorney Phillip Blevins, an Air Force veteran, has also refused to enforce the bill, arguing it is unconstitutional. The ban is also facing lawsuits from gun-rights groups, including the NRA, Firearms Policy Coalition and Second Amendment Foundation.

Blevins told Fox News Digital that "ultimately, courts will continue to address these issues, and I respect the role of the judiciary. But as the elected Commonwealth’s Attorney for Smyth County, I will continue to stand for what I believe the Constitution requires, without apology or hesitation.""My position is not based on politics. It is based on constitutional fidelity," he continued, adding, "The Bill of Rights either means something, or it does not."

"As Commonwealth’s Attorney, I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Virginia. That oath is not situational, and it does not change based on politics, headlines, or pressure from either side of an issue."

Mehaffey believes he and those standing beside him on this issue will ultimately prevail."The Second Amendment is the supreme law of the land, both in the U.S. Constitution and the analog in the Virginia Constitution," he explained. "So, whatever law is passed by the General Assembly is not going to have the ability to supersede the Constitution."

While he has gotten a lot of personal attention for his stance, Mehaffey emphasized that, "I want nothing more than to fulfill my office with honor and to be a good servant to the people that elected me to represent them and to stick up for their rights."

"That's what I'm trying to do," he continued, adding, "I would expect any government official to remain faithful to the Constitution and to discharge their duties as servants of the people in the same way that I have."

In other news, Spanberger's office is reportedly working on a follow-up bill that would ban pointy sticks, stones, and angry words, just to be safe.

Former Ass't Principal In Deep Doo Doo re: 6-Year-Old Who Shot His Teacher

A former assistant principal at the school where a six-year-old shot his teacher is now headed to trial for her stunning failure to act before the nightmare unfolded.

Ebony Parker faces trial in Newport News, Virginia. She stands accused of blowing off multiple warnings that a six-year-old student had brought a loaded firearm to Richneck Elementary School in January 2023, right before he shot his first-grade teacher, Abby Zwerner.

Prosecutors hit Parker with eight counts of felony child neglect, one for each bullet in the gun the kid carried into the building. If convicted, she could spend up to five years behind bars.

Court documents charge that Parker “did commit a willful act or omission in the care of such students, in a manner so gross, wanton and culpable as to show a reckless disregard for human life.”

Cases like this, where school officials actually face criminal charges after a shooting, remain incredibly rare. But this one exploded into the national spotlight, as Americans rightly demanded answers for how a first-grader managed to sneak a gun into school without anyone stopping him.

Zwerner, who survived the horror, sued the Newport News public school system. She accused Parker of ignoring repeated alerts that the boy was armed. Zwerner is also expected to take the stand in the criminal case against her former boss.

The shooting happened while Zwerner was seated at a reading table. The boy had taken his mother’s 9mm pistol from home, stuffed it in his backpack, and opened fire. One round struck the teacher in the hand and chest. She spent nearly two weeks in the hospital, endured six surgeries, and still has the bullet lodged in her chest. Despite everything, she managed to get her students to safety before collapsing.

A jury later awarded Zwerner $10 million. The lawsuit laid out how Parker had a clear duty to protect her and the rest of the school after multiple staff members reported the student had a gun in his backpack.

The boy’s mother has already been locked up for nearly four years after pleading guilty to felony child neglect and federal weapons charges.

ICE Drops ‘Uncontrolled’ Fraud Bombshell Involving Thousands of Foreign Students, ‘Phantom Employees’

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons just dropped a massive reality check on yet another immigration program that's been running wild. Homeland Security Investigations officers have uncovered potentially thousands of fraudulent foreign workers [aka illegal aliens]. Acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons announced that federal investigators have uncovered more than 10,000 foreign students connected to "suspect employers" as part of another potentially massive fraud scheme, this time involving the federal STEM Optional Practical Training (OPT) extension program.  

At a news conference Tuesday, Lyons said the cases uncovered thus far are "just the tip of the iceberg."

OPT is a U.S. immigration program that lets international students on F-1 visas work temporarily in the country in jobs related to their field of study. Lyons said that when the program was first created under the Bush administration and expanded under the Obama administration, the Department of Homeland Security expected "only a few thousand foreign students would receive training approval before returning home."

"Instead," Lyons said, that OPT "ballooned into an uncontrolled guest worker pipeline with hundreds of thousands of foreign students working in the United States." He added that "as the program size exploded, so has the fraud."

"Today, we are announcing we have identified over 10,000 foreign students who claim to be working for highly suspect employers, and that’s just among the top 25 OPT employers. This is only the tip of the iceberg," Lyons said. "We’ve dramatically expanded our oversight of OPT and can report that we found fraud nationwide."

According to Lyons, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officers have visited "problematic OPT worksite employers" in Virginia, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina and Florida. He said that many of the suspicious employers include nongovernmental organizations [NGOs].

According to Lyons, investigators have "discovered empty buildings and locked doors at addresses where hundreds of foreign students are allegedly employed." Investigators have also found hundreds of foreign students listed as working out of residential addresses. But no Learing Centers were discovered in the operation.

"In many places," he continued, "multiple OPT employers claim to operate from the same address, but none actually lease the facility."

"When someone does open the door, their statements are inconsistent, or they claim no knowledge of the business," said Lyons. It's akin to the guy stopped by cops who, when searched say, "These are not my pants."

The ICE director also said investigators uncovered what he referred to as "phantom employees," who he said are foreign students who obtained work authorization through OPT but never actually showed up for work at the sites they claimed to work out of.

"This is not accidental," Lyons concluded. "This is deliberate, coordinated and criminal."

He added that "this fraud is not victimless," calling it a "blatant attack on the goodwill of the American people."

Vice President JD Vance, who President Donald Trump appointed "fraud czar," celebrated the discovery in an X post as "another great win for our fraud task force."

Vance wrote that the administration "will not tolerate foreign nationals abusing our visa system at the expense of the American people."

Democrat's office raided by FBI: are we surprised?

L. Louise Lucas

The FBI just raided the office of a powerful Virginia Democratic lawmaker who's tight with Gov. Abigail Spanberger as part of a federal corruption and illegal marijuana sale investigation, Fox News has learned.

Longtime state Sen. L. Louise Lucas, a major power broker in Virginia politics who hit the campaign trail stumping for Spanberger in 2025, is now squarely in the crosshairs of a serious FBI corruption probe, according to federal law enforcement sources.

Agents rolled in with court-authorized criminal search warrants at Lucas' office in Portsmouth, Virginia, on Wednesday. The FBI also hit a nearby cannabis dispensary co-owned by Lucas with a full SWAT-team search. At least three people were detained during the festivities.

The state senator showed up at her office while the raids were still going down. She told Fox News she had zero clue what the FBI agents were even doing there.

The search warrants were signed off by a federal judge who found probable cause to green-light the whole operation.

This mess piles even more political heat on Spanberger, whose polling numbers are already circling the drain as critics hammer her for shoving a far-left agenda down the throat of what used to be a nice purple state.

This is hardly the first political firestorm Lucas has wandered into.

In addition to her roles as Virginia Senate president pro tempore and chair of the Finance & Appropriations Committee, Lucas is also co-owner of a cannabis business. That shop has already drawn heat after reports surfaced that some products were allegedly mislabeled or blew past legal THC limits, which tends to create those pesky regulatory headaches under Virginia law.

Lucas has been a loud cheerleader for marijuana legalization in Virginia for years, co-sponsoring the 2021 law that legalized possession and pushing hard for a regulated retail market ever since.She's also famous for her bombastic social media game, loaded with crude language and memes.

During the recent heated fight over Virginia's redistricting map, Lucas went after critics on X, ripping President Donald Trump and mocking Republicans with a GIF of herself dancing to Famous Dex's "Hoes Mad."

She declared that Democrats will "fight fire with fire" in the redistricting battle and added, "You can bet your ass that Democrats are ready for this fight."

After word of the raids got out, Virginia state Delegate Wren Williams, a Republican and vocal opponent of the Spanberger-backed redistricting plan, told Fox News Digital that "Rumors of corruption and pay-to-play politics have long surrounded the Democratic Party’s infrastructure in Virginia. However, no one has been willing to do anything to hold these power brokers accountable."

FBI agents conducted a raid Wednesday, May 6, 2026, at the office of Virginia Sen. L. Louise Lucas in Portsmouth, Virginia, according to federal law enforcement sources. (Fox News)He stressed that "everyone is innocent until proven guilty, but it takes a federal judge to issue search warrants to the FBI.

"When the chief of police and prosecutor tried to hold Senator Lucas accountable for her actions last time, each were removed from office shortly thereafter," he asserted, adding, "Sunlight is the best cure for corruption. I’m sure the Commonwealth of Virginia will be very interested to see what comes of this investigation."

Left of Left Spanberger signs law to render Virginia's votes 'null and void'

Bringing the United States perilously close to dismantling its constitutional foundation, leftist Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger has signed HB965 into law, officially entering the Commonwealth into the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The decision has sparked immediate outrage across the state, as critics realize the measure effectively renders the individual votes of Virginians “null and void.”

By signing this compact, Spanberger has agreed to hand Virginia’s 13 electoral votes to whichever presidential ticket wins the national popular vote, regardless of how the people of Virginia actually cast their ballots. [Unsurprisingly, the popular vote tends to side with the Democrats a majority of the time, but President Trump won it for the first time since 2004 when George W. Bush won it.]

With Virginia’s entry, the movement is now a terrifying 48 electoral votes away from taking effect. The current total stands at 222 votes, or 82 percent of the way to the 270-vote threshold required to fundamentally upend American elections.

It is no coincidence that the states rushing to bypass the Constitution represent a monolithic partisan bloc. To date, every single state that has joined the compact is a blue state, moving the country toward a system where a few deep-blue urban centers could dictate the presidency for the entire Union. The list of members includes Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois, Hawaii, Washington, Massachusetts, District of Columbia, Vermont, California, Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, New Mexico, Oregon, Colorado, Minnesota, Maine, and now Virginia.This partisan rush to ignore state boundaries flies in the face of Alexander Hamilton’s warnings in Federalist No. 68. Hamilton cautioned that the Electoral College was not a mere suggestion, but an “excellent” system designed to protect the Republic from the very “tumult and disorder” that a direct popular vote invites.

The Founders were explicitly wary of a direct popular vote, fearing it would allow a “demagogue” with “talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity” to manipulate the masses. Hamilton argued that the presidency should not be a prize for the most famous or the most populist, but should be determined by an intermediate body of electors, men “most likely to possess the information and discernment requisite to such complicated investigations.”

By moving toward a national popular vote, Spanberger and the NPVIC proponents are discarding what Hamilton called a “judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements” proper for selecting a leader. Instead of a deliberative process, the nation is being pushed toward a system where candidates will focus exclusively on high-population urban centers like New York City or Los Angeles, leaving rural and small-state voters entirely ignored. This would mean an end to a republic form of governor. 

Hamilton was particularly concerned with the potential for national chaos during an election. He argued that by having electors meet in their respective states, their “detached and divided situation” would protect the process from “heats and ferments” that might otherwise “convulse the community with any extraordinary or violent movements.”

A national popular vote does the exact opposite. It removes the firewall provided by state lines. In a popular vote system, a dispute in a single precinct could trigger a 50-state national recount, creating the very “tumult” Hamilton sought to avoid. The Electoral College, by contrast, provides “effectual security against this mischief” by containing election disputes within individual states. 

A simple analogy regarding this kind of 'democracy' is: if there are 3 lions and one sheep voting on 'what's for dinner' grass or meat, guess who would win.

Perhaps most frightening is how this move weakens the nation’s defenses against foreign influence. Hamilton noted that the Electoral College was designed to oppose “cabal, intrigue, and corruption,” which he called the “most deadly adversaries of republican government.” He believed that a national popular vote would make it easier for “foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils” by raising a “creature of their own” to the presidency. The Founders’ system ensured that the Executive was “independent for his continuance in office on all but the people themselves.” With Virginia becoming the latest blue state to join this compact, the “moral certainty” Hamilton promised, that the office would fall only to those “endowed with the requisite qualifications,” is under direct threat.

If 48 more electoral votes are secured, the system that has guided the nation for over two centuries will be sacrificed at the altar of political expediency.

Shooter dead after shooting at Old Dominion in Norfolk, VA

A gunman is dead after opening fire at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, roughly 90 minutes southeast of Richmond.

Early reports indicated three people injured in what was described as an "active threat" situation on campus.

A gunman is dead after injuring two people at Old Dominion University Thursday morning, according to ODU officials.

The gunman opened fire in Constant Hall at approximately 10:50 a.m. ODU officials said two people were injured as a result and were taken to a local hospital. Their status is currently unknown.

ODU sophomore Logan Hayes was in Constant Hall taking a test when the active shooter situation started. He said the fire alarm went off and he ran out of the building.

As soon as he got outside, Logan told WAVY, “I heard about a multitude of gunshots go off and people just screaming.”

According to Fox News, officials said the gunman opened fire in Constant Hall at about 10:50 am Eastern time. The extent of the victim's injuries is unknown at this time.

"This is kind of like our new normal," said Fox News contributor James Gagliano. "We deal with these. Whether or not this was a mass shooting, whether or not this was a hate crime. This could've been workplace violence. It could've been a love triangle. We have to keep our aperture open on the investigation. Now I say that and suggest that only because the gunman, from what we're hearing, is down. Police want to immediately go to the sound of the guns, stop the threat, interdict them immediately, get help to the wounded, and then slow things down. The next most concerning thing here, Harris, was this a lone attacker or was this part of a larger conspiracy?"

Look, these campus incidents keep piling up, and the response is always the same: swift police action neutralized the threat here before it escalated into something far worse. Two victims in the hospital, shooter down, campus locked down. But Gagliano nails it. This is the grim routine now. We don't know motive yet, we don't know if it's isolated or something bigger. Investigators need to stay laser-focused, keep that wide lens on possibilities, and let the facts emerge without jumping to conclusions.

Prayers for the injured, and kudos to the first responders who ran toward the gunfire.

Virginia Dems Cling to Their Lunatic AG Nominee Like a Bad Tattoo

If you thought the Democrat Party had hit rock bottom with their endless parade of unhinged rants, you ain't heard nothing yet. 

Virginia Democrats are still propping up their attorney general nominee, Jay Jones, even after he spilled his twisted little fantasies in text messages about shooting a Republican lawmaker and wishing a world of hurt on the man's kids. Charming, right, because nothing screams "top cop material" like daydreaming about double-tapping a colleague.

These gems from August 2022 popped up just in time for Jones' quixotic quest to boot out the solid, pro-life Republican AG Jason Miyares in 2025. Early voting kicked off September 19, and boom! here comes the sideshow. Jones, the ex-Dem state delegate who bailed in 2021 after some "soft on crime" flubs, was griping about GOP tributes to a dead colleague. But oh boy, did he crank the dial to eleven on House Speaker Todd Gilbert.

In the texts to former GOPer Carrie Coyner, Jones spins this hypothetical fever dream: "three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head." Then he drops the mic: "Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time." 

But he didn't stop at the speaker. He encourages violence by accusing Gilbert and his wife of "breeding little fascists," that's code for their two young kids, and mused that hacks like Gilbert only flip on gun violence when they feel "personal pain," you know, like watching a kid get snuffed out. Pot, meet kettle, says the guy auditioning for the role of unhinged villain.

Coyner, bless her, forwarded the screenshots to Gilbert and nailed it: "disqualifying for anyone who wants to seek public office." She called out Jones wishing violence on the kids and cracking wise about shooting him as "disgusting and unbecoming of any public official." 

No kidding. And in a follow-up call, Jones reportedly dug his heels in deeper, floating that Gilbert's wife ought to watch one of their tykes croak to "fix" his views on policy. Coyner hung up faster than you'd expect, and that was that, except for some limp policy chit-chat later. 

Jones' camp ghosted requests for comment at first, then coughed up this loogie: "Like all people, I've sent text messages that I regret and I believe that violent rhetoric has no place in our politics." 

But wait, there's more; they slapped a "smear" label on it all, blaming Miyares and his "Trump-controlled media organizations" for propping up the GOP's "desperate campaign." Pulleeeze. If wishing death on innocents is a "regret," try therapy, not the AG's office.Gilbert and Team Miyares? Zipped it on the texts. Smart move, why dignify the circus? 

But Jones is lugging more baggage than a Delta flight delay. Zero prosecutorial chops, a rap sheet tagged "soft on crime" by critics, and don't forget that 2022 joyride where he got nailed for reckless driving, 46 mph OVER the limit! Cough up $1,500 and some community service hours, funneled through his own PAC. Because why not monetize your screw-ups?

And the crazy part is that the Democrat Party of Virginia hasn't yanked the plug. They're letting this clusterfrack of a clown car roll on, violent threats and all. It screams a disturbing tolerance for rhetoric that puts innocent lives on the line, including kids, for crying out loud. In a party that preaches "protect the vulnerable" while cheering this garbage? Wake up, guys, this isn't leadership; it's a liability. Miyares deserves the win, and Jones deserves a long walk off a short pier into reality.

Some NY Counties Defy Dem Gov. Hochul after she fired corrections cops

If there is a rake lying around somewhere, Democratic NY Governor Kathy Hochul will step on it. This time, she’s managed to tick off several New York counties by trying to ban about 2,000 correctional officers she recently canned from ever working for the state again. 

Talk about a power trip!

Hochul, a former "Miss Grinch" gave these officers the boot for daring to strike over the seriously dangerous conditions in New York’s understaffed prisons. Then, in a move that’s got everyone from county sheriffs to state senators crying foul, she signed an executive order the next day barring them from future jobs anywhere in the Empire State, even with county governments. 

Smooth move, Grinch.

But the counties aren’t taking this lying down. Chemung, Oneida, and Rensselaer Counties are either thumbing their noses at the order or gearing up for a legal smackdown to take back control of their hiring. Chemung’s already slapped the state with a lawsuit, with Sheriff William Schrom saying, “We are taking this action to protect our ability to staff our jail with experienced personnel and to stand against unconstitutional overreach.” 

Boom, lawyered!

Over in Oneida County, the Board of Legislators green-lit a resolution to sue the state, with County Executive Anthony Picente, not mincing words, called out Hochul’s order as “an abuse of the governor’s authority and discretion, and unlawfully intrudes upon the county’s powers of home rule.” 

And then there’s Rensselaer County’s Steve McLaughlin, who’s not messing around. He’s vowed to defy the order outright, slamming it as “reprehensible and vicious.” On X, he posted, “Just when you think Hochul can’t get worse, she finds a way,” adding, “Preventing Corrections Officers from seeking employment with counties is reprehensible and vicious but that’s exactly who Kathy Hochul is.” 

McLaughlin’s not stopping there, either. “Like I do with everything else regarding her idiotic statements and actions, I will ignore this as well,” he said. “I will hire as many as I can here in #RensselaerCounty and I dare you to sue me and the individual CO’s as they seek gainful employment Hochul.” 

Someone get this man a mic—he’s dropping truth bombs left and right!

Let’s not forget why this whole mess started: Hochul fired these officers amid a prison system already bleeding staff, with 2,000 vacant spots before the strike even kicked off. Her brilliant solution? Call in the National Guard—untrained, mind you—to play prison guard, with no end in sight. They’ve been crashing on gym floors and leaking pics of their lousy setup. 

Oh, and State Sen. Daniel Stec (R) points out these guardsmen are “activated on state orders,” so if they get hurt, they’re screwed out of VA care. 

Hochul’s doubling down on dumb here, and the counties are fighting back. Grab the popcorn—this showdown’s just getting started! And leave the Bud Lite alone.

VA Dem compares DOGE job cuts to killing Jews in Europe

"Job cuts? Really?"

"First they came for the gays, but I wasn't gay so I did nothing. Then they came for LGBTQ+1 but I had no idea what it all meant, so I did nothing. Then they came for job cuts; but I was unemployed and not looking, so I did nothing. Then they came for my soul, but I was a Democrat and only pretended to have one, so I did nothing." Anonymous, aka Me

A hyperbolic Virginia state delegate compared DOGE cuts to the Holocaust because it wasn't an actual person he could compare to Adolf Hitler, so one of the world's most evil point in history was used to compare President Trump's work with Elon Musk to decrease budget spending and bring down the nation's debt.

Republicans called this dilution of what actually was the Holocaust "utterly insensitive and hyperbolic." Yeah, just a tad hyperbolic you might say.

Brandon Cole, (Dummy--Fredericksburg) lifted the famous quote from the German pastor Martin Niemöller who spoke out against the Nazi regime. Cole's use of the Holocaust is a frequently used, disgusting ploy by the Democrats to imply how immoral the GOP is, but in truth, saving the nation's future generations from crushing debt is the moral thing to do. And what does it have to do with killing Jews, Gypsies and gays anyway?

House Minority Leader Todd Gilbert (R-Woodstock) said Cole should apologize to Holocaust survivors and "every citizen of Virginia" for associating DOGE's targeting of useless government jobs to the extermination of millions of Jews by German Nazi turds [my words, not is].

"Comparing the loss of some government jobs to the Holocaust is an insult to the memory of the millions who were slaughtered [by the Nazi regime]," Gilbert said.

During a hearing of an "emergency" panel addressing the effects of DOGE on the Virginia workforce, Cole claimed that his constituents are within the congressional district that has the highest concentration of federal workers in the state.

Cole misrepresents a portion of Rep. Eugene Vindman’s, (D-VA) 7th District. Democratic Rep. Don Beyer’s 8th District to the north in Alexandria houses more federal workers, according to the Virginia Public Access Project, but it isn't clear if they actually work.

"I must say that I have seen so many different people on social media rather excited about these [DOGE] cuts; rather excited about these job losses," Cole said. 

"And that reminds me of a quote from a long time ago that said: 'At first they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't Jewish. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. And then when they came for me, there was no one to speak up because everyone had been taken.'"

Seriously? 

These people are not ammunition to make your points

What an ass. If it isn't comparing Republicans to Hitler, it's comparing policies to the Holocaust. The country is tired of this lazy rhetoric and that is exactly why Trump destroyed Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

Biden blocked by judge from giving Obamacare to DACA recipients

A federal judge in North Dakota on Monday blocked the Biden administration from putting into action a new policy that would have made some illegal immigrants eligible for government-supported health care.

U.S. District Judge Daniel Traynor agreed to stop a new rule from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that would have let people with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status sign up for Obamacare. Traynor stated that Kansas and the 18 Republican attorneys general who challenged the policy were likely to win, so he issued a stay against it.

Traynor pointed out that CMS broke the law when it decided to include DACA recipients in the definition of "lawfully present" in the U.S. DACA recipients are people who entered the country illegally as children with their parents and were protected from deportation by an executive action from President Barack Obama.

“The authority granted to CMS by the ACA [Affordable Care Act] is to ascertain whether an individual meets the requirements for lawful status. It by no means allows the agency to circumvent congressional authority and redefine the term ‘lawfully present,’” Traynor wrote.

“As it currently stands, the ACA does not allow federal healthcare subsidies or coverage for aliens who are unlawfully present in the United States,” he added.

Traynor also agreed with the Republican attorneys general that the policy could encourage illegal immigrants to stay in their states because of the healthcare benefits.

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, who led the lawsuit, celebrated the decision, saying, “Big win for the rule of law. Congress never intended that illegal aliens should receive Obama care benefits. Indeed, two laws prohibit them from receiving such benefits. The Biden administration tried to break those laws. But we fought back, and defeated the Justice Department.”

The states involved in the lawsuit were Ohio, Idaho, Nebraska, South Carolina, Alabama, Virginia, Tennessee, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, New Hampshire, Kentucky, Texas, Florida, and Arkansas. They argued that the rule was arbitrary, capricious, and would encourage more illegal immigration.

In response, CMS mentioned they were reviewing the judge's decision but couldn't comment further.

This rule change was opposed by President-elect Donald Trump, whose campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt called it “unfair and unsustainable” back in May.

“Joe Biden's handouts for illegal immigrants are especially devastating to Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, and union workers who are forced to watch their jobs and public resources stolen by people who illegally entered our country,” Leavitt, Trump's incoming press secretary, said at the time.

Last month, another judge overturned a different Biden administration program that would have given legal status to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants.

Illegal alien charged with town's first "stranger rape" in a dozen years, days after his release from jail

Herndon, Virginia -- Officers arrested Denis Humberto Navarette Romero, 31, Monday on charges of intent to defile and rape. Romero is an illegal alien from Honduras. He was charged with raping a woman on a hiking trail outside the nation's capital merely days after being released from jail ON ANOTHER SEX CRIME CHARGE! 

This is the first sexual assault by a stranger in the town for more than 12 years, authorities say.

“This is the only stranger rape that we have had in the town in my more than 12 years as chief of police,” said Herndon, Virginia, police chief Maggie DeBoard in a press conference Tuesday.

Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin blasted local officials for letting this garbage of a human being, a serial sexual scumquat, be released back into the community rather than turning him over to ICE for deportation.

“I am heartsick for this victim and outraged that local Fairfax County officials recklessly release violent illegal immigrants who should have been prosecuted and deported,” the Governor told The New York Post.

“This is a dereliction of their most basic duty to keep people safe. Prioritizing violent illegal immigrants over the safety of Fairfax residents is unacceptable,” he continued — adding that Virginia is not a sanctuary state.

The illegal alien is a Honduran national residing in the US illegally, with a rap sheet dates back years, according to Herndon police. He was released from jail just four days prior to his arrest Monday at the Washington and Old Dominion Trail about 25 miles west of the capital.

He was freed on Nov. 14 after serving just half his 50-day indecent exposure sentence due to “good behavior,” authorities said. In other words, while in jail, he didn't expose himself to Bubba and the gang, nor did he attempt to rape an inmate--he simply bided his time. 

The victim, who cops say didn’t know her attacker before the assault, was on the busy walking trail when he allegedly grabbed her arm, forced her to the ground and raped her just before 9 p.m. Monday.

After a bystander called for help, police arrived to the scene and arrested Romero within minutes.

DeBoard, the police chief, told reporters Romero has a history of sexual assaults in town and the surrounding area, but hey, that's no big deal. After all, he's a guest in our country and we need to treat him with respect and give him another chance. After all, what are the chances that he'll sexually assault someone DeBoard knows?

DeBoard told reporters this is the first incident of stranger rape she’s seen in her 12 years as the town’s top cop. "What is disturbing is the number of times this individual has been arrested and released," she told reporters. "He has continued to reoffend and his behavior has escalated to a rape in a very public area."

Yes, Romero set a new record in the town and his sex crime spree only began in 2018 when the very same Herndon PD received a report that he fondled a 14-year-old child. That triggered a Fairfax County sex crimes investigation, which uncovered that he’d also exposed himself to a 10-year-old and 13-year-old the year prior, per police records obtained by the Washington Post.

But hey, at least he didn't do it to any child of the town officials.

One woman, Jennifer DePugh, told Fox 5 DC that this illegal alien exposed himself to her while she was walking her dog in Northern Virginia last month.

Jennifer DePugh

"He kept coming trying to grab my dog. Then he was trying to come after me he was saying stuff. He didn’t speak English and then all of a sudden he started pulling his stuff [most likely his penis] out," Pugh told the local outlet. "I said ‘there’s Ring cameras all around, you know’ and he didn’t care."

The human excrement is now being held at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center as he awaits a preliminary hearing.

“It’s frustrating because I tell the community you should feel safe here and I do believe they are safe here, I truly do, but when you have cases like this, I look at this and see some part of the system… if it was all working together, if there was a way to make it work, this never would have happened,” DeBoard said, adding that no single party to the process is to blame.

Gov. Youngkin reminded the public that Romero and his ilk aren't going to get out of jail so easily once Trump is in office in 2025.

“When President Trump takes office, the political posturing will end and localities will cooperate with ICE to protect Virginians,” Youngkin said.

Once politicians are directly affected by the policies they support, the policies will change. Trump will directly affect these leftists.

VA women's college bans men students because they aren't women

Sweet Briar College, situated in Sweet Briar, Amherst County, Virginia, is an all-women's liberal arts institution. It is one of fewer than three dozen women-only colleges remaining in the United States, a significant drop from the approximately 250 women's colleges that existed in the 1960s.

The college recently enacted a policy that bans men from attending classes at the all-women school because it's an all-women's school and men are not women, according to facts. The policy makes Sweet Briar an outlier among women's colleges in the nation as it takes a novel approach in how they plan to ban men and avoid lawsuits.

The private women's liberal arts college stated that its policy originates from the legally binding will of its founder, Indiana Fletcher Williams, who passed away in 1900. According to Sweet Briar's leadership, the document mandates that the institution be a place for "girls and young women."

The phrase “must be interpreted as it was understood at the time the Will was written,” Sweet Briar’s president and board chair wrote in a letter earlier this month to the college community. Thus, 'women' sporting penises, or who were born with twigs and berries and had them removed, are not eligible to attend. And anyway, the school doesn't have a wrestling team, nor a football team in which a man can compete against a woman and beat them silly at their own game, so no loss for average athletic men.

But that isn't stopping virtue-signaling progressives from protesting the school's decision. They're calling it transphobic [as if they're frightened by men who wear wigs, dresses, and lipstick] as well as hateful.

The faculty of the school held a vote for the new policy calling for change which passed by a 48 - 4 margin because they recognize the differences between men and women and men who think they're women. The school's president seems to want to stay the course and now we must wait and see if the 144-year-old will of the founder, Indiana Fletcher Williams, will hold up in court. Ms. Williams died in 1900 and will have no say in her will.

Ms. Williams' will was unambiguous in one respect. She stated that Sweet Briar College was to be "a place for 'girls and young women.'" At the start of the 20th century, this directive seemed straightforward. The current president remarked that the will should be "interpreted as it was understood at the time the Will was written.” Since discussions about "gender reassignment" weren't prevalent or seriously considered around 1900, this appears to serve as a convenient loophole. Additionally, the policy requires applicants to "confirm that their sex assigned at birth is female and that they consistently live and identify as a woman."

However, Ms. Williams included additional stipulations in her will that complicate her legacy and might challenge the current president's efforts to uphold her wishes. The will describes the college as "a place for the education of white girls and young women." This led the school to seek permission from a federal judge to admit non-white female applicants after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was enacted. Furthermore, the will makes no mention of the rights of disabled applicants to attend. Indiana Fletcher Williams was clearly a product of her time, and her principles likely sound foreign to many on the progressive left today.

It's unclear what the outcome will be in court and whether the policy will remain in place or allow men who pretend to be women to attend. Progressives will claim that these transgender 'women' are merely looking for an education, but we all know it will "progress" to them using bathrooms, locker rooms, showers and the demand to compete against them on their sports teams and be housed with women in their dormitories, join their sororities and borrow their lipstick. 

There will be endless litigation and enrollment will likely be affected.

GA Dem claims every child in her state is hers but refuses to buy them clothes and feed them

Social media couldn't believe the bull that was being thrown by a Georgia Democrat at a State House discussion on the SB233, or the Georgia Promise Scholarship Act. It failed to clear the House before the end of the Wednesday legislative session.

Rep. Anne Allen Westbrook, [let's pear it down to just two names: Rep. and Westbrook] a Democrat, of course, said the following in discussing Senate Bill 233:

"The question that came to my mind is: Who is my child? Every single child in Georgia. Every single one. Without exception. Not just my own. Not just the ones that I gave birth to." 

And not the ones born to other mothers and fathers who know their child's name, who protect them, nurture them, clothe them and tucked them in at night. Rep. Westbrook has not fed nor clothed them and thus cannot have feelings for them that even minutely compare to that of a parent. And since she doesn't live with any of these children of hers, is she paying any child support?

Corey DeAngelis, a school choice advocate, posted the clip to Twitter, where users commented on Westbrook's take.

"Does she even understand how creepy this is?" Rep. Nick Freitas (R), a member of the Virginia House of Delegates said.

"These people don’t understand the difference between advocating and actually being the parent," another commenter said.

The Left has gone full-blown Marxist where the concept is that the child is owned by the state. Tell that to parents who love their child's individuality. Parents were called 'terrorists' by this administration because they are pushing Marxism in the schools with Critical Race Theory garbage.

Yes, I'm "commie-phobic."

One user tweeted:

"This is the language of Marx & its not aligned with reality. PARENTS are the parents. The STATE does NOT supersede the decision making rights of parents. Period. Full stop." 

These leftists hate a parent's ability to choose which school their child attends. When you actually stop to think about this fact, you can see that it's racist because it prevents children in failing schools [which is largely due to failing teachers who have no consequences of their failing] to attend a non-failing school, even a private one.

The bill is endorsed by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, (R) who looks to expand school choice in the state by creating a promise scholarship account (or voucher) to help families alleviate costs of private school tuition. Having school choice scares the crap out of bad teachers and their bad unions. [See Randi Weingarten.]

Kemp and Republicans allied on the bill kept hope that it would pass both chambers since the GOP holds majorities in each, but it ultimately failed to pass the House of Representatives because what Democrats fear even more than school choice is losing their campaign support from teachers' unions. [See Randi Weingarten again.]

In a move that defies conservative ideology, four rural state Republicans [aka RINOs] voted against their constituents and defied party lines by voting against the measure Wednesday. They should be voted out of office.

Westbrook, a Marxist who went to private school, represents the Savannah-area 163rd district, was among the 89 nay votes, naturally.

Hypocrisy much?

Former president of VA teacher union arrested for embezzling over $400,000

Ingrid Gant, former president of the Arlington Education Association (AEA) a Virginia teacher's union, was arrested and charged with embezzling 410,782.10 from the organization, police said in a press release from the Fairfax County Police Department.

Gant,  54, of Woodbridge, was president for six years before being caught with her hand in the proverbial cookie jar. She was terminated on March 30, 2022 and the board was forced to hire board members from an outside source.

Gant was charged with four counts of embezzlement allegedly using debit cards for unauthorized purchases and providing herself with multiple bonuses for the great job she believed she was doing on behalf of herself.

It took about six months after investigators began reviewing her activity to discover she had given herself $350,000 in bonuses and pay from 2020 to 2022, and charged about $70,000 on business debit cards for such items as gas, Amazon purchases and even food.

The AEA represents over 15,000 Arlington public school teachers. During her tenure as president of the teacher's union, Gant drew backlash over her COVID-19 policies.

One homeschool took to Twitter to expose the union after it sent a letter riddled with grammatical and typographical errors. [H/T Fox News.]

Ellen Gallery, a homeschooling mother of three who lives in the area, claimed that she and her kids had gone through the letter, correcting mistakes. The mother posted a picture of the letter with copious corrections, faulting AEA for leaving out words, adding unnecessary commas, confusing subject-verb agreement, and more.

One offending pair of sentences read, "The fire departments in are region are exemplifying domino outbreaks as well. APS employees are no different or above this trend, yet leadership prepares to send educators into situations that will make them sick." In the first sentence, Gant used "are" when she clearly meant to write "our." Gallery and her kids suggested "neither different nor above" for the second sentence.

The Virginia Education Association sent Fox News Digital a statement from Gant explaining the errors, sharing that the district sent out the draft instead of the final letter--as if the draft's grammar was not a reflection of the writer's grammatical acumen. 

Gant was arrested in Prince William County and taken to their Adult Detention Center and released on an unsecured bond.

Detectives are asking anyone with information about this case to call the Major Crimes Bureau at 703-246-7800.

College soccer player got benched for not kneeling for BLM--now she's getting big bucks

Kiersten Henig, former VA Tech soccer player refused to kneel along with her teammates, in support of Black Lives Matter and now she's collecting a decent wad of cash because the school benched her and hassled her over her First Amendment rights.

In a report by The Roanoke Times, Ms. Henig agreed to a $100,000 settlement to drop her lawsuit against the school. This was also confirmed by her lawyer, Cameron Norris who explained that neither party had to admit to any wrongdoing, but if you are reading this post, you know who is in the wrong.

Kiersten was a starter on the team in her freshman and sophomore seasons but said she was benched after she chose not to kneel during a pregame ceremony that was planned to honor the racist and violent organization soon after the death of the thug known as George Floyd. [This is not to say that Floyd deserved to die for trying to pass a counterfeit twenty dollar bill or hold a loaded gun on a pregnant woman while his cohorts robbed her home, not exonerate the cop who held him down with his knee on Floyd's neck. But Floyd was not a model citizen and BLM tried to make him out to be godlike.]

Henig blamed the women's head soccer coach, Charles “Chugger” Adair, saying that he had scolded her during halftime at that game. After the no-kneel event, he limited her playing time and she said she was punished for exercising her First Amendment rights. 

Since she was not getting any real playing time and was allegedly targeted by Adair in a “campaign of abuse and retaliation” against her, she quit the team.

The suit was filed in March of 2021. It asked that Henig be put back on the team and also be awarded an undisclosed amount in damages, but Henig had graduated by the time the suit was filed and she doesn't plan to finish out her eligibility. 

The lawsuit stated that Henig supported social justice initiative [everybody gets the same grades, a trophy and a cookie] but added that she does not support BLM as an organization because of its “tactics and core tenets of its mission statement, including defunding the police.”

"Chugger" [big beer drinker?] is still head coach for Virginia Tech's women's soccer and he released a statement after the settlement. He claimed to be vindicated and adding, “I am pleased the case against me has been closed and I am free to move forward clear of any wrongdoing … It’s unfortunate, but this ordeal was about a disappointment and disagreement about playing time. Today, we have clarity that this case lacked any standing, and without evidence, the truth has prevailed.”

If you believe Adair that this case was about playing time, you might also believe that Joe Biden founded Mensa.

Meanwhile, the  settlement is not final until state officials and officials at Virginia Tech have reviewed and approved it.

But hey, it's Virginia Tech--at least nobody got shot. And let's face it--all lives matter.

Gov. Youngkin responds to Trump's viral rant

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) was asked about a racist-sounding comment made by former President Trump [I don't think Trump is a racist, but the comment seemed to lean in that direction] that seemed to come out of the blue.

Specifically, Trump wrote on his social media site, Truth Social, “Young Kin (now that’s an interesting take. Sounds Chinese, doesn’t it?) in Virginia couldn’t have won without me.” 

“I Endorsed him, did a very big Trump Rally for him telephonically, got MAGA to Vote for him – or he couldn’t have come close to winning. But he knows that, and admits it. Besides, having a hard time with the Dems in Virginia – But he’ll get it done!” Trump posted about Youngkin.

Youngkin refused to engage in the game when reporters tried to goad him later in the day.

“First of all I didn’t see it,” Youngkin said in a clip posted to Twitter by WRIC-TV reporter Jackie DeFusco.

Even if he did see Trump's post, he gave reporters the right reply. “Listen, you all know me. I do not call people names. I really work hard to bring people together and that’s what we’re working on,” he said.

Youngkin indicated he did not want to hear the post read because he's obviously too intelligent to get into the mud to wrestle with Trump and satisfy reporters looking to make big news.

“That’s not the way I roll, and not the way I behave,” he said. “This is a moment for us to come together.’

The grownups have entered the room, boys and girls.

Virginia came on Trump’s radar after a Thursday comment by Youngkin's Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, that Trump might be more a part of the GOP’s past than its future. Imagine how angry that must have made the former President.

“What we saw was, even though he wasn’t on the ballot, he was, because he stepped in and endorsed candidates,” Earle-Sears said, according to The Washington Post.
