Reminder that when we were in office, @GlennYoungkin left Virginia with a budget SURPLUS every year and over $9 BILLION in tax relief to Virginians. No amount of YOUR money will ever satisfy the Leftist Monopoly in Capitol Square Richmond.
🚨OR THEY COULD MOVE: Democratic state senator calls for tax boost on high-income Virginians
"Virginians earning more than $1 million would be subject to an income tax rate of 10% under legislation proposed by state Sen. Mamie Locke, D-Hampton."
"They, like Virginians earning more than $17,000, are currently subject to the state’s top rate of 5.75%."
"The new bracket and tax rate would add Virginia to the small list of states that levy double-digit percentage taxes on high-income individuals." ...

A Maine woman claims a videographer told her she would be appearing in an ad for Sen. Susan Collins...
She was shocked when the ad came out, and it was for Troy Jackson.
"If they're willing to mislead me, how far will they go."
Sounds like the Crystal City Restaurant to me…

Exclusive: Fired general admitted to leaking classified Iran and Ukraine info to two different reporters at two different outlets, report shared with @Axios shows
Bonus question: guess the Arlington diner where it happened?

Well, I certainly rather have a beautiful arch leading into Arlington cemetery than a sphere in Maryland.

Whatever you do, don’t vote for @TheDemocrats - they do nothing but put our nation in danger.
NEW: Multiple federal law enforcement sources tell @FoxNews that the man who was shot and killed by an off-duty FBI agent in Chicago last night was a Venezuelan illegal alien who was seen shooting into a homeless encampment. Per sources, the FBI agent was driving alone when he saw 27-year-old OSCAR D. CORRALES shooting at people in the encampment, and the agent stopped and shot CORRALES, killing him.
Fox is told CORRALES was previously caught and released at the southern border by the Biden administration in October 2023, and he has a previous arrest in California in which he was released from custody with an ICE detainer ignored.

I am so ashamed of @GovernorVA and the @vademocrats. What a bunch of clowns.
Meet “Betty No Last Name.”
That is the name printed FOUR TIMES on this restoration-of-rights certificate bearing Governor Spanberger’s and Secretary Candi Mundon King’s signatures.
The certificate says the Executive completed a review of “the particulars of the individual’s case.”
There are possible criminal implications here. This is not restoring a dead persons right to vote. This is restoring a non existent persons right to vote. Va. Code § 18.2-472 criminalizes a public officer’s fraudulent false entry in an official record in that officer’s custody. Creating a false restoration record triggers this statute. And get this … a conviction removes the office holder from office and bars them from holding future office….

I am a proud and loyal Democrat. I served in President Clinton’s National Security Council and worked for Madeleine Albright at the State Department. I ran for Congress as a Democrat, have voted Democratic all my life, and expect to continue doing so.
But I would never vote for Abdul El-Sayed. In my judgment, he does not represent the values of our party or our nation. I urge my fellow patriotic Democrats in Michigan to leave the Senate line blank or vote for Republican Mike Rogers.
This is an exceptional case, and I do not make this recommendation lightly. We can support Democratic majorities nationally while refusing to support a candidate who violates our core values. Loyalty to our party should strengthen our principles, never require us to abandon them.
Your Holiness, @Pontifex - please call your brother in Christ, Cardinal Cupich and fix this mess. Protect the unborn.

An Open Letter to Cardinal Blase Cupich
Your Eminence —
I write as one of your own, a man who has knelt in your churches and trusted the men who wear your ring.
On Thursday night you will stand before a hall full of donors and place the Nostra Aetate Award in the hands of Michael Sacks. The number is public. Specifically, 1.1-million dollars was provided. This included $500,000 from the Sacks Family Foundation to Planned Parenthood of Illinois. Another $600,000 from him and his wife to the Prairie State Access Fund, which has flowed to Planned Parenthood and the Chicago Abortion Fund. He backs Personal PAC. Nobody disputes the math.
What the faithful are disputing is the meaning you are about to assign to it.
You have said the award honors him as a Jewish leader and does not endorse his politics. Fine. But an award is not a footnote. It is a headline. It is the Archdiocese of Chicago, at a dinner for priestly formation, telling the city which kind of generosity gets celebrated. And the kind getting celebrated this Thursday is the kind that funds abortuaries.
I will not pretend to know your interior. Maybe you have weighed this and found peace with it. But there are people watching from a place no press release can reach.
The Church teaches that the souls of children who die before baptism rest in the mercy of God — not because of what anyone did, but because of who He is. God’s angels see what unfolds on earth below. If those little ones now belong to that company, they are watching a cardinal of Peter’s Church prepare to honor a man whose money helped end lives like theirs. Their tears, if they have any left to shed, would not be for themselves. They would be for us.
You asked the Church to avoid the appearance of evil. This appearance was avoidable from the first conversation about the guest list. A different name. A different night. A different honor. Any of it.
Instead the banquet proceeds, the petitions climb past a thousand signatures, CatholicVote and the Pro-Life Action League are showing up at the door, and the only thing moving is the story.
Your Eminence, rescind it. Not for me. For the readers who still think a bishop’s word means something, and who are learning this week that it might not.

WATCH WHAT @60Minutes DIDN’T SHOW YOU.
Here’s the FULL, uncut interview with @DHSGenCounsel James Percival.
I am never leaving this platform. Thanks @HillaryClinton for this incredible memory.
Inject this into my veins: “Even the DSA—who are Communists cloaked in Millennial metrosexualism.”
My friends know my wife is a huge anti-Trumper. She believes firmly that he's gonna seize permanent power and never let go. She knows this in her soul and cannot be dissuaded from the certainty by any argument. I know. I've tried.
Setting aside the fact the man is *old* and has no desire for a third term, I keep coming back to the fact that Trump has become the defining personality of American politics in the 21st century. Doesn't matter if I think he's a showboating showman with no real statesmanship. He towers over Obama, W. Bush, every Senator, every Congressman, every Governor, etc.
Everyone and everything just pings and pongs off the hull of the U.S.S. Trump and it's all reactive politics all the time. Even the DSA—who are Communists cloaked in Millennial metrosexualism—just hurl rotten fruit at this guy. Using him to hype up their growing base. If he did not exist they would have to invent him.
The Orange One is the dragon breathing fire across the American political scene, and the number of jousting pugilists who tilt at the Orange windmill is legion.
He defines who they are. Never the opposite. And I suspect in many ways this is what drives their hate.

So in other words -- seize the means of production?
Those silly Bolsheviks are at it again....
This is the type of “woman” @vademocrats like @LauraJaneCohen & her buddy @KarlFrisch “demand” normal people affirm and allow into our communities and schools.
The thing @TheDemocrats say isn’t happening keeps on happening.
