Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. The governor again said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.”
- Matthew 27:20-21
Some things never change.
From day one, this Governor has faced significant political and media opposition. Too often, only one side of the story is told.
During the last election cycle, there were false attacks against conservative Republicans who supports the Governor’s agenda (the media never reported that). But the reality is that this Governor has shown a willingness to challenge entrenched interests, lobbyists, and the status quo.
Whether people agree with every decision or not, that independence has clearly made some powerful groups uncomfortable.
Do your own research but we, under the Governor’s leadership, are doing great things. Until the Governor was elected, we were measuring economic development in terms of millions. Now we are measuring it in terms of BILLIONS. We are moving the state forward and I invite everyone to bury the hatchets and work together to continue make WV the best place to live and raise a family.
@OperaStrange That story was debunked. He lied.
We made a television ad for the Upshur Republican Executive Committee in the 2020 General Election, and he tried to turn it into a story. Not in 2024.
That was also under the former chairwoman who since passed unfortunately.
@OperaStrange@kaylayoungforwv Traditional party politics is honestly dying, because everyone is figuring out there are corrupt politicians in both parties funded by the same people.
@OperaStrange@kaylayoungforwv I’m trying to figure that out myself.
I guess she’s upset because they didn’t make any pick-ups in the state senate with the candidates pushed by her donors that were challenging incumbents… and she’s blaming me for it.
You’re completely controlled by special interests undermining the working class, and one of these days the Democratic-base is going to realize it.
You exist for no other reason but to make “your” party unelectable.
“If we care about our democratic republic, we must stop pretending the threat only comes from government power.
We must confront the reality that corporate control of local media is hollowing out journalism from the inside and taking public trust with it.”
I would like to share another update. Yesterday evening, @BrianHeltonWV informed us that Sarah's mother called and spoke with him about the family's deep love for their daughter and their heartfelt appreciation for everyone who has contributed of their own accord.
To my longtime audience, thanks again for everything you are doing for this beautiful family. I will let you know if there are any developments or if more information becomes available.
Right now, I am also in communication with a member of the Beckstrom family who will be in contact with her father when timing is appropriate. Thank you to everyone who has donated.
Please continue to pray for the Beckstrom family and for Andrew Wolfe as he fights for his life.
Mountaineer Journal has launched a GoFundMe to support the family of West Virginia National Guard soldier Sarah Beckstrom, who tragically passed after the D.C. shooting. I am coordinating with @BrianHeltonWV and the Governor's Office. https://t.co/r2fOKkoGht
@WkUpSheep We appreciate you. This family has lost a daughter. Our state and country have lost a hero.
One of the father’s relatives called me yesterday and said once he verifies everything through our state gov contacts, he will reach her father after the memorial services conclude.
It's absolutely heartbreaking to hear about our two brave National Guardsmen who were ruthlessly gunned down just outside of the White House.

@WkUpSheep I did see that, and it’s sickening. I live in the county right next to the Beckstrom’s and I’m in close contact with friends of mine in the state legislature. I spoke to a friend of the family, and have the father’s phone number. I will be reaching out next week when appropriate.
