Insane that this has to be said but you don’t actually have to agree with everything a person said, did, or believed to simply be kind when they die.

Update on the Shoosmith Landfill situation, the statewide Gun Ban injunction, and this week’s marijuana legal mess…

Elections belong to the voters, and nobody should be afraid of having neutral observers watching the process and making sure that all the rules get followed.

"He wishes he hadn't done it."

That's going to haunt me for a long time. A great man's life was destroyed and tremendous harm was done to America from an act of momentary, immediately regretted obsession and violence.

STATEMENT ON GOVERNOR SPANBERGER'S MARIJUANA BUDGET DEBACLE

I warned that rushing marijuana commercialization through Virginia would lead to reckless governing. This week, that warning came true in the worst possible way.

Governor Abigail Spanberger and the far-left majority in the General Assembly jammed their marijuana retail scheme into the state budget instead of allowing it to go through the normal legislative process, where it could have received the scrutiny it deserved. Now we know the cost of that shortcut: according to Williamsburg-James City Commonwealth's Attorney Nate Green, former president of the Virginia Association of Commonwealth's Attorneys, the drafting is so sloppy that Virginia's own prosecutors are warning the law banning marijuana distribution, and the law protecting Virginians under 21 from possessing marijuana, may have already been repealed a full year earlier than anyone intended.

Let that sink in.

Because far left Democrats chose to legislate drug policy through a budget bill instead of a real bill with real hearings, prosecutors across this Commonwealth are now uncertain whether they can even enforce the law against selling marijuana to a minor. Mr. Green himself said it plainly: courts resolve ambiguity against prosecutors, and defense attorneys already have grounds to argue these protections no longer exist.

This is not a minor technical glitch. This is what happens when ideology outruns competence. Governor Spanberger and legislative Democrats were so determined to deliver a marijuana retail market that they didn't take the time to make sure basic child-protection statutes stayed on the books in the meantime.

Virginia families deserve better than a government that can't be bothered to get the details right when the details involve protecting kids from drug dealers.

I am calling on Governor Spanberger and the General Assembly to: immediately acknowledge this drafting failure and call a special session without delay to close this gap and restore certainty that distributing marijuana to a minor remains a crime in Virginia;

Virginians were told this marketplace would be built "safely and responsibly." Instead, the first real-world test of this policy is a mess entirely of the majority's own making.

The people of Virginia deserve a government that gets this right, not one that has to be told by its own prosecutors that it may have accidentally legalized selling drugs to children.

Virginia, we’re back.
A statewide injunction goes into effect July 21st, and Palmetto State Armory will begin accepting Virginia orders today.
Orders will be held until we are legally able to ship on July 21st.
Thank you to everyone who stood strong, stayed patient, and kept fighting for freedom in Virginia.
PSA is ready. Virginia is back open.

NOWHERE in Virginia can any law enforcement follow this egregious ban on commonly-owned firearms. We won't stop until every Virginian and every American can exercise their Second Amendment rights!

Sometimes I exaggerate or say things for views. This is not one of those times. When you declare neutrality in every single World War like Belgium has done and rely on the United States to save your ass you lose your right to complain about an overturned red card 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

Happy 250th Independence Day! 🇺🇸

It was a hot one, but we had a great time this morning at the Hampton Park Independence Day Parade celebrating with so many neighbors.

Thank you to everyone who braved the heat to come out. Wishing you and your family a safe and happy Fourth of July!

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

Compare Calvin Coolidge on America’s 150th anniversary:

“It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers."

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.
