In 1918, King Hussein of the Arabs—one of the great heroes of Arab history—wrote an op-ed in the Al Qibla newspaper.
He said that if the Arabs wanted the British and the rest of the world to care about their claim to their ancestral land, then they cannot deny the Zionists’ claim to their ancestral land in the Land of Israel.
This isn't me saying this.
This is the leader of all the Arabs, King Hussein himself.
And he says at the end of the op-ed, "The Jews are the original sons of that land."
Nine months later, on December the 29th of 1918, King Hussein's son, Prince Faisal, who becomes the first King of Iraq, has a banquet in his honor thrown by a bunch of British dignitaries, along with Lord Rothschild.
Prince Faisal stands up and gives a toast, and at the end of the toast he turns to Lord Rothschild and he says, "We Arabs cannot in good conscience deny the ancestral home of the Jewish people."
And he turns to Lord Rothschild and he says, "To my Zionist friends, I say to you, welcome home."
Respectfully, what the hell are you talking about?
Virginia Democrats literally tried to disenfranchise half the Commonwealth through an illegal power grab.
Then they passed bills to effectively abolish the Second Amendment and impose massive new taxes on everyone, along with turning the entire Commonwealth into a safe haven for violent criminal illegal aliens.
Radical Left Democrats are having a pretty damn good year in Virginia in 2026, unfortunately.
"Why do prices keep going up?"
I'd be happy to explain why prices keep going up...Inflationary monetary policy.
"Why do we have inflationary monetary policy?"
Well, there are a lot of reasons, but the primary one is that politicians really like to spend money, because it's an easy way to buy votes. The problem is politicians don't make money, so they have to get it through one of 3 primary ways...
1. They can tax...which is how they get most of it, but there is a point where taxation has diminishing returns because taxing someone too much leads to a lack of productivity or avoidance strategies.
2. They can borrow...which is one of their favorites because it allows them to kick the can down the road when it comes to actually paying for things; the problem is that at some point the government's credit isn't very good, and people don't want to voluntarily loan them money anymore.
3. They can print it...which is what we have been doing for a long time now. It's especially damaging because when the government prints a bunch of money to spend, it doesn't immediately cause all the prices to go up, so when the government spends the money, they are getting close to the full value of the dollar at the time that it is spent...it is only after the new paper dollars have started to circulate without a corresponding increase in supply that more dollars are competing over the same amount of goods and services and thus the prices go up, because the value of each dollar has gone down through money printing ie. "inflationary monetary policy."
Eventually the inflation gets so bad that they have to stop printing and spending, but that only decreases inflation; it doesn't end it, so prices don't go down to where they were; they simply stop increasing at the previous rate.
"Well, why don't they fix it?"
Because it would cause the economy to significantly, albeit temporarily, tank, and then whatever party was not in charge would blame the party that was in charge, and the citizens suffering the most from inflationary monetary policy would punish the party that stopped the inflationary monetary policy.
"So what's the answer?"
Well...the American people could start getting a lot more educated and concerned about the dangers of fiat currency combined with an ever-expanding welfare state and economic central planning, or the system can keep going until it reaches a critical mass, collapses, and we go through a lot more pain than would have otherwise been required...
National Republicans need to start putting money in Virginia ASAP.
VA-02 is not the only swing district this year. VA-01 and VA-05 are also in play. Brings me no pleasure to say it, but that is the reality and pretending otherwise is foolish.
Democrats are certainly acting like these seats are up for grabs. Republicans must as well.
