There's something psychotic about those who produce nothing of value for society but wait around for others to create jobs and wealth for millions of people, only to try to immediately steal it all.
Nah. In one of the wealthiest counties in the nation, maybe before we start nixing religious holidays, let's figure out how to stop school being closed for a week+ due to a blizzard that never comes to fruition or a thunderstorm predicted to start during school hours.
🚨New: Fairfax County Public Schools is asking parents if they’re ok with eliminating Christmas in the school calendar, and other religious and cultural observances like Diwali, Eid al-Fitr, and Rosh Hashanah.
FCPS has been under pressure recently to incorporate more five day school weeks.
I don’t serve PA-08 to impress the prognosticators. Results for our residents beat national environment every time, but Cognetti wouldn’t know anything about that. She’s too busy cozying up to the Democrat machine for a chance at a promotion to do her job in Scranton.
Maybe your consultants are too busy trying to elect a Nazi in Maine to get their facts straight, but I crossed the aisle and literally forced a vote for those tax credits.
She did not "get caught". She turned herself into authorities. Her dog's mail in ballot was successfully counted in the statewide election to recall Gov. Newsom in 2021, but it was rejected in the 2022 federal primary election. Proof of ID or residence is not required in CA elections. But proof of residence & registration is required for first time voters in a *federal* election. Only the dog's ballot in the *federal* election was rejected. The dog's mail in ballot was accepted for the CA state election!
At the end of the day, Democrats and their condescending shills in the media are only doing themselves a disservice by purposely misrepresenting the real issue & telling people they're idiots for questioning how exactly we end up here nearly every single election cycle in CA.
I mostly agree with this with the following caveat:
It might not be legal fraud to grab 1,000 ballots, mark your favorite candidate, and have a homeless person sign it with a smiley face
But it is a moral fraud because you've just disenfranchised 1000 voters who actually care about their vote, care about the results, care about their city
If that is what is happening (which seems likely) then it calls into question the very nature of representative democracy. Why do we even have a vote if the vote result isn't determined by individuals but by NGOs who can harvest as many votes as they want using these strategies?
The story of MAHA trying to develop dissident experts cannot be understood without the story of harms done (and not publicly repented for) by the "real" experts.
Nothing dumber on this site than people framing this like Republicans thought Pratt was going to win so they can avoid addressing California’s never ending election shenanigans.
The whole Spencer Pratt thing is like liberals being confused that Wendy Davis didn’t do well — he’s a Republican running in a big liberal city in an off-year election in the context of an incredibly unpopular Republican president, what was supposed to happen here?
Mayor Cognetti funneled $75,000 to an organization she’s a part of to embed DEI “at the core of every decision” in city government, & even wanted a paid DEI coordinator enforcing DEI policies at every turn.
Cognetti is a radical progressive in sheep’s clothing.

Unpopular opinion:
If I knew my unborn child would have a severe disability that would require lifelong intensive care, I would seriously consider termination.
Not because I don't value disabled people. Not because I lack compassion but because love alone doesn't provide specialized healthcare, financial resources, emotional resilience, or round-the-clock caregiving.
Raising a child with profound disabilities can demand sacrifices that affect parents, siblings, and the child themselves.
People should be allowed to have honest conversations about whether they are truly prepared for that responsibility without being shamed for it.
🚨🚨 Paige Cognetti is campaigning today with fellow Obama staffer Jon Carson, who authored the EO that created the devastating Rain Tax that charges NEPA families a fee for the rain that falls on their homes & in their driveways.
With Cognetti, it’s always about impressing the liberal elites and never about helping the people she’s supposed to serve.
This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21.
The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided.
I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley.
She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained.
Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000.
When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed.
Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism):
50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective.
I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.
The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk.
We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.
This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast.
You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change.
To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward.
As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.
It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome.
Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️
