Summer ’76, served on the sidewalk outside El Rey

As Virginians are set to receive higher power bills, just remember: Democrats voted for this.

They voted to put Virginia back in RGGI despite knowing that it had already cost ratepayers $828 million and would cost them hundreds of millions of more per year.

That’s nothing less than a massive carbon tax on working families.

REMINDER: Mark Warner promised to serve “no more than 2 terms” and is now running for a FOURTH term.

“The fraud is not real”

Today: 455 fraudsters charged, $6.5 billion exposed

*silent*

Society will never improve until people and the media can look at issues with a logical perspective of: Is this right or wrong to be happening?

EXPOSE IT ALL

Virginia Democrats gave teachers an 8% raise over the next two years. They gave themselves an 184% raise.

WOW.

So NO tax relief for Virginians despite @GlennYoungkin leaving @SpanbergerForVA a billion plus surplus, yet $ to TRIPLE the salaries of politicians in Richmond. I get it, “affordability” was for themselves not Virginians!

Across Virginia, mom-and-pop gun stores are terrified for what life looks like for them once @GovernorVA's gun ban goes into effect.

This isn't about safety; it's about cutting off access to Second Amendment rights.

We will see you in court.

Making it harder for law abiding citizens to protect themselves while giving sanctuary to migrant criminals, shielding human traffickers and allowing predatory men to expose themselves in women’s bathrooms without penalty is not delivering on safety.

Jay Jones should literally have gone to prison for driving at nearly 2x the speed limit.

Instead he escaped with only community service - which he the rendered to his own campaign.

How’s that for “accountability”?

This guy is such an insufferable fraud.

Imagine going 116 mph and being pulled over by a Va State Trooper while you’re a member of the House of Delegates at 1am after a party, avoiding mandatory jail time, then turning in 500 hours of “community service” for your own political action committee before tweeting “nobody is above accountability.”

Good morning.

Hey Jasmine…

Black pilot here.

I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.

I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.

Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.

Nobody lowered the standards for me.

Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”

That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.

Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.

I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.

And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.

They care whether the pilot is qualified.

Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.

And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.

DOGE found the waste, but Big Spenders in both parties put it right back in.

Zero of it became law. Zero. The debt is still climbing, interest payments are approaching $2 trillion a year, and both parties are to blame.

Fans around the world have been paying tribute to the actor, remembering him especially for his performances in Revenge of the Nerds and Bloodsport, which became enduring favourites of 1980s cinema.

Stop this henpecking.

$13M? This is an iconic American place and was in serious disrepair.

Get over the TDS and celebrate this is getting done for our 250th. 🇺🇸

Today is the deadline to charge Fauci, or he walks away from one of the biggest cover-ups in American history without ever facing a jury.

I have spent years building this case. I referred him to the DOJ. I forced the hearings. I grilled him under oath. The American people were lied to about the origins of COVID, gain-of-function research, and the Wuhan cover-up.

@ScottAtlas_IT was inside the White House when it all happened, and even he is demanding accountability. The DOJ has one last chance to act.
