They can thank the local school board.


I hope the new AG can have full investigations and prosecutions of the members.

Congratulations Virginia! What a trifecta of wins - absolutely spectacular. You showed how to stick with your state and not just give it up as lost to the leftist's.

I'm glad the left had previously predicted that what happens here will determine 2022 2024. I'm sure they would like to eat those words now.

Let's go Brandon!

Let's go Brandon is right, what a nice start to the morning as I woke up and read the news out of VA. Hopefully this red wave will continue.

Keeping my fingers crossed that NJ doesn't find a way to cheat with the Governors race.

Why was the race close ?

The answer is so commonly race driven

Youngkin / McAuliffe

white 60 / 40

black 13 / 86

Hispanic 55 / 44

Race relations will never improve if the black community continues to vote as a block for DEMs

Freakin' dominant media "news" droids

Rep. Kevin McCarthy and some other Repubs hold a press conference about yesterday's election, opens the floor for questions, and what do the first two "news" droids ask? Questions about... Trump.

Did you notice how a few rural red counties were still at 65% or 85% "reported votes counted" by late in the evening when Fairfax County finally claimed to have reported 99% of their votes? I could've sworn there were one or two of those rural red counties that actually dialed back their percentage of reported votes during the evening too. There could easily have been other reasons for the delays in reporting the full count and none of those counties could swamp Fairfax County individually, but it still kinda looked like a warning shot across Fairfax County's bow to me.

I can't wait until some bright spark does a write up on measures used to prevent a new election steal.

Aw, he's just hoping that this fever the voters have for paying attention to what the Dems actually say and do will pass quickly. When someone like him melds two bits of wildly wishful thinking into one short sentence then you know the ideologues on the other side are in a very unhappy place.

Hispanic conservative here… I’ve never been worried about the whole “Texas turn BLUE” garbage, or in Florida either (my home state).

Hispanics generally agree with Republican platforms more than Democrats, and this election is a perfect example (as was 2020).

In the next 10 years, Miami-Dade and Broward (the two largest Florida counties, and heavily Hispanic) will be Republican counties.

In MPLS, the 'Defund the Police' nobheads got kicked to the curb. The ballot initiative to disband MPD, amend the City Charter, and replace the PD with a 'Public Safety Department' was rejected decisively.

Virginia: Trump Election Attorney Wren Williams Defeats BLM Democrat After Beating 7-Term ‘RINO’ Incumbent In Primary

https://nationalfile.com/virgi...ncumbent-in-primary/

Former Trump election attorney Wren Williams has declared victory in his Virginia House of Delegates race against Black Lives Matter-aligned Democrat Bridgette Craighead. The landslide win puts the finishing touches on a run that saw Williams energize grassroots conservatives against the district’s uni-party establishment, unseating a 7 term GOP incumbent during primary season.
Raking in a whopping 77% of the general election vote, Wren Williams will join a new Republican majority when he’s sworn in to Virginia’s House of Delegates. The GOP will also enjoy total domination of statewide elected offices, a stark contrast to recent years of single party Democrat rule following what can only be described as a “red wave” of historic proportions.
