Spanberger Energy Hikes Would Cost Each
Virginian Nearly $3,500 Year

Original Article

Virginia governor candidate Abigail Spanberger proved yet again she wants to make Virginians poor and financially struggling—endorsing a terrible state law that is projected to increase energy costs by $3,500 per customer. Spanberger embraced the poorly-named “Virginia Clean Economy Act,” signed into law in 2020 under former Gov. Ralph Northam, which will ban oil and gas production in Virginia, mandating that both of our state’s two utilities produce 100% renewable electricity by 2050. This law is already having ruinous effects: Energy prices are higher, and Virginia now imports 40% of its electricity from out-of-state, up from 18% in 2020.

I believe that current Governor Youngkin tried to undo this law but the Dem controlled state legislature did not allow it. We really need an electoral college at the state level so pockets of Dem infection like Northern Virginia, Charlottesville and Richmond don't dominate the rest of the state.

Unfortunately, Virginians will have to suffer through a few election cycles to undo what's happening. Just like Spain, Portugal and other Euros who went through days of outages recently.

OK, one more time. There will be a time in our future where energy will be produced in way we cannot imagine. And they might actually work and be reasonably priced. That time is not now. It ain't working. So until then use all of the above. Fossil fuels, nuclear, and some renewable make sense in certain situations. But if you seriously think that solar and wind will light up NYC think again. Get your heads out of your butts and face reality. This woman sounds like a DEI candidate where the D stands for dumb.

The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) unveiled a six-figure ad buy on Monday to warn voters of awarding unified control of Virginia to Democrats ahead of the commonwealth’s Nov. 4 general election. The 30-second spot, running as early voting is underway, urges viewers to reject Democratic candidates who would decide the commonwealth’s immigration enforcement, energy and schools’ bathroom and locker room policies if elected in November. The ad campaign comes as Republicans are looking to defy a trend in Virginia’s off-year elections, which tends to benefit the party who does not control the White House.

While the money is supposed to go toward "Prevention, Treatment and Recovery" services, Harvie used some of it to transport kids as young as 14 to an "LGBTQ-youth" center that offers "medical transition" seminars.

The Trump administration will construct 10 miles of new border wall in San Diego after waiving dozens of environmental laws to speed up the project. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem issued the determination on Sept. 23, citing the San Diego Sector as an area of high illegal entry. Border Patrol agents apprehended over 922,000 illegal aliens attempting to cross between ports of entry in the sector from fiscal year 2021 through July 2025, according to the Federal Register notice. During that same period, agents seized more than 2,465 pounds of marijuana, 9,873 pounds of cocaine, 565 pounds of heroin, 29,675 pounds of methamphetamine and 4,016 pounds of fentanyl in the sector.

One of the big news stories yesterday was the arrest of the Des Moines, Iowa, superintendent who was overseeing the state’s largest school system, and drawing a substantial taxpayer-funded salary, even though a deportation order was out for him, and he is in the country illegally. Guess who hired him? Turns out the chair of the Des Moines school board Jackie Norris, who recently launched her campaign for United States Senate, is a former chief of staff for Michelle Obama. And she thought it would be a fabulous idea to have an illegal alien take a taxpayer-funded job and have the power to influence tens of thousands of children’s education.

A 24-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela who posed as a teenager in Toledo, Ohio, now faces decades in prison after admitting to a scheme that lasted more than a year. Anthony Emmanuel Labrador Sierra pleaded guilty this past week to multiple charges after forging immigration documents and claiming to be a 16-year-old student at Perrysburg High School in January 2024, the New York Post reported. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio, Sierra, who crossed the border in 2019 and was only permitted to stay until March 2020 by the Biden administration, also illegally purchased a firearm using falsified documents.

Zohran Mamdani’s political party, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), mourned Assata Shakur, one of the FBI’s former most wanted terrorists, who was convicted of murdering a New Jersey state trooper in 1973 before fleeing to Cuba years later. In a social media post Saturday, the DSA said the "American state brutally oppressed" Shakur and her fellow Black Panther Party members. "Rest in Power, Assata Shakur," wrote the socialist group, whose best-known members are Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.). The DSA has taken credit for powering Mamdani's victory in the New York City mayoral Democratic primary. Shakur was convicted in 1973 for the murder of New Jersey state trooper

“Epic” is how a lengthy article in the Wall Street Journal last week described the current investment in AI. In today’s dollars, it dwarfs the investment in the railways in the 1800s. It dwarfs the investment in electrifying America in the early 1900s. It dwarfs the investment in the interstate highway system in the mid-1900s. It dwarfs the investments in the internet at the end of the last century. So, went the gist of the Journal’s article, it must all be an investment bubble – right? – that will come crashing down the way Pets.com and other internet stocks did.

After catching him, Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Roberts possessed an illegally-owned pistol, which he carried in a school-issued car. He also reportedly had $3,000 cash and a fixed-blade hunting knife. Upon news of his arrest, leftists on social media called for an emergency protest, KCCI-TV reported Saturday.
