Virginia bait and switch: Spanberger unleashes
Dems' real, radical agenda
Posted By: Dreadnought, 1/30/2026 3:16:09 PM
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger was sworn in just a few weeks ago, but the tornado of bad policy is already swirling around her state. Spanberger’s very first order of business was reversing Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s Executive Order 47, which had allowed for coordination between the Virginia State Police and the Department of Corrections and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That coordination was important because it allowed the federal and state governments to cooperate to remove people in the country illegally who had committed additional crimes.

A woman who received a double mastectomy at the age of 16 under the guise of transgender-related healthcare was just awarded $2 million in the first successful medical-malpractice lawsuit brought by a destransitioner.
Fox Varian sued her New York-based psychologist and plastic surgeon for facilitating her gender-transition double mastectomy in 2019, independent reporter Benjamin Ryan who attended Varian’s recent trial, said. Although a host of detransitioners have sued doctors who rush to “affirm” gender confusion with life-altering surgeries, Varian’s is the first known successful lawsuit.
Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway announced Friday that the state, along with several individual plaintiffs, had filed suit against the U.S. Commerce Department and the Census Bureau seeking to bring an end to the counting of illegal aliens in the Census, as well as forcing a recount of the 2020 Census and 2021 apportionment. The press release from Hanaway's office gives additional details:
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – To defend our fundamental right to representation in government, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway filed the most significant election lawsuit in a generation. This first-in-the-nation suit was filed against the United States Department of Commerce (DOC)
After Abigail Spanberger won the Virginia governor’s race going away in November, the consensus among the political chattering class was that it’s a foregone conclusion the Republicans will lose in next year’s midterms. The experts said this was a referendum on President Donald Trump, and an early sign that his America First movement is cracking.
The same experts pointed to “key Democrat wins” in the New Jersey governor’s race and the New York City mayoral election as further indicators of a coming blue wave.
To be so smug in their predictions, the experts had to ignore the fact that the races were in two blue states and a deep
Catherine O’Hara, a gifted comedic actress and two-time Emmy winner, has died.
O’Hara died Friday at her home in Los Angeles after a brief illness, her reps at CAA confirmed. She was 71.
A native of Toronto, O’Hara was part of the SCTV ensemble that also helped launch the careers of John Candy, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis and others. She’s arguably best known for playing Kevin’s (Macaulay Culkin) mother, Kate, in the Home Alone movies and had a career renaissance in the past 10 years with Schitt’s Creek — winning an Emmy for her role as a faded soap opera actress opposite old friend Levy — and The Studio\

"Regime change? Oh no, I think we would would love to see the regime change," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday while testifying before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations when some Democrat tried to ask him a "gotcha" question about Cuba. While Rubio wouldn't own up to it — and I'm not sure that "regime change" is the appropriate phrasing — I think it's pretty obvious that a free Cuba is a goal of the Donald Trump administration. I mean, they wouldn't 'fess up to plans to dethrone Nicolás Maduro either, but we knew that was coming for months, and we watched it happen on January 3.
Trump threatens 50% tariff on Canadian

aircraft in escalating Gulfstream certification fight 9 replies
President Donald Trump threatened to decertify Canadian-made aircraft and impose a 50% tariff unless Canada approves Gulfstream jets, accusing Ottawa of illegally blocking certification while allowing its own planes access to the American market.
The dispute centers on aircraft certification, a regulatory process that determines whether planes can be sold and operated in a country. Trump has accused Canadian authorities of using that process to restrict U.S.-made Gulfstream jets.
"Based on the fact that Canada has wrongfully, illegally, and steadfastly refused to certify the Gulfstream 500, 600, 700, and 800 Jets, one of the greatest, most technologically advanced airplanes ever made, we are hereby decertifying their Bombardier Global Expresses, and all
On Tuesday of this week, atomic scientists readjusted the Doomsday clock to 11:58:35, or 85 seconds to Midnight, the narrowest window pointing to mankind's purported annihilation ever.
Now keep in mind, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, which almost was the actual annihilation of humans if Russia and the U.S. started exchanging nuclear warheads, the clock was set to 11:53. It's a silly metric, and wholly unserious when considering the geopolitics of all that's going on, past and present. But if we're looking at the longetivity of the Iranian theocracy that's had a deadly iron grip on Persia for nearly 47 years, all indications are the mullahs' time is just about
The Senate on Thursday evening reached a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security for just two weeks as lawmakers hope to pass a significant spending package in an effort to avoid a partial government shutdown.
Lawmakers kicked the rest of the government's annual funding bills over to the House of Representatives. The Senate will not vote on Jan. 29 to advance the deal struck by lawmakers, a Senate aide informed USA TODAY. The chamber will reconvene at 11 a.m. ET on Jan. 30, according to the Senate Press Gallery. Though the agreement reached Thursday doesn't guarantee a partial government shutdown won't still happen, it marked a big step forward

with ICE, Allowing Agency to Begin Pulling

Following weeks of unrest in Minnesota over immigration enforcement in the state, White House border czar Tom Homan announced Thursday that he will begin reducing the number of federal agents in the state once state officials follow through on their pledge to begin cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Homan, who was dispatched to Minnesota after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti over the weekend, acknowledged that ICE and Customs and Border Patrol operations in the state had not been conducted “perfectly” and that changes needed to be made — but he also reserved significant criticism for Minnesota Democrats who have prevented federal agents from collecting the targets of enforcement operations
President Donald Trump’s latest proposed tariff hike on South Korea comes at a particularly fraught moment for U.S.-Korea relations given that Seoul has carried out a whole-of-government campaign against a prominent U.S.-based online retailer in recent months while at the same time pursuing closer ties with China.
President Trump said Monday afternoon he will raise tariffs on certain South Korean goods to 25 percent because Korea’s legislature has not passed the trade deal U.S. and Korean negotiators reached over the summer.
One of the survivors of the Hanukkah terror attack on Bondi Beach was given a non-Jewish-sounding pseudonym when she was admitted to the hospital following the attack, local media reported on Tuesday.
Staff at the Liverpool Hospital in western Sydney changed the name of Rosalia Shikhverg to the alias “Karen Jones” in the medical records, possibly in order to “disguise” her identity, an investigation by Sky News found. New South Wales Health Minister Ryan Park has issued an apology to Shikhverg.
Shikhverg was rushed to the hospital on December 14 after sustaining gunshot and shrapnel wounds to the head during the shooting at a Hanukkah party

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) on Wednesday said the country needs a national conversation about immigrants lacking permanent legal status who “obey the law,” as public opinion sours on the Trump administration’s deportation sweeps. (snip) “On the other hand, people do not want to give them citizenship. So there should be some middle ground here on long-term goals,” he added.
Gingrich’s comments coincide with Fox News host Sean Hannity speaking out against workplace raids during immigration enforcement crackdowns nationwide.

I run a fast casual chicken restaurant in Richfield, Minnesota, a suburb just south of Minneapolis. With ICE agents in the area, I don't know when — or if — staff will be able to come to work. We all have pretty set schedules, and we're tight-knit. There are only six of us operating this place, seven days a week. And I have concerns: Are my employees going to get stopped on their way to work? Are they going to be hassled or detained? Are they going to come back? It's a day-by-day thing. Over the past couple of weeks, we've adjusted

A Tennessee family was allegedly threatened with fines by their homeowners’ association to remove the generator that was heating their house, as the neighborhood was plunged into darkness during below-freezing temperatures.
Talia Caravello said she was told that her generator didn’t comply with the aesthetic code of her townhouse in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood of Nashville when she lost electricity during a brutal ice storm on Sunday, according to WSMV.
Caravello purchased a $1,500 generator, extension cords and space heaters to keep her family warm as indoor temperatures dropped to 30 degrees following the storm that left four people dead.

Lefty New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill urged residents to film ICE agents operating in their neighborhoods and upload the videos to a state “portal” she vowed to launch.
“If you see an ICE agent in the street, get your phone out,” the Democrat, just eight days into her first term as governor of the Garden State, said in a sit-down interview with The Daily Show host Desi Lydic Wednesday night.
Sherill’s administration will soon be launching a “portal,” she said, so New Jerseyans “can upload all their cell phone videos and alert people” about local immigration operations.
It was unclear how much this portal would cost Garden State taxpayers to launch.
A plastic pig displayed in the window of a newly opened delicatessen on the Piazza dei Signori in the Italian city of Padua has triggered a local controversy after a senior representative of the city’s Muslim community called for its removal, arguing that it is offensive and inappropriate.
The pig, placed in the window of the deli Mortadella… e Non Solo, is used to advertise the shop’s sandwiches and cured meats, which are primarily made from pork. According to Il Giornale, Salim El Mauoed, the regional vice president of Padua’s Muslim community, urged both the shop’s owners and local authorities to intervene, describing the display as “in bad taste” and offensive

A sprawling Islamic complex is planning to open in the Austin suburb of Leander – before being transferred to a national Islamic trust that was identified in federal terrorism prosecutions tied to Hamas financing.
Renaissance Academy, an Islamic school aiming to teach graduates to “fully live the values of Islam” and “play a leading role in American society,” is planning a new 19-acre campus in rural Leander, according to its website. It has already raised $3.3 million and closed on the property.
School officials plan to donate the campus through a “waqf,” an irrevocable religious endowment, to a national Islamic trust such as the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT).
Former cable news anchor Don Lemon was arrested last night, multiple sources with direct knowledge tell CBS News. A source familiar says a grand jury was empaneled on this yesterday. FBI and HSI were involved in the arrest, sources say.
It was not immediately clear what charges he would be facing. Abbe Lowell, Lemon's lawyer, confirmed he was taken into custody by federal agents Thursday night in Los Angeles, where he was covering this weekend's Grammy Awards.

Through the centuries, many Christians have made the mistake of trying to guess the exact date of the Parousia. I will avoid that error. Christ’s Second Coming will arrive in God’s good time.
I will, however, propose that the Antichrist may already have walked among us for decades.
In an op-ed titled “MAGA’s War on Empathy,” published Thursday by The Atlantic, former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton — yes, Hillary Clinton, of all people — opined on what she regarded as the abandonment of Christian principles by Christian leaders, only to discover that those same Christian leaders regard her disapproval as a badge of honor,
