The Great Displacement In Virginia Could
Decide The Course Of The Whole Country

Virginia Democrats have planned a statewide referendum with perhaps the most diabolically Orwellian question in the history of modern democracy. “Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?” Obviously, relatively disengaged voters will see this question and go, “Restore fairness? Sure, I vote yes.” So let me break down what it actually means. First, newly empowered Virginia Dems redrew the maps for House seats in the most comical fashion. Here’s the old map. And here’s the redrawn map.

Who approves how these ballot initiatives are written? Obviously the Dem controlled General Assembly. When will Republicans office holders learn to fight?

Repubs are 45% of the voters, win a clear majority of counties and precincts but will have only ONE of the 11 seats? The new map is an gerrymandered Octopus, with it's body in DC, it's tentacles radiating south, ignoring all precinct, county, district lines.

The democrat plan is to make it as difficult as possible for any Republican to win an election. When your party accounts for 45% of the registered voters but are represented by 1 out of 10 congressional seats, you have a problem. Democrats are intentionally working to disenfranchise Republicans. But this same party will scream bloody murder if you require ID because it supposedly disenfranchises people. Well it does i guess. The dead.

Districts should be determined by established, legal boundries, i.e. counties, townships, etc. and not be subject to periodic, arbitrary "redrawings" carried out solely to favor a particular party.

I am one of the 45% of conservatives/Republicans in Virginia. It certainly doesn't seem "FAIR" to me that the Dems can gerrymander the districts so that 45% only have one representative and the other 55% have 10. That's some strange math they are using if they think there's anything fair about it. They know it isn't fair but they don't care because they see it as a way to get control. If they thought it was fair, it wouldn't be presented as a temporary fix for the next elections. By 2030, there won't be any Republicans in the state holding office and the Dems will just make this temporary fix permanent.

The left does not care about "fair". They will do what it takes to hold onto power. They don't care about being caught lying. They don't care about being caught breaking the law. The don't care about being caught contradicting themselves on their political positions. They threw away the rule book years ago.

There are certain words that should be disallowed in political discourse, and certainly in proposed bills, one of them is "fair," another one is, "recovery," while yet another is, "equity." If Democrats use any of them, you can bet your last dollar the result will be the opposite.

If I remember correctly, Virginia has the procedure for defining congressional districts defined in its constitution. There is no such thing as a temporary constitutional amendment in their constitution. There is no procedure for amending their constitution is very deliberate that requires considerable time to accomplish. This is a blatant attempt to override the constitution illegally. The Democrats claim they defend Democracy.This would be a destruction of democracy.

#6 I have a better idea. Divide the state in the middle horizontally snd vertically- 4 representatives per state. One senator per state only elected by the governor like originally was. Imagine how much trash you take out of DC. No more gerrymandering.

The Democrats just did this in California. Successfully got electorate to vote to wipe out five Republican Congressional district sand gerrymandered them into Blue Congressional districts using the same "fairness" argument. With a little bit of Trump hatred rhetoric thrown in, too. Fairness to Democrats means no or very few Republicans.

Can we deport mayors? Apparently we can. And the more, the better. Police officers who were actually illegal aliens have been caught and prepped for deportation. The campaign manager of a California mayor turned out to be a Chinese spy. And now a Florida ex-mayor is being prepped for denaturalization and deportation after allegations of immigration fraud and bigamy. Exciting times. Federal prosecutors are seeking to revoke the U.S. citizenship of former North Miami Mayor Philippe Bien-Aime, alleging he concealed key facts about his identity and immigration history to obtain naturalization. Prosecutors allege Bien-Aime used the name “Jean Philippe Janvier” when he entered the United States using a fraudulent, “photo-switched” passport.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) demanded that President Donald Trump give the people of the state a total of $8.6 billion in refunds after the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s global tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). In a letter addressed to Trump that Pritzker posted to X, Pritzker described Trump’s tariffs as having “wreaked havoc on farmers,” having “enraged our allies,” and increased the cost of groceries. Pritzker explained that he was demanding “a refund of $1,700 for every family” in the state, and that because there were roughly 5,105,448 households in the state, the total came to $8,679,261,600. “Your tariffs wreaked havoc on farmers, enraged our allies,

The U.S. Postal Service system of handling and delivering mail ballots often leads to rejected or late ballots, election security advocates contend. The Election Integrity Network issued two recent reports on the handling of mail ballots by postal employees and the use of regional mail processing centers across state lines. The reports claim that current practices could either result in delayed ballots or confusion over postmarks during an election. In the 2022 election, 549,824 mail ballots were rejected, about 1.5% of all absentee/mail-in ballots, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission found. Common reasons for rejected ballots include non-matching signatures and missed deadlines.

The center, which features Scandinavian-inspired design, also includes podcast studios, recording spaces and a store “to normalize social and vocational experiences.” Critics of the amenity-filled center blasted Newsom for the redesign, saying prisons shouldn’t be cushy.

A new FBI memo puts President Joe Biden in the thick of the Mar-a-Lago search of President Donald Trump's home. The memo puts an end to any rumors or partisan talking points; internal emails and memos outline briefings, coordination, and presidential approval before federal agents entered Trump's home. In January 2022, the National Archives and Records Administration received 15 boxes of presidential materials from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Staff members found documents bearing classified markings, and requested additional materials from Trump's team. Archivist officials believed more records remained at the property. The dispute moved from paperwork to potential criminal exposure within a matter of months.
