Virginia Dems Resurrect Expensive DEI

and 'Criminal Sentencing'
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 4/6/2026 7:06:20 AM
Virginia's diversity, equity and inclusion office has a new lease on life with a radical boss and millions of taxpayer dollars flowing in. Dr. Sesha Moon now leads Virginia’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion after Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger appointed her in December, returning the agency to its woke roots despite Republican efforts to reform it. Virginia’s latest budget dedicates more than $1.8 million to the DEI office annually for fiscal years 2025 and 2026. The $1.8 million is larger than the annual budget for “Governmental Affairs Services” and “Intergovernmental Relations” in the governor’s office. It is also larger than the funding for

President Donald Trump’s deputies directed more low-profile enforcement operations this weekend to remove many illegal migrants from U.S. worksites.
The surprise worksite operations make it difficult for well-funded pro-migration groups — including left-wing, business, and media groups — to create the TV-magnified chaos that unnerves swing-voting citizens.
In Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, ICE invited illegal-migrant truck drivers to renew their Commercial Driver’s Licenses at a local licensing office and promptly arrested 13 who turned up. WTAE reported that ICE arrested “13 illegal aliens from countries including Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan.” One migrant assaulted a local officer, ICE added. In Washington State, ICE agents arrested other migrants who attended appointments at federal offices.

The leader of a trade group that represents most major automakers called on the federal government to eliminate its gasoline tax and replace it with a vehicle fee to finance road infrastructure needs.
Alliance for Automotive Innovation CEO John Bozzella, whose group represents automakers such as General Motors, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai and other leading car manufacturers, put forward a proposal that urged the federal government to address the growing shortfall in the Highway Trust Fund with a vehicle fee.
The proposal would function like a vehicle registration fee that’s assessed on all vehicles based on their weight, and was first reported by Reuters. It comes as the federal government’s

IThe era of privacy is officially over in the “New Hong Kong,” and if you’re an American traveling abroad, you are now a target for the Communist-controlled regime. According to a recent warning issued by the U.S. Consulate, Americans entering or even transiting through Hong Kong could now face criminal charges simply for refusing to unlock their phones or provide passwords to authorities. Under newly updated enforcement rules tied to Hong Kong’s sweeping National Security Law, police now have the authority to demand access to personal electronic devices, including phones and laptops, on the spot. And here’s the catch: Refusing to comply is now a criminal offense

Spanish lawmaker Alberto Ibáñez called for the imposition of strict controls on the nation’s inbound tourism industry to force it to reduce in scope during a Sunday interview with the Madrid-based Europapress.
Ibáñez is a member of Compromís, a leftist Valencian regionalism coalition. The lawmaker stressed to Europapress that limiting Spain’s tourism industry is necessary, as he believes it has already made it “impossible to live” in cities like Alicante or Valencia.
Europapress reports that Ibáñez recently submitted a request to the Spanish Congress to establish a parliamentary subcommittee to analyze the impact of tourism on people’s quality of life.
When you think about Delaware, you’re probably not thinking about shady financial firms or Joe Biden, but I repeat myself, still you may want to think about something else because the state has named January ‘Muslim Heritage Month’. Indeed, nothing says Muslim heritage like Delaware.
What brought on this particular bout of Islamization?
The resolution came from Rep. Madinah Wilson-Anton. We covered her in our first edition of Election Jihad for making a scene by screeching about ‘genocide’ at Kamala Harris.
Wilson-Anton, the first Muslim elected in Delaware, has all sorts of thoughts about Islamic terrorism.
“How about offering an award for being an illegal immigrant? No sane country would do that.” That is not a quote from President Donald Trump or Justice Sam Alito; it is a quote from the late Democrat icon Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nevada) back in 1993. Some of the same Democrats aggressively defending the modern warped definition of birthright citizenship were opposed to it a few decades ago, before it became Democrat Party dogma that cheap labor and illicit votes were more important than anything else, and that illegal immigration was therefore sacred. Leaving aside all of the many reasons to criticize Harry Reid’s career, he laid out the case against
The niece of slain Iranian mastermind Gen. Qasem Soleimani, who referred to the United States as the “Great Satan,” was arrested along with her daughter by US officials, the State Department announced Saturday.
Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, who celebrated attacks on US soldiers and military bases in social media posts, and her daughter were nabbed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday as part of a push by the US to revoke green cards of foreign nationals with ties to the Iranian regime. “While living in the United States, she promoted Iranian regime propaganda, celebrated attacks against American soldiers and military facilities in the Middle East, praised the new Iranian
The Trump Administration has requested $152 million in its fiscal year 2027 federal budget proposal to refurbish and reopen Alcatraz as a prison.
President Donald Trump first broached the idea of reopening the prison on Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay in May 2025, but with the administration’s release of its budget proposal to Congress he is looking to put his plan in motion.
Alcatraz was closed in 1963 after 30 years as an active prison that has become famous for its former inmates and stories of attempted escapes, but has long been a popular tourist attraction that sees more than one million people per year visit the island,

Steve Friess, whose late father bankrolled some of the biggest names in conservative politics, jumped into the Republican primary for Wyoming’s lone U.S. House seat.
The 59-year-old Teton County resident told Cowboy State Daily that his conservative roots run deep. He said he was instrumental in generating the initial $1 million raised by Tea Party Patriots during the early 2000s and played a key role getting Turning Point USA off the ground alongside Charlie Kirk. Friess holds degrees from the University of Virginia and the University of Southern California and has spent his career in the investment world, according to the outlet. His father, Foster Friess,
Democrat officials from 23 states and the District of Columbia announced Friday they’re suing to block President Donald Trump’s recent executive order regulating mail-in and absentee ballots.
The suit was slated to be filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. A copy of the lawsuit wasn’t available as of press time.
Trump doesn’t have the constitutional authority to control elections, California Attorney General Rob Bonta told reporters during a news conference Friday morning. Bonta, a Democrat who’s co-leading the coalition of plaintiffs, noted the authority rests with states and Congress, not the federal executive branch. “The framers of our Constitution made sure that how we
A New Jersey Township is being sued by the Department of Justice over a law that bans new natural gas hook-ups, with prosecutors claiming the town is "illegally" interfering with the federal government's energy policies.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in New Jersey, alleges that Morris Township’s natural gas ban "denies consumers reliable, resilient, and affordable energy, as well as the use of commonplace gas appliances for cooking, heating, and other household needs" and "weakens our nation’s energy dominance."
"The Township’s gas ban is not only bad policy, it is also unlawful."

A former staffer of Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading Democratic candidate for California governor, says that the congressman raped her when she was heavily intoxicated and left her bruised and bleeding, an allegation Swalwell strongly denies. (Snip) Three other women who spoke with CNN also alleged various kinds of sexual misconduct by the Democratic congressman – including Swalwell sending them unsolicited explicit messages or nude photos. One woman who connected online with Swalwell over her interest in Democratic politics says she ended up extremely drunk inside his hotel room after a night out with the congressman, with little memory of what
Hunter Biden has reportedly fled the US and is $17 million in debt.
Why doesn’t Hunter Biden just sell a few pieces of his highly coveted art? Don’t each one of Hunter Biden’s art pieces cost more than a Degas?
It is unclear where Hunter Biden is currently residing; however, last March, he was spotted out and about with his wife in South Africa.
Hunter’s wife, Melissa Cohen, is from South Africa. Last year, Laura Loomer obtained photos of Hunter Biden, his second wife, Melissa Cohen, and their toddler son, Beau, on a lavish vacation in Cape Town, South Africa, with US Secret Service agents in tow.
Creepy Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell is going down in flames.
Swalwell is currently running as a Democrat in California’s gubernatorial race.
As TGP reported earlier on Friday, The San Francisco Chronicle published a story about a woman who claimed that Democrat Eric Swalwell sexually assaulted her twice.
The woman, who worked as a staffer in Swalwell’s office for two years, told The San Francisco Chronicle that Swalwell began pursuing her just weeks after she was hired at the age of 21 in 2019.
In Colorado, the highest posted speed limit is 75 mph. I can live with that, even though I think 85 mph might be better and perhaps just as safe.
This speed limit of 75 means that it’s against the law to go faster than that. Trust me on this, I used to be a lawyer.
But now, Colorado has announced that if you go the 75-mph speed limit in the left lane, or even if you violate the speed limit by going 85 mph, and people stack up behind you who want to go 95, then you’re violating the law by impeding traffic. And you’ll be ticketed for it.
Apparently, Tucker Carlson thought it would be a good idea to use his platform to attack Franklin Graham, Samaritan’s Purse and the faith-based community. Tucker Carlson made a big mistake.There are situations that we sometimes have a great deal of familiarity with. The work of Samaritan’s Purse and Franklin Graham is one of those situations for me. Readers here will know of my time spent as a CERT volunteer during national disasters, most of which involve hurricane relief.(snip) the single most effective emergency response mission in our nation.
On his podcast, Tucker Carlson and guest “Bro” Nathan Apffel spin a conspiracy tale that’s wildly out of touch with reality.
In reports picked up by left-leaning outlets such as the Daily Beast and New Republic, Vatican-oriented freelance journalist Christopher Hale has tweeted that President Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod, has met in a private audience with Pope Leo XIV. Axelrod, really?
What kind of message does that send? The pope has declined an offer to visit the U.S. for its 250th anniversary in favor of a trip to visit the illegal migrants on Lampedusa (which might bring him an unexpected round of protests from angry locals sick of being robbed and raped by them) on the grounds that he doesn't want any trip to be political.
The Artemis II astronauts safely splashed down off the coast of San Diego at 5:07 p.m. Friday after a historic 10-day mission around the moon, finally letting the crew and NASA officials breathe a sigh of relief.
NASA regarded the high-energy reentry — streaking through the atmosphere in a nearly 5,000-degree-Fahrenheit fireball at more than 30 times the speed of sound — as one of the riskiest moments of the mission.
Space agency officials’ blood pressure was further elevated as experts closely watched the performance of the craft’s heat shield — which astronauts rely on to slow them down and keep temperatures livable.
In another jaw-dropping example of Minnesota’s collapsing justice system under far-left Governor Tim Walz, a major fraud kingpin in the state’s largest-ever Medicaid scam has skipped the country, just days before his high-profile trial was set to begin.
Abdirashid Said, the top defendant in a sprawling $11 million personal care assistant (PCA) fraud scheme, is now a fugitive after skipping a scheduled pretrial hearing in Hennepin County.
The trial, expected to last weeks and expose a massive web of fraud targeting taxpayer-funded Medicaid programs, has now been abruptly canceled.

It used to be taken for granted that immigrants to the United States would assimilate, adopt American cultural values, and become Americans. That idea, of course, was lost long ago as the lust for “diversity” and “multiculturalism” overtook the political and media elites, but up until Old Joe Biden opened the floodgates to any sentient being that could be relied upon to vote Democrat, most Americans took for granted the idea that people who settled in this country should obey the existing laws.
No more, however. On Wednesday, Shadi Hamid, a Washington Post columnist and professor at Georgetown University,
Oh, Great, Peace in the Middle East Again

Well, it’s another glorious day, or something. President Donald Trump’s threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran have apparently worked, a “ceasefire” has been concluded, and as he did when he forced Israel to stop fighting Hamas when it had a chance to destroy the jihad terror group once and for all, Trump is once again hailing the dawn of peace in the Middle East: (Snip)
The Islamic Republic of Iran was likewise in a celebratory mood, and in its joyful exuberance, fired off a round or two of celebratory missiles and drones into Israel and the Sunni states that it has targeted since the beginning of this conflict.
Israeli leaders overnight Thursday denounced the government of Pakistan, which is mediating the US-Iran ceasefire negotiations, after the country’s defense minister called Israel “cancerous.” In a post on X, Khawaja Asif wrote, “Israel is evil and a curse for humanity,” and asserted that “as peace talks are underway in Islamabad, genocide is being committed in Lebanon.”
Israel has been fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon since March 2, when the Iran-backed terror group started attacking the Jewish state with rockets and drones in support of its Iranian sponsor.

President Donald Trump slammed Iran Thursday night for doing a "very poor job," of letting oil pass through the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf.
The United States and Iran reached a two-week ceasefire on Tuesday that was contingent on Iran reopening the Strait, which is a critical waterway where about 20% of the world's oil passed through before the conflict broke out in February.
"Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz," Trump posted on Truth Social. "That is not the agreement we have!"
