Democrats Now Want to ABOLISH the Virginia Government
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 5/13/2026 11:45:38 AM
The Virginia Supreme Court handed Democrats a stinging defeat — and instead of accepting it, they're floating the idea of blowing up the government entirely. Last week, the court struck down Democrats' rushed redistricting referendum, ruling it unconstitutional (Snip) Marc Elias, the left's go-to power lawyer for all things election-related, took the rhetoric to a genuinely alarming place. Elias responded to the ruling by invoking language from the Virginia Constitution itself. Not to make a legal argument, but to suggest that the current Virginia government has lost its legitimacy and therefore can and should be abolished.

A Democratic Fantasy World
10 replies
A new poll suggests that a sizable number of Democrats -- more than 40% in some cases -- believe the attempts on President Donald Trump's life were fake.
The poll, which surveyed 1,000 Americans over the age of 18, was conducted by NewsGuard and YouGov. It asked people to respond to three statements:
"The assassination attempt against Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner in April 2026 was staged."
"The assassination attempt against Donald Trump at a Trump presidential campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024 was staged."
"The assassination attempt against Donald Trump at Trump International Golf Club in September 2024 was staged."

Several Frontier Airlines passengers suffered minor injuries over the weekend when their plane, departing from the Denver airport, struck a person trespassing on the runway. That person was killed after being hit by the plane's engine, which caused an explosion and fire that aborted the takeoff.
That man has now been identified, which is raising questions about whether this was a sinister act, given his extensive criminal history.
Authorities said Michael Mott, 41, was the man hit by the plane on May 9. Mott has been arrested 20 times previously, including for attempted murder. He was most recently arrested about a month before he trespassed at the Denver airport.
History is rife with examples of tyrannical movements that never end their hunt for their ideological enemies.
In 1989, Iran's then-Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, issued a fatwa against The Satanic Verses author Salman Rushdie. Rushdie was forced to remain under police protection or in hiding after that. (Snip) Thus, the blinding pathological hatred the left has cultivated against Donald Trump will not simply dissipate once the man retires from office. So long as he lives, they will try to jail, bankrupt, destroy, and/or literally murder him.
There's big news about the new Trump-class battleship, but there's even bigger and more important news about what's going on in the Pentagon under reform-minded Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. But first — some things never change — I must nerd out on the battleship news.
The Navy says it will now do what I said it should do.
When the Trump-class was announced late last year, initial reaction from naval enthusiasts ranged from an almost childlike enthusiasm to deep skepticism. I had a lot of the former and a little of the latter —
There are only two reasons why I even know who Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) is.
The first is that ridiculous trip he made to El Salvador to have margaritas with MS-13 gang banger Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
The second is that every time he's a part of a Senate hearing with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, he says something stupid and Rubio completely owns him. (Snip) Well, on Tuesday, it was FBI Director Kash Patel's turn. During a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Van Hollen, who never has anything of substance to say, resorted to bringing up tabloid rumors from The Atlantic about Patel's "excessive drinking."

On Tuesday, a grand jury indicted the alleged White House Correspondents' Dinner attacker, Cole Allen, on four counts in the attempted attack on President Trump, other administration officials, and presumably anyone who got in the way. [Tweet]
You can see the indictment here.
The counts include:
On or about April 25, 2026, in the District of Columbia, the defendant, COLE TOMAS ALLEN, did knowingly attempt to kill the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. (Attempt to Assassinate the President of the United States, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1751 (c)).
The penalty for attempting to assassinate the president is:
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is on maternity leave, so Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed the press today, and he didn’t disappoint. The Florida Republican remained calm as he handled the hectic scene inside the briefing room, where reporters were eager to learn about the developing situation in the Strait of Hormuz and Iran.
Rubio, who is considered a potential 2028 contender, likely enjoyed the media attention, though he made jokes about two-parters from the pool while joking that he needed a laser pointer, as his pointing to reporters while taking questions wasn't effective.
President Donald Trump has recently floated a rebrand of the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) to NICE as a means of baiting the liberal media and Democrats into complementing the vital piece of his administration every time they mention it.
What started as a joke on Trump’s Truth Social has begun to take shape toward a real policy change, as the White House and the Department of Homeland Security have unveiled what the rebranded agency would look like. [Tweets]
Of course, the Democrats are already throwing a fit over the posts (while still spreading falsehoods).
There's been another Secret Service-involved shooting — this one near the White House on Monday afternoon.
An armed man was confronted by Secret Service agents. The man was shot by the Secret Service, taken into custody, and is now being treated at the hospital. [Tweet, video]
Real Clear Politics' Susan Crabtree had more details on the incident. (Snip) More details:
The suspect, who I'm told was armed, is now recovering at George Washington Hospital from wound(s) inflicted by Secret Service gunfire.
The Secret Service has recovered the suspect's firearm.
No Uniformed Division officers were shot or hurt,
Wild dashcam video shows the nightmarish moment a United Airlines plane struck a bakery truck on the New Jersey Turnpike while coming in to land at Newark Airport.
Footage inside the truck shows the driver, who works for the Baltimore-based H&S Bakery, looking happy and relaxed while driving along the Turnpike Sunday afternoon when the terrifying saga unfolded.
He had been belting out a tune just as the whistling sound of incoming United Airlines Flight 169 could be heard overhead.
The confused driver glanced up quickly as one of the jet’s wheels made impact with the truck’s window — sending glass flying.

California’s emergency telephone service has become another victim of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s dismal leadership.
After seven years and nearly $500 million spent, California’s 911 emergency system overhaul is a failure, as Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, reported.
“During his first year in office, the governor confidently projected that he would replace the state’s emergency call system within three years, a goal that officials previously estimated would cost $132 million. But nearly seven years later, the state has spent more than $450 million on a regionalized ‘Next Generation’ digital system that suffered such appalling failures

Black Caucus could be wiped out by redistricting wars 29 replies
WASHINGTON — The Congressional Black Caucus, a power center in the Democratic Party for decades, saw its membership rise this Congress to an all-time high of 58 House members. Now, thanks to a Supreme Court redistricting ruling that’s expected to dramatically diminish Black representation on Capitol Hill, the CBC is fighting a five-alarm fire that could devastate its membership. CBC Chair Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., said as many as 19 of the caucus’ members could be affected by the redistricting wars in a worst-case scenario, though she noted it’s still fluid given that states are still drawing new maps in the
Appearing on MSNBC to talk to Lawfare ally Nicole Wallace, wife of New York Times narrative engineer Michael Schmidt – the guy who received leaks from FBI Director James Comey via Daniel Richman, former CIA Director John Brennan notes there are “legions” of operatives still embedded within the DOJ, FBI and CIA who are working against President Donald Trump.
This is not a surprise as we have noted the Trump administration continues to take apart the tentacles of Lawfare and Intelligence operatives in Main Justice, various U.S. Attorney offices, FBI Headquarters, FBI field offices and various Intelligence Community silos.
WASHINGTON — Former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas lamented the delay in immigration enforcement actions until the final year of President Biden’s term — despite having testified to Congress several times while in office that the US border was “secure.”
In an appearance Tuesday at Politico’s Security Summit, Mayorkas discussed aspects of the “broken” immigration system in America, acknowledging that a “low bar” for those expressing “credible fear of persecution” allowed too many migrants into the country during the Biden administration.
More than 8 million entered by the start of the 46th president’s final year in office — before Biden moved to shut down the border and crack down on illegal crossings
Despite being newly empowered by the Callais v. Louisiana Supreme Court ruling, South Carolina’s Republican-controlled Senate rejected moving ahead with a redistricting plan that would have likely unseated the state’s sole Democrat in Congress, Rep. Jim Clyburn.
On Tuesday, the state Senate voted by a 29-17 margin to allow for the General Assembly to work on redistricting ahead of the 2026 elections. This was short of the necessary two-thirds threshold, with five Republican senators defecting.

NEW YORK — President Donald Trump won’t have to pay an $83 million defamation award to a longtime advice columnist until the U.S. Supreme Court gets a chance to review the case or reject an appeal, according to a court entry Tuesday. (Snip) Smith said last week there was a “fair prospect” that the Supreme Court will find in favor of Trump, who has called Carroll’s claims first made publicly in 2019 that she was sexually attacked by Trump in a Manhattan luxury department store dressing room in spring 1996 a “made up scam.” The $83 million award to Carroll
AUSTIN — Former President Barack Obama met with U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico Tuesday in Texas, putting his support behind a campaign that Democrats see as a shot, if a long one, for the party to win statewide in the reliably conservative state.
Obama lunched with Talarico and Democratic state Rep. Gina Hinojosa, the nominee running to unseat Texas’ Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, at a taco shop in Austin. The visit was meant to give the candidates a boost from one of the more liked figures in the Democratic Party.
Obama has been highlighting younger leaders in the party, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani,
Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones (D) appears to have gotten his law license from Minnesota’s Quality Learing Center. After misspelling “Virginia” and “Senator” on a recent appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court, Jones’ office fired off an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States that’s addressed to — lol — the Supreme Court of Virginia.
In the first case… no spell check? The attorney general’s office doesn’t use spell check? In the second case of addressing the petition to the wrong court, I’m speechless at this level of incompetence, especially AFTER all those misspellings and when this case is 1) the most important thing on the planet to Democrats

As New York braces for another sweaty, subway-platform-melting summer, the state is once again handing out free air conditioners to eligible residents — because surviving July without one is basically an Olympic sport.
Applications for New York’s Cooling Assistance Benefit opened April 15, offering qualifying households a free air conditioner or fan, plus installation, just in time for the season when apartment living starts to feel like slow-roasting in a brick oven. [snip]
For window, portable A/C units or fans, the benefit covers up to $800, including installation.
Existing wall sleeve units can be covered up to $1,000.
Not long ago, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul told New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to handle his own mess. Now she's writing him a $4 billion check to bail him out.
Mamdani had barely settled into Gracie Mansion before he discovered what socialists always find out: Eventually, you run out of other people's money. His grand campaign promises — you know: free this, universal that — ran headlong into the reality that New York City couldn’t afford all the things Mamdani had campaigned on.
So, Mamdani went looking to Albany for a bailout.
And, originally, Hochul said no.
"The mayor and City Council need to work together, identify savings,
Student visas are designed to expand educational opportunities. What’s better than studying abroad or hosting international students in the U.S. to deepen cultural ties and expand our horizons? Turns out, however, that just like we’ve seen in the massive Minnesota and California social‑service program fraud epidemic, the rampant COVID relief scams, and so much more, bad actors love to take advantage of government programs, and according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), that’s exactly what went down with a visa program called Optional Practical Training. The idea is to give foreign students with F-1 visas

"There's absolutely every reason to believe that this came from rodents," Pavlin said. He said WHO has confirmed the first hantavirus cases on board the MV Hondius stemmed

A gun-wielding career criminal opened fire at random cars driving down a Massachusetts roadway on Monday, leaving two men with life-threatening injuries before the maniac was shot by responding officers.
Gunman Tyler Brown allegedly fired 50 to 60 rounds indiscriminately from an assault-style rifle as he erratically walked down Memorial Drive in Cambridge around 1:20 p.m., Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan said during a press conference.
At 1:06 p.m., Cambridge police received a 911 call from Boston police, who said an individual acting erratically and in possession of a rifle was in Cambridge, Ryan said.
