Remember that time when the CEO of ActBlue took the 5th amendment to every question posed to her on whether democrats used the fundraising platform to funnel foreign donations to political elections? Yeah… me too… because it was yesterday. Video: shorturl.at/gkSRC

When Democrats promised affordable housing, what they meant was forcing localities to accept more manufactured housing through state mandates. HB 655 limits the ability of local governments to treat manufactured homes differently from site-built homes in many zoning districts. If your community wants to decide for itself what housing belongs in its neighborhoods, Richmond increasingly thinks it knows better. When gun grabber Dan Helmer is proud of something - you should immediately expect to slightly vomit in your mouth by his “accomplishments.”

Thankful to the Virginian Pilot for reporting the result of the dismissal of all charges for Educator Sinclair. Sinclair does not blame the child for the report. He is a child. But what the school did , what CPS and law enforcement did in bring 5 criminal charges that could have resulted in 5 years in jail, making a finding of abuse and neglect - it’s just unconscionable. The entire event was 30 seconds - captured on video - and shows nothing more than children in a hall being restless and Sinclair walking by gently taping the children on their foot - one by one - to settle them down - after one farted and made everyone laugh. And yes her foot made contact with a butt of a child. But it was a light tap. (When you are in the fetal position - you’re face is down - your on your knees and your butt is on top of your feet - that’s how this accidental contact with the butt occurred). Isle of Wight Schools should be absolutely ashamed of themselves - especially the Superintendent. CPS should be ashamed of themselves for rubber stamping a false narrative. Law enforcement should be ashamed of themselves for being a part of this. She should be reinstated to her position - a position she loves and is a beloved community educator. You don’t throw away someone who has dedicated her life to education just because it’s politically convenient. Leaving the court yesterday - 3 of the 4 children that came to court to testify hugged her after the result. They love her. So did the parents of those children. Teachers need someone to stick up for them. Kids need someone to stick up for them. The public education system is a self-serving entity designed to do one thing only - protect itself and dispose of anyone that gets in their way. I will never stop fighting for educators and kids.

The FBI just fired multiple employees over the Richmond Catholic memo. Stanley Meador was the Special Agent in Charge of the Richmond FBI office when that memo was produced. Today, Meador serves as Virginia’s Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security. If the memo was serious enough to get analysts fired, it’s fair to ask why the people at the bottom lost their jobs while the person running the office now oversees Virginia’s entire public safety system. Out of the hundreds of qualified people that Abigail Spanberger could have picked, she picked this guy. Thats a story in and of itself.

The local media dogpiled Teacher Sinclair when she got arrested. I was honored to represent her and tried the case today. She was found not guilty on all counts. Teacher Sinclair is a beloved 30 year educator. She has lost her job and continues to fight to rebuild her reputation. I hope the local media spends some time this week reporting that her charges were dismissed. The allegations and the region wide broadcasting of the allegations has devastated her career and ruined her stellar reputation as a rockstar teacher.

For all the Democrats outraged that a judge upheld a previous injunction order - let me frame the issue clearly. An adult is at 18. Not 21. There is no such thing as a junior adult at 18 and a senior adult at 21. Prohibiting 18 year olds from buying handguns is unconstitutional. So let me do the math for you - because math is hard when you only think what CNN tells you to think. An 18 year old can chop his co@k off and become a woman - but according to Democrats the same 18 year old would be too young to buy a 9mm pistol. It’s that simple. This is why the injunction is in place.

The Virginia State Police openly violate an injunction order - a judge shuts them down a second time - and the contempt from the left is nauseating. Upholding the Constitution and protecting the Second Amendment = felons and wife beaters buying AR15s. The left hates you if you are a gun owner.

There is chatter that the Democrats could build a marijuana marketplace into the budget. My political opinion is that is highly unlikely. Any laws created through the budget would only be good for the two years which is the length of the budget. The regulatory framework for a marketplace would be susceptible to unpredictable risk - non certainty - and the big rub seems to be that the governor wants felony penalties for illegal distribution and transportation while the general assembly wants the crimes to be minor misdemeanors. I don’t see it happening. Both sides have rammed temporary laws into the budget in the past. I honestly don’t think it’s legal - and if the Democrats even try such a thing of this magnitude - I would expect court challenges to erupt.

A lot of feedback has been given to me since my post yesterday criticizing the State Central Committee of the Republican Party of Virginia. I’ve read it all, but my position has not changed. We are in an ideological war with the Left. Republicans and Democrats disagree on fundamental issues that affect our families, schools, economy, and constitutional rights. While Republicans are fighting those battles, too many people inside our own party structure seem more concerned with parliamentary procedure, committee referrals, and Robert’s Rules of Order than actually advancing conservative principles. I’ve sat through hundreds of Republican meetings over the years. There is a segment of the party that would rather win an argument about procedure than win an election. We often fight each other harder than we fight Democrats. Meanwhile, the Democrats continue advancing their agenda while we debate motions, amendments, and points of order. This year alone, there are three constitutional amendments on the ballot. Every Republican in the General Assembly voted against them. Yet instead of immediately taking a position and organizing opposition, some want more committees, more study groups, and more procedural delays. Early voting begins in three months. Time matters. At some point leadership requires action. The voters are not looking for a parliamentarian. They are looking for people willing to lead. The truth is that the real work of the Republican Party is done at the local level. It is done by volunteers knocking doors, making calls, attending school board meetings, supporting candidates, and engaging their communities. That is where victories are won. My advice to those who support me is simple: invest your time and energy in your local Republican committee. If you have a functioning local unit, support it. Strengthen it. Fight for your community one jurisdiction at a time. When I ran for office, the Republican Party of Virginia did little to help me. My local supporters, volunteers, and grassroots activists did. They are the reason campaigns succeed. They are the front lines. If some in Richmond want to spend their time debating procedure, let them. The future of the movement will be decided by the people doing the work in their own backyards.

The three constitutional amendments on the ballot this November have nasty stuff baked into them. Gay marriage amendment - adds gender as a protected class to the constitution. As applied in other states - this is when the state can take your child from you if you don’t affirm their transgender identity. Felon right to vote - adds a provision that allows someone who has been declared legally incompetent the right to still vote. Abortion amendment - restricts the state from imposing any meaningful laws on abortion authorizing abortion up to birth for mental health reasons. It is absolutely disgusting that the Virginia state central committee is taking a neutral position on these amendments. I often wonder where do I fit in with politics and at times like this it feels like I definitely do not have a political home. Taking a neutral position on these three positions and abstaining from engaging is not a party that I can be a part of. As such - until this is immediately reversed and the Republican Party of Virginia grows a spine - consider me a free agent. A constitutional conservative desperate for a party that gives a sh$t.

2 day criminal jury trial - all counts not guilty. Total acquittal. Thankful to the USCCA for funding 100% of the legal fight. More than $75000 to get to this point. My client walks away a free man. You should seriously think about signing up for the USCCA legal defense plan

Last month in Essex Circuit Court I was in a major FOIA fight with the Essex School Board. Now - the school board member at the center of that fight, the former superintendent and the former finance administrator have been indicted. The in depth story is here: shorturl.at/G1zlX The rest of the media has not talked about it at all….

DWR provided a feral hog warning. It sparked a good idea. So I created a liberal threat warning Be a good citizen and share both!

Every offended Democrat is welcome to come over for some hotdogs this weekend. I have plenty of buns. 😂

Delegate Helmer has publicly threatened Justice Kelsey because of the redistricting amendment. This is the most extreme example of judicial intimidation I have ever seen from a sitting Virginia legislator. The equation is simple / rule against us = lose your job. If they make an example of a Supreme Court justice - every lower judge is on notice that if you stop democrats - you will be fired. This is the beginning of the end. Courts will be ATMs for the politics of the party In power. This can’t stand. The party of “democracy” is literally destroying judicial autonomy. This violates the separation of powers principles more than anything we have ever seen. Dan and his thugs in the General Assembly need to be sued. Just so happens I have some free time.
