Desperate Dominion Energy Bankrolling NEW Attacks on Glenn Youngkin

Oct. 29, 2021

McAuliffe's Failure to Inspire is Generating More Voter Suppression Efforts

ROANOKE - Dominion Energy is officially remaining silent, but their giant contributions to a shadowy PAC are buying new voter suppression ads attacking Glenn Youngkin in the final hours of the campaign. 

The shadowy "Accountability Virginia PAC" run by Democratic operatives and financed by Dominion Energy PAC has recently initiated several new advertising campaign aimed at suppressing conservative voters - again claiming Glenn Youngkin is insufficiently supportive of the Second Amendment while Terry McAuliffe's campaign continues to try to scare liberal voters into believing that Youngkin is overzealously supportive of gun rights.

"Terry McAuliffe and his cronies at the electric monopoly are desperate to cling to power. They know McAuliffe's abysmal record isn't inspiring support outside of those who love his coin-operated government ways so they are aggressively trying to suppress the vote," said Senator David Suetterlein (R-Roanoke County).

As the voter suppression attacks on Glenn Youngkin continue so has Dominion Energy's refusal to talk about their huge contributions or their collaborators in the effort.

Dominion Energy contributed $250,000 to "Accountability Virginia" between July 28 and September 30 including $75,000 afterAxios initially reportedon the shadowy PAC's use of suppression advertising aimed at Second Amendment supporters. Dominion refuses to disclose how much they contributed to "Accountability Virginia" since October 1 meaning that information will not be public until after the next Governor is inaugurated in January 2022.

"Anyone that doesn't think their vote is valuable needs to recognize that the electric monopoly is willing to spend more than $250,000 to keep them from electing a reformer like Glenn Youngkin," said Suetterlein.

Virginia Senator David Suetterlein was elected to a second term in November 2019 representing Salem and Bedford, Carroll, Floyd, Franklin, Montgomery, Roanoke and Wythe counties in the Virginia Senate. He lives in Roanoke County with his wife where their children attend public schools. He is a Realtor with the Roanoke Valley owned and operated MKB, REALTORS.

COVID-19 Expulsions to Continue?

October 29, 2021

IRLI shows why activist court should be reversed

 

WASHINGTON—Yesterday, the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the DC Circuit Court of Appeals supporting the government's appeal of a lower-court injunction against the Trump-initiated policy of expelling illegal aliens who cross the border under a public health statute. The appellate court had previously suspended the injunction, allowing the expulsions, meant to protect the nation against COVID-19, to continue pending appeal.

In its brief, IRLI tears into the flawed reasoning of the lower court, which argued that the power Congress gave the executive in the health statute to "prohibit the introduction" of aliens at a land border did not include the power to expel aliens who had already been "introduced" by crossing the border. Even if the court's flawed definition of "introduced" were correct, IRLI points out, the power Congress gave the executive to "prohibit" the introduction of aliens is illusory and cannot be executed if it does not include a power to expel aliens who violate its prohibitions. It is obvious that Congress did not grant an illusory power in such an important area as the public health.

"The lower court's ruling in this case was both absurd and dangerous," said Dale L. Wilcox, executive director and general counsel of IRLI. "To say that federal officers can prohibit people from crossing the border, but then have to stand there and do nothing if they do cross the border, is ridiculous. We hope the DC Circuit sees the glaring error of that ruling, and allows this vital national program to go on."

The case is Huisha-Huisha v. Mayorkas, No. 21-5200 (DC Circuit). 

Biden to End Wait in Mexico on Appeal?

October 26, 2021

IRLI opposes effort to ditch program Supreme Court left in place

WASHINGTON—The Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) has filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in opposition to the Biden administration's appeal of a district court order restoring the Wait in Mexico asylum policy. The district court had ordered this Trump administration policy of returning asylum seekers to Mexico to wait for their asylum hearings in that country, rather than in the United States, resumed until such time as the border is under control.

 

Faced with this court order, the administration filed emergency applications in the Fifth Circuit and the Supreme Court to have the district court's order stayed, or suspended, pending appeal. The Fifth Circuit declined to do so and, following a friend-of-the-court brief by IRLI opposing the administration's application in the Supreme Court, that Court also denied a stay, leaving the district court's order in place during the appeal process.

 

In its brief, IRLI shows that Wait in Mexico is vital in reducing the incentive for aliens to cross our border to make meritless asylum claims. And IRLI defends the district court's order that the administration keep Wait in Mexico in place until the border is under control: IRLI points out that the law gives the administration the choice of either detaining arriving asylum-seekers or returning them to Mexico to wait for their hearings, and the administration lacks the capacity to do the former during the current crisis. Thus, what the district court ordered—the resumption of Wait in Mexico until detention becomes an option—is the only lawful course for the administration to take.

 

"Wait in Mexico is a key component of Trump policies that, working together, had brought control to our border," said Dale L. Wilcox, executive director and general counsel of IRLI. "By going back on these policies, Biden has created the current influx. We hope the Fifth Circuit upholds the district court here, as we press forward to reverse the administration's other unlawful and disastrous border policies."

 

The case is State of Texas, State of Missouri v. Biden, 21-10806 (Fifth Circuit).

McAuliffe Accuses 18 Democrats – Including Jennifer McClellan and 13 Other Black Caucus Members – Of ‘Racist Dog Whistle’

October 25, 2021

McAuliffe is making up lies about "banning books" because he's losing.

Terry McAuliffe is ratcheting up his attacks on parents – specifically, Fairfax mom Laura Murphy. McAuliffe is scared to death of her story. He's even calling it a "racist dog whistle."

 

According to the Washington Post Fact Checker, McAuliffe is lying about the legislation he vetoed. It would not have banned books. These were two parental notification bills that McAuliffe vetoed, and they were both bipartisan.

 

Between the two bills, 18 Democrats voted for them. Are these 18 Democrats – including 14 members of the Black Caucus – racists? Does their vote equate to "silencing esteemed Black authors," as McAuliffe so ridiculously charged?

 

HB 516 (2016) was supported by 14 House Democrats, including 11 members of the Black Caucus. It was also supported by 1 Senate Democrat, Lynwood Lewis.

 

1. Lashrecse Aird

2. Lamont Bagby

3. David Bulova

4. Betsy Carr

5. Daun Hester

6. Joe Lindsey

7. Jennifer McClellan

8. Delores McQuinn

9. Cia Price

10. Sam Rasoul

11. Lionell Spruill

12. Luke Torian

13. David Toscano

14. Roslyn Tyler

15. Lynwood Lewis

 

HB 2191 (2017) was supported by 8 House Democrats, including 6 members of the Black Caucus:

 

1. Lashrecse Aird

2. Lamont Bagby

3. Jeff Bourne

4. David Bulova

5. Cliff Hayes

6. Mike Mullin

The bipartisan bills McAuliffe vetoed would simply have notified parents of sexually explicit reading assignments and given them the choice of having their own child receive an alternative. McAuliffe continues to confirm every day that he wants to silence parents because he doesn't believe they should have a say in their child's education.

 

As The Washington Post Fact Checker wrote on September 30, 2021 following the second Youngkin-McAuliffe debate:

 

While the former governor [McAuliffe] knocked Youngkin for not understanding the basics of the law that was debated, he mischaracterized the bills he vetoed. Neither bill would have allowed parents to "veto books" or "take them off the shelves," according to the bills and the veto statements issued by McAuliffe at the time. In fact, neither had to do with books, but concerned instructional material.

 

Meanwhile, Youngkin asserted that the bills vetoed would have informed parents that sexually explicit books were in the school library. But since the bills referenced instructional materials used by teachers in class, that would not have been the case unless a teacher assigned one of the books for a reading assignment.

 

In 2016, McAuliffe vetoed H.B. 516, which would notify parents if a teacher planned to provide "instructional material that includes sexually explicit content." Parents would be given an opportunity to review the materials upon request. If a parent objected, a student would be given "nonexplicit instructional material and related academic activities." The effort to override his veto fell short by one vote.

 

McAuliffe's veto message made no mention that parents could remove books. "The legislation would also require teachers to provide alternative instructional materials if requested by a parent," he wrote. "Open communication between parents and teachers is important, and school systems have an obligation to provide age-appropriate material for students. However, this legislation lacks flexibility and would require the label of 'sexually explicit' to apply to an artistic work based on a single scene, without further context."

 

...

 

In 2017, McAuliffe vetoed H.B. 2191, which had similar provisions. Lawmakers also failed to override his veto. "The legislation would also require teachers to provide alternative instructional materials if requested by a parent," McAuliffe acknowledged in his veto message. But he said the Virginia Board of Education had "determined that existing state policy regarding sensitive or controversial instructional material is sufficient and that additional action would be unnecessarily burdensome on the instructional process."

 

As Youngkin said last week in his major education speech, "I will sign the bipartisan bill that Terry McAuliffe vetoed that would have alerted parents to what their children are reading in school."

 

In vetoing the legislation, McAuliffe did the bidding of the special interest education unions. "Governor McAuliffe vetoed all of the bills we asked him to veto!" crowed the Virginia Education Association (VEA) at the time, referring to McAuliffe as "our goalie in the mansion."

Obama's Big Lie

Monday, October 25, 2021

By Gary Bauer

Former President Barack Obama was in Virginia Saturday. During a rally, Obama said, "We don't have time to waste on these phony trumped-up culture wars, this fake outrage, the right-wing media pedals to juice their ratings." 

I try not to get angry every time some left-wing socialist makes an absurd statement. But this one really burns me up!

During his presidency, Obama pushed racial divisions to the brink, and he pushed the culture war by redefining the meaning of marriage to a whole new level. Now he's telling us the culture war is "phony"? To say he is "gaslighting" people is seriously understating the situation. 

The culture wars are raging across Virginia right now, and it's all because of the left. It's the radical left that is pushing critical race theory in our schools. 

And in Loudoun County, Virginia, it isn't just critical race theory, which is teaching people to hate. The radical transgender agenda resulted in the rape of two girls by a boy who used his transgender rights to gain access to the girls' restrooms. 

When one father demanded justice for his abused daughter, Loudoun County school board officials denied the assault ever happened. They lied about it and covered it up. Then they smeared the father, who was dragged out of a school board meeting, saying he was violent, and possibly a "domestic terrorist."  

The local prosecutor tried to have him thrown in jail over misdemeanor charges of "disorderly conduct" and "resisting arrest" – you know, the kinds of charges that are routinely dismissed against Antifa thugs who riot and burn down businesses. Only later did we find out that his daughter was traumatized and scarred for life. 

And the former president of the United States has the gall to tell the people of Virginia that it was all just "a trumped up, phony issue." This is just another example of the left accusing their opponents of exactly what they are doing. 

It's the left that changes pronouns and then silences you if you refuse to lie and dare to speak the truth. 

It's the left that puts pornography into your public school library. 

It's the left that allows boys into girls' restrooms.  

On and on it goes. 

But if you dare object, they accuse you of stoking "fake controversies."

Assaulting Freedom

Friday, October 22, 2021

By Gary Bauer

As bad as Biden's comments on communist China were, he really outdid himself on the issue of vaccine mandates. The president openly mocked the idea of freedom.

When asked whether nurses, firefighters and police officers should be fired if they choose not to get vaccinated, Biden said, "Yes. . . Freedom. I have the freedom to kill you with my COVID. No. Come on, freedom?"

That sentence is unbelievably offensive. 

The death rate among vaccinated people is miniscule. But people should have a right to question an experimental vaccine. Yes, it is a matter of freedom. People should not have to fear Big Government taking away their jobs. That's tyranny.

But this is the left's attitude toward all our freedoms – free speech, religious freedom, Second Amendment freedoms. They mock them all. 

They want to shut down free speech, whether it's Antifa beating up people in the streets or Big Tech silencing debate online. 

They eagerly shut down our churches during the pandemic, while pot stores and liquor stores stayed open. You could easily get an extra bottle of wine, but don't even think about going to church. And the left isn't shy about taking away your firearms.

Leftists rail against freedom because they mean to rule over us. 

The only freedom they get emotional about is abortion. So, while Biden mocks your freedom to work and control your healthcare decisions, he'll fall on his sword over the "freedom" to kill an unborn baby. 

The fact is Biden's vaccine mandate is hurting the economy. Major business groups and the Federal Reserve are warning that the mandates are making labor shortages and the supply chain crisis worse.

And by the way, why should only working Americans be subject to vaccine mandates? Why isn't Biden imposing vaccine mandates on illegal aliens or welfare recipients? As one columnist put it:

"Biden is mandating that the Americans who supply most of the tax revenue to pay for America's welfare system be vaccinated or lose employment. But the beneficiaries of the welfare state are exempt."

I am pleased to report there is growing resistance to Biden's mandate madness. 

• Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is calling for a special legislative session to tackle the issue of mandates in the Sunshine State. 
• Delta and Southwest Airlines have both retreated from their vaccine mandates. 
• In-N-Out Burger is fighting draconian mandates in California that require restaurant employees to become vaccine passport police.

BREAKING FROM CNN: McAuliffe Downplayed Blackface

In the span of a few months, McAuliffe told two different stories about whether he knew Blackface was wrong

McAuliffe dismissed Northam yearbook photo as youthful mistake at 2019 event months after calling it racist 'at any age' Andrew Kaczynski and Em Steck, CNN October 22, 2021

After publicly condemning Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's decades-old racist yearbook photo in February 2019 as "racist, unacceptable and inexcusable at any age," Terry McAuliffe, who is now running to succeed Northam, struck a different tone just a few months later, dismissing the photo as a youthful mistake -- and even denying it was Northam in the photo at all.

 

"Listen, even if it had been him in the blackface. You know," shrugged the former Democratic Virginia governor. "It was a dumb mistake 40 years ago."

"I grew up in New York. And in all fairness folks, I didn't know what blackface was. You know, I had not experienced, we had no racism issues, honestly, growing up in Syracuse," he said at an event promoting his book in July 2019.

 

CNN's KFile reviewed McAuliffe's remarks, which were made in an interview with the Hudson Union Society, a members-only social group in New York City, which hosts celebrities and well-known figures. A clip of the interview was uploaded to YouTube last January.

 

The interview came just months after McAuliffe, along with other Democratic politicians, called on Northam to resign after it was revealed Northam appeared in a racist yearbook photo from his medical school, showing one person dressed in blackface and another in the KKK's signature white hood.

 

"It doesn't matter how Terry McAuliffe feels," he added. "That photo that was in that yearbook was so offensive to the African-American community, that I can't be in their shoes. And we have just got to get past this. I knew, at a young age, blackface, 1985, you just didn't do it."

 

In July 2019, McAuliffe would tell the audience there for his book appearance that it wasn't Northam in the photo of his yearbook.

 

"He didn't do Ku Klux Klan in fairness," McAuliffe said. "It's now out he wasn't either one of them." …
