Jay Jones’ ‘Community Service’ Scandal Is Worse Than You Think

Democrat Jay Jones has found himself in hot water during the final weeks of his campaign to become Virginia’s top law enforcement officer. The closer to Election Day it gets, the scandals seem to keep piling up.

At around the same time he was fantasizing about assassinating Virginia’s former Republican House speaker and wishing death upon his children in 2022, Jones had a truly remarkable run-in with the state’s criminal-justice system. According to recent reports, the Democrat AG candidate is now under investigation for a 2022 reckless driving incident.

By way of background, Jones was clocked going 116 mph in a 70 mph stretch of highway and charged with reckless driving. While other defendants facing the same charge as he faced — with the “same initial hearing date as Jones” — reportedly got jail sentences, Jones got away with a fine and 1,000 hours of community service. (These defendants were even caught driving more slowly than Jones was, according to Cardinal News.)

Supposedly, Jones did that community service in 2023 — 500 hours at “Meet Our Moment” and 500 hours at the Virginia chapter of the NAACP. The first tranche of hours has caused considerable controversy and may be at the heart of the aforementioned criminal investigation.

Meet Our Moment is Jones’ own political action committee, founded to train Democrats to run for office. His hours were certified by an adviser of his, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported. As noted by National Review, social media posts revealed Jones crisscrossed Virginia campaigning for Democrats in 2023, raising questions about whether such activities were counted as part of the 500 hours of “community service” he purportedly conducted with the group.

Perhaps equally interesting, however, is Jones’ “community service” time with the Virginia wing of the NAACP.

In 2023, Jones was a senior associate at the massive law firm known as Hogan Lovells. While there, he was involved in a high-profile lawsuit against the Youngkin administration regarding a dispute over public records pertaining to voting restoration practices for previously convicted felons.

The client Jones and Hogan represented in that case? None other than the Virginia NAACP. (Jones apparently ended work on the case when he started campaigning for state attorney general.)

Much like with Meet Our Moment, it’s unclear how Jones spent his 500 hours with the Virginia NAACP, once again raising questions about whether any of his legal services for the group in its lawsuit against Gov. Glenn Youngkin were counted as “community service.”

These services would seemingly have been provided by Hogan “pro bono,” or for free. But they’re provided for free by the firm’s partnership.

Anonymous donor gives President Donald Trump $130 million dollars to help pay the military affected by the government shutdown orchestrated by the Democrats

President Donald Trump announced that an anonymous billionaire, described by him as a «great friend» and a true patriot, has delivered a check for $130 million directly to the federal government.

This fund is intended to cover any deficit in the salaries of active military personnel, affected by the prolonged government shutdown orchestrated by Democrats in Congress. «He sent us a $130 million check today!» Trump exclaimed, emphasizing that the donor rejects any public recognition.

The announcement took place during an event at the White House, where Trump did not hold back his criticism of the «Democrat-led government shutdown,» which he blamed for jeopardizing U.S. armed forces.»

«He called us the other day and said: ‘I’d like to contribute to any shortfall you have due to the Democrat shutdown. I’d like to contribute personally to any shortfall the military might have, because I love the military and I love the country, and any shortfall, if there is one, I’ll contribute,’» Trump recounted.

This patriotic gesture arrives at a critical moment: the budget deadlock threatens to delay payments to hundreds of thousands of soldiers, reservists, and families, despite a prior executive order from Trump that redirected unused research funds to mitigate the damage.

This donation is not only a financial lifeline but also a reminder of how the private sector—driven by patriotic values—can correct the disasters caused by leftist obstruction.

Illegal Alien POLICE OFFICER Cost Illinois Taxpayers More Than $205,000

In Governor J.B. Pritzker’s Illinois, taxpayers are funding one of the most shocking sanctuary state scandals to date: an illegal alien working as a sworn police officer. 

His salary, benefits, and pension package together cost the public more than $205,000 this year alone.

Radule Bojovic, an illegal alien from Montenegro, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during Operation Midway Blitz on October 15. 

ICE officials confirmed Bojovic had been unlawfully living in the United States for over a decade after overstaying his B-2 visitor visa, which expired on March 31, 2015. 

Despite his unlawful presence and felony ineligibility to possess a firearm, Bojovic was sworn in as an officer with the Hanover Park Police Department, a suburb of Chicago.

According to police department and pension board records, Bojovic was granted a starting salary of $78,955.70 and was approved by the Hanover Park Pension Fund Board of Trustees in January 2025. 

But his overall taxpayer burden reached far higher.

In 2025 alone, Bojovic’s employment cost Illinois residents $205,707, including salary, benefits, and $9,276 in FICA and Medicare taxes.

The revelation that an illegal alien was given a badge, gun, and pension eligibility has sparked outrage across Illinois and beyond. 

Federal law is explicit: illegal aliens are prohibited from owning or possessing firearms under any circumstance. 

Yet under sanctuary policies supported by Pritzker, Bojovic not only carried a firearm but enforced laws while in violation of them.

Here’s An Inside Look At The Radical Dogma Being Taught At The No. 1 Elementary Teaching School

“Even my teacher at the first day of class, she said, ‘everything is political,’ and I didn’t understand what she meant until I started doing the content.”

Adrianna Mobley should have been excited to be accepted to Michigan State University’s elementary education program, ranked the top elementary program in the nation. Excited, that is, until she stepped into her “Social Foundations of Justice and Equity in Education” class this fall. Required for all elementary education majors, the class dives deep into the demonization of free market principles, meritocracy, and American values.

Higher education isn’t a vacuum. Colleges of education and far-left teachers unions are known to push curriculum saturated in Critical Race Theory, breeding K-12 educators ready to pass the narrative to the next generation. It should be no surprise that 58 percent of K-12 teachers in America lean towards or identify with the Democrat Party, disproportionate to the 47 percent of the general public, Pew Data shows. A study of 2022 campaign contributions from the Educational Freedom Institute revealed that 68 percent of K-12 teachers and 93 percent of college professors donated to Democrat candidates or committees.

But how bad is it in the classroom? Take the course mentioned above from Michigan State University’s supposedly top-ranked elementary education program. It’s described on MSU’s website as “understanding self, schools, and society; emphasizing racial justice, equity, and social identity markers.”

According to Mobley, the course materials and conversations have a constant focus on race and a consistent dismissal of capitalist principles unlike anything she had experienced. “As somebody who’s grown up in the school system … I don’t remember anything like this happening before,” Mobley told The Federalist. 

Course materials shared by Mobley show that one of the class units included an interview with activist and educator Angela Davis, formerly an official member of the Communist party and collaborator with the Black Panther Party.

“Racism is integrally linked to capitalism,” Davis said in the video, “and I think it’s a mistake to assume that we can combat racism by leaving capitalism in place.”

“This is a period during which we need to begin that process of popular education which will allow people to understand the interconnections of racism, heteropatriarchy, capitalism,” the video concludes. It would seem that MSU agrees.

In a class assignment, Mobley referenced an article from The Federalist arguing that a system has no moral agency, and thus “systemic racism” is a misnomer skirting the actual problem in legitimate instances of racism – people.

In response, Mobley’s professor (LinkedIn pronouns listed as “she/they”) argued that “Systems are in place and gain traction over time, momentum which builds into norms. Therefore there ARE operators constantly putting forth the systems which we see as normal – it’s us!” 

She went on to reply to Mobley that “if we’re teachers going about our business as usual in a school which perpetuates inequitable outcomes for students of color or low-income students, we are … perpetuating those inequalities,” according to assignment records Mobley shared with The Federalist.

Another required video claims that “America can never be a meritocracy” until it provides “an equal starting point and equal resources.”

After one class discussion, Mobley’s professor asked to speak with her. “She told me that it seems like I’m going to have a really hard time. It was kind of like pushing me, almost, to think that I wasn’t going to do well, or it was going to be too difficult for me because I had opposing views,” Mobley told The Federalist.

Mobley told The Federalist that her professor has not been hostile toward her. However, her professor did warn her that the tone taken in Social Foundations of Justice and Equity in Education was not unique to that class. 

“She said that this is a [recurring] theme throughout all of the teaching program. So Critical Race Theory and DEI are all concepts that elementary education is centered around,” Mobley told The Federalist. 

The Federalist asked MSU whether it supported the professor’s remarks advancing a narrative of systemic racism and asked whether the school supports using materials from a self-professed communist and former Black Panther Party collaborator to teach its students. The Federalist also asked whether the school agrees with the assessment that its education program is apparently so dependent on radical concepts like DEI and critical race theory that students with opposing viewpoints could have a hard time succeeding, but did not receive a response to the questions.

Other required classes in MSU’s elementary education sequence echo leftist ideology, including “Pedagogy and Politics of Justice and Equity in Education,” and three one-credit seminar classes titled “Justice and Equity.“ Mobley is enrolled in another required class, “Engaging Elementary Learners in Science: Culture and Equity. “

‘Something has to give’ watchdog warns as national debt climbs rapidly toward $39 trillion

Awatchdog group is warning that “something has to give” as the U.S. national debt climbs rapidly toward $39 trillion.

The national debt grew faster than at any time other than the COVID-19 pandemic to $38 trillion this week, in part, due to the lifting of the debt ceiling under the GOP’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Before the bill was signed in July 2025, the debt ceiling was $36.2 trillion.

In a detailed press release, The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFP) predicted that the U.S. would “likely hit the next milestone in just a matter of months.” The CRFB estimated that the deficit would likely reach $2 trillion for fiscal year 2026. 

The deficit was $1.8 trillion in fiscal year 2025, which just concluded on September 30.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the deficit was under $1 trillion.

In fiscal year 2019, the deficit was $984 billion and the national debt was $22.7 trillion, according to Treasury Department data. 

The road ahead: $1 trillion for interest payments will be needed

“We’re on course to spend $1 trillion just on interest payments on the national debt this year, exceeding our spending on our national defense,” Maya MacGuineas, president of the CRFB said in the statement. 

“Something has to give – and eventually it will, whether we are prepared for it or not,” she added.

According to the Joint Economic Committee, the total U.S. national debt has increased by $69,713.82 per second over the past year.

“The reality is that we’re becoming distressingly numb to our own dysfunction. We fail to pass budgets, we blow past deadlines, we ignore fiscal safeguards, and we haggle over fractions of a budget while leaving the largest drivers untouched,” MacGuiness said.

“Social Security and Medicare, for example, are just seven years from having their trust funds depleted – and you don’t hear anything from our political leaders on how to avoid such a disaster,” she added.

The CRFB said current law “calls for deep across-the-board cuts in benefits” when the trust funds are depleted.

ARREST HER: Illinois State Rep Margaret Croke Sent Out an Email Doxxing ICE Agents, Lists Their Cars and License Plate Numbers, Putting Agents at Extreme Risk

In a reckless and malicious move that’s drawing fire from conservatives, Illinois State Representative Margaret Croke sent out an email on Friday listing detailed descriptions of vehicles suspected to belong to ICE agents operating in Chicago neighborhoods.

The flyer, titled “Updated List of ICE Vehicles Seen Today,” includes make, model, color, and partial license plate info for cars believed to belong to agents working in the area.

Croke urged recipients to report suspicious activity to hotlines, claiming that ICE actions are “unlawful and undemocratic” and offering resources to connect illegal aliens with attorneys or social services.

Conservatives, including the popular X account Libs of TikTok, slammed it as outright doxxing, claiming it puts a “target on agents’ backs” and helps illegal immigrants evade arrest.

The email encourages community members to record and share info on potential ICE vehicles to “protect someone from either being picked up off the street or unnecessarily and forcibly handled.

Libs of TikTok called for charges against Croke, tagging the Department of Homeland Security and ICE, stating, “She’s putting a target on agents’ backs and helping illegals evade arrest. This is absolutely disgraceful. CHARGE HER.”

The post had gained nearly 9,000 likes in just a couple of hours.

This isn’t an isolated stunt.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is spearheading a similar effort to “unmask” federal immigration agents through her newly announced nonprofit, “The ICE Accountability Project.”

Lightfoot, a one-term mayor and former federal prosecutor, aims to expose agents’ identities and actions, claiming it’s about accountability amid what she calls overreach by the Trump administration.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has put Lightfoot on notice, announcing on Fox News, “She will be getting a letter from us tomorrow to preserve anything she has done as well, to make sure that she’s not violating the law. It appears she is. You cannot disclose the identity of a federal agent — where they live, anything that could harm them.”

The insane actions from Democrats, particularly in “Sanctuary Cities,” have led to a 1,000% increase in assaults on federal officers.

Bondi has not yet commented on Croke’s actions.

Former ATF agent: Most guns found at Mexico crime scenes are from legal US-Mexico government sales

he U.S.-Mexico border remains a flashpoint for debates over guns and crime. Mexico has long complained that guns from American firearms stores flow south to killer cartels responsible for tens of thousands of deaths each year.

In fact, in 2021, the Mexican government sued U.S. gun manufacturers blaming them for the bloodshed. It claimed that up to 90% of guns recovered at Mexican crime scenes trace back to the U.S. This figure, often echoed by U.S. policymakers, has fueled calls for tighter gun laws.

But a Full Measure investigation found the reality to be far different.

“Ever since I was first assigned to work on firearms trafficking on the Southwest border, it has widely been reported and utilized that the U.S. civilian firearms market is responsible for the majority of crime guns being recovered in Mexico,” former Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Special Agent John Dodson tells Full Measure. “[That] our right to bear arms is to blame for the violence in Mexico and along the southwest border. [But] the vast majority of crime guns recovered in Mexico are purchased directly by the Mexican government.” 

Dodson says it’s an important fact that is often kept hidden from the public. Most of those guns flowing to Mexico and recovered at crime scenes there were sold legally to the Mexican government – by the US government in a well-intentioned program that dates back to the early 2000s.

“Why is the US government selling so many guns to the Mexican government?” Full Measure asked Dodson in an interview.

“When we first started telling the Mexicans, ‘You have to do something to stop the drug trafficking coming north of the border,’ the Mexican authorities needed resources and funds to do that,” he replied. “They needed to get the equipment to combat the Mexican drug cartels. So we started funding these operations, providing them with military surplus equipment, helicopters, firearms, providing them with hundreds of millions of dollars to purchase equipment. Much of that firearms.”

The U.S. gave Mexico money and issued gun licenses for their government to buy weapons for counter-narcotics operations.

“What’s the importance of that?” Full Measure asked.

“The impression that people have and the impression that the Mexican government is trying to push forward, not only publicly, but in their lawsuit against the Arizona dealers is that the U.S. civilian firearms market is to blame for the violence and the firearms activity in Mexico. And that is simply not the case,” says Dodson.

The State Department audits only a tiny sample – less than 1 percent of sales – but the results are disturbing: In 2009, more than a quarter (26%) of the guns sold to the region that includes Mexico were “diverted” into the wrong hands, or had other “unfavorable” results.

“When Mexico traces these guns, the report shows they were purchased by their own government,” Dodson says. “They know this, but the narrative blames U.S. dealers.”

Full Measure then asked: “So you must have told everybody, including your supervisor, so they knew?”

“Yes,” Dodson says. “I’ve been pounding this drum for what, almost 16 years now. I’ve brought this up to every supervisor I’ve had with ATF since 2009. I’ve taken this as far through my chain of command as I can take it. Up until the day I retired, I even spoke to the highest ranking DOJ official in Mexico City and showed them this data and nothing has changed.”

“You’re sending people to fight cartels, and in another office, someone’s authorizing sales that arm those cartels,” Dodson said. He argues that halting these sales – by canceling Mexico’s FFLs and export licenses – could cut 70% of cartel-bound U.S. guns “in one phone call.”

ABC News Selectively Leaks Portions of Memo Authored by Fired Prosecutor to Help Discredit Indictment Against Letitia James

Deep State prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia are attacking US Attorney Lindsey Halligan with leaks after she successfully returned an indictment against Letitia James.

ABC News selectively leaked a memo authored by a fired prosecutor to try to discredit the indictment against Letitia James.

New York Attorney General Letitia James was indicted by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia earlier this month.

According to the DOJ, Letitia James was charged with two crimes: Bank Fraud under 18 U.S.C. Section 1344 and False Statements to a Financial Institution under 18 U.S.C. Section 1014.

“If convicted, Letitia James faces penalties including up to 30 years in prison per count, up to a $1 million fine on each count, and forfeiture,” the DOJ said.

The charges are related to a mortgage loan on a property James owns in Norfolk, Virginia, referred to as “the Perrone Property.”

According to the indictment reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, James was to use the property as her secondary residence and prohibited its use as a timesharing or other shared ownership arrangement or agreement that requires her either to rent the property or give any other person any control over the occupancy or use of the property.

Letitia James treated her Perrone property like an investment property on her Schedule E form and paid taxes on the rental income, further contradicting her claims of secondary residence.

ABC News obtained a memo authored by EDVA senior prosecutor Elizabeth Yusi. Interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan fired Yusi last week.

According to portions of the memo leaked to ABC News, the Deep State prosecutors who refused to indict Letitia James claim the evidence they found undercuts Lindsey Halligan’s case.

The prosecutors gave their findings to US Attorney Erik Siebert before he was fired by President Trump.

ABC News reported that the rental income on James’ tax return is not in the “thousands” like the indictment alleged.

The leaked memo alleges that Letitia James did not collect rent from her niece.

“James purchased the home in Norfolk, Virginia, for her great-niece in 2020 for $137,000 and immediately allowed her and her children to begin living in the house rent-free. Prosecutors met with James’ niece, who stated that she had never signed a lease, had never paid rent for the home, and that James had often sent her money to cover some of the expenses, the memo concluded, according to sources familiar with its contents,” ABC News reported.

“While the indictment alleges that James made “thousand(s)” from rental income, sources tell ABC News that prosecutors found no record of James collecting rent from her niece beyond $1,350 that James reported on her 2020 tax return, which was said to cover the cost of utilities, according to sources familiar with the investigation,” ABC News reported.

“As of last month, investigators had met with ten witnesses who offered conflicting accounts about whether James’ actions constituted fraud or the degree to which she profited from her actions, the sources said,” the outlet reported.

New York High Court Blocks Race-Grifters From Using Courts To Indoctrinate Children

our years ago, a group of race-grifter activists in New York City tried to sue their way into government-enforced racial quotas and race-centric curricula. But New York state’s highest court just decided they are not allowed to use the judicial system to mandate the indoctrination of children.

According to Defending Education (DE), which intervened in the case in 2021, far-left group IntegrateNYC’s attempt to abuse courts to create racial quotas for students and blame the racial make-up of school staff and a “white and Eurocentric curriculum” for poor education outcomes among the city’s black and Latino populations was put to an end Friday when the New York Court of Appeals dismissed the case.

The Education Article in the New York state constitution “does not permit judges to micromanage matters of educational policy, which are broadly entrusted to local control,” wrote Judge Michael J. Garcia, an appointee of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y.

As laid out by Garcia, IntegrateNYC alleged that the city’s public education system “discriminates against and disproportionately affects Black and Latino students, leading to unequal educational opportunities and negative outcomes for those students” because of its systems for admissions and screening, the content of curricula, and the purported lack of diversity among teachers.

They claimed further that the school system was segregated because black and Latino students underperform on admissions exams because of “discriminatory standardized testing policies,” shuttling them to “inferior schools that are deficient in terms of physical facilities and instrumentalities of learning, resulting in poor educational outcomes.”

As DE put it, activists “sought to use the courts to inject race into all aspects of the city’s education system. … Plaintiffs claimed that the city’s school system is discriminatory because, in their eyes, not enough students from their preferred races are admitted to the city’s selective academic programs.”

Sarah Parshall Perry, DE’s vice president and legal fellow, noted that “the challengers to New York’s gifted and talented program had demanded consideration of race in order to prevent race discrimination.”

However, suing into existence a wide variety of political and policy preferences is a tried and true left-wing political tactic used in places where their political movement is incapable of getting their candidates elected to bodies — like legislatures or city councils — that should actually be responsible for dealing with these issues.

The fact that New York City, and more broadly the state of New York, is run by people who largely agree with IntegrateNYC’s premise means that the high court’s ruling against them is at the very least a credit to the state’s ability to maintain separation of powers (in this instance) — but also a testament to how weak the group’s claims were.

IntegrateNYC could not prove any kind of systematic racism or injustice, and they could not point to an operational law or ordinance that blocked black or Latino students from attending the schools they wanted to “integrate.” Rather, they essentially tried to blame poor student outcomes on racism.

Those students are also apparently negatively affected because they are apparently subjected to a “white and Eurocentric curriculum.”

FBI announces massive indictment against 33 alleged members of drug trafficking organization

The FBI and Justice Department on Friday announced a massive indictment against over two dozen alleged members of the Weymouth Street Drug Trafficking Organization in Kensington, Pennsylvania.

The indictment accused 33 alleged gang members of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and dozens of related offenses. The organization was known for peddling and distributing fentanyl, heroin, and cocaine.

FBI Director Kash Patel said the operation should serve as an example of law enforcement reclaiming violent corridors from gangs, and touted the years of collaboration between the bureau, Philadelphia Police Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Fox News reported.

“This takedown is how you safeguard American cities from coast to coast,” Patel said. “We have permanently removed a drug trafficking organization off the streets of Philadelphia.” 

The crew allegedly used violence to enforce its territory with shootings, murder and assaults. Despite the alleged use of violence, no substantial murder or shooting charges have been filed so far.

Prosecutors said the organization was allegedly led by 45-year-old Jose Antonio Morales Nieves, of Luquillo, Puerto Rico, known as ‘Flaco,’ Ramon Roman-Montanez, 40, of Philadelphia, known as ‘Viejo,’ and 33-year-old Nancy Rios-Valentin of Philadelphia.
