Radical Democrat Virginia Governor Signs Away the Commonwealth’s Electoral Votes to the National Popular Vote Scam – Democrats One Step Closer to Rigging the Presidency Forever

The radical left’s war on the American Republic just took a terrifying leap forward in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

On Tuesday, far-left Governor Abigail Spanberger officially signed legislation that would enter Virginia into the controversial National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC). This dangerous move effectively strikes a match to the U.S. Constitution.

Virginia becomes the 19th jurisdiction to join the compact, bringing the total to 222 electoral votes, just 48 shy of the 270 needed to activate the plan.

According to the League of Women Voters, “Six additional states with 65 electoral votes (Arizona, Michigan, New Hampshire, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) are especially promising places for obtaining the 48 electoral votes needed before 2028.”

‘Moderate’ Democrat Abigail Spanberger Signs Bill Forcing Virginia Schools To Consider ‘Restorative Disciplinary Practices’ Before Suspending Students

“Moderate” Virginia governor Abigail Spanberger signed a bill on Monday requiring public schools to consider “restorative disciplinary practices” like “peer mediation” or a “restorative circle” before suspending or expelling students, the Free Beacon’s Peter Hasson reports. The move follows controversial attempts to swap “exclusionary discipline”—what normal people call “discipline”—with “restorative justice” in liberal strongholds like New York City and Portland. It’s a far cry from the affordability-focused agenda on which the “centrist” Spanberger campaigned.

The bill states that “no public elementary or secondary school student shall be suspended, expelled, or excluded from attendance at school unless the school first considers at least one evidence-based restorative disciplinary practice.” Examples include “mentoring,” “a peer jury,” “peer mediation,” “a restorative circle,” and “any other disciplinary practice” that “provides solutions tailored to students’ cultures” and “includes community members reflecting the cultural and demographic diversity of the school community.” Though the bill does not detail how to organize a “restorative circle,” a guide from the left-wing Center for Justice Innovation says such circles are “rooted in centuries-old indigenous practices” and include an “opening ceremony” like a “breathing exercise” before “passing around an object that serves as the talking piece” which “gives the speaker a chance to share openly and uninterrupted.”

You won’t believe this, but after New York City, under former mayor Bill de Blasio, allocated millions of dollars toward “restorative justice” initiatives in schools, chronic absenteeism among city students rose to 34.8 percent in 2022-23 from 26.5 percent in 2018-19, while the number of incidents that required a response from the New York Police Department’s school safety division rose to 4,120 in the first quarter of 2025 from 1,200 in the first quarter of 2016. High-profile incidents exposing the pitfalls of the policy also emerged: In one case, a Jewish high school teacher in Brooklyn sued her district after students who subjected her to Nazi salutes and threats were sent to a “meditation room” rather than suspended.

You’ll Roll Your Eyes When You Find Out What New York Democrats Want to Ban Next

Democratic lawmakers in New York are championing an innovative new piece of legislation that would protect residents by banning BB guns.

You read that right. Democrats think preventing people from using BB guns and other imitation firearms will somehow keep people safe.

New York Senate Bill S9212 was introduced in February, and it would amend the state’s General Business Law to expand regulations around airguns and other imitation weapons. It updates the legal definition of “imitation weapon” to include air rifles and pellet guns. Under the updated language, “Imitation weapon” refers to any device or object, “including an air rifle, pellet gun, or ‘B-B’ gun,” made of plastic, wood, metal or any other material which can be perceived as a firearm. 

The measure would also impose more severe restrictions on who can purchase certain types of air guns. It prohibits companies from selling these products to anyone under 18. Currently, one has to be at least 16 to purchase these products. 

The bill also toughens enforcement by increasing the financial penalty for violators. Anyone who breaks this law “shall be subject to a civil penalty of not more than one thousand dollars for each violation,” an increase from the previous cap of $500.

Today Would Be a Great Day to Expel Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick

Happy Tuesday. 

While the rest of the country is already well into the workweek, Congress is just getting started. Must be nice. 

But as they drag their feet on a growing list of priorities that Americans demand, from the SAVE America Act to funding the Department of Homeland Security, there’s at least one thing they could get done quickly. Something simple that shouldn’t drag out any longer than it already has. 

Expelling Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick. 

It’s been nearly six months since the Florida Democrat was charged with stealing $5 million in FEMA disaster relief funds, money prosecutors say she used to bankroll the very campaign that got her into Congress. That primary campaign was won by five votes, and in a seat where that’s effectively the election, it meant the seat and everything that comes with it. The salary, the staff, the offices, the travel, and the power that she’s been enjoying ever since. 

Republicans didn’t wait around when it was one of their own. They expelled George Santos with a razor-thin majority and gave up the seat. 

Now months have passed, and she is still there. 

And during that time, she’s been trying to cover it all up. 

Her official congressional portrait already showed her sporting a roughly $100,000 yellow diamond ring—one prosecutors say she bought with the very FEMA funds at the center of the case. By Christmas, I caught her posting the same image with the ring inconspicuously photoshopped out. 

Not suspicious at all.

Democrats file impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, leveling serious criticisms of his handling of the Pentagon and the U.S. attacks on Iran.

As Republicans control the House, this move is unlikely to have an effect in 2026. Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., introduced the resolution, which says Hegseth has “demonstrated a willful disregard for the Constitution, abused the powers of his office and acted in a manner grossly incompatible with the rule of law,” CBS News reported.

The six articles of impeachment cite offenses including waging unauthorized war in Iran and reckless endangerment of U.S. service members, as well as breaking the laws of armed conflict and targeting civilians. Civilian casualties in Iran have included more than 160 people killed in an attack on a girls school in February.

They further accuse Hegseth of mishandling sensitive military information, which refers to his use of a Signal group chat on his personal phone to share information on a military operation in Yemen last year.

The resolution also says Hegseth obstructed congressional oversight by withholding information on military operations and abused his power by using it for political retribution.

Florida Democrat Candidate Arrested After Alleged Attack on Elderly Victims 

A Democratic candidate in Florida is facing multiple felony charges after authorities say he allegedly attacked two elderly individuals inside a Palm Coast residence, with investigators also reviewing threats made during the incident, as reported by The Blaze.

According to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded Friday morning to a 911 call reporting what officials described as “a domestic disturbance with a weapon.”

The call originated from a home in Palm Coast, where the caller alleged that an armed suspect had assaulted two elderly victims inside the residence.

The caller, who was identified as one of the victims, told authorities the suspect “had battered two elderly victims in the home — hitting one with a cane and throwing a cellphone at the other.”

The sheriff’s office also said the suspect “had threatened to kill them multiple times and stated he would kill law enforcement if they were called.”

Officials said the victims were unable to leave the residence because one of them was “bedridden,” forcing both individuals to remain inside a bedroom until deputies arrived.

Law enforcement was able to safely evacuate the victims from the home without further incident.

Eric Swalwell’s Own ‘It’ll All Come Out’ Slogan Comes Back to Bite Him in the Worst Way

Rep. Eric Swalwell outlined a proposed campaign message for Democrats in 2025 that he said would focus on accountability for companies and individuals who have engaged in business dealings with President Donald Trump.

Swalwell described the idea as part of a broader strategy aimed at signaling how Democrats would approach oversight if they regain congressional authority, particularly the ability to issue subpoenas.

“I suggested to our leadership, and it’s been well received that we need to have a campaign called We won’t forget it, or it will all come out,” Swalwell said.

He said the messaging would be directed toward a wide range of entities, including corporations and institutions that have entered into agreements involving Trump.

“That’s the message that we send to the colleges, to the law firms, to the entertainment giants, all these companies and individuals who have done these drug deals with Donald Trump,” Swalwell said.

Swalwell indicated that the proposed campaign would emphasize the use of investigative tools available to Congress.

“We need to make it clear as a Democratic caucus that when we have the subpoena power, it’ll all come out,” he said.

He also addressed what he described as the expectations of those engaging in such deals, arguing that some may believe they will not face consequences.

New Documents Reveal Democrats’ Plot To Frame Trump With Ukraine Call

After seven long years, key documents surrounding the Ukraine impeachment saga have finally been released by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, following Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s declassification. They include previously unreleased interview transcripts with the Inspector General as well as related materials. They tell a story many of us suspected at the time, but which now appears even more disturbing and more elaborate than originally understood.

The newly released documents show a coordinated effort to frame President Trump over a phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky. A manufactured narrative was elevated and then used by Congress in an attempt to overturn the outcome of an election and, effectively, shape the next one by pursuing impeachment over a routine diplomatic exchange.

Inspector General Michael Atkinson, who should have acted as a neutral gatekeeper, instead enabled the process by allowing a completely unverified, third-hand, and politically motivated complaint to move forward.

Of particular note is the timing. The call took place on July 25, 2019, the morning after the disastrous congressional testimony of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, which effectively collapsed the Russia collusion narrative. Many suspected at the time that this timing was not coincidental. It was as if one hoax had collapsed and another was needed to take its place. The new material strengthens that view.

What we previously knew was that a so-called whistleblower, Eric Ciaramella, an Obama-era National Security Council staffer, filed a complaint with the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, Michael Atkinson, alleging that President Trump had attempted to interfere in the upcoming 2020 election during the call with Zelensky.

The newly released documents, specifically the interview notes from Congress’s classified interview with Atkinson, together with the so-called whistleblower complaint and its supporting materials, bear little resemblance to what actually happened when set against the official transcript of the call released publicly by Trump in 2019.

Ciaramella alleged that Trump was using the power of his office to “solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. elections” and was pushing Ukraine to investigate his “main political rival,” Joe Biden, who at the time was polling at around 26 percent in the Democratic primary. He further suggested that Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General Bill Barr were involved in the alleged scheme to interfere in the 2020 election.

In fact, the official call transcript contains no evidence of election interference. It shows, at most, that Trump referenced widely reported public information, specifically Joe Biden’s own 2018 Council on Foreign Relations admission in which he described leveraging U.S. taxpayer loan guarantees to secure the firing of the Ukrainian prosecutor who was at that time investigating Hunter Biden’s firm, Burisma, and had already moved to seize assets connected to it.

As later emerged from material found on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, there were emails from the chairman of Burisma’s board of directors explicitly describing the shutting down of the investigation as a required “deliverable” and demanding that Hunter Biden intervene to bring it to an end, shortly before Joe Biden took steps that did exactly that.

In other words, far from constituting election interference, Trump was raising matters that were already in the public domain and, on any reasonable view, within the scope of legitimate diplomatic discussion, given U.S. financial exposure and foreign policy interests. At minimum, it is entirely plausible that he was also probing the disposition of the newly elected Ukrainian president by testing his response to issues involving his predecessor.

Everyone Knew Eric Swalwell Had a ‘Women and Whiskey’ Problem: The View’s Alyssa Farah Griffin


“The View” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said Monday that Rep. Eric Swalwell’s past conduct with women was widely known and created potential national security concerns, as the California Democrat suspended his campaign for governor following allegations of sexual assault and other reported misconduct.

Swalwell, who represents California in Congress, announced he was stepping back from his gubernatorial bid after facing accusations that include sexual assault, as well as multiple reports alleging inappropriate behavior involving women.

He has acknowledged what he described as “mistakes in judgment” but has denied the sexual assault allegations.

Griffin, who recently returned to “The View” following maternity leave, addressed the situation during the program, pointing to reports that the allegations did not come as a surprise to some observers.

“Swalwell sat on the intel committee, and there were allegations he had a suspected Chinese spy, Fang Fang, who was associated with him in his office,” Griffin said.

“Now, he was not found to have engaged in wrongdoing, but to me, my spidey senses from having worked at the Pentagon go off, which is it was an open secret that he had issues with women, that he was somebody who was susceptible, potentially to heavy drinking, to impropriety with women.”

Griffin said that such allegations should be considered disqualifying for public office and argued that political considerations should not outweigh concerns about conduct.

“I think we need to remember that winning isn’t everything, and you lose the plot when you think that,” Griffin said.

“When somebody does something that’s beyond the pale, that should be it, and we should move on and get back to that kind of society.”

She also referenced the seriousness of the claims made against Swalwell, noting their public visibility.

“I think of the victims. These allegations are horrible. They’re well-documented. This is, I mean, deeply reported,” she added.

Griffin further argued that the implications extend beyond the individuals involved, stating that reputational concerns tied to repeated allegations could pose broader risks.

Democrat Senator Ruben Gallego Throws “Best Friend” Swalwell Under the Bus, Denies He Is in Viral Video of Swalwell and Sex Worker

Senator Ruben Gallego turned on his good friend Eric Swalwell after initially defending him on social media.

On Monday, Gallego began to distance himself from Swalwell shortly before the California Democrat announced his resignation from Congress amid allegations of sexual assault.

“I want to be clear: I had no knowledge of the allegations of assault, harassment, and predatory behavior against Eric Swalwell,” Gallego said ahead of Swalwell’s resignation.

“I trusted someone who I believed was a friend, but it is now clear that he is not the person I thought I knew,” he added.

On Tuesday, after a fifth Swalwell accuser came forward at a press conference in Beverly Hills and accused the California Democrat of violently raping her at a West Hollywood hotel in 2018, Gallego threw Swalwell under the buss

“Eric Swalwell lied to all of us. He lies to the most powerful people in this country. And they trusted him,” Gallego told reporters.

“They trusted him with the most sensitive spots in our government. Whether it was a Judiciary Committee, Intel Committee, or impeaching Donald Trump,” he said.
