02c U.S. Politics – Election

Last night was disappointing but blue states voting Democrat isn’t big news. Still, it is, well, unsettling that new Attorney General of Virginia declared he wants to kill Republicans and their children and still got elected – but that’s where the Democrats are at.

But at the end of the day, no matter what – a catastrophic Biden presidency, an invasion of migrants, or the miracle of Trump’s first 10 months in office – Democrats will be …… Democrats.

Virginia Elects Attorney General Candidate Who Called for Death of His Opponent: ‘Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, hitler, and pol pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head’

Those who have been tracking with the contest know those texts came from Jay Jones. It’s worth highlighting: The man who wrote that is now the incoming chief law enforcement officer for the Commonwealth of Virginia. National Review:  Embattled Democrat Jay Jones, who spent recent weeks embroiled in a scandal surrounding violent text messages he sent in 2022, won Virginia’s off-year attorney general contest on Tuesday evening against GOP incumbent Jason Miyares. Jones’s victory was a major defeat for Republicans, who spent millions in advertising in the final stretch of the campaign to boost Miyares. Jones was leading 53 percent to Miyares’s 47 percent with 90 percent of ballots cast when the Associated Press called the race (National Review).

On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough sought to present himself as the kindly, non-partisan political consultant, saying he had warned Republicans not to overreach after their 2024 victories, or imagine they’d occupy the White House forever.

How phony. That was just cover for his gloating proclamation that Republicans didn’t listen to him:

“And if you go too fast, voters will knock you on your ass immediately. And that’s what happened yesterday.” 

Democrat ex-senator Claire McCaskill didn’t even bother trying to disguise her glee, saying of President Trump: “Yeah, I’d say he’s on his ass.” 

Morning Joe proceeded to give the shortest, most misleading, of shrifts to the victory of Democrat Jay Jones in the Virginia attorney general race.

The show devoted all of seven seconds to it. Here’s the totality of what the show, via Mika Brzezinski, had to say:

“Democrat Jay Jones won the race for Virginia Attorney General, overcoming a text message scandal that threatened his chances.”

An unsuspecting viewer might have imagined that Jones had sent some racy texts. The reality, of course, is that he sent texts saying a Republican lawmaker deserved “two bullets to the head,” followed by a wish that the Republican lawmaker’s children “die in their mother’s arms.”

A multi-term House Democrat in a district carried by President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he will not be seeking re-election in 2026, setting up a contentious election in what is sure to be one of the most closely-watched House races in the country.

U.S. Rep. Jared Golden, who has represented Maine’s Second Congressional District since 2022, announced his decision in an article with the Bangor Daily News.

The congressman explained that while he has enjoyed his time in politics, he has become increasingly demoralized by “increasing incivility and plain nastiness that are now common from some elements of our American community — behavior that, too often, our political leaders exhibit themselves.”

He also pointed to recent high-profile instances of political violence and noted that he too has received threats on his family home.

“Beyond these family considerations, my decision is motivated by the clarity recent months have provided about the state of our politics. This week, we passed a grim milestone, having endured the longest government shutdown in our nation’s history. This unnecessary, harmful shutdown and the nonstop, hyperbolic accusations and recriminations by both sides reveal just how broken Congress has become,” the congressman went on to say.

In what should be an unsurprising development to every conservative in America, the “everyday normal Democrat voter” we are all told exists just came out in numbers to vote for assassination fetishist Jay Jones to be the next attorney general of Virginia.

We often hear some version of: I know their political leadership wants to groom and mutilate as many children as possible, kill as many unborn babies as possible, condone political violence against their opponents, and keep Americans addicted to drugs, homeless, destitute, and hopeless, but that doesn’t reflect every Democrat voter!

The fact that Jones beat incumbent Attorney General Jason Miyares, R-Va., by a relatively significant margin (52.73 percent to 46.87 percent) should be understood as the strongest rebuke of that “level-headed Democrat voter” notion.

The election of extremist abortion advocates Abigail Spanberger, Ghazala Hashmi and Jay Jones is a sad day for all Virginians. Their views are in line with some of the most radical abortion promoters in the country.

Unfortunately, the donations from those groups were used to fuel deceptive ads about the Republican Candidates positions on abortion. That helped them over the finish line.

Virginians have also been dealt a serious blow tonight in the statewide elections for the House of Delegates.

Sadly, the victories of pro-abortion candidates means that more extreme bills will be passed in the General Assembly that are designed to protect abortion businesses and not vulnerable women and their unborn babies. Most tragic of all is that with the newly elected pro-abortion majority in the House of Delegates intact, the dangerous unlimited abortion up to birth amendment will likely pass for the second time before going to a ballot measure.

Pennsylvania voters on Tuesday opted to retain three Democrat justices on the state Supreme Court, preserving a 5-2 liberal majority that pro-life advocates warn will expand abortion access to any reason throughout all nine months of pregnancy.

With more than 54% of the vote tallied, 62.3% voted yes to retain Justice Christine Donohue, 62.5% for Justice Kevin Dougherty and 62.4% for Justice David Wecht.

The outcome ensures Democrats maintain control of the court, which pro-life groups had urged voters to reject as a direct threat to unborn children.

A disturbing exit poll from Fox News found that less than half of Virginia voters found the murderous text messages sent by Attorney General-elect Jay Jones — in which he threatened to kill his political opponents and their children — were disqualifying.

With 96.4 percent of precincts reporting, Jones is currently garnering 52.7 percent of the vote to Republican incumbent Jason Miyares’ 46.9 percent, enough for a shocking upset that was called a little more than two hours after polls closed on Tuesday. The result constitutes a surprising upset, as Miyares had surged ahead in the polls following the emergence of Jones’ disturbing messages back in early October.

In a series of disturbing text messages sent to a former House of Delegates colleague back in 2022, Jones fantasized about killing the state’s then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert.

“If those guys die before me… I will go to their funerals to piss on their graves,” Jones, who served two terms in the Virginia House of Delegates, wrote in one of the 2022 messages to a former colleague.

How bold do you have to be to declare, openly, that you’re in the country illegally and then run for political office while not being a citizen? And the government is allowing this to happen right out in public, without much, if any, pushback.

Democratic State Rep. Kaohly Vang Her took home a big victory on Tuesday night, defeating incumbent Democratic Mayor Melvin Carter after a tabulation of second-choice votes. She, who was born in Laos and entered the country as a refugee, once stated during a public debate that both she and her family were illegal migrants. She later walked the comment back, but obviously, if she previously admitted this, it’s likely true.

Erica Deuso is a man. He is a man who likes to dress as a woman. He is a man who likes to fight for the rights of men who like to cosplay as women. He is also a man who condoned and arguably, encouraged, violence against federal officers for enforcing federal immigration laws.

And the worst part is that he just won the mayoral race in Downingtown, PA.

Downingtown is a small town of 9,000 people. While many people voted for this man, many also did not. So, at this point, all we can do is keep the sane residents in our prayers.

According to The Post Millennial:

Erica Deuso, who is openly transgender, had recently suggested armed violence against the federal government after footage came out of illegal immigrants being detained.

“Tonight, the numbers are clear,” Deuso stated early Wednesday morning, according to WHYY. “We won. Voters chose hope, decency, and a community where every neighbor matters. I am honored to be elected as Pennsylvania’s first openly transgender mayor. I carry that responsibility with care and with purpose.”

Republican Virginia state Del. Carrie Coyner, who was the recipient of the infamous violent text messages sent by Democratic Attorney General-elect Jay Jones, lost her bid for reelection to the House of Delegates on Tuesday.

Jones, who defeated incumbent Jason Miyares on Tuesday, drew backlash for lost by more than five percentage points by Democrat Lindsey Dougherty.

“Tonight’s results mark the end of my time serving our community in elected office, but not the end of my love for this community or my commitment to its people,” Coyner wrote in a statement. “For 14 years, it has been the greatest honor to serve you on the School Board and General Assembly— to listen, to work alongside you, and to build lasting friendships that I will always treasure.”
