They just can't be honest

Youngkin was a great Governor. Got rid of woke BS, gave parents their rights back in their children's education, balanced their budget and actually left a surplus. So what was the plan of the democrats? To lie to the voter, with the help from their friends in the msm, so that they could win, and the ignorant dem voters did exactly what their masters wanted them to do. I am more familiar with the Virginia story than the NJ one. What the voters have done in Virginia after 4 years of prosperity and financial health is a sin. It will all be erased within 2 years.

The msm declared both candidates for NJ and Virginia as "moderates". It was a lie. Those with half a brain saw through the bullshit but the democrats in those two states did what they were told and now both ladies are going so far left that those two states are looking more like the USSR.

Again, the democrats can't be honest. If they were honest they would lose elections.


With their new leaders in Virginia and New Jersey, Democrats this week showed the country an undeniable truth: There’s no such thing as a moderate in their party anymore.

Throughout the 2025 campaign cycle, national media presented a fundamentally false story about the Democratic candidates for governor in the Old Dominion and the Garden State.

“Ms. Spanberger and Ms. Sherrill are moderate women,” The New York Times reported as fact.

“The two congresswomen, both moderates, have shared a Capitol Hill apartment for the past four years,” wrote Washington Post columnist Karen Tumulty — and were so close, in fact, that “they sometimes finished each other’s sentences.”

Those sentiments were echoed endlessly: CNN, MSNBC, NPR and others all parroted the line that both women were moderates, pragmatists, centrists or even bipartisan.

What a difference a day makes.

Right after inauguration, both new governors announced their attacks on law and order.

As her first official act this week, Spanberger rolled back former Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s order instructing state and local officials to cooperate with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border patrol.

For her part, Spanberger announced a leftist agenda perfectly aligned with the majority-Democrat state legislature in Richmond, whose radical bills will sail through to her desk.

On crime, outgoing Attorney General Jason Miyares noted that the Democrats’ plan will erase mandatory minimum sentencing for “rape, manslaughter, assaulting a law enforcement officer, possession and distribution of child pornography, and other repeat violent felonies.”

“So much for restraint,” he sniped.

Despite inheriting a multibillion-dollar budget surplus, Spanberger’s plan for Virginia is to tax everything that moves, and some things that don’t.

Democrats introduced a new 4.3% tax on every retail delivery in Northern Virginia — hitting services from Amazon to UPS to Uber Eats.


And they want more localities to install money-grubbing speed cameras, just in case those drivers are in a rush.

The approach is modeled on taxes put in place by Minnesota’s Tim Walz, always a good sign of centrist intent.

Virginia Democrats plan to create new taxes or raise existing ones on income, services, hotels, personal property, investments, dry cleaners and gyms.

They even want to tax “property delivered electronically to an end user.”

Yes, that “tudum” is the sound of your Netflix subscription going up.
