Further Thoughts About the Virginia 2017 Debacle

Virginia has gone from the Old Dominion of Washington, Madison, and Monroe to the New Dominion of Pelosi, Schumer, and Crooked Hillary Clinton.

What a sad day. Virginia was the cradle of the Founder Fathers, the site of key battles in the American Civil War as well as the American Revolution. Now, it's turning into another version of California.

Overrun with illegal aliens, violent gangs, welfarism, immigrants who are not assimilating to the new wonders of this beautiful country. On top of that, Washington DC bureaucrats have moved in and turned the tidewater into a swamp of big money and government corruption at all levels. This development is beyond maddening.

Then again, I probably shouldn't be all that bent out of shape. Maryland has been a key state in our nation's Constitutional and colonial history, and that state has been staunchly Democratic for decades. It's time for us to take back our history at all levels, and not just worry about it when Democratic domination encroaches in certain places.



Also ...

While Democrats want to do a victory dance over New Jersey and Virginia, they should realize that on a Presidential as well as Congressional and US Senate level, they are losing numbers and influence in other states, which have more people and thus more electoral votes. Pennsylvania has quietly gone from Democratic stronghold to a new member of the Republican movement. The state is actually more conservative, too, not just Republican. Jobs are coming back, and the working man feels that the GOP has something better to offer him, especially with President Trump at the helm. New coal mines have opened up, for example, in the Keystone State. Those are factors which no one can sneeze at.

Education and public safety are also improving, and there is a growing fight to reduce the unjust and untenable tax burden on hard-working Pennsylvanians. Michican and Wisconsin, too, have finally finished their slow transformation from blue states to red. Right-to-work legislation, lower taxes, business and job creation, plus the necessary demise of progressive leftist hell-hole Detroit.

Three Rust Belt states which had resisted Republican advances finally came to. What will Democrats do when President Trump's jobs and economic agenda make these states great again? What will he do as more retirees fine Pennsylvania more to the taste for settling down, and with them they bring their Republican support?

I guess it should come as no surprise that Virginia would end up staying blue. It's terrible how fast this change took place, though, just terrible. It took about 20 years for California to turn into a blue bastion of socialist malaise. Virginia? 10 years. Such a sad fate.

Other musings on the Virginia race:

1. One district just elected a man with gender dysphoria to the state legislature. Someone please tell me why this is something worth celebrating. In Virginia, of all places, there is a men pretending to be a woman, and the rest of his colleagues will have to reference him as a "her". This is disgusting, beyond the pale, and just plain insane.

Danica Rhoem is the name that she has adopted for himself, and one had to wonder why down-home Virginia voters went along with this hapless folly. The reports from the liberal claim that this man promised to do something about the terrible traffic in key sections of the VA-DC-MD region. The traffic is truly terrible, no doubt about it.

But electing a man who thinks that he is a woman? Someone tell me how much longer we will have to tolerate this insanity?

2. There are some other silver linings to the Virginia debacle. The Governor-elect has announced his opposition to sanctuary cities, and he will protect the Confederate statues so that the radical left cannot destroy the rich history of the Commonwealth.

At his victory party, Northam had to be escorted off the stage because of his more conservative positions on key issues. That didn't look good before the cameras:


It's astonishing how weak Northam looked right then and there.

He was rushed after the stage, even though only a handful of hard-core leftists rushed into the background to demand "Sanctuary for all".

3. The Democrats are contesting key legislative seats, since the vote was really close. The state senate will remain in Republican hands, too. More divided government is coming Virginia's way.

4. This election was not about Trump, but about Gillespie, and how he wasn't a strong contender for the Governor's mansion. He dragged down the ticket, too, as had the do-nothing Republican Congress has done next to nothing for the American people in connection with Trump's agenda.

Republican candidates need to stand firm and demonstrate clear commitment to pocketbook and cultural issues. No swamp creatures, please.

This video on Laura Ingraham's program outlines how Gillespie refuse to entrench himself fully with Trump and his agenda:
