NEW: Virginia Republicans Sound The Alarm Over ‘Flawed’ Ballots

Excerpt:

The Republican committee in Fairfax County, Virginia, a longtime blue stronghold in the state’s north, is accusing the county Office of Elections of distributing thousands of “flawed” ballots ahead of multiple closely watched elections.

Fairfax GOP Chair Katie Gorka sent election officials a formal letter alleging “a MASSIVE election security scandal” in the county.

“As of October 15, 2025, 84,062 voters had been sent absentee ballots, 77,583 in the U.S. Of these ballots which were sent, 29,106 ballots had been returned by mail and 3,366 by dropbox, with 495 absentee ballot recipients voting in-person instead. As a result, a large number of incidents may have occurred resulting in violations of the secrecy of ballots,” Gorka wrote.

She went on to state that the greatest risk comes from mail-in-voting. “The United States Postal Service’s performance is insecure for elections, as noted by Department of Elections Commissioner Susan Beals on September 4, 2024, in her testimony to the General Assembly Privileges and Elections Committee: ‘If I had to name what my biggest concern is for the 2024 general election, it would be the operational performance of the United States Postal Service,’” the letter continued.

In the letter, Gorka warned that the envelope could expose voters’ selections — specifically for Republican Attorney General candidate Jason Miyares — potentially violating ballot secrecy laws. The committee concluded by urging election officials to take immediate corrective action, including notifying voters, advising them to vote in person when possible, and ensuring all ballots remain secure and confidential.

KLAR: Food Supplies Threatened by Climate Change Policies

The climate change crowd may or may not intend to undermine farmers and food production, but it is an obvious result. Displacing farmland with solar panels and “rewilding” fertile pastures to grow trees for carbon sequestration reduces available agricultural acreage. This drives up land prices, making it harder for young farmers to take the reins from the aging generation of US farmers seeking retirement. An additional threat to food supplies has emerged as low-cost feed sources for livestock are diverted to renewable energy production.

Diverting Cow Feed to Biofuels
Whiskey maker Jack Daniel’s announced that it is terminating its decades-old Cow Feeder Program in 2026. Spent grains from its distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, will no longer be provided to local farmers; instead, they will be reallocated to Three Rivers Energy, a renewable energy firm that will process the material into fertilizer and biogas.

This shift supports Jack Daniel’s corporate goals of sustainability and reducing landfill waste. Still, it is a devastating economic blow to the area’s farmers, some of whom have relied on the bovine food source of castaway corn and grains for 45 years. This is a growing problem for farmers around the world – what makes environmental sense for large corporations senselessly destroys small family farm holdings, reducing overall human food supplies.

People can’t eat Chinese solar panels or EV car batteries. Cows have been routinely maligned by climate alarmists like Bill Gates and John Kerry, while more corporations proclaim they will replace cows with plant-based foods manufactured in yet more factories. The claims against cows are slanderous – rotationally grazed cows sequester massive amounts of carbon dioxide in the soil, feed vital microbiomes, and rebuild eroding farmlands, which helps retain precious groundwater. Well-managed pastures sequester more carbon dioxide than forests, and certainly far more than solar panel arrays misnomered perversely as “farms.”

.....EAT Commission Professor Walter Willett, M.D., Dr. P.H., from Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, declares in the Lancet report:

“Transformation to healthy diets by 2050 will require substantial dietary shifts. Global consumption of fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes will have to double, and consumption of foods such as red meat and sugar will have to be reduced by more than 50%. A diet rich in plant-based foods and with fewer animal source foods confers both improved health and environmental benefits.”

One need not be a farmer to realize what bogus bunk this is. Are these the same people who warned eggs and butter are bad to promote egg-free eggs and unhealthy margarine? How do GMO crops benefit the climate over grass-fed cows? Did Dr. Willett have a hand in the national food pyramid that prioritized cheap carbohydrates to bolster Kellogg’s profits and dangerously expand Americans’ waistlines?

Moore County, Tennessee, home of Jack Daniel’s distillery, is also home to hundreds of livestock farmers poised to lose generations of livelihoods because a Harvard professor with several letters after his name spews flatulent effluent about cows at a climate change conference. People need food to eat, not the Lancet to starve them.

..... Farmers and cows feed the world, not those who would starve humanity by controlling food supplies while fearmongering about “net-carbon.” America needs more farmers in government, and more bureaucrats shoveling slop to cows.
