  1. The events and politicization of January 6th.
  2. The catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal.
  3. The inescapable threat of Big Tech’s censorship and mechanisms of social control.
  4. The rise of Bidenflation.
  5. The introduction, roll out, mandates, and failures of vaccines.

In this installment of our weekly Sunday Six conversation, PF Whalen and Parker Beauregard of The Blue State Conservative loom back on six major news stories from 2021.

#6: The gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey.

PF: When it comes to news stories for this year, it seems to me there was a lot more bad than good; and I’m generally an optimistic person. It also marks the second year in a row that I’m making such an assessment. We’re in a rut. Yet while there wasn’t much to smile about this year, what happened in Virginia and New Jersey in early-November certainly qualifies.

Every four years, in the year directly following the presidential election, Election Day tends to be uneventful. Barring a special election there are no Congressional seats at stake, and only Virginia and New Jersey cast their gubernatorial votes. As a result, these election cycles tend to be humdrum and un-noteworthy. But not 2021.

Virginia has been a solid blue state for several years now, and one in which Joe Biden beat Donald Trump last year by twelve points.

Youngkin is not a win of any sort.

Actually, it is worse in that the Deep State is somewhat hidden in Youngkin, as opposed to out in plain view for McAwful.

Hey, where’s “Grandfatherly moderate statesman Biden inaugurated to calm the chaotic Trump MAGA effect but then works daily to reduce America to being a small factor in the great Global Communist takeover?

HISTORY LESSON. Virginia has been a solid blue state for several years now, and one in which Joe Biden beat Donald Trump last year by twelve points. 2020 Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe was expected to cruise to an easy victory over Republican Glenn Youngkin, but he didn’t. Youngkin won comfortably and shocked the country as a result.

THIS JUST IN Forget all that 2020 campaign chatter about Biden being a “transitional
president.” He intends to run....... and (gag) win........ a second term.

Mmmmmmmm......should be a Fun Show.

The Stupid Twins.....Sure Thing McAuliffe and Bidung The Elder......collaborating with winners like Spacey Abrams and 5% Harris..... will entertain us like back in the good ole days in Virginny.

drJill will also entertain wearing her best “going to market” dress.
