Focus on VA today, but PA has municipal elections today… Nothing exciting, school boards, judges. Etc… highway/biggest race is a Supreme Court Justice. Personally working my district as always, expect low turnout. Mail in ballots, way down in my district, and turnout light as expected so far.

On October 27, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra announced a sweeping federal plan to address and reduce the devastating toll of overdoses in America with the release of the HHS Overdose Prevention Strategy. In the agency’s press release, Secretary Becerra noted that with the new strategy, HHS will be “breaking new ground to address the full range of drug use and addiction.” Specifically, Becerra commented that the “new strategy focuses on people – putting the very individuals who have struggled with addiction in positions of power.” The HHS strategy will focus on four areas including “primary prevention,...

The Rev. Jesse Jackson was hospitalized on Monday after he fell during a visit to Howard University to advocate on behalf of students protesting campus living conditions. The 80-year-old civil rights leader took a spill and hit his head while entering a building on the Washington, DC, campus, according to his spokesman Frank Watkins. Jackson was taken to Howard University Hospital where he will be kept overnight for observation. He underwent a CT scan that came back normal, Watkins said.

Last April, when Major League Baseball pulled the All-Star Game out of suburban Atlanta in what it thought was a strident example of the powerful corporate punishment states would face if Republican lawmakers passed laws MLB did not like, its corporate, academic and cultural peers applauded the move. Commissioner Rob Manfred's decision was seen by those who agreed with him as a heroic one that leading American institutions should make when they want to counter what they consider a societal wrong. In fact, Manfred was just trying to avoid being canceled by the mob. If he had really believed in...

There can be no illusion that illegal immigration is anything other than a form of military invasion. When speaking of the military, one naturally thinks in terms of arms, planes and ships, but the biggest, most important aspect of the military is its troops. Troops are capable of invading, taking and holding territory. Overcoming resistance to that invasion usually requires arms, planes and ships. But what if there is no resistance? Then, troops are the only required element of the military. The destruction of a nation need not be physical, it can be internal destruction; demoralization and devastating poverty, overwhelmed...

Lots of elections are annual!

In a global battle on the scale of World War II, there are a lot of issues that slip through the cracks. Whether it’s something we refuse to admit or simply something so foreign and bizarre that we just don’t know what to make of it, there remain several unsolved mysteries from World War II. *TOPICS The Blutfahne (NAZI Blood Flag) Subhas Chandra Bose British Soldiers Of Auschwitz Ness Gun Battery’s Mystery Artist Raoul Wallenberg Heinrich Mueller Jean Moulin Hermann Goring

Didn’t see a turnout tread… what’s happening where you are

With the 2021 election in the home stretch, tens of millions of Americans will soon head to the ballot box or vote by mail for candidates on their November 2nd ballot. Depending on the state, voters can expect to elect a governor, state legislators, school board members, and other municipal officials, but there may be other items on the ballot they weren’t expecting: tax increases, and a lot of them. That’s right, voters across the country can expect to see many ballot measures that would impact their wallets. While these measures often get overshadowed, it would be a mistake to...

Fox News contributor and former Speaker Newt Gingrich raised the prospect of election fraud on the eve of the Virginia gubernatorial election. Right now the race between Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin and Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe is very close, and Youngkin’s chances of winning have increased. Sean Hannity asked Gingrich Monday night, “Does Youngkin need to win for this to have the maximum impact? What if it’s really tight?” “If it’s really tight, they’ll steal it,” Gingrich responded. “So you can’t afford to have a really tight election. You have to win by a big enough margin they can’t steal...

Joe Biden and other world leaders gathered in Scotland this week to lecture us peasants that something must be done NOW or climate change will be irreversible. Joe Biden can barely put words together to form a sentence, but he read a cue card prepared by his handlers that said, "we don't have any more time." At the COP26 summit, Biden said, "None of us can escape the worst that’s yet to come if we fail to seize this moment.” UK PM Boris Johnson spouted an even more apocalyptic-sounding message, "It's one minute to midnight on that doomsday clock, and...

WASHINGTON, Friday, Nov. 1. The country will not be surprised to learn that Gen. SCOTT has resigned, and that Gen. MCCLELLAN is now in absolute command of the army. Gen. SCOTT leaves Washington for New-York to-morrow morning, on a special train, via Harrisburgh. He will be accompanied by Gen. CAMERON. Public opinion here is about equally divided as to the probability of an advance of the grand army. On the one side it is alleged that the troops are being prepared for Winter quarters, and that the military leaders are not prepared for battle. Others allege that there is a...

Pharisees Question Jesus, by J. Tissot (1886-94) Hillel the Elder, sometimes referred to as Rabbi Hillel, was a Jewish religious leader who lived shortly before Jesus’ time. There is a famous story told of him in which he was challenged by a potential convert to teach him the entire Torah while “standing on one foot.” In other words, can you distill the essence and present it succinctly?That same theme may be behind the question that is raised today by the scholar of law, who asks, “Which is the first of all the commandments?”In answering while “standing on foot,” Jesus recites...

"Colossal Stakes as Leaders Meet to Talk Climate," ran the headline. "The Last Best Hope," ran the subhead, which turned out to be a quote from resident Joe Biden's climate czar John Kerry. But these alarmist headings were not atop an editorial. They topped the lead news story in Sunday's New York Times, the opening line of which set the tone for Glasgow: "The future is on the line." Somini Sengupta, climate reporter, then laid out the "colossal stakes" of the summit. "As presidents and prime ministers arrive in Glasgow this week for a pivotal climate summit, the outcome will...

Communist leader Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, aka Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, is reputed to have said, "The capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them." Whether Lenin said this or not, the message is prophetic. For the sake of cheap labor, some large corporations in America are selling the United States down the river, and they have the cooperation of President Joe Biden's administration in doing so. This is the 2021 version of "The Devil and Daniel Webster," except, this time, "Old Scratch" is not Satan; it's the People's Republic of China. For years, the PRC has been...

The Bible says, “Thou shall not steal.” Yet stealing – in the sense of robbing Peter to give to Paul – is what every government in the world does, on a daily basis. They have been doing it for a very long time. H. L. Mencken once said that elections are an advance auction on the sale of stolen goods. Watching the tax-and-spend circus on Capitol Hill right now brings Mencken to mind. Have you ever seen a good argument for stealing? I don’t mean taking property that isn’t yours to save a life in an emergency. I’m talking about...
