Remember, nobody loves political violence more than the right.
The man who targeted and killed Democratic state lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark in their home in Minnesota in June was a Trump supporter. The man charged with the attempted assassination of Pennsylvania’s Democratic governor Josh Shapiro in April was a Trump supporter. The man convicted of orchestrating a series of hootings at the homes of four Democratic elected officials in New Mexico in 2022 was a Trump supporter. The man who tried to kidnap then Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and assaulted her husband Paul in 2022 was a Trump supporter. The men who wanted to hang Mike Pence on Jan 6, 2021, were Trump supporters. The man who killed the son of Obama-appointed District Judge Esther Salas in 2020 was a Trump supporter. The men who were convicted of trying to kidnap Michigan’s Democratic governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020 were Trump supporters. The man who sent pipe bombs to the homes of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and other top Democrats in 2018 was a Trump supporter. The man who killed left-wing activist Heather Heyer after driving his car into a crowd of counter-protesters in Charlottesville in 2017 was a Trump supporter.

Spanberger & Kaine’s disingenuous, out of step, “bothsideist,” sanewashing of Zionism:
Former Virginia Rep. and current gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger said in a statement that the “horrors” of the war, on both sides, “rightly compel so many to advocate for the mass delivery of aid, the release of all Israeli hostages, and a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel,” but that “one can and must denounce these tragedies without using antisemitic language, whether intentional or not.” Tim Kaine, one of Virginia’s two Democratic senators, declared: “I forcefully reject any claim that Zionism — the desire of Jewish people to have a state of Israel — is inherently racist or evil.”

His words, which are entirely correct and not remotely antisemitic if you indeed are engaging in good faith with two operational hemispheres of a brain:
One day, everyone will have always been against this genocide. After 22 months of the most horrific crimes, there is no doubt that Israel is conducting the most evil cleansing in human history as we fund and watch it play out minute by minute. Much love to so many of my Jewish friends who have stood up from the first weeks of this horror to say this is not in our name. We know that this was never about religion, rather a supremacist ideology created to destroy and conquer everything and everyone in its way. This is Zionism. Zionists yearn to be the only victim and deflect from the evils perpetuated in its name. Instead of calling for an end to genocide, Zionists have bastardized antisemitism making the world less safe for my Jewish friends. There is no middle ground in this supremacist mess. The rights stripped from Palestinians for decades are being stripped here now. The concentration camps in Gaza are being built here. Zionism has proven how evil our society can be, and sadly we are beginning to experience it here in our great Republic. Now is our time to rise up and stand on the right side of history.

We can’t just go on about our lives like it isn’t happening. It’s not acceptable.

Richard has brain damage
Write in from a Virginian to the Virginian Pilot regarding Youngkin: Gov. Glenn Youngkin has proven himself to be his own man, not kowtowing to the federal government and not waiting for Republican leadership to help out. He has improved Virginia step-by-step, and has laid a path to better stewardship of this great state. Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears has earned the ability to continue this good work. As lieutenant governor, she has gained bipartisan respect and worked hard to advance conservative values. Abigail Spanberger is a left-wing elitist trying to distance herself from her radical liberal votes and build a war chest with out-of-state money. Spanberger will only do what the Democratic Party tells her to do. Earle-Sears will do what is right for Virginia. Vote Republican. Richard M. Timberlake, Williamsburg
