Ok folks this is the day that you speak up for your kids, for your country. Two years ago under Democrat leadership inflation was at 9% and you booted them out. This year inflation is at 3% and the Democrats are running on cutting your cost. Their solution, raise taxes. Doesn’t sound like much of a strategy to me yet too many uninformed voters will believe it. Don’t be that guy, let’s keep growing our economy, stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and the costs will naturally come back down. And in Virginia regarding the three constitutional amendments vote “No” on the one that takes parental rights out of their daughters abortion decision, vote “No” on the one that restores full political rights (voting, run for school board, serve on jury) to violent felons before they ever pay court order restitution, and although I don’t have a problem with people who want to marry who they want, they can do that already. What that one actually does is introduces the terms “regardless of sex or gender”, thereby forever codifying the idea that there are 63 genders or more each which deserves priority rights, Vote No on this one too. They can bring all three back to the floor with refined language next year. To hear the results tonight as they come in both locally and across the country tune in at 7 o’clock tonight to the @jfradioshow where my colleagues and I will be offering thoughts and results throughout the evening from Washington D.C. I look forward to seeing you there.

Yeah it’s normal for those who have normalized voter fraud.
If you go to bed on election night and don't know who won a midterm congressional race, that's normal. And if you wake up the next morning and find that a candidate who was behind hours earlier has since pulled ahead, that's normal, too. (via @PolitiFact) to.pbs.org/4zqnWBa

You’re concerned with the health and safety of people alright, just not the law abiding people.
As Governor, I am focused on doing all that we can to protect the health and safety of every person who calls Virginia home. I’m proud to join the Governors Public Health Alliance to work with governors across the country to provide stability and protect the people we serve.

You should be working to make sure every Virginian’s voice is heard yet you voted to give our voice away to California, New York, & Illinois in addition to killing the voices of 10 congressional districts. Hypocrite!
Every eligible American should have an equal voice in our democracy, no matter where they live. That’s why I’m proud to have worked with @DelCiaPrice85 to pass the National Popular Vote Compact, ensuring the candidate with the most votes becomes president.

Let’s get this straight. You & your party had control of the House, Senate & Presidency just a couple years ago & created the highest inflation rate in 40 years. Now you want us to put you back in office b/c you’ll lower costs? You do know the definition of insanity, right?
We need a Democratic Congress so we can lower costs, end Trump’s tariffs and this disastrous war in Iran, put real guardrails on AI, and put checks on the corruption coming from this administration. Let’s turn out in record numbers for Virginia Democrats! IWillVote.com

The qualification bar for every political office is far too low evidenced by the lack of life experience and inability to recognize consequences of terrible activism driven legislation. Yet it seems like voters want to elect people who are less capable than the ones who place them there. And in the case of AG Jones, who are more dangerous than they are too.
The qualifications to be Attorney General of Virginia, apparently: You must have an office that misspells “Virginia,” “Attorney” and “Senator.” You must send texts fantasizing about shooting a political adversary—and write about going to opponents’ funerals to piss on their graves. You wish for your political adversaries children to die in their mother’s arms. You must get convicted of reckless driving after doing 116 mph in a 70-mph zone. Then submit 500 hours of work for your own political action committee as “community service” to help mitigate your punishment. You must suffer high-profile courtroom setbacks defending the Democrats’ redistricting scheme and gun restrictions—then keep promising the next appeal will fix everything. You must celebrate winning a case preserving in-state tuition eligibility for students here illegally. Meanwhile, Virginians are asking why the governor’s administration sent voting-rights restoration letters to dead people. You must defend Virginia’s attempt to tell federal law-enforcement officers whether they can wear masks—and have a federal judge block enforcement while the case proceeds. Quite a résumé for the Commonwealth’s chief law-enforcement officer.

Oh sweet Jesus 😳 🤦 This is what happens, people like this get elected to represent you, when informed voters stay home while morons take the time to vote. “What are you gunna do”?
This is NOT a skit. Jaime West, a Democrat running for Fayette County Council in Indiana, gave an EMBARRASSING interview where she appears to mumble and rant the entire time. Is she intoxicated?

It’s as though people who vote for this believe they’ll end up in the elite class rather than the underclass. Same reason they play the lottery. ‘May the odds be ever in your favor’

I’ll go with the dude who’s not in a hospital with a mental breakdown at the moment. @jfradioshow
Who will win the Texas Senate? Trade it on Kalshi.

The more I see from Spencer Pratt the more I like him. Kinda tired of politics and politicians of late. Normal Americans bring a fresh breath of air.
I generally steer clear of politics in other states - but considering control of the US Senate likely comes down to who wins Texas - this is worth a mention. The Democrat appears to be in a mental hospital. The campaign says he “has the flu”. This is Biden all over. Allegation: Joe is sick. Response : you’re a liar. He’s fit as a fiddle Allegation: Joe is being seen by a cancer doctor. Is he sick Response: they were just playing poker in the east wing. Allegation: Joe sh&t the bed on the debate. Seems like he has dementia. Response: he had the flu. Joes leaves office Announcement: Joe is very sick and likely to die imminently Just stop lying to us. If the guy is in the mental hospital - confirm it. Don’t say he has the flu. Suffering from a serious mental health illness requiring hospitalization would not disqualify anyone to run for office as a Democrat. He would be in good company.

Unless you’re a devout Communist you should see this; and share it with friends and family
Everybody with common sense should vote Republican in November! If you don't believe me, just listen to this.. No Socialist/Communist!!

He’s got a better shot at joining a WNBA team.
FWIW, Paul Ryan is only 56 years old. In our age of absolute fiscal irresponsibility, what if the man who took tackling the debt seriously pulls a Winston Churchill and suddenly comes back onto the scene with serious momentum in 2028?

Throughout my entire political grassroots & brief time in office the left constantly & falsely accused Republicans of wanting to cut SS & Medicare. Today, about 50% of my FB feed are young leftist screaming to end SS & Medicare. Make it make sense.

Expired SS #’s getting repurposed every day.

You don’t have to romanticize boomers. But give them some credit. A lot of them spent decades working, saving, investing and accumulating assets. Now they’re enjoying the result. That’s not a bug in the system. That’s literally how wealth accumulation is supposed to work.

🚨Abigail Spanberger unveiled her energy plan today… spoiler alert: it’s TERRIBLE. Here’s the rundown: ➡️The plan acknowledges that removing Virginia from RGGI, repealing VCEA, & ending the mandates would save ratepayers $127 BILLION ➡️The plan invents a totally bogus “social cost of carbon” statistic to make it look less expensive than it really is. ➡️Up to 277,000 acres of farms and forests will be converted to big, ugly solar arrays. ➡️The plan admits that Virginia must import 30 PERCENT of its energy from other states if it is implemented, adding even more costs for ratepayers. ➡️Under this plan, the projected average residential electricity bill will be $274/month by 2039. BOTTOM LINE: Spanberger & Democrats’ plan will result in YOUR FAMILY paying more, not less. This is not an “affordability” plan. It’s Virginia’s very own version of the Green New Scam that will make electricity - and everything else - more expensive.

Yeah Mark, we’d be so much better off with your terrorists buddies having a nuke. We know where your loyalty is.
Hundreds of servicemembers have been injured or died.   Americans have spent $107 billion extra on fuel.   The Pentagon has spent over $43.6 billion.   Mortgage rates and grocery inflation are soaring.   These are the costs of Trump’s failing war of choice.
