@MSNBC Succinctly put by retired AF Col @RichAndersonRPV TM
Desperately trying any #lie to smear @GlennYoungkin & make election abt Trump or race. It’s neither. It’s parents legitimate fears for children’s safety in schools, covering up sexual assaults of 2 HS girls by Dem GA
This Va election isn’t about race as TM & Dem narrative are spinning it. That’s a battle that grabs press & emotions & attention away from real issues that @GlennYoungkin addresses on public safety,school safety, McAuliffe lowered school standards so now lowest US #Math scores
And Va economy, which Bloomberg data shows grew only 0.2% over last 2 yrs despite GovVa claims of strong economy based on $2.6 billion surplus but @Jeffersoninst data showed the surplus is from major tax hikes by BlueGA 2019-2021. Truth is bad for Dems this year, so #Lies & Spin
In short, with extremists in control in Va & DC, TM schifted far left, defund police, HS girls sexually assaulted in LoudounCoschools (AGHerring home base & he won’t investigate) Moms are mad. Moms started this revolt of MamaBears & PapaBears defending their cubs. #ParentsMatter
@alexwagner I’ll answer some questions you asked abt Va. McAuliffe is not trusted outsideNoVa. The issue w #CRT isn’t about teaching true history of race & slavery. It is as @GeorgeWill said “Parents want children to get an education not indoctrination.” McAulliffe ads about GY.
The only person who lies more than Trump is Stoney, RVA mayor.All the #lies & vicious attacks are coming from VaDemocrats. NOT top GOP state. The @RichAndersonRPV has brought the party back to mainstream Va & the ticket is more diverse, younger than Dems. Extremists run Dem party
Slavery wasn’t ignored in Va Scools before 1970 as a Journo wrote. I was in Va schools then. It was taught in 4 th grade Va History in a book showing arrival of 1stAfricans in 2619 marched off boat near Jamestown in chains, manacles, around necks, hands. Realistic depiction at 10
Being Pro Trump is not against the law. Protesting here is not either. Specific illegal actions are being prosecuted. They consider themselves patriots, waving US flags, singing America's National Anthem. @MSNBC@TheLastWord
They believe they are keeping their Oath to the Constitution and to defend America against all enemies. That is the oath they refer to. Their error is taking orders from Trump. Being wrong is not a crime, but specific actions taken that day are and are being prosecuted. @Lawrence
I looked up their website & more about them. Founder has a law degree, was a professional sculptor. Yale law degree. He's intellgent but something dark, sinister, although some of the writings for OathKeepers are idealistic, appealing to those who've served to keep their Oath.
"When America’s school boards start calling in the Feds, you know we’re in a bad place." No kidding but NOT the way @KarenAttiah asserts. I'm appalled it is considered acceptable to call @TheJusticeDept & weaponize @FBI against PARENTS as TERRORISTS in America! NO WAY @JoeBiden
Putin's system just classified Navalny as a terrorist. Navalny is already in prison. That's the biggest difference here. This outrage is exactly comparable to the police state in Russia. I'm a Democrat but not this kind. @JoeBiden WHY? You've hurt all Democrats running this year.
The letter they sent contains implicit threats about the loyalty of theri 90,000 members to @JoeBiden and @TheDemocrats You did NOT have to do excactly as THEY dictated to you and use the #PatriotAct !! SHOCKING. You have handed the perfect issue to @GOP
This is what you get when politicians get on an ideological band wagon based on faulty grasp of reality, make decisions on politics, NOT #facts and @reason@RTDOpinions Richmond runs out on residents (what else is new?) #rvacouncil to cut off #RVA 's gas! @CBS6@NBC12@myVPM
@VaHouse@VaSenate who voted for Virginia Clean Economy Act & similar bills in 2020 and 2021 should further explain if they understood this to be the ultimate goal. When you talk about an economy that is 100 percent carbon free,that means no natural gas. Period. @GlennYoungkin
The Richmond Gas Works, a municipal owned public service utility, is targeted for closure. Council sees its continued operation as “an obstacle.” The city's customers may soon need to run their lives and businesses without natural gas. #RVA@RTDNEWS@NBC12@CBS6@TerryMcAuliffe
Councilwoman Katherine Jordan put that before council & it passed. Eliminating Nat Gas. So what do all the businesses & people do? There's no substitute except further dependence on @DominionEnergy NatGas is a needed bridge to future Net Zero Carbon, NOT 100% C-Free @RTDNEWS
There are no simple fixes 4 our Planet. It will take "All of the Above" approach using cleanest tech at a point in time, while continuously improving technologies. I hate fracking & frack water needs recycling, but that's hard too. H2 intrigues, ZERO C in process - can't pump.
@RichAndersonRPV@JohnMcGuire4VA@WBJonline@rvabizsense@VAChamber@CNBC@NoVaTechCouncil@WSJ Talked to friend, who’s a lawyer, & that Obama reg requirement goes in effect ‘22 mandates ALL small biz, independent contractors, to register under FINRA a $10 K fine if they don’t, & BigBrother will be able to watch your financial transactions, supposedly anti money laundering
@RichAndersonRPV@JohnMcGuire4VA@WBJonline@rvabizsense@VAChamber@CNBC@NoVaTechCouncil@WSJ They’re NOT going after the 1% these are middle class working people & they’ll be under scrutiny to extract blood from these working guys &gals turnips. That’s why they want all the extra IRS funds & staff, to harass the middle class for more taxes to pay for Dem profligacy. #RVA
