Historical inaccuracy in #CRT which was created by a journalist, not a historian. Columbus was not responsible for decline in Native Americans. Spanish Conquistadors Cortez, Pisarro, disease brought by Europeans, slaughter by US Gens Sherman & Custer , tho Custer got his.
@MercuryVirginia This chart from VaGA's JLC but kept very quiet by Dems, Virginia underperformed US economy last 9 years, 80+% under McAuliffe & Northam. Click to see entire chart. Va dropped from No 1 in technology workers, Va's rank since 90s when tech got started, to No 3 now
@MercuryVirginia The job numbers weren't 200K unless you cheat by extrapolating from graph in GovtBureau of Labor Statistics. Were about 150K with more under former guy in 2017. Other ranking in #COVID testing etc 48/50 & US dropped to 43rd in testing globally, why he's not running on his record
@MercuryVirginia Dems still insisted on opaque procedures for elections, knowing press will believe them, not Rs. Here is the source of confusion still not corrected. NO precinct counts. With mail in ballots, only Chesapeake reported precinct counts. True in many states & basis for #BigLie. #RVA

Guess you want to ignore this story too, @RTDMPW Systemic racism is press & pundits refusing to cover the story of a truly diverse @VA_GOP slate since it doesn't fit the racism explanation. #Moms made #ParentsMatter they found @GlennYoungkin & became #ParentsForYoungkin
The overlooked story is that RPV made a conscious decision to move the party toward mainstream & recruit diverse candidates. The ranked choice voting in its primary, as in NYC seems to have worked well, at least with this N=2 sample
Why don't you interview her @RTDMPW ? It may help build bridges. She's really remarkable, heroic, as are all top 3 GOP slate just elected. That's part of this story too.
@KellyCNBC More #lies that IRS going after wealthy. NO They're going after ALL small biz LLCs, S Corps, but THEY call it evasion, but NO CAUSE. Targets ALL to register w FinCEN & bank surveillance @SCSBCC@smallbusiness YES Kelly, they come after you if $10K thru your bank.
@GlennYoungkin grew up in Va too, #RVA -Chesterfield I think, then #VABeach. Lives in Fairfax Co, has done so couple decades. He's smart, basketball scholarship Rice, BS Mechanical Eng & Management; @HarvardHBS MBA top 5% Baker scholar. Self made fortune. McAuliffe is a NewYorker
That means anyone who pays rent, has a mortgage. The initial plan was to surveill any bank account with $600 in transactions. Banks complained, changed to $10K but this sounds like violation of 4th amendment & lack of cause. Dems r just grasping at straws 4 $$ 4 social spending
@alexwagner let me correct your understanding of history of the decimation of Native Americans & who did what. Columbus is not responsible for decimation of Native Americans nor AndrewJackson cause genocide. Spanish Conquistadors Cortez, Pissarro, diseases from Europeans did most
Trail of Tears relocated theCherokee people, to whom I’m distantly related,to lands in OK. Many died. A massacre of 500 settlers in western states prompted Jackson to relocate them, different tribes did the massacre. Sherman & Custer massacred Plains Indians, until Little Bighorn
Lakota Sioux under Crazy Horse led the attack at Little BigHorm, known as Custers last stand. Native Americans have been harmed, displaced. Jackson removed theCherokee,many died on the Trail of Tears but not genocide. Cortez, Sherman closer to genocide but disease killed most
@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
@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.
