New govs expose ‘moderate’ Democrats’ true colors


With their new leaders in Virginia and New Jersey, Democrats this week showed the country an undeniable truth: There’s no such thing as a moderate in their party anymore.

Throughout the 2025 campaign cycle, national media presented a fundamentally false story about the Democratic candidates for governor in the Old Dominion and the Garden State.

Even as commentators acknowledged that Zohran Mamdani represented a move leftward in New York City, legacy media framed former roommates Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill as the centrists in the party.

“Ms. Spanberger and Ms. Sherrill are moderate women,” The New York Times reported as fact.

“The two congresswomen, both moderates, have shared a Capitol Hill apartment for the past four years,” wrote Washington Post columnist Karen Tumulty — and were so close, in fact, that “they sometimes finished each other’s sentences.”

Those sentiments were echoed endlessly: CNN, MSNBC, NPR and others all parroted the line that both women were moderates, pragmatists, centrists or even bipartisan.

What a difference a day makes.

Right after inauguration, both new governors announced their attacks on law and order.


 
As her first official act this week, Spanberger rolled back former Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s order instructing state and local officials to cooperate with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border patrol.

In New Jersey, Sherrill compared current days to the Revolutionary War’s revolt against the king of England, argued that the duly elected President Donald Trump is “illegally usurping power,” and claimed ICE officers represent Trump’s “militia.”

“The protesters have been peaceful, but ICE hasn’t been,” Sherrill told ABC.

“I think the president’s trying to incite the protesters so that he can take America’s eyes off the fact that his militia that he’s building around this country is actually attacking American citizens.”

Does that sound moderate to you?

How far is that, really, from Mayor Mamdani calling for ICE to be abolished entirely?
 
For her part, Spanberger announced a leftist agenda perfectly aligned with the majority-Democrat state legislature in Richmond, whose radical bills will sail through to her desk.

On crime, outgoing Attorney General Jason Miyares noted that the Democrats’ plan will erase mandatory minimum sentencing for “rape, manslaughter, assaulting a law enforcement officer, possession and distribution of child pornography, and other repeat violent felonies.”

“So much for restraint,” he sniped.

Despite inheriting a multibillion-dollar budget surplus, Spanberger’s plan for Virginia is to tax everything that moves, and some things that don’t.

Democrats introduced a new 4.3% tax on every retail delivery in Northern Virginia — hitting services from Amazon to UPS to Uber Eats.

And they want more localities to install money-grubbing speed cameras, just in case those drivers are in a rush.

The approach is modeled on taxes put in place by Minnesota’s Tim Walz, always a good sign of centrist intent.

Virginia Democrats plan to create new taxes or raise existing ones on income, services, hotels, personal property, investments, dry cleaners and gyms.

They even want to tax “property delivered electronically to an end user.”

Yes, that “tudum” is the sound of your Netflix subscription going up.

Spanberger’s Democrats want to ban gas-powered leaf blowers — but also will tax the electric-powered equipment landscapers will have to buy as replacements.

“Was a landscaper mean to Abby Spanberger in high school or something?” wondered one observer on X.

Democrats don’t just want to cement lax COVID-era election laws; they want to expand them.

That means starting early voting even earlier, accepting ballots even longer after Election Day, and making it illegal — yes, illegal — to count ballots by hand.

In 2025, many Virginians had already cast early votes when news broke of Democrat Jay Jones’ texts gleefully fantasizing about the deaths of a Republican colleague’s children.

Spanberger, who dodged criticism on the scandal, apparently wants to lock that in.

And the partisanship doesn’t stop there.

Spanberger’s party is pushing a constitutional redistricting amendment that would likely take Virginia’s current congressional delegation from a 6-5 Democratic advantage to a lopsided 10-1 Dem gerrymander.

A Spanberger-backed constitutional amendment would turn the commonwealth into the only state in the South offering abortion on demand up until birth.

Abortion is already legal in Virginia until the 27th week, but that’s not enough for these “moderates.”

After all that litany of leftism, they might have forgotten one — but don’t worry, they will indeed replace Columbus Day with “Indigenous Peoples Day,” too.

This is what Democrats do when they get power.
 
I have to laugh when Democrats declare criminal aliens “our neighbors.” They really are that dumb and unhinged.

Or would make a great campaign ad for the mid-terms.

Newly sworn-in Gov. Spanberger turns Virginia into a sanctuary state

Abigail Spanberger was sworn in as Virginia’s 75th governor on Saturday. The former CIA operative and Democratic member of Congress swiftly reversed the good work of her Republican predecessor, Glenn Youngkin. As she explained in her inaugural remarks, converting the commonwealth into a sanctuary state tops her agenda.

“In Virginia, our hardworking, law-abiding immigrant neighbors will know that when we say we’ll focus on the security and safety of all of our neighbors, we mean them too,” she said.


After the ceremony, Ms. Spanberger sprinted to her new office to sign an executive order rescinding Mr. Youngkin’s policy of cooperating with Uncle Sam on immigration. Now, when liberal judges turn loose criminals who are also illegal aliens, they will be released onto the streets instead of being returned to their home countries.

Ms. Spanberger’s party wields a near veto-proof majority in the House of Delegates and a strong grip on the state Senate, so all moderating influence has vanished. As its first order of business, the General Assembly last week adopted a constitutional amendment to strengthen its political grip on the state through redistricting.

“Is anyone surprised that democrats in Richmond are more interested in forcing their extreme agenda than solving real problems for Virginians? People want safer neighborhoods and lower costs. Instead, democrats offer an unconstitutional gerrymandering amendment,” Rep. Jennifer Kiggans, Virginia Republican, said on X.

Six Democrats and five Republicans now represent the Old Dominion in Congress. Ms. Kiggans believes the rules are being rigged so that there will be 10 Democrats and one Republican. Confident this will work, Virginia Democrats are unimpeded in their quest to import every nutty idea from California and New York.

One new bill waters down the definition of robbery, ensuring that more crooks will go free on parole. It would even remove certain offenses from the application of the three-strikes law so serial offenders can continue preying on the public.

There’s also a host of revenue raisers, including a per-mile tax on driving and a tax on “property delivered electronically to an end user.” This means the state would add a new fee to every Spotify or Netflix subscription.

The legislature’s gun grabbers can’t wait for Richmond’s new leadership to enact their assault weapons ban, which criminalizes owning a gun with more than 10 rounds in the magazine if it was “manufactured on or after July 1, 2026.” It also makes it a crime for anyone younger than 21 to touch an AR-15, regardless of when it was made.

So, the same politicians who want preteens to undergo sex-change cosmetic surgeries without their parents’ knowledge or consent are raising age limits on holding the nation’s most popular sporting rifle. On one side of the jailhouse, the door is wide open so the thugs can leave. On the other side, the door is open, so the space can be filled with people exercising a constitutional right. In its analysis of the legislation’s effects, the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission isn’t even sure how many new beds it will need.

“Because it expands the potential applicability of existing felony offenses, the proposal may increase the future state-responsible (prison) bed space needs of the Commonwealth. Existing databases do not provide sufficient detail to estimate the number of new felony convictions likely to result from enactment of the proposal,” the commission wrote.

Ms. Spanberger feigned moderation to win the election. Now that she is in charge, her deep-state impulses have resurfaced.

All you ever do is cry about the source while ignoring substance. That's a sign of a brainless dishonest leftist moron.

It is an opinion piece, the “substance” is pure opinion, opinion not including actually facts to back up the opinion, just one opinion, similar to what my barber whines every time someone sits in the chair
