With Northam and his fellow Democrats in control of Virginia’s executive and legislative branches, it’s no wonder many of the state’s rural, conservative citizens are seeking refuge in neighboring West Virginia.
Ahead of a rally in Richmond last month to protest a proposal by lawmakers to ban so-called “assault weapons ” — among other gun control bills — gun rights advocates were barred by Northam from exercising their constitutional rights by carrying firearms on state capitol grounds.
The move by Northam, along with proposed laws limiting the Second Amendment, have made it apparent to many in the commonwealth that a plurality of their elected officials in Richmond no longer support them.
WSLS reported that a petition to secede from Virginia and join West Virginia to escape the state’s oppressive liberal policies is supported by many rural Virginians. The so-called “Vexit” movement is also backed by Justice.
“We stand strongly for the Second Amendment and stand strongly for the unborn,” Justice said in January, according to WSET. “West Virginia stands with open arms.”

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi upped the rhetorical ante once again this week, doubling down on numerous Democratic efforts to oust President Donald Trump.
Detailing her second stint as House Speaker and discussing party prospects for a hotly contested 2020 presidential election, the California Democrat told Variety in an exclusive interview released Tuesday that, despite whispers of a potential retirement in 2017, she was too committed to “progressive ideals” to call it quits at a time when such values stood to gain as much ground as they could in the 2018 midterms.
Seeming also to bolster that drive to go one more round on the Hill, however, was a strong will to ensure Trump would be a one-term president — whether that be through an impeachment trial or at the ballot box.
“We have the most dangerous person in the history of our country sitting in the White House,” Pelosi said.
“That’s different from what happened in 2016,” the 17-term congresswoman added. “People thought Hillary would win, so they didn’t all turn out. Nobody could possibly think that somebody like Donald Trump could be elected president of the United States. But if you don’t turn out, those who do turn out will call the shots.”
Pelosi expressed hopes Tuesday that Democratic voter turnout would be far greater in 2020 than it had been in 2016, galvanized in large part by congressional failure to remove the president from office by way of impeachment.
The Senate voted to acquit Trump earlier this year on both Democratic articles of impeachment relating to alleged leveraging of U.S. foreign aid to Ukraine for political purposes, but Pelosi confirmed she still believes the impeachment was justified and has no regrets.
“He gave us no choice,” Pelosi said. “He was in such violation, he made Nixon look like a babe in the woods compared to what he did. Violating our Constitution, undermining our national security and jeopardizing the security and integrity of our elections.”
Alleged foreign policy improprieties were apparently not the only reason for the House Speaker’s assessment that Trump is “the most dangerous person” in United States history, Variety reported.
According to Pelosi, there were numerous others, from alleged dishonesty to supposedly unconstitutional executive actions — but chief among them was the president’s perceived “harming” of children.
“I have real problems with this president because he doesn’t tell the truth, he doesn’t honor the Constitution and he’s harming children,” Pelosi said.
“My whole message is about children. Anybody who hurts children,” she warned. “I’m a lioness. Watch out.”
What harm Pelosi was referencing is unclear.
The California Democrat has on more than one occasion attacked Trump on this charge, suggesting last June that the president’s behavior was “scaring the children of America.”
She has also spoken quite passionately in recent years about the Trump administration’s separation of children from their parents during illegal immigration apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border.
A self-professed Catholic, Pelosi’s hawkish defensive position with regard to the harming of children does not, however, seem to extend to unborn children.
In fact, Pelosi told an audience at NARAL Pro-Choice America’s 50th anniversary celebration last September that laws banning abortions performed on unborn children who are pain-capable or display a heartbeat “ignore basic morality.”

“Today, as we know, an all-out assault on women’s reproductive freedoms is sweeping the nation, as Republicans seek to impose abortion bans on millions of women in dozens of states,” Pelosi lamented. “Every woman, everywhere has the constitutional and moral right to basic reproductive health care.”
Pelosi is a staunch defender of precedent-setting Supreme Court abortion decision Roe v. Wade and has made no public attempts to moderate the Democratic Party’s platform with regard to abortion — despite its trend in an increasingly radical direction under her renewed leadership.
Democratic presidential primary candidates have engaged in something of a race to the bottom on the topic of abortion in recent months, with former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor and candidate Pete Buttigieg unwilling to place any restrictions on abortion — up to the point of delivery — and off-and-on front-runner Joe Biden suddenly advocating for government-funded abortions as of last year.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy criticized the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Tuesday for running ads against Republican House members for the Trump administration’s coronavirus response.
“We are not in the majority, we cannot determine the floor so Speaker Pelosi left and had us leave Congress. This week, we hope we’re able to bring it up,” he told reporters at a media conference, The Hill reported.
The California Republican pointed out that because Republicans cannot control what is discussed on the House floor, they should not be subjected to attacks from the Democrats.
“And why now is … the DCCC running ads against seven Republicans on something they could not vote on?” he said.
“Are they playing politics and holding the money up so their political arm can attack Republicans on this issue? Can they for one time put people before politics?”
The California Republican was responding to the DCCC’s announcement that it will be running ads on Facebook against Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar’s comments about the coronavirus he made during a hearing on Wednesday.
Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois had asked Azar if a vaccine will be affordable for the people who need it, Forbes reported.
“We would want to ensure that we work to make it affordable, but we can’t control that price because we need the private sector to invest,” Azar replied. “Price controls won’t get us there.”
The DCCC’s ads target Azar and say, “The Trump administration would rather pad the pockets of drug manufacturers than provide access to an affordable coronavirus vaccine.”

McCarthy responded by saying Democrats need to “stop playing politics with this” crisis.
“I think they owe the American public an apology. I think the speaker needs to apologize, Cheri Bustos needs to take those ads down and stop playing politics with this. America is nervous, we’ve been preparing for years in advance,” he said, referring to the DCCC chair, an Illinois representative.
The House minority leader outlined how Republicans have been preparing for an outbreak like this in an interview on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”

“She’s younger than Donald Trump by a year,” he noted. “She’s younger than Joe Biden by four years. Is it that she’s run before? This would be Bernie Sanders’ second time, and Biden’s third time. Is it lack of support? She had 65 million people vote for her.”

Michael Bloomberg has expressed some exceptionally bigoted opinions about minorities, especially black Americans.
Fortunately, President Trump is disproving Bloomberg’s ignorant claims by empowering the black community to prosper like never before.
Bloomberg thinks black Americans aren’t suited for the workplace.
Yet with Donald Trump in the White House, the black unemployment rate has reached the lowest level ever recorded, and poverty among black Americans has fallen to an all-time low.
In 2011, while he was serving as mayor of New York City, the party-flipping billionaire asserted that young black and Latino men “don’t know how to behave in the workplace,” offering this gross overgeneralization as an explanation for the lower socioeconomic status of some minority communities.
President Trump has taken a very different view, concluding that the difficulties experienced in low-income communities aren’t tied to any inherent failings on the part of residents, but simply reflect a lack of opportunity.
His pro-growth economic agenda is providing that opportunity to formerly forgotten Americans, helping people to stand on their own two feet, provide for their families and achieve more than they previously thought possible.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act — which saved the average taxpayer about $1,400 on their federal income taxes in 2018 and helped kick off the blue-collar boom this country is experiencing today — also included a provision establishing the “Opportunity Zones” initiative, which provides carefully targeted federal tax credits to developers willing to invest in distressed communities all over the country.

westernjournal--2020-03-03--Donna Brazile Snaps and Tells RNC Chair To ‘Go to Hell!’ — GOP Response Is Pure Class

Super Tuesday isn ’ t even over yet , and Democrats are getting unhinged .
Veteran Dem strategist and former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile erupted Tuesday in front of millions of Fox News viewers after being confronted with the accusation that the Democratic nomination process was “ rigged ” against Bernie Sanders .
After the 2016 contest , when the Democratic establishment threw its weight solidly behind Hillary Clinton to deny Sanders the nomination , the statement was hardly controversial .
But Fox viewers would never have known that from Brazile ’ s reaction .
“ Go to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ staple comment on daytime political talk shows , but the unhinged Brazile not only used it once , she repeated it when “ America ’ s Newsroom ” host Ed Henry tried to calm things down .
Check it out here : What set Brazile off was a statement by Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel observing what literally anyone following politics today already knows : The Democrats are desperate to stop Sanders , the democratic socialist from Vermont , from being the party ’ s standard-bearer in November .
Discussing the status @ @ @ @ @ @ @ possibility of a “ brokered ” Democratic convention , where none of the contenders arrives in Milwaukee in July with the majority of delegates required for the nomination , McDaniel said the Democratic establishment would make sure Sanders did not get the honor .
“ It does depend on how big the lead that Sanders takes out of California is , if he picked up a huge proportion of delegates , but I don ’ t see anybody getting out [ of the race ] soon , ” she said .
“ And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brokered convention , which will be rigged against Bernie if those superdelegates have their way on that second vote.
” None of what McDaniel said would be controversial to an honest observer .
But Brazile is a Democrat , which means honesty isn ’ t in the equation .
Asked to comment on McDaniel ’ s statements , Brazile intended to sound “ outraged , ” no doubt .
Instead , she just sounded unhinged .
“ Stay the hell out of our race , ” Brazile said .
“ I get sick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tell me and the Democrats about our process .
First of all , they don ’ t have a process .
They are canceling primaries .
They have winner-take-all .
They don ’ t have the kind of democracy that we see on the Democratic side .
“ And for people to use Russian talking points to sow division among Americans — that is stupid , ” she said .
“ So Ronna , go to hell !
This is not about– ” Henry cut her off there with a “ whoa , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to consider what Brazile said .
First of all , unlike the once- and still-crowded Democratic field , President Donald Trump faces no serious opposition for the Republican nomination .
Polls show that — Sen. Mitt Romney ’ s impeachment histrionics notwithstanding — the party is united in support of the Trump presidency .
The “ canceling primaries ” charge is a dead parrot , and even Brazile knows it .
Second , if Democrats call their rigged nomination process democracy , it ’ s probably a good thing for the Republic that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in shenanigans like that .
Brazile soon got rolling again with her unhinged oration .
“ No , go to hell , ” she repeated , addressing McDaniel by apostrophe .
“ I ’ m tired of it , Ed .
“ We ’ re not trying to prevent anyone from becoming the nominee .
If you have the delegates and win , you will win .
This notion that somehow or another Democrats are out there trying to put hurdles or roadblocks before one candidate , that ’ s stupid .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They ’ re scared of Democrats coming together to defeat Donald Trump.
” There ’ s a barnyard euphemism out there for statements like that .
Simply put , everyone knows the Democratic establishment doesn ’ t want Sanders as the nominee — and that “ everyone ” very much includes Sanders and his supporters .
And Republicans , from the White House on down to individual registered voters , should know that this election is going to be a hard-fought battle , where every vote and dollar counts .
But to say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrats is overstating things considerably .
The opposition party right now is so badly fractured that it will be a while before Republicans are going to be worried .
“ I ’ d be having a bad day too if my party was still hopelessly divided , ” she wrote .
“ Talk of a brokered convention and the DNC trying to stop Bernie obviously hit a little close to home.
” On Super Tuesday , with voters in 14 states and American Samoa deciding on the Democratic nomination for 2020 , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cement his lead as the nomination race front-runner , Democrats are likely dreading the idea of both a Sanders nomination and a brokered convention .
And as Brazile ’ s outburst shows , they ’ re getting unhinged .

“It does depend on how big the lead that Sanders takes out of California is, if he picked up a huge proportion of delegates, but I don’t see anybody getting out [of the race] soon,” she said. “And it’s leaning towards potentially a brokered convention, which will be rigged against Bernie if those superdelegates have their way on that second vote.”

“We’re not trying to prevent anyone from becoming the nominee. If you have the delegates and win, you will win.

But to say Trump supporters are “scared” of Democrats is overstating things considerably.
The opposition party right now is so badly fractured that it will be a while before Republicans are going to be worried.
In fact, McDaniel’s response to Brazile’s outburst put things perfectly:
It’s ok, @donnabrazile. I’d be having a bad day too if my party was still hopelessly divided. Talk of a brokered convention and the DNC trying to stop Bernie obviously hit a little close to home. — Ronna McDaniel (@GOPChairwoman) March 3, 2020
“It’s ok,
“I’d be having a bad day too if my party was still hopelessly divided,” she wrote. “Talk of a brokered convention and the DNC trying to stop Bernie obviously hit a little close to home.”
On Super Tuesday, with voters in 14 states and American Samoa deciding on the Democratic nomination for 2020, and the very real possibility that Sanders could cement his lead as the nomination race front-runner, Democrats are likely dreading the idea of both a Sanders nomination and a brokered convention.
And as Brazile’s outburst shows, they’re getting unhinged.

People from all across the nation jumped to show support and offer prayers for Tennessee.
Celebrities and politicians alike used their platform to bring attention to the devastation in the state:
Prayers for all of those affected by the devastating tornadoes in Tennessee. We will continue to monitor the developments. The Federal Government is with you all of the way during this difficult time. https://t.co/eZlA7Ahruj — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 3, 2020
Praying for all those affected by the devastating storms in Tennessee and my heart is especially with the families who lost loved ones ❤ We are all with you. pic.twitter.com/hlPS6RJWH4 — Dolly Parton (@DollyParton) March 3, 2020
Praying for everyone in Nashville and Middle Tennessee dealing with the aftermath of last night’s tornado. ??I’m just heartbroken and saying special prayers for the families who lost loved ones. Please stay safe. ? — Reese Witherspoon (@ReeseW) March 3, 2020
Thanks to these popular figures shining a spotlight on the disaster, there’s little doubt that relief aid and volunteers will flood the state to help rebuild.
Cleanup is expected to continue as many families now face the struggle of rebuilding homes and lives.
While the survivors will eventually move on, these tornadoes will always be remembered by the residents of Nashville and middle Tennessee.

westernjournal--2020-03-03--After Bernie Smears AIPAC, Calls for a Second Holocaust Ring Out Outside Conference

If you ’ ve ever lived in Washington D.C. , you know there are certain infestations of political insects that , try as you might , you ’ ll never be able to get rid of .
The worst are the Lyndon LaRouche people .
If you ’ re too young to remember who Lyndon LaRouche was or have never lived in D.C. , LaRouche was a cult political figure with the emphasis on cult .
A convicted fraudster , LaRouche was also a perennial presidential candidate who ran a strange political organization that was somewhere between the Hare Krishnas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scale .
His wild-eyed acolytes were known for strange demonstrations that involved singing and aggressively shoving fliers into your hands .
“ Who ’ s afraid of Lyndon LaRouche ?
!
” the one in my neighborhood would always shout at me , stepping in front of me as I tried to go to the Metro station .
In short , they weren ’ t fun and no amount of intellectual fumigation could get rid of them .
Next to the LaRouche were the “ free Palestine ” people .
These weren ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wanted Palestine to achieve statehood .
Their idea of freeing Palestine was usually freeing it from any sort of Israeli taint , which usually meant getting rid of Israel .
This was usually a cover for the most conspiratorial sort of anti-Semitism , the kind where the believer is convinced that the Jewish people control everything bad that happens in the world , from wars to famine to that version of “ The Mummy ” with Tom Cruise in it .
Their main target is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee .
AIPAC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of pro-Israel policy in Washington .
Most powerful nations have lobby groups of this sort , but the free Palestine folks ascribe mystical powers to AIPAC , believing they have a limitless source of money they can use to buy politicians off and pull any string they want when it comes to American foreign policy .
WARNING : The following tweet and videos contains vulgar language that some viewers may find offensive .
Viewer discretion is advised .
You may remember this theory from Rep. Ilhan Omar ’ s tweet about our policy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Benjamins.
” Omar doesn ’ t share the perfervid nature of free Palestine folk , but she ’ s certainly willing to give them a bit of ideological cover and respectability .
So , too , is Sen. Bernie Sanders .
The socialist senator from Vermont recently announced in a very public manner that he wasn ’ t going to speak at AIPAC ’ s policy summit in Washington .
As the group pointed out , he ’ d never actually attended it before , so this shouldn ’ t have been a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was Sanders ’ language .
RELATED : Israeli Ambassador Insults Bernie Then Declares 'We Do n't Want Him in Israel' “ The Israeli people have the right to live in peace and security .
So do the Palestinian people .
I remain concerned about the platform AIPAC provides for leaders who express bigotry and oppose basic Palestinian rights , ” Sanders said , referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu , his government and his supporters .
“ As president , I will support the rights of both Israelis and Palestinians and do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the region , ” he added .
AIPAC ’ s policy conference began Sunday afternoon — and wouldn ’ t you know it , the free Palestine folks decided to demonstrate .
Strangely enough , even though the conference had made plenty of news , there weren ’ t many people on hand to cover the demonstration itself .
In fact , the most coverage the event got was through the following clip , which went viral on the conservative side of social media .
“ The Holocaust .
Remember the Holocaust @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you , ” a man could be heard yelling .
“ Hitler will come back , ” he added .
To be fair , I ’ m not entirely sure this guy isn ’ t an agent provocateur or plant of some sort ( or “ false flag ” if you ’ re into Infowars-y type language ) .
That fact might have caused a few people to pass this one by — which would have been a mistake .
Here ’ s the full video , which is an almost shockingly obscene @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the free Palestine brigade being : Firstly , for the uninitiated : “ From the river to the sea / Palestine will be free ” is a favorite slogan of terror group/Palestinian political party Hamas .
What it means , essentially , is that everything from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea will belong to Palestine — i.e.
, the elimination of Israel .
And then at 1:25 , there ’ s someone with a crude homemade sign ( most of them are , but this one especially so ) saying “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opportunity was lost to history by not asking this giant of the intelligentsia what was meant by this placard .
There were plenty of f-bombs to be had and most of the birds I sighted during the video came from the hands of protesters .
Just in case you didn ’ t get the whole “ from the river to the sea ” message , there was also an emphatic “ death to Israel ” chant .
There was the usual contingent of Jews who are against the state of Israel , either @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it .
A young child on his father ’ s shoulders , holding a megaphone and leading a “ the state of Israel must go ” chant , was a particularly low point , both for the protest and for Greta Thunbergism in general .
In short , the second Holocaust part — if it wasn ’ t some saboteur engaging in performance art — wasn ’ t that far off from the general tenor of the event .
This isn ’ t to directly connect Bernie Sanders ’ rhetoric with the actions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But imagine this happening on the other side .
Imagine a crowd this full of hate , except the fringes of the same side President Donald Trump is on .
This footage would play endlessly on CNN and MSNBC .
It is worth noting that this is potentially going to be a source of major division in the Democratic Party in the coming years .
Bernie Sanders isn ’ t responsible for this kind of anti-Semitism , yet this part of the leftist fringe is becoming louder and more insistent .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ table .
Whether or not they get one — whether or not this bile is repackaged into something more acceptable and put into mainstream circulation — is up to the Democrats .
In a way , it ’ s already happened .
Sen. Sanders doesn ’ t flirt with this sort of thing , AIPAC-baiter though he may be .
Rep. Omar does .
Calmly accusing American Jewry of dual loyalties — as she did shortly after the “ all about the Benjamins ” tweet , just in case you didn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her — is a dignified way of fitting overt bigoted rage into respectably covert dog whistling .
Fellow “ squad ” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has used similarly problematic language , talking about the Israeli “ occupation.

Charming.
To be fair, I’m not entirely sure this guy isn’t an agent provocateur or plant of some sort (or “false flag” if you’re into Infowars-y type language). That fact might have caused a few people to pass this one by — which would have been a mistake.

What it means, essentially, is that everything from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea will belong to Palestine — i.e., the elimination of Israel.
And then at 1:25, there’s someone with a crude homemade sign (most of them are, but this one especially so) saying “Voting Rigged By Jewish Media.” An opportunity was lost to history by not asking this giant of the intelligentsia what was meant by this placard.
There were plenty of f-bombs to be had and most of the birds I sighted during the video came from the hands of protesters.
Just in case you didn’t get the whole “from the river to the sea” message, there was also an emphatic “death to Israel” chant.
There was the usual contingent of Jews who are against the state of Israel, either because of political or religious qualms about it.
A young child on his father’s shoulders, holding a megaphone and leading a “the state of Israel must go” chant, was a particularly low point, both for the protest and for Greta Thunbergism in general.
In short, the second Holocaust part — if it wasn’t some saboteur engaging in performance art — wasn’t that far off from the general tenor of the event.
This isn’t to directly connect Bernie Sanders’ rhetoric with the actions by nutters in the free Palestine crowd.
But imagine this happening on the other side.
