Random News and Notes 5 October
We start in the Commonwealth of Virginia on this fine Sunday. Democrats there – and nationally – are currently defending wishing death on someone. The comments were made by the Dem candidate for Attorney General ,Jay Jones. He made the comments in a text exchange. The person that Jones wants dead – I use that tense because he still hasn’t actually apologized or otherwise disavowed the comments – is the Speaker of the Virginia House, Todd Gilbert. The comments included wishing Gilbert’s two children dead as well.
This little kerfuffle has made its way into the gubernatorial race. Abigail Spanberger, the far left Dem candidate has endorsed Jones and so far has not pulled that endorsement. Republican candidate Winsome Sears has made hay about this issue, and rightfully so.
Hopefully Virginians get their shit squared away and realize what the Dems are.
The Supreme Court sided with the Trump Administration in a case styled Noem v National TPS Alliance. That case sought to prevent the end of temporary protected status for some 600,000 Venezuelans here in the US. A west coast district judge and the 9th circuit decided that had the power to force the administration to continue with the temporary status. SCOTUS disagreed.
The decision to remove the stay and allow deportations to begin was 6-3. The usual gang of idiots voted against it and the dumbest of the lot wrote a short – for her – dissent. She somehow managed to cite her own dissent in another case as support.
After letting it sit on his desk for more than a week, North Carolina’s Democratic Governor, Josh Stein, signed “Iryna’s Law”. You’ll remember Iryna Zarutska, the Ukrainian refugee that was murdered on the Charlotte NC light rail system.
While, like most of this kind of legislation, this seems like closing the barn door after the horse got out, it does serve a purpose. Hopefully it prevents this kind of tragedy going forward.
