I live here because of work, but it’s become a deep-blue hellhole. It’s not the mid-2000s anymore. We have lunatics aplenty in Virginia, who opted to elect Abigail Spanberger, who donned a Dr. Evil-like moon suit during COVID, and Jay Jones, who wishes to see me and my family dead because I’m not a Democrat, as attorney general. They have the trifecta here. And a parade of horribles is coming. If you’re able to move and are a conservative Virginian, it might be time to flee, because this list of new taxes and other public policy nonsense is going to pass.

🚨BREAKING: The Virginia Senate democrats just passed language for a constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion up until birth in the Virginia Constitution.

The amendment will appear on the ballot this fall.
