I feel sorry for the Governor. This has to be one of his worst nights of his life. After doing 100 campaign events, he lost the state Senate AND House of Delegates.
Youngkin may need to rethink his future in politics. Although this election wasn’t about him. It was about abortion, always the Democrat’s MOST important issue. They lied saying Republicans would ban ALL abortions, and probably birth control too. Scaring Democrats always works to get them into the voting booth.
The newly elected Senate is now 17 Republicans and 21 Democrats with two districts not yet called but are expected to go to Republicans in both districts. The new House of Delegates is currently 51 Democrats and 47 Republicans. The two outstanding races are expected to be Republican, giving the party a total 49 Republicans. It doesn’t get much closer than that, in both Houses. Results can be found here.
There was some good news for my Loudoun County friends. Our awful Commonwealth Attorney, who won with George Soro’s funding, Buta Biberaj, has been defeated by Republican Bob Anderson who currently is ahead of her by 1000 votes. Also great news in Loudoun is my friend Geary Higgins will be my new delegate. AND all of our Loudoun Republican Constitutional officers were elected! Congratulations to all of them!
The fact that ALL of our Loudoun Constitutional officers were Republican shows some Virginians care about their safety, their money, their courts and their taxes. We are in good hands with them at the helm. If only our voters cared about electing legislators based on some concerns like these, rather than abortion being their most important issue. We could have won both Houses, but abortion is the be all and end all for Democrats. They care about nothing else if that issue is on the ballot. Loudoun numbers are here.

The best thing that came out of Tuesday’s elections is that nationwide, “Moms for Liberty” was exposed as a gaggle of psycho Nazis.

Loudoun County School Board: Normal people replaced the rightwing loons. Ditto for school boards in Fairfax, Spotsy, Albermale.
After almost four years of vile accusations of racism, pedophilia, incompetence and more, voters in Fairfax rejected the lies and returned Rachna Sizemore Heizer, Melanie Meren, Ricardy Anderson and Karl Frish to the School Board, along with a sweep of all pro-public education newcomers. Rachna Sizemore Heizer said “Today, Fairfax County resoundingly rejected the GOP’s divisive politics and relentless attacks on our schools, students and staff, and stood strong in support of public education. It has been a tough four years on the school board, but we’ve stood strong knowing the majority of Fairfax County shared our values of an excellent education in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Now on to work making our great schools even better for every child.”
Spotsylvania County, with one of the most “toxic” school boards in the Commonwealth, flipped from MAGA extremist to centrist, teacher-focused sanity. Carol Medowar, a newcomer to politics, and part of the wave that flipped the Spotsylvania school board, stated “I’m just so happy for the students, families, and educators who really get to breathe a sigh of relief for this race. It’s a huge flip on the Spotsy school board.”
In Loudoun County, the genesis of the politization of public education education, pro-public school supporters held their ground in a clear referendum on Youngkin’s plan to dismantle public schools, drive out teachers and humiliate trans-kids. The acrimony and chaos of the last four years drove every member of the prior school board out of the race. However, the new board, with all new members, will maintain a strong pro-public school majority, despite Youngkin’s concerted, last minute attempt to influence the race. According to Loudoun public school advocate Andrew Pihonek, “a brand new school board will be a breath of fresh air for many in Loudoun.”
Albermarle-Charlottesville followed the same trend as Loudoun, Fairfax and Spotsylvania, rejecting candidates who tried to re-write our history and ban books.
“Youngkin’s plan to dismantle public schools, drive out teachers, and humiliate trans-kids…”
You are absolutely right. I surely want my nieces indoctrinated by hate filled imbeciles that pretend to be teachers.
Moreover, I’m also for black, feral low lives masquerading as girls, raping my nieces in the girls’ bathrooms.
In Franklin County over the last four years, 5 of the 8 progressive school board members have been ousted, replaced by sane people. We now have an overwhelming majority. Next year we’ll run the table. (Thank you D.C.).
Stay up in NOVA. The cancer y’all spread is in remission south of The James River.
Spoken like a true MAGAt. And I don’t live in NOVA . . . I live in a rural county, population 11,000; 37% over 65; young people leaving; voted 72% for Trump. As I watch this county die — both literally and figuratively — I am watching the impact on this place of people who spout the same crap as you.
But if it makes you happy to believe the crap you spout, it just tickles me to death. I’m happy for you, live in your sick little fantasy world.
Got your panties in a bunch soy boy?
🤣
Dems hold both chambers by 1 seat. Youngkin/Miyares/Sears all won by 2%. Virginia is about as evenly divided as you can get. Nothing really changed this election cycle. The trench warfare continues.
Condolences D’Marcus, your girl was within a pubic hair of pulling it out, or in, depending on your point of view ;). I’m sure you have her on your faves list though so she can get back to work providing entertainment for you to “research”
You are the one that support her SBN, you wanker son of a bitch. Bet you have your pants down right now you pervert. Oh but you were in the navy… so you probably are a fudge packer.
But yes, you are correct (finally), I am for she and her husband (and consenting adults in general) to engage in mutually agreed upon sexual relations. And if they can get your pseudo-conservative dumbass to pay to watch them, more power to them. Last I checked, consenting adults and free market were conservative tenents. But since you’re an acknowledged commie sympathizer, I can see how you’d have a problem with that. Turn the channel comrade.
How’s the pickings on Grindr today … yoohoo hey sailor!!1
Bwahaha!, you’re the one infatuated with and doing all that “research”. Grindr?, never been there but I’m sure you can tell me all about it though. Yep, Navy. In what branch of the service did you say you were in? That’s right, the same one as the rest of the “true patriots” cowards. The stay home on mama’s tit brigade.
What abut School Board and Board of Supervisors in Loudoun?
The MAGAts were routed, removed from Loudoun school board and supervisors.
I thought maybe, just maybe, the issue to supersede unborn baby killing would be concern for living children–schools’ craziness with promoting transgenderism, dumbing down curricula (“equity), parents’ rights, etc.
Yesterday children lost in Virginia.
Yesterday good government lost in Virginia.
Very unsporting of the Democrats to take Republicans on their word regarding abortion. Is it mass infanticide that must be stopped no matter what or isn’t it, guys?
Fairfax Country is in mourning.
I think the most liberal part of the state is pretty happy about Democrats winning, actually
1) Donald John Trump, he destroys everything he touches. And that includes the Republican Party. Republicans would now have majority control of the U.S. Senate were it not for Trumps’s Georgia fiasco. This would have blocked Biden’s left wing SCOTUS nominee, trillions in spending by Biden to stay in office, and, prevented a mid-east banana republic (Israel) from having control of the U.S. Senate
2) Trying to legislate any form of righteousness will likely be a loser. Choosing good or evil, is still a personal choice, just as it was in the Garden of Eden.
3) Based on their individual state legislative attempts in the so called Bible belt in recent years, the Republicans would ban even a cock roach from getting an abortion were it up to them. And, they would outlaw any and all forms of birth control. Do no lie to yourself, the Catholic Church is driving this attempt at legislated self righteousness. But, apparently there is little interest in banning the total and absolute crooked politician corruption in our state houses, the White House, and the US Congress, Nothing but thieves, crooks, and liars allowed in elected government. The mainstream media in this country is under government control, and election results are now based on media provided disinformation.
Buddy if you think the Catholic church is the animating force behind the Christian right in America you are fucking dumb
Y’all need to look on the bright side this morning for your glass is not half empty but half full;
At least “your job or business” isn’t being undermined by illegal commerce in VIRGINIA via the employment of illegal aliens operating as Unlicensed Contractors.
Any Republican or “Conservatives” want to tackle those issues.
Can you write anything that does not involve Illegal contractors in Virginia? It’s not normal for someone to let anything eat away at them for decades like you do this one subject. I do not disagree about the DPOR agenda. But, you cannot change it. Get help dude, please get help.
The United States was build on slave or cheap labor. That is not going to change.
Current legislation in Virginia combined with the immigration issue compels me to write about it also it is my profession.
Now
Should we have legislators bringing forth legislation that causes tax fraud and job loss?
Get Help,
You have misinterpreted what I say about DPOR.
When you have a sitting Representative (elected by the people) taking Campaign donations from a contractor under investigation by DPOR/Dept of Commerce interfering with the investigation that some see that as blatant corruption.
You must purge the corrupt from your party.
You won’t ask any less from the liberatards
What a bizarre use of scare quotes
