Here’s The Silver Lining In Last Week’s Virginia Elections Democrats Don’t Want You To Know About

Published

on

The outcome of last week’s state legislative elections in Virginia was a major disappointment for Republicans. Not only did Democrats maintain control of the Senate; they also took control of the House of Delegates, effectively stymying GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s conservative agenda for the remainder of his term.

Despite last week’s electoral defeats, there was, however, one significant development that Republicans throughout the country should take heed of if they want to remain competitive in future elections.

In the months leading up to the Nov. 7 contest, Youngkin, along with organizations such as the Republican Party of Virginia (RPV) and Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC), made a major push for GOP voters to cast their ballots early prior to Election Day. RPV Chair Rich Anderson previously told The Federalist that the initiative represented a “cultural shift for us as a party” and emphasized how Republicans can’t afford to “go into our elections down thousands of votes.”

While Virginia Republicans ultimately didn’t come out on top in last week’s elections, their emphasis on absentee and in-person early voting (AB/EV) appears to have won them several pivotal races and limited what could have been much larger Democrat majorities in the General Assembly.

According to a Nov. 9 press release, the RSLC and Virginia Republicans’ push for EV/AB “secured 26% of [the former’s] target universe turnout goal heading into Election Day and converted twice as many low-propensity voters as [it] had set out to do.” Overall, these efforts “increased

If Zuckerberg Truly Regrets His 2020 Censorship, Facebook Should Stop Smothering Free Speech

Published

on

Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg now admits in writing that he was manipulated by the Biden administration into suppressing free speech on Meta platforms. His actions obstructed vital information on effective Covid protocols and bolstered the lie that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. This did enormous damage to our health and polity.

But Facebook’s censorship brought harm to innocent children too. I’m a longtime teacher, and for decades I’ve personally witnessed dangerous corruption in America’s schools. I dared to warn families, so I was silenced by Zuckerberg’s “shadow-banning,” thanks to algorithms imposed by censors (“fact-checkers”) at Meta.

Meta’s banning (as well as Twitter’s) began the very same night of my 2020 speech at the Republican National Convention. My pages changed from active with hundreds of likes and shares to zero likes and shares. And I went from rapid, daily follower increases to a complete halt in growth. Hundreds of my followers have reached out to me since the banning began to tell me that they no longer see my posts in their newsfeeds. Instagram’s (Meta’s) analytics show that an average of only 25 percent of my followers are seeing my content. That’s how shadow-banning works. I’m allowed to post, but my message is squelched.

Though I’m a volunteer in this battle for the kids, I had to hire social media experts to help me get my message to the public. They’ve reignited my social media presence — predominantly on Meta’s Instagram — with a reel-heavy strategy. Our ratios are the highest they’ve ever been — with the exception

Latest Covid Shots Released Without Safety Data Under 4.5-Year-Old ‘Emergency’

Published

on

The Food and Drug Administration last month announced the availability of new Covid-19 vaccines directed to the latest variants in circulation but failed to disclose that the vaccines have not been established as safe and effective. Given the ongoing controversies about prior Covid mRNA vaccines during the pandemic, the FDA should do the work to assure the American people that the well-established standards for vaccine approval are applied to these novel mRNA technologies.

The FDA could release the latest Covid shots without proving safety and efficacy because they remain under the “emergency use authorization” (EUA) category. According to the FDA, “The ‘may be effective’ standard for EUAs provides for a lower level of evidence than the ‘effectiveness’ standard that FDA uses for product approvals.” The FDA has this authority only because the secretary of health and human services determined on Feb. 4, 2020, that there was a public health emergency that involved the virus that causes Covid-19, and this determination has remained in place over four years later.

In 2020, the U.S. was in a Covid public health emergency, but are we still in September 2024? 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that as of Aug. 31, only 2.3 percent of emergency room visits were for Covid. The rate of hospitalization for Covid is only 0.005 percent and is dropping. From a peak death rate in 2021 of 26,028 Americans per week, there are only 663 “deaths involving COVID-19” in the latest weekly CDC data. 

The reduced death rate

Withdrawing Support For Trump Would Be Political Suicide For The Pro-Life Movement

Published

on

At this moment in American history, when life is on the line, when we are just under 60 days from Election Day, it is political insanity to attack Donald Trump on the pro-life issue.

Now, I am not going to imply that Lila Rose is a communist, as James Lindsay did. But to suggest that the Trump-Vance ticket does not “stand for pro-life principles,” and that pro-lifers should withhold their votes, as Lila did, is equally outrageous. In an interview with Politico published on Thursday, Lila Rose said she “would not vote for Harris or Trump” if the election were held today and said there are “other candidates” and even “write-in candidates.”

Such comments are a priceless gift to Kamala’s campaign. Expect interviews on CNN, MSNBC, and other regime media to follow as they use Rose to demonize Trump and demoralize pro-life voters into staying home on Election Day.

Everyone needs to remember that this is the pro-life president who spoke at the March for Life rally in Washington, D.C., had many pro-lifers in top positions, and pursued a host of pro-life policies at home and abroad. This is the pro-life president whose Supreme Court appointments overturned Roe v. Wade. The federal government is no longer forcing the states to allow mothers to murder their children, and 22 have partial or complete bans in place

Finally, this is the once-and-future pro-life president who is all that stands in the way of Kamala Harris. If she gets into office, she will pack the
