It begins. Democrats in Virginia have been in power for barely a month and they are already pushing sweeping new gun control laws.

To make matters worse, they are doing this at a time when the country has seen four terrorist attacks on the homeland in the span of just two weeks. God forbid the American people are able to defend themselves from all of the potential terrorists that Democrats imported into the country on Joe Biden’s watch.

This is all about control.

Virginia Dems send sweeping gun ban to Spanberger as West Virginia weighs expanding machine-gun access

Virginia Democrats have sent a sweeping gun-control package to Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s desk, while West Virginia lawmakers are debating the opposite approach — a proposal that would allow residents to lawfully obtain machine guns.

The dueling efforts highlight how sharply gun policy is diverging across the old Virginia border. More than 160 years after West Virginia split from Virginia during the Civil War, the two states are again charting very different political paths — with Democrats in Richmond advancing new firearm restrictions while Republicans in Charleston explore expanding Second Amendment rights.

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger signaled she looks forward to “reviewing” the sweeping firearms ban from state Sen. Saddam Salim, D-Dunn Loring, when it reaches her desk next week.

“As the mother of three daughters in Virginia public schools and a former federal law enforcement officer who carried a gun every day, Governor Spanberger knows how important it is to make sure kids and families are safe,” Spanberger’s office said in a statement to Richmond’s ABC affiliate.

“The governor is grateful for the efforts of legislators and advocates to address gun violence in Virginia communities, and she looks forward to reviewing all legislation that comes to her desk.”

Some pro-gun activists in the state have responded by handing out free AR-15 magazines.

Spanberger and other members of her party ran as centrists on the issue of affordability. The minute they took power they revealed themselves to be the leftists that they actually are.

It will be fascinating to see how long it takes for the people of Virginia to realize they were duped by these frauds.

The liberal media uses terms like ‘Republicans seize’ and ‘Republicans pounce’ so often that they have become a running gag among conservatives.

In this case, the liberal Washington Post is complaining because Republicans are ‘painting’ James Talarico as a radical. Talarico is the left wing nut who Democrats have nominated for a U.S. Senate seat in Texas.

All Republicans are doing is sharing videos of Talarico speaking in his own words. It is not the fault of conservatives that Talarico believes that God is nonbinary or that displaying the Ten Commandments in schools is violence. These are his positions in his words.

Quoting his own words is painting him as a radical? Whatever.

From the Washington Post:

GOP, fearing tough fight for Texas Senate seat, paints Democrat as radical

Fearing a tougher-than-expected race for one of Texas’s two Senate seats, Republicans are trying to cast Democratic candidate James Talarico as a radical leftist out of step with voters.

They have resurfaced videos of Talarico’s past comments, including one in which the state representative declares that “God is nonbinary.” His two potential GOP opponents — who are headed to a bitter runoff in May — have shared sound bites of Talarico speaking on border security and attacked him for supporting trans rights.

National Republicans ratcheted up their attacks this week with a digital ad that shows an artificial-intelligence-generated Talarico reading similar, years-old social media posts about pronouns and “radicalized white men.”

The torrent of videos Republicans are resurfacing across social media points to how they will try to erode that image and paint Talarico as something very different: a liberal wolf in Christian sheep’s clothing.

“James Talarico thinks ‘God is nonbinary’ and wants to lay a welcome mat on our southern border,” said Samantha Cantrell, a spokeswoman for Senate Republicans’ campaign arm, which made the AI-generated ad and has shared other video clips. “He is radically out of touch with Texans, and they will not vote for this in November.”

Talarico has not directly addressed his past comments but instead said the attacks are part of a well-worn Republican playbook.

James Talarico said in an interview that he loves trans kids. Is that Republicans painting him as radical or is he doing that all on his own?

Talarico is a total wingnut and he has painted himself that way. He needs no assistance from Republicans.

Actor and musician Luke Grimes, one of the stars of the hit series ‘Yellowstone’ decided to move to the state of Montana after filming some scenes for the show there.

During a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, Grimes revealed that locals in Montana are not happy about the idea of people moving there from liberal California.

This is something we saw happening during Covid-19. Blue states were shutting down completely, so liberals from places like California started moving to red states like Idaho and Montana because they wanted more freedom, but the people who have lived in those states all along did not want the blue state refugees.

It’s completely understandable. Conservatives living in Montana know that California liberals are going to bring their voting habits with them.

FOX News reports:

Luke Grimes, best known for his role as Kayce Dutton in “Yellowstone” and its spinoff, “Marshals,” is facing unexpected backlash after leaving Hollywood behind for life in Montana.

The actor told Joe Rogan that moving to the Big Sky State hasn’t always been smooth sailing, and his move from Los Angeles has sparked unexpected fury among locals.

“Well, your show made a lot of f—ing people move out there, though,” Rogan pointed out during his podcast.

“That’s true. Yeah. And they’re not happy about it,” Grimes admitted. “The valley that I live in, we had some people come visit us. Our friends from California drove out, and we went on a hike, and we were in their car. And they had, you know, Cali plates.

“We get off the hike, and someone had written ‘go back’ in the dust on their car. Like, people are super weird about it, so I don’t tell anyone exactly where I’m at because they would get really mad at me.”…

“I can’t go to bars there anymore because whatever that one idiot is, is at the bar, and he can’t wait to start a fight with me. Just like can’t wait to do it because it’s like a win-win for him, you know? He gets to sue me or something. I don’t know, but it’s a lose-lose for me,” Grimes said.

This video is cued to start at the 36:32 mark, so just press play:

It doesn’t take much to flip a state over time. New Hampshire was a red state back in the day. In the 1980s, people in Massachusetts started moving there to get away from high taxes. Now New Hampshire is a blue state.

Former CNN host Don Lemon was recently speaking at an event where he suggested that CNN should not even bother trying to be more centrist because people on the right will never watch a ‘factual news organization.’

Every once in a while people like Lemon reveal just how utterly delusional they really are. It is amazing that he was able to say this with a straight face.

Calling CNN factual is like calling MSNOW conservative. It’s just a straight-up denial of reality.

The only person on CNN who ever tells the truth is Scott Jennings, and if he had his own show in primetime, there are people on the right who would watch it. In fact, it’d probably be their top rated show.

Mediaite has details:

Ex-CNN star Don Lemon said soon-to-be CNN owner David Ellison is crazy to believe the cable news channel can win more viewers by covering stories from a centrist or right-of-center viewpoint, with Lemon saying MAGA voters are not interested in watching a “factual news network.”

He shared his take on CNN’s parent company Warner Bros. Discovery being bought by Paramount Skydance and what it means for his old channel during an interview with Bulwark podcast host Tim Miller on Saturday. The interview was part of the fifth annual New Orleans Book Festival at Tulane University.

Lemon said he was talking to frequent CNN guest and Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary recently about CNN changing its slant. O’Leary said CNN needs to “come to the middle” to win viewers, according to Lemon — and Lemon let him know that idea is foolish.

“You’re out of your mind, that’s never going to happen, are you crazy?” he said. “Those folks are never ever going to watch CNN and they’re never going to watch any network that’s a factual news network.”

Here’s the video:

Don Lemon: Making CNN less lefty won’t work, because the viewers they’d be trying to get aren’t interested in facts.

“Those folks are never going to watch any network that is a factual news organization.”

This was said today. After the week CNN had.

Like so many people on the left, Don Lemon is simply not operating in reality. He lives in a fantasy world where CNN is factual and balanced, all Republicans are fascists, and Democrats believe in fairness. None of it is true except in Don’s little mind.

During a panel this week on CNN’s News Night with Abby Phillips, Federalist reporter Brianna Lyman destroyed former Biden advisor and Democratic political consultant Neera Tanden by fact-checking her with CNN’s own reporting on support for the SAVE America Act and voter ID requirements. 

By the end of the exchange, even left-wing host Abby Phillips agreed with Lyman that the SAVE Act is a common sense bill.

Lyman said the SAVE America Act is an 80-20 issue, but Tanden fired back, claiming that “60 percent of people are opposed to it,” and the legislation would require “people to have passports or their birth certificates.” Even if it were true, this is a reasonable requirement for proving you are a citizen of the United States.

Under the bill, at least five forms of identification are accepted as documentary proof of citizenship, including a driver’s license.

Lyman responded to Tande’s claims, citing a 2024 Gallup poll that showed 83% of Americans, including two-thirds of Democrats, support voter ID.

CNN has even reported on this polling, with Jake Tapper calling Schumer out on CNN last month, noting that “83% of the American people, including a majority of Democrats, support voter ID laws.”

But Tanden bizarrely replied, “The SAVE Act is not voter ID. That’s my point,” sparking a back-and-forth in which Lyman noted that it is extremely easy to obtain one’s birth certificate. “It takes about 10 minutes. You could request your birth certificate. They mail it to you,” said Lyman. “The next question becomes lots of poll tax. I think Republicans should come up with a compromise and say we will give you a tax rebate if you paid for that.”

Abby Phillips then chimed in, calling a tax rebate a “good compromise” for the SAVE America Act. Still, it with or without a tax rebate, there is no excuse for a person to have an ID, which is necessary to buy alcohol and tobacco, drive a car, and board flights in the US. The supposed “poll tax” concern is just another BS excuse to oppose free and fair elections.

Tanden continued trying to talk over Lyman, arguing that people shouldn’t have to get their birth certificates. “First of all, you’re making it seem like everybody’s missing their birth certificate. That’s not true,” Lyman responded to the bogus argument.

WATCH:

Lyman: This is legislation that is extremely popular. It’s an 80-20 issue for Republicans, Democrats, independents, and it’s common sense election integrity.

Tanden: Actually, it’s not an 80-20 issue when you actually described the SAVE Act, which requires people to have passports or their birth certificates. 60 percent of people are opposed to it.

Lyman: As for this not being an 80-20 issue, that’s incorrect. A 2024 Gallup poll, 84 percent of adults favor photo ID, 83 percent favor documentary proof of citizenship to register. That’s 66 percent of Democrats, 84 percent of independents, 96 percent of GOP. A 2025 August poll, 83 percent of adults favor voter ID. Also, you talked about —

Tanden: The SAVE Act is not voter ID. That’s my point.

Lyman: It is voter ID and documentary proof of citizenship, which Gallup poll literally scored. Second of all, you mentioned birth records. There is a thing called vital check, which 45 states have. The other five states require you to go through their own state databases. And you could – it takes about 10 minutes. You could request your birth certificate. They mail it to you. The next question becomes lots of poll tax. I think Republicans should come up with a compromise and say we will give you a tax rebate if you paid for that.

(CROSSTALK)

Lyman: First of all you’re making it seem like everybody’s missing their birth certificate. That’s not true. Last but not least, when it comes to women —

Phillip: That’s a good compromise. I mean, look, I do think that attempts to actually address concerns about this legislation would be useful here.
