Virginia's Governor Sold Herself as a Moderate Centrist as a Candidate.<br>Surprise! In Office, She's a Radical Leftist

Virginia's Governor Sold Herself as a Moderate Centrist as a Candidate.
Surprise! In Office, She's a Radical Leftist

Karol Markowicz:

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger was sworn in just a few weeks ago, but the tornado of bad policy is already swirling around her state.
Spanberger's very first order of business was reversing Gov. Glenn Youngkin's Executive Order 47, which had allowed for coordination between the Virginia State Police and the Department of Corrections and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That coordination was important because it allowed the federal and state governments to cooperate to remove people in the country illegally who had committed additional crimes. That it was necessary for Spanberger to make it harder to deport criminals is a tell that her moderate campaign commercials will instead translate into a much further left administration.
Spanberger isn't alone in moving Virginia sharply leftward. Both branches of the state legislature are now also controlled by Democrats, and they're introducing policies that no one campaigned on. House Bill 863 would reduce minimum sentencing for rape, manslaughter and child pornography. If Spanberger ran on "let's let rapists off easy," the Virginia electorate somehow missed it. In fact, Spanberger's campaign ads highlighted her law enforcement experience and that she's a moderate who works with both sides of the political aisle.

...
Then there's House Bill 1442, which would prevent any enforcement of immigration law near polling locations. We're told it's very rare for illegal immigrants to vote in our elections and yet the Virginia legislature thinks a law like this is a high priority for the state. Why would immigration operations interfere with polling locations unless there are illegal immigrants voting at those polling locations?
...

Democrats are going to spend the next four years moving Virginia as far left as they can get away with -- unless Virginians stop them. Virginians who want to save their state have to keep pointing out that Spanberger the candidate is not Spanberger the governor, and that the state government being fully controlled by the Democratic Party is turning lawlessness and social engineering into policy. Virginia can be saved from this, before it becomes another failed blue state with residents running for the door, but they need to act quickly.

Obviously they want to tax everything. To increase affordability, they say.

Virginia Democrats are proposing a slew of new hikes, pushing to have consumers to pay up for their gym memberships, Amazon orders, leaf blowers, and over a dozen other tax hikes. All of this comes after the Democrats and Governor Abigail Spanberger ran on "affordability," a message that flies in the face of the new proposals.
The new tax bills are pushing for a tax on all of the following areas:
Higher sales taxes on all Virginia counties and cities
Personal property tax on electric leaf blowers as well as electric landscaping equipment
Large employer tax
Ammunition and firearms tax
New income tax brackets
A delivery tax, set to hit Amazon orders, FedEx and UPS orders, as well as Uber Eats in Northern Virginia
Gym membership tax
Counseling tax
New car tax and highway usage fees
Storage facility tax
Investment income tax
Event tax
Vehicle repair tax
Dry cleaning tax
Fantasy sports tax
Rideshare tax
Dog walking tax
Digital personal property tax
Increase in taxes in the Arlington area for hotels
Statewide speed camera (not a tax, but additional fines)

They have big plans for all that new money "liberated" from taxpayers: They're going to buy themselves fucking houses.

Virginia Democrat politicians propose "unlimited" grants for home purchases for the most deserving constituency of all -- Virginia Democrat bureaucrats.

While the entire country focuses on Minneapolis for the next 48 hours, Democrats in Virginia have passed a bill out of committee that allows government bureaucrats to receive unlimited taxpayer funding to buy a house.

This is their definition of delivering on Уaffordability.ФЕ pic.twitter.com/eq1lYKqS3Q

Top Official Of USAID-Linked Foreign Aid Agency To Plead Guilty To Taking Bribes
African Development Foundation CFO admits he routed money to friend's African 'pass-through' in exchange for kickbacks

By Luke Rosiak
Jan 30, 2026 DailyWire.com
Top Official Of USAID-Linked Foreign Aid Agency To Plead Guilty To Taking Bribes
Mathieu Zahui, chief financial officer of the African Development Foundation / ADF
The chief financial officer of the African Development Foundation, a federal agency affiliated with USAID, will plead guilty to steering grants and contracts in exchange for bribes.
The previously-obscure African Development Foundation became a darling of the Left when its CFO, Mathieu Zahui, locked its doors to prevent Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency from entering. Democrat politicians framed it as an act of moral courage, and left-wing media called the group "the little agency that could."
But on Friday, the Department of Justice said Zahui admitted that he was doing exactly what conservatives have suspected is common in foreign aid: Laundering money through poor nations and then back to D.C. insiders, who used it to enrich themselves.
According to court papers filed Friday, the African Development Foundation sent $800,000 to a Kenya-based company run by Zahui's friend. The friend paid Zahui a kickback of $12,000, and the company kept $134,886 for doing no work.
The rest of the money was simply a "pass-through" where the Kenyan company paid bills that the agency owed to other people. That made it appear that more money was going to African aid as opposed to bureaucratic overhead, and added a layer that concealed where the agency's money was actually going.
Zahui has agreed to plead guilty to accepting gratuities and making a false statement to a federal law enforcement officer, after he lied to the USAID Office of Inspector General about having received the kickbacks. He could face up to seven years in prison.

Today started out as a slow news day but now there are a lot of stories being leaked out for a Friday burial.

59 Virginians have only themselves to blame. Voting for a CIA spook for governor and they thought they could trust her ads? Someone from the state said it was a pocketbook election. I'll never understand how voting in Dems to destroy local business and raise taxes because "DOGE was hurting some of our fed jobs" was a pocketbook choice. It was cutting off your nose to spite your face and any fool should have known it. Sure the D's didn't run on killing regular businesses and raising taxes on everything but Ds always do those things.

Maybe they didn't "fall for it". Northern Virginia, which are the suburbs of DC, and parts of Richmond and couple of other urban areas (Newport News?) are Democrat and will vote for this. It's the same story, over and over...
"Urban" voters will vote Democrat because of ....reasons. Voters in the rest of Virginia are likely appalled by this. And a lot of it is voter turnout. Bring out your dead, and turn out your vote.

She was a good Lt. Gov! I totally agree with that, but her campaign was the definition of softcock GOPe bullshit and failed to motivate the voters in any way. Hell, even Youngkin and his people were smart enough to recognize that the schools were going to be the flashpoint issue in his election and hammer that message like Bill Clinton hammering an intern.

103 When will "independent voters" learn that there is no such thing as a moderate Democrat politician. There are only Dem politicians who lie. Think back to the votes in Congress on issues dear to the progressive wing. The Democrats vote in lockstep no matter what they said in their campaign. Wasn't there a resolution or maybe it was a bill about blocking transgenders from women's sports and all the Dems voted against it. How can anyone think there are moderate Dems?

I also think they underestimated how true believer their democrat neighbors really are on the sexual deviancy bit.

Add in the PRIDE the democrats showed in backing Jones despite the murder fantasies and perversely momentum was on team D's side partially because of the shutdown.

And VA Beach, Richmond, Hampton Roads, Norfolk all are always going to vote Demoncrat because reasons. Blacks vote Demonrat by and large. Yes, Trump has moved that needle but not here in VA or not from what I could tell.

And friends/old co-workers up in NoVA were all "Trump is evil, blah blah blah" with no proof and never reading or listening to what he was actually saying and doing. TDS and the brain rot runs deep with those types. You are never, ever going to change their mind.

Not that I was worried about killing Gaia, but tired of replacing fuel lines because of ethanol contamination in the fuel, I migrated from gas powered to buying Echo X Series Battery systems.

Kind of nice not having to futz with gasoline, oil, noise, hot engines, winterizing, etc. just slap a battery on and go do it.

Motors are MUCH quieter than two-stroke anything. But $1600 for back-pack Mexican bagpipe is pretty obscene. Then they want to slap taxes on it. And if you don't do yard maintenance, slap fines.
