Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Credibly Accused Rapist and Former Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax Murders Wife, Shoots Self in Murder-SuicideYou probably remember the name but may have some trouble remembering the details. Back during BlackFaceGate, where they totally not-racist Democrat Governor Ralph Northam turned out to have worn black face multiple times in college -- and then his totally not-racist AG was revealed to have done so as well -- there was no push for Northam to resign in favor of his Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax because, get this, multiple women came forward accusing Fairfax of having raped them during his college years and then in his early adulthood. Because this was a Democrat, #BelieveAllWomen did not apply, and there was no pressure for Fairfax to resign. Nor was there any pressure for the blackface-wearing governor and AG to resign. See, it's (D)ifferent. Well, it turns out that Justin Fairfax wasn't just a rapist, but an incipient murderer.WASHINGTON -- Embattled former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax killed his estranged wife and himself inside their million-dollar home outside the nation's capital early Thursday, cops said. The 47-year-old Democrat repeatedly shot Cerina Fairfax in the basement of their Annandale residence just after midnight before turning the gun on himself in another part of the abode, according to Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis. The couple's two teenage children were inside the home at the time of the murder-suicide, and their son called 911 to report the shootings.Obviously the chief of police in this ultra-blue county is a Democrat, because you usually don't say that a repeat rapist really had it going on. But again, it's (D)ifferent. Psychopathic monster. And this was a high-ranking Democrat Party official. ... Four years later, Fairfax was elected lieutenant governor to Ralph Northam, but his own ambitions for higher office were derailed in 2019 after multiple women came forward to accuse him of sexual assault. ... "This has been an ongoing domestic dispute surrounding what seems to be a complicated or messy divorce," Davis said. ...Huh. We didn't hear anything about that. Again, it's (D)ifferent. ... At least two women publicly accused Fairfax of sexually assaulting them in 2000 and 2004. Vanessa Tyson, an associate professor at Scripps College and fellow at Stanford University, accused Fairfax of raping her at a hotel during the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston. Fairfax denied the accusation, saying the encounter was consensual. Then a second woman, Meredith Watson, came forward to claim Fairfax raped her in a "premeditated and aggressive" attack in 2000 while they were both at Duke.The Democrat Party is the party of psychopaths, rapists, and killers. It must be purged, Baath-style. There's something conservatives say which I'm sick of: "We think the Democrats are wrong, while they think we're evil." This is supposed to make us sound reasonable and grown-up. It's stupid and it's a lie -- they are evil. And I'm tired of the soft-heads who say otherwise. They just don't have bad policies -- they have bad brains. They have bad morals, bad psychologies, bad motives, and plenty of bad faith. They're bad people. Yes of course there are those who are simply deluded and brainwashed, but the party -- especially at its operator levels -- is all about malice and greed. If you read Marx, what you instantly realize is that he has built a "politics" out of his deep character flaw (and possibly mental illness). That psychological problem is malicious envy. He sees something he wants, but cannot achieve, so he invents a philosophy of Gimme Gimme to explain why the power of the state should be used to take the thing he wants from its owner and give it to him. The entire Democrat Party is based on envy and people who think they "deserve." They're generally not smart nor productive, but they "deserve" top-paying jobs and of course enormous respect and social status. They're unattractive and unappealing, but they deserve the absolute highest quality mates and free sex on demand. Many, like Eric Swalwell, will resort to rape when the "deserving" they feel about women's affections goes unfulfilled. And they construct psychopath-level manipulations to demonstrate to you that they are morally entitled to use state coercion to take what you have -- "expropriate" -- and appropriate it for themselves. James Lindsey calls "critical theories" "cynical theories," because "critical theory" is nothing but a cynical, self-interested, greedy, envious, spiteful attempt to manipulate you into accepting that what you have actually, rightfully belongs to them. Say that's a nice house, Madam. But you built on "stolen land" so I should have your house. Yes, I'm 1/1028th Cherokee, my "family lore" says, but even if I weren't, I have the moral perfection to properly cherish this Stolen Land and do honor to the tribes you stole it from by "living in harmony" with the salon and master bedroom. It's just gimme, gimme, gimme all the way down. Low-quality people spamming out ridiculous manipulations to seize all the high-quality jobs and goods. It is an artificial caste system created to privilege the psychopaths over their marks and victims. It is, as a Rick and Morty joke said, just slavery with extra steps. Hello! Despite my current disgust, it's a great day. I have made the first (I hope) step towards achieving a dream: Befriending a crow. A crow landed on my deck (near my well-varnished desk) and quickly scrambled to find some old cereal to feed him. He didn't fly off even when I had opened the door and was tossing food around. He just ate with me a few steps away. I've now tossed out some keto bread -- I don't think that will hurt a bird, because keto bread is made mostly of bullshit and self-delusion (it's just fucking bread; the increased price is a tax on stupidity) -- and am waiting, hoping he will return to eat more. So that's pretty good, isn't it? I typed in "how to befriend" and Google auto-completed "a crow." That kind of indicates the system is spying on me, doesn't it? (Or maybe I've just typed that in before.) Befriending a crow requires patience, consistency, and high-value treats to build trust. Start by consistently offering raw, unsalted peanuts, dry dog food, or suet in the same spot daily. Keep a calm demeanor, avoid direct eye contact or sudden movements, and allow them to approach you on their own terms.Ordering unsalted peanuts now, Cap'n! Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Fairfax was the East Coast Swalwell before Swalwell. Seeing what happened to Swalwell this week, and Fairfax's wife filing more papers in their divorce (probably over his fraud on the DV complaint) meant he was losing everything...and possibly even looking at jail for the fake complaint. And amoral people who lose everything are dangerous.
As I mentioned last thread, Mrs Swalwell (and Mrs Delgado if there is one) should be walking with the kids right about now. Posted by: Nova Local at April 16, 2026 12:17 PM (tOcjL) 15

Daily, on TV, in clear and unequivocable language, the Democrats are reenacting the Al Capone scene, "I want him DEAD! I want his family DEAD!" as they discuss Republicans, Trump and his administration.
Too many conservative voters hear and see this and say, "ah, they don't really mean it." Even when the Dems say, "No, I fucking mean it!" And over in the House and Senate, they hear all this and say, "I'm sure we can reach a common ground, a reasonable compromise, come together for the good of the country."

So, they push out the smart people and replace them with dumber people than them to feel superior. This degrades the overall machine, but entrenched political machines have a lot of ruin in them.

I've never had a problem with crows, but some of the birds can get mighty aggressive at certain times. I remember a sign in Japan saying 'Watch out for stooping Kites'. I kind of laughed it off (did not see any bird attacks on the trip.)

Crows may nibble around the edges. You really need to befriend a flock of turkey vultures to get rid of a body. Had a deer drop dead in our yard. Vultures had that carcass cleaned tout suite.
Posted by: Heavy Meta at April 16, 2026 12:33 PM (NgqoH) I'm in a former rural area turned suburb and we have loads of carrion birds around here. Dead squirrels, armadillos, possums, raccoons, you name it they're on it chowing down. It's a little creepy sometimes. You'll drive down the street and a whole flock of those things will be perched on all the rails of a split-rail fence, a literal wall-o-vultures just watching, waiting, salivating.

147 I've been feeding the crows for about 5 years now and it's true they can be noisy when they want food. In the grand scheme of things having wild animals interact with you far out weights the sometimes loud cawing.

I don't think it is "just" crows that will return for food. We have two, maybe three Blue jays that return daily to where we feed the cats on our porch. They'll perch on one of the chairs and squawk. Now... I'll go outside and they'll take off, but not go far. And if I put the cat food down, they'll come right back.

I am a peanut dealer for my local flock of crows. If I see them out and about I'll do the special "peanuts available" whistle to summon them. Sometimes they find me to tell me about Imminent Crow Starvation and sometimes I humor them. Most recently a junior crow, who I think is setting up his nest for the first time, has started sitting on my garage roof (which I can see from my office window) and showing off the absolutely perfect sticks he's found. Usually three times longer than him. He turns his head several times for me to fully admire the glory before flying off to delight the missus. Crows are funny.

years ago, my boss and her husband were divorcing (amicably enough) and they asked me to be a witness to the fact that they had fulfilled their year apart, as I was also a friend to both and a frequent guest at the house.
He was sometimes present during the year, as they owned several small businesses together which necessitated him being in town for shared business action on occasion, before the division of property. I was asked a lot of questions on the stand as to whether I ever saw anything in the home, such as a toothbrush or shaving equipment in the bathroom, that could indicate that he was present in a more intimate capacity.

Ace, I can absolutely confirm that dry dog food kibble is the best treat to lure crows to your deck and befriend you. In the past, I hd a similar expeirence to you with the friendly crow, also read recommendations, and tried ot dog food -- and they loved it.
HOWEVER, note these important provisos: Some dog fopd kibble has piece that are TOO BIG fr crows to eat, so I discovered a clever workarnd 1. Buy PUPPY chow, not dog chow. Puppy chow has smaller pieces, which crows like better. 2. The puppy chpw might also attract other unwanted vermin, so figure out a way to keep it contained and not be spread all over the place. 3. Beware that crows poop a lot, and their poops are big, so while they're standing around on your deck waiting for puppy chow, they will leave droppings that you will have to later clean up. That's the reality of wild animals -- they just poo where they stand. Peanuts can work good too, but in my experience the peanuts attracted other birds too (mostly bluejays), which ended up scaring the crows off. So I ended up avoiding peanuts for crow-luring. Good luck! Posted by: zombie at April 16, 2026 12:53 PM (Av6i5) 261

After leaving the Navy, I was unemployed for a bit and had very little to do to pass the time. I lived in an apartment complex with a ton of oak trees. Squirrels everywhere.
One day, I tossed a still-in-the-shell peanut out on the deck and waited. Within just a few minutes, a squirrel came by, snatched it and scampered off. Did that a few times then got bored. Grabbed a needle and thread from the wife's sewing table, lashed two peanuts together and tossed it out on the deck. Gone in 60 seconds. Stitched three peanuts together and tossed that out. Gone. Kept doing that, adding one peanut at a time to the 'train' before tossing it out on the deck. I got up to well over a dozen peanuts stitched together. It was funny watching the squirrel run off with the peanut train in its mouth. Eventually, I got bored with that too and took a nap on the sofa. When I woke up and looked out onto the deck, I saw the squirrel sitting there with its nose pressed up against the glass. I laughed and closed the blinds.

Fairfax and his wife were going through a messy divorce but still living together? Yea, that's a recipe for disaster.
It used to be a requirement in "no fault" divorces that the couple formally separate and live separate lives for a year (or six months). Courts took the requirement seriously. In some cases (mostly due to finances), the couple would live "separate" but in the same house. That was almost always a disaster. The current trend is to allow "no fault" divorce based just on a statement that the marriage is dead. The idea is to get these people apart and end the marriage as quickly as possible.

apparently, crowns have a single pinion feather in their wing while grackle have 2 pinion feathers.
so the difference is a matter ofapinion.... === Grackles are horrifying if you have a swimming pool. They are crazy about keeping the nest clean when the chicks hatch. They eat the baby bird poop, then fly to the nearest body of still water and vomit the poop into the water. If you open your pool early in an area with a lot of grackles be prepared for a digusting mess. Don't ask me how I know. . .

Someone has probably already mentioned it, but back in the Northam days, if he resigned, the AG would have to resign for the same reason, and then there would be Fairfax, who would also have to resign, leaving the next in line for the governor the leader in the state senate, who happened to be Republican.

The current trend is to allow "no fault" divorce based just on a statement that the marriage is dead. The idea is to get these people apart and end the marriage as quickly as possible.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at April 16, 2026 01:04 PM My ex tried to do a standoff on the house when I finally got the guts to leave, and of course he made it as awful as humanly possible. He didn’t want to be considered as having abandoned the property - but it was obviously untenable for me to stay, so I left and he immediately filed saying I abandoned it. We proved I had to leave it because he was….him. And his parting gift to me was punching me in the side of the face while I held my little one. We ran, leaving everything behind. She didn’t even have shoes on. He immediately stopped paying the mortgage and let it go into foreclosure despite the court order he had to pay. Posted by: Piper at April 16, 2026 01:11 PM (Wmg4n) _______ He sounds nice. The current trend is also to eliminate these kind of "home abandonment" claims because they invite this kind of gamesmanship and potential violence.

Put a gun to her head at least once, after putting a hole in the wall with said gun, they later said he was joking and the gun wasn't loaded. Yeah, right. Later, didn't want to work things out peacefully, causing the house to be sold and the money to go to lawyers. He decided not to pay child support and got his wages garnished.

The left is like a mafia. A number of families with soldiers, bosses and dons. I put Obama in the boss category but he is definitely being controlled by a don or dons. He didn't just roll into DC and in a couple years not only become POTUS but seemingly had immense power of the deep state. We all suspected it before but all the evidence is now pouring out that numerous people in and out of government have been working against Trump and us for years.

Tips on crows.
Crows fucking love peanuts Shelled if other birds are a problem. Lightly salted is OK if you rub off the salt. I keep in freezer until needed. Don't respond to calls. That will train them to make noise. I only feed in winter when other foods are scarce. If I see them, I will call them, and throw some nuts in same spot and they understand.

I use a net on the cherry trees. I also bag every grape on the vine, but last year I think they figured out that they can tear the bag (first paper, but also some of the net bags!) I printed up photos to put on the wall under the eves so to scare them. Cats, Trump, Gary Cooper .... but the grapes were already all gone so I never tested.

Was up at 4 the other day because i had too much water at bedtime; was having very gloomy thoughts about my life; about this country where we have one main political party that is literally pandering to criminals. It is made up of criminals. California is passing laws to keep fraud from being investigated. Minnesota has the literal AG and Governor encouraging fraud to shiftless pirates.
Yeah, I agree with Ace. The Democrats are a criminal enterprise. They're not even hiding it. And I honestly don't know why i'm still here. (Earth; not this comment section; i actually like this place) Posted by: Nelly at April 16, 2026 01:22 PM (6+ehB) 436
It's not a coincidence that the fight with the Pope happened right after David Axelrod's private meeting with the Pope. == Nor a coincidence that 3 liberal cardinals one from Chicago, went on 60 minutes shortly after the Axelrod visit. it is an op. Trump knew it was coming. 60 minutes isn't on a same day schedule. They know what they are doing at least a month in advance. Not to mention that coordinating 3 cardinals at the same place at the same time isn't something that happens that morning. Sad.

Politics in general attracts delusional narcissists, much like you'd have to be at least a little bit nutty to go into show business. But Democrats channel their delusion through a mindset of permanent revolution; theirs isn't just a narcissistic disorder, it's messianic and therefore much, much more destructive. It's why e.g. mutilating children in and out of the womb isn't merely not anathema but celebrated and sanctified, because parenthood must be destroyed to further the revolution.
