Glenn Youngkin and Company Start Things off by Going Scorched Earth in Virginia

HIS PLAN: TAX CUTS, NO MASK MANDATES, PRO-POLICE AGENDA, NO CRT

 

Glenn Youngkin, Winsome Sears, and Jason Miyares will be sworn in today, marking a sea-change of leadership in Virginia. More importantly, because actions ultimately matter, the three Republicans are already looking to take big steps toward fixing the mess left behind by Democrat Ralph Northam’s administration.

On his first day in office, Youngkin is going to sign an order to eliminate the state-wide mask mandate for children in schools. That’s in response to the overwhelming amount of data that masks in schools have been one of the most useless, asinine policies of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

That move is already drawing backlash from the left, which is the surest sign that Youngkin could receive that he’s doing the right thing. There is no reason to continue muzzling kids, harming the learning environment, when masks are largely ineffective anyway and vaccines are readily available for teachers. Certainly, doubling down by attempting to move children to N95s, which require professional fitment and rigorous sanitization to have any real efficacy, would have been insane.

Further, Youngkin also announced the hiring of outspoken anti-CRT voice Jillian Balow as Education Superintendent, which will hopefully help to rein in the state’s rogue school boards. Clearly, things aren’t going the way Larry Hogan’s administration went in Maryland.

History-making Winsome Earle-Sears hopes to help lift kids out of poverty through education

RICHMOND, Va. -- When Winsome Earle-Sears is sworn in as Virginia's next Lieutenant Governor, she will be the first woman, and the first woman of color, to ever assume the role.

But, she said she does not dwell on it.

"I didn't run to be the first anything. I knew that was a possibility, I just wanted to help," Earle-Sears said.

Earle-Sears, who went by Winsome Sears during the race on the advice of advisors, said she is returning to her hyphenated last name, which includes her maiden name, Earle.

But it’s his announcement that the state itself will prosecute crimes local DAs won’t that represents the largest shift in Virginia. That includes Democrat bastions like Richmond and Alexandria. Every single Republican AG across the nation should be doing the same thing; it’s the only way to fight back against the push to “reform” the criminal justice system, not in ways that make sense, but by simply not policing crime and hurting communities.

 

Can I have and "AMEN!"?
