Multiple examples have surfaced on social media accusing Democrat Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger of restoring the voting rights of felons and encouraging them to register for mail-in ballots — despite their having been dead for years.

The alleged scandal first came to light with a post showing a recent letter received by the family of Peter Alan Breton.

“I am pleased to inform you that Governor Abigail D. Spanberger has restored your right to vote, to become a notary public, to serve on a jury, and to hold public office,” said the letter, dated Aug. 31, from Secretary of the Commonwealth Candi Mundon King.

“Enclosed is the official grant order that will serve as documentation of Governor Spanberger’s decision,” King added. “As a reminder, all Virginians must be registered to vote in order to cast a ballot. You may register to vote online by visiting the Virginia Department of Elections’ Citizen Portal at [sic] or by scanning the QR Code.”

As an obituary noted, Breton died in 2016. “Pete was surrounded by many loved ones throughout his illness and passage,” it said.

Trump Economic Good News Ignored by Media Ahead of Midterms– www.newsbusters.org
News Source
EXCERPT:

When the networks try to drive President Trump’s approval rating as low as possible, they avoid presenting any positive news. In the first term, they routinely skipped good news. Now we’ve compiled “Five Economic Facts the Media Don’t Want You to Know” as we head into midterm elections. The good news is Not News.

In my 1996 book Pattern of Deception, I recounted how the networks aerobically denied that economic growth under George HW Bush was real, that the GDP was some kind of illusion. In our 2019 book Unmasked, we listed all the good economic news that the networks avoided. This is still happening. NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck and CNS News Managing Editor Craig Bannister analyze the good economic news.

Let’s start with this one: Trump’s 2025 tax cut bill lowered the average household’s taxes by nearly three thousand dollars. Or at least kept Trump tax cuts from expiring. The networks hate tax cuts, and routinely pretend they’re just for the wealthy, when they’re much broader than that.

Also: Inflation is lower during President Donald Trump’s second term in office than it was during the Biden Administration. But since it accumulates, the prices are still high.

Despite the war with Iran, the price of gas during Trump’s second term has never come close to its spike during Biden’s time in the White House. The average gas price in 2022 is close to the current average, and it went over $5 a gallon that year. Reporters routinely refer to “soaring” gas prices.

New York City authorities have been overlooking crime after crime by two Dominican illegal aliens whom the Biden administration released into our country. Democrats even refused to cooperate with a federal custody request. Then the illegal aliens stabbed a New York Police Department detective.

In other words, if either the Biden administration or the Adams or Mamdani administration in New York had followed the law, these two illegal aliens would not have been in our country at all; they would have been in federal custody and deported a long time ago. We do not know for certain just how many crimes in America would never have happened in the absence of Democrats’ open borders and soft-on-crime policies, but the number is no doubt high.

Sources within the Department of Homeland Security shared the information about the burglary and stabbing with Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin on Tuesday. The biggest problem right now is that the violent foreign criminals are currently on the run.

President Donald Trump has sparked controversy once again after using an anti-trans slur to attack Democratic South Carolina Senate candidate Annie Andrews.

“Annie ‘Trannie’ Andrews is running against our wonderful Darline Graham for the Senate in South Carolina,” Trump, 80, wrote via TruthSocial on Monday, October 5. “For years, my dear friend Lindsey [Graham] would say that, ‘Darline is the finest, most reliable and one of the smartest people I have ever known.’ He would then always add, ‘Also, the most loyal!’ Oftentimes I would be upset with Lindsey for saying this, because I thought I had all of those qualities.”

The commander in chief continued, “In any event, Darline is a high quality person, maybe the Highest, and Annie Trannie is not, in particular, as it pertains to representing the Values of the Great People of South Carolina.”

Trump claimed Andrews, 45, is in favor of “transgender for everyone, open borders, defunding the police, high taxes, a weak military and will absolutely fight to take your guns away” — a common attack the president uses against Democratic opponents without any evidence.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new antisemitism strategy doubles funding for a community grant program whose partners include an anti-Israel organization previously led by Linda Sarsour, while omitting Zionism and declining to adopt a definition of antisemitism.

According to City Hall’s announcement, the strategy includes $6.4 million for Partners Against the Hate, or PATH, doubling the program’s funding from the previous year. However, among PATH’s six core partners is the Arab American Association of New York, which Sarsour led for more than a decade. The organization supported the Columbia University’s violent Gaza encampment and other anti-Israel protests following October 7, according to the New York Post.

The September 29 announcement coincided with his wife’s participation in a luxury Islamic wellness retreat in Portugal organized by Women Sanctuary, which had publicly called for Israel’s abolition.

Sarsour’s relationship with Mamdani extends beyond campaigning for him. She warned that her activist network would hold him to his campaign promises, including dismantling the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group, which responds to major protests and other emergencies. “Electing Zohran doesn’t mean we’re going to let him do whatever the hell he wants when he gets to City Hall,” Sarsour said.

Sarsour has a long history of antisemitic statements, including her assertion: “Israel was built on the idea that Jews are supreme to everybody else.” Sarsour left Women’s March leadership in 2019 amid controversies over antisemitism.

When he ran for president in 2008, the junior senator from Illinois was firmly, resolutely, 100% against gay marriage. It was a religious objection, you see: “[A]s a Christian, [marriage] is also a sacred union. God’s in the mix.”

Of course, then-Sen. Barack Obama said this just a few months after the Rev. Wright “God d**n America” controversy. People forget, but that scandal put Obama’s Christian faith in the spotlight. His halo was tarnished and his momentum derailed: He lost three of the next four states to Hillary Clinton (Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia), winning only North Carolina, where black voters were one-third of the electorate.

But his 2008 opposition to gay marriage exposes how Obama thinks: Timing is everything. Don’t let your reach exceed your grasp. Dream big, but don’t act stupid.

Because he’s a realistic revolutionary. He won’t hunt what he can’t kill.

Donald Trump is a go-big-or-go-home wheeler-dealer; Barack Obama is not. Obama is calculating, incremental, and deliberate. Trump speaks at rallies extemporaneously for hours at a time; Obama relied so heavily on his teleprompter that reporters called it the TOTUS.

That’s Obama’s M.O.: Everything is planned. Each move is intentional. Nothing is accidental.

His 2008 position on gay marriage was a calculated chess move.

The American Federation of Teachers is one of the largest labor unions in the country. Do you need any more proof that our education system is captured?

According to Weingarten, “people have not committed any crimes,” referring to the very people who have broken federal immigration laws to be here. This is, again, by definition a crime. So, when she claims people being deported have not committed a crime, that is false, as the very term is “illegal alien.” But this is precisely why she calls them immigrants instead of illegal immigrants or foreign nationals, as the intent is to confuse the American people.

Donald J. Trump suggested during a campaign rally in Nebraska that allowing Iran to “take out” Los Angeles or San Diego would be an acceptable cost of the ongoing war.

While discussing the conflict, Trump described its economic impact as a “small price to pay” to keep the country safe. He then bizarrely applied that logic concerning the possibility of an attack on a major American city, telling the crowd, “They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.”

Even more disturbing was the crowd’s response: they cheered rather than recoiled. We’re used to Trump’s deranged remarks, but there’s something extremely disturbing about the idea of thousands of people enthusiastically applauding the notion that millions of their fellow Americans could be sacrificed as an acceptable “price to pay.”

Trump’s comments immediately drew condemnation from California officials. Gov. Gavin Newsom called the president “deranged and dangerous,” while Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said a president’s responsibility is to protect Americans, not threaten them or encourage attacks against them.

San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria similarly rejected the idea that his city could be treated as collateral damage, saying San Diego residents are “not expendable” and should not be considered a “small price to pay.”

Both cities overwhelmingly rejected him at the ballot box. That’s not a coincidence.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his cabinet have declared CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Antifa as terrorist groups, along with a host of others, under a new law that took effect over the summer.

From CBS News:

DeSantis, Florida Cabinet designate more than 90 groups as terrorist organizations

Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet on Tuesday voted to designate more than 90 groups as terrorist organizations, and a legal challenge is already in the works seeking to block the move.

With little comment from the state panel and no public testimony, the Cabinet voted to apply domestic or foreign terrorist designations to a series of groups, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Muslim Brotherhood and antifa.

The designations will also apply to more than 90 organizations already listed as foreign terrorist organizations by the U.S. government, including the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, two Mexican drug cartels and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Under a new law, HB 1471, that took effect July 1, CAIR filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida in Tallahassee, contending that DeSantis is violating the First Amendment and the due process clause of the 14th Amendment.

Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU National Security Project, said attorneys intend to file a motion Thursday on behalf of CAIR-Florida seeking a preliminary injunction against the designation.

“There is nowhere in that notice any allegation or evidence that CAIR has engaged in any violent or dangerous act in violation of Florida or U.S. law,” Shamsi said Tuesday outside the Cabinet meeting. “And that’s the first requirement for something as serious as this.”

BEIRUT  — America opened its “forever war” in Iraq more than 23 years ago with “Shock and Awe.” It ended it on Wednesday with little of either, even as the legacy of that conflict — which saw Iraq endure sectarian bloodbaths, civil war and an insurgency that made Baghdad the car bomb capital of the world — continues to cast its shadow on the country today.

President Trump, summing up the U.S. role in Iraq as “a very expensive excursion into Hell,” said, “This day is a victory for the United States, a victory for Iraq…. We’re getting the hell out of there.”

It was the second time U.S. forces have pulled out of Iraq. The first withdrawal took place in 2011, capping the occupation that began in 2003 and toppled Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, and which resulted in Iraqi deaths that number 110,000 to four times greater and the loss of about 4,500 U.S. service members.

But three years later, Islamic State jihadis scythed through wide swaths of Iraq, scooping up U.S.-supplied materiel — as Iraqi troops literally ran away — and seizing control of nearly a third of the country. The U.S., this time at the Iraqi government’s request, led a coalition in a campaign — named Inherent Resolve — that by 2017 had destroyed Islamic State’s caliphate and driven most of its fighters into Syria. Since then, Iraqi forces have fought Islamic State remnants engaged in a low-level insurgency around the country’s remote areas.

For the analysis, The College Fix looked at the student health center websites at 33 University of California and California State University campuses. The Fix compared the medical services they provide for pregnant students.

Three campuses, UC Santa Barbara, UC Davis, and Chico State, advertise ultrasounds available for pregnant students. However, none of the 33 campus health centers offer comprehensive prenatal care in-house, according to their websites.

At one campus, Cal State Long Beach, the Student Health Services told The College Fix via email that it “is happy to assist students in connecting with appropriate outside providers” when asked about prenatal care.

Texas Democrat U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico has called St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin home since he was two years old. It has been led for 35 years by Rev. Jim Rigby, whom Talarico calls a “mentor,” according to The Christian Post.

Undercover video obtained exclusively by Townhall shows Rigby musing about his economic philosophy — a philosophy that has undoubtedly been impressed upon Talarico for virtually the candidate’s entire life.

“I think capitalism is in death throes,” Rigby says in the video. “You’re gonna have to throw everything overboard. It’s like, that’s the next chapter of human rights. It’s like, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness is not capitalism. That every person has a right to medicine, to a livable wage, stuff. That’s not radical.”

Rigby asserts the United States is the only developed nation “that doesn’t have that stuff. And they’re calling that communism.”

“So, to me, just stop looking at the label and what is it that you want?” he continues in the video.

“Gandhi and Martin Luther King were democratic socialists. That’s the next chapter, and it’s not this horrific thing. It’s like, that’s what the rest of the civilized world calls sanity.”

Proyecto Faro, the immigrant support nonprofit out of Rockland County, New York, is funded by a mix of foundations, nonprofits, and government grants. Mainly funded by a Jewish Foundation, The Harry Donenfeld Foundation, named for the Jewish immigrant who co-founded DC Comics.

Another major donor is The Gitlin Family Foundation which is also Jewish-led. The Freedom Together Foundation, another major donor was founded in 2012 by Barbara Picower as the JPB Foundation, renamed Freedom Together in 2024.

The money came from her late husband Jeffry Picower’s estate, he was Jewish, and their earlier Picower Foundation gave to other Jewish causes.

ADRA stand for the Adventist Development and Relief Agency, its the humanitarian arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, a “Christian” denomination.

Its biggest funder is the U.S. government, mainly USAID, which has given it roughly three hundred eighty-five million dollars across over a hundred awards. in August 2026 ADRA was named a partner in the State Department’s new Faith and Community Initiative.

Their last report clarifies they were given at least 36 million US dollars by the end of 2025… more to come.

Democratic socialist versus MAGA Republican—it’s a war of two extremes equally likely to turn off voters, right?

Not remotely, the data suggests. And that may have big implications this year.

The latest YouGov/Economist poll ran an experiment that asked voters to pick between pairs of hypothetical candidates. When asked to choose between a “Democratic socialist who supports Medicare for All, ending military aid to Israel, and abolishing ICE” and a “MAGA Republican who supports mass deportations and always votes with Trump,” 51% of registered voters went for the socialist, while only 34% picked the MAGA Republican. The remaining 15% were unsure.

Notably, this figure did not change much when the hypothetical socialist candidate was swapped for a “Liberal Democrat who wants to protect Obamacare (ACA), increase support for child care and housing, and opposes tariffs.” Fifty-five percent backed the liberal Democrat, and an identical 34% supported the MAGA Republican.

They’ve researched history and the law, war-gamed what-ifs, divvied up responsibilities and drafted emergency lawsuits and temporary restraining orders so they can be hurried into court at a moment’s notice.
