After a dominant performance in the debate with challenger Terry McAuliffe, Republican candidate for governor Glen Youngkin came down to the Eastern Shore on Wednesday to meet local constituents and other Republicans running for office. Youngkin began with a rally on Chincoteague, then onto the Elks Lodge in Accomac for a lunch with Delegate Rob Bloxom.
Youngkin traveled to Northampton for a rally, where he was joined at the Elks Lodge by State Senator Jen Kiggans who will be challenging Democratic Representative Elaine Luria in the congressional election in 2022.
At the Northampton rally, Youngkin also met with local Northampton Candidate Rob Stubbs who is hoping to provide new leadership for District 1.

Remember
It’s not about voting party lines
It’s about voting for the person(s) most qualified. This country starting at a local level need to return to bi partisan leadership.Those who represent the constituents not the party line .
Stuart Bell says
I guess you are ready to stand in front of a Dominion Voting Machine again ? Ready for a ‘fair’ election are you?
You are a Damned Fool!
Blue Hoss says
Unfortunately, the liberal and the cnservative are two sides of the same worthless coin. What this country needs is to get back to the constitution and it’s authors. We are not living in the counrty they planned for us.
Sorin Varzaru says
Of course you would prefer if the black folks where still 3/5th of a person and women were essentially property of their fathers/husbands.
Blue Hoss says
Sure, even you would have been for sale back then…if only indentured for your passage to our country or shaghaied, once here, on a skipjack.
Sorin Varzaru says
Not surprised to find racists/chauvinists in the conservative crowd.
Paul Plante says
Personally, Sorin, I think those accusations there are pure HORSE****.
Paul Plante says
Yeah, right, Sorin – you’ve been reading far too much Howard Zinn.
This is the real history of women in America and wouldn’t it be just grand if she could have caught ahold of you:
History of the Mohawk Valley: Gateway to the West 1614-1925
Chapter 34: Early days of the Schoharie settlement — 1712-1723.
“After the Seven Partners secured their title to the Schoharie flats, they called on the Germans who dwelt upon them, either to take lease of, to purchase, or to quit them altogether.”
“To neither of these terms would they accede, declaring that Queen Anne had given them the lands and that they desired no better title.”
When the Seven Partners of Albany found that the Schoharie Germans would not pay any attention to their demands that they lease or purchase the lands they occupied, they sent Sheriff Adams of Albany to arrest some of the “trespassers” — for the Palatine pioneers were squatters in the eyes of the law.
Adams first stopped at Weiser’s dorf.
Here he was set upon by a mob led by a woman named Magdalene Zeh.
She knocked Adams down by a blow from her fist.
Then he was ridden on a rail through the settlements to a point on a bridge over Mill Creek, about seven miles from the starting point of the mob.
Here Adams was thrown to the ground and the Zeh woman beat the official with a stake, breaking two of his ribs and blinding one of his eyes.
After committing some unspeakable indecencies on the unconscious sheriff, the woman led her mob of Germans home, leaving their victim supposedly dead on the highway.

As I say, Sorin, you have read far too much Howard Zinn and not enough about the real reality in the US before you came here and the character of American women, as opposed to Rumanian women who complain of being kept barefoot and pregnant by the Legionaires in Rumania:
From Jeptha R. Simms, author of “HISTORY of SCHOHARIE COUNTY, and BORDER WARS OF NEW YORK; containing also A Sketch of the Causes which led to the American Revolution; and Interesting Memoranda of the Mohawk Valley; together with Much Other Historical and Miscellaneous Matter, Never Before Published,” in 1845:
As may be supposed, the most intense anxiety was felt at the Upper, while the firing continued at the Middle fort; and soon after it began, Capt. Hager gave orders that in case the enemy appeared before that fort, the women and children should go into a long cellar under the Feeck house.
While preparations were in progress to resist an attack should it be made, Mary Haggidorn, a buxom lass of goodly proportions, who partook of the spirit which animated her brothers, and who had heard the cellar order with other feelings than those inspired by fear, stepped up to the commandant and thus addressed him: “Captain, I shall not go into that cellar!”
“Should the enemy come I will take a spear, which I can use as well as any man, and help defend the fort.”
Capt. Hager was gratified to find a soldier where he little expected one, and admiring her fearless spirit, he replied, “Then take a spear, Mary, and be ready at the pickets to repel an attack!”
She did take a spear, nor was it discarded until the danger was past.

If she ever got ahold of you, Sorin, she would kick your ass up and down the street several times and then dribble you like a basketball for a while for insulting the character of American women.
Jill says
I would like to note that Jen Kiggans will need to win a primary in June, 2022 and be selected as the candidate to run against Elaine Luria. I would encourage our district to make an informed decision. Tommy Altman will also be running in the Republican primary in June, 2022. If you want to know more about Tommy, please go to tommy4va.com.

Who in their right mind would go and stand in front of a Dominion voting machine, running smartech software and trust that their voting process is going to be fair?
A Damned Fool, that is who.
Paul Plante says
And talk about the concept of ETHICS flying right out the window along with RULE OF LAW by the autocratic government of Joe Biden, this just in off the wires as Joe has his press secretary Jen using her official position as Joe’s propaganda spewer to politic for Terry McAuliffe as Virginia’s next governor, to wit:
CNBC
“Biden press secretary Jen Psaki may have violated ethics law with comment on Virginia race, watchdog says”
Kevin Breuninger
October 15, 2021
White House press secretary Jen Psaki may have violated a law barring executive branch employees from partisan politicking, a government ethics watchdog said Friday.
Psaki made the alleged violation a day earlier during a press briefing, when she affirmed President Joe Biden’s support for Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, according to a complaint filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
“I have to be a little careful about how much political analysis I do from here,” Psaki said before noting that Biden “of course” wants McAuliffe “to be the future governor of Virginia.”
“We’re going to do everything we can to help” McAuliffe, Psaki said, “and we believe in the agenda he’s representing.”
The complaint, filed to Henry Kerner of the Office of Special Counsel, alleged Psaki appeared to violate the Hatch Act by “impermissibly mixing official government business with advocacy for former Governor McAuliffe’s election.”
Her remarks were made in her official capacity and they were aimed at a preferred outcome in a partisan political election, the complaint said.
The complaint called on Kerner to investigate and take “any appropriate disciplinary action” against Psaki.
“While the President has publicly expressed his support for McAuliffe, we’ll leave it to the press and the campaign to provide commentary on the race,” Psaki told CNBC in an email.
“I take ethics very seriously and will choose my words more carefully moving forward,” she said.
