VIRGINIA BEACH, VA – Rep. Elaine Luria (D-VA) announced $380,628 in Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) funding today for three community and religious centers in Virginia’s Second Congressional District. The funding will be used to enhance physical security and other security-related activities for nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of a terrorist attack.
Facilitated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, NSGP provides funding support for target hardening and security and seeks to integrate the preparedness activities of nonprofit organizations with broader state and local preparedness efforts.
“Violence has no place in our society, and the rise in threats to places of worship and religious nonprofits across the country is alarming,” Rep. Luria said. “I am proud to announce more of this funding for these community and religious groups to bolster their security, protect Coastal Virginians, and allow people to safely gather.”
The Fiscal Year 2022 NSGP is one of three Department of Homeland Security grant programs that focus on enhancing the ability of state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, as well as nonprofit organizations, to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to terrorist attacks. More information on the FY 2022 NSGP can be found here.
Rep. Luria voted to advance the bipartisan Nonprofit Security Grant Program Improvement Act of 2022 in May to expand and strengthen the current program.

| Recipient | Amount |
| Jewish Family Services of Tidewater in Virginia Beach | $150,000 |

“BLM Leader: We’ll ‘Burn’ the System Down If U.S. Won’t Give Us What We Want”
by Meghan Roos
6/25/20
A leader of Black Lives Matter’s New York chapter on Wednesday said the movement was prepared to “burn down this system” if the U.S. does not work with participants to enact real change.
“If this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it,” said Hawk Newsome, chairman of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, during an interview with Fox News.
“This country is built upon violence,” Newsome said, pointing to the American Revolution and modern American diplomacy as examples.
“The moment people start destroying property, now cops can be fired automatically.”
“What is this country rewarding?”
“What behavior is it listening to?”
“Obviously not marching,” Newsome said.
Contrary to what Elaine Luria is saying about “Violence has no place in our society,” according to BlackLivesMatter, an organization that supports the Democrat Party and in turn is supported by the Democrat party, political violence is just as American as is apple pie and is a valuable tool of the BLM to get their way:

“#BlackLivesMatter activists played key role in pushing Georgia Democrats across finish line”
February 1, 2021 | By Stephanie Kulke
A survey by Northwestern researchers shows #BlackLIvesMatter activism played a decisive role in Georgia runoff election wins
The Democratic victory in the two Senate runoff elections in Georgia was a watershed moment because of the decisive role that #BlackLivesMatter activists played in pushing the Democrats across the finish line.
Northwestern University researchers conducted a survey experiment focused on how #BlackLivesMatter messages about police reform were landing on Democratic-leaning voters in Georgia during the peak of the runoff election cycle.
They found through analyses of the attitudes and behaviors of 1,072 Black and 1,063 white Georgians that willingness to vote for and donate money to now Sen. Jon Ossoff’s campaign spiked among both populations when the experimental frames in the study described him as a proponent of the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
They also found that most of the respondents were supportive of policies that would reduce police budgets and make police more accountable for misconduct against minorities.
“One of the main narratives to emerge out of the 2020 election cycle was how the progressive Democrats in the House of Representatives cost the party seats on Nov. 3 by embracing the #BlackLivesMatter movement’s ‘defund the police’ slogan and policy agenda,” said Alvin Tillery, director of Northwestern’s Center for the Study of Diversity and Democracy, which conducted the survey.
This narrative was based largely on polling data, which showed that among voters that listed the 2020 #BlackLivesMatter protests as a prime motivation for their vote, 46 percent voted for Donald Trump.
The concern led party elites like former President Barack Obama to urge progressives to shift their messaging around police reform issues.
“Fortunately for the Democrats, #BlackLivesMatter activists and their affiliated groups in Georgia ignored these specious arguments about the impact of their messaging on the party’s electoral fortunes,” said Tillery, an associate professor of political science.
“Instead, activists leaned into their messaging around police reform and other racial justice issues during the Georgia runoffs by sponsoring advertisements for the Democratic candidates through the Black Lives Matter PAC.”
Tabitha Bonilla, assistant professor of human development and social policy, said their results about Black voters should come as no surprise to anyone who had been watching the political dynamics in Georgia during the election cycle.
“Grassroots organizing, led by Stacey Abrams, Nikema Williams and scores of other Black women in the state, leaned heavily on the same core messaging about social justice that drives the #BlackLivesMatter and #SayHerName movements,” said Bonilla, also a faculty fellow with Northwestern’s Institute for Policy Research.
“Moreover, countless polls have demonstrated the enormous popularity of these movements within Black communities.”
“It is likely because Mr. Ossoff and Mr. Warnock embraced this energy and signal to the activists that they would support ‘social justice issues’ that they are serving in the United States Senate today.”
The researchers said the fact that rhetoric in support of the #BlackLivesMatter movement also boosted the support for Ossoff among white respondents is a novel finding that confirms what was revealed over America’s summer of racial reckoning after the George Floyd and Breonna Taylor killings: There is now a multiracial coalition for these powerful movements within the Democratic Party.
“Our findings should help the Democrats chart a new relationship with Black-led movements for social justice,” Tillery said.
“In short, our findings show that there should be no more derisive talk about the #BlackLivesMatter movement in Democratic Party circles.”
“Instead, the Democrats should focus on what lessons of Mr. Ossoff’s and Rev. Warnock’s victories hold for building a new multiracial coalition for social justice.
And it is interesting that Virginia’s Elaine Luria is saying “Violence has no place in our society” when she herself is a member of a virulent HATE GROUP called the JANUARY SIXTH COMMITTEE that is doing its damndest to stoke and promote political violence in this country ahead of the November midterms while the president of Ms. Luria, who during a recent campaign rally in Virginia Beach declared “thank God we elected Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,” claiming “they’ve done so many good things,” is at the same time making incredible hate-filled speeches which are also intended to stoke political violence not only ahead of the mid-terms, but on into 2024, as well.
Kind of makes her words seem empty to this LOYAL AMERICAN who is not a Democrat or Biden supporter.
Next thing we know, the Democrats will once again be unleashing the White League and Knights of the White Camellia and the Red Shirts and Dead Rabbits, all violent Democrat hate groups whose purpose was to suppress the votes of Republicans, on us who don’t drink Democrat or Biden KOOL-AID, as historically in this country, political violence has indeed been the DEMOCRAT WAY!
Opinion by PAUL PLANTE: Is Reckless and Inflammatory Hate Speech Fueling Violence?
JULY 19, 2016
Opinion by Paul Plante
As the candid world watches America being wracked by the recent cold-blooded murders of white police officers in Dallas, Texas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana for the “crime” of being white and in the uniform of a police officer, this in the wake of Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton visiting the St. Paul’s Baptist Church along with “The Mothers of the Movement” and former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder in April of 2016 where she told them that “If someone has white skin, they are a racist because of Implicit Bias, and we need community programs here in America to cure them,” I find myself going back in time to a July 8, 2015 press release of Democrat New York State Governor Andy Cuomo entitled “Governor Cuomo Signs Executive Order Appointing NYS Attorney General as Special Prosecutor in Cases Where Law Enforcement Officers Are Involved in Deaths of Civilians,” wherein was stated:
Gwen Carr, mother of Eric Garner; Constance Malcolm, mother of Ramarley Graham; Iris Baez, mother of Anthony Baez; Hawa Bah, mother of Mohamed Bah; Margarita Rosario, mother of Anthony Rosario and aunt of Hilton Vega jointly said: “For decades, our families and those of other New Yorkers killed by police have faced repeated injustices, not only losing family members to police violence by those tasked with serving and protecting but also being failed by local district attorneys not holding officers accountable to the law for those deaths.”
“Many of us have been calling for a special prosecutor for decades, so this reform stems from the legacies of New Yorkers whose unjust deaths go back a long time and the leadership of our families.”
“Today, Governor Cuomo is listening to our voices of and those of other New Yorkers who support equal justice to enact an important reform to end this conflict of interest.”
“Nothing will bring back the lives of our loved ones, and this was never simply about our families – it was about all those who come after us because we so deeply understand the pain and heartache of losing a loved one and then having their life not matter within our justice system.”
“While New York takes national leadership with this reform, there remains much work to be done to ensure our children and family members are no longer unjustly killed by police in the first place.”
“We hope to work with Governor Cuomo and other leaders in moving New York forward to build upon today’s important step to end the discriminatory and abusive policing that threatens our families and communities.”
end quote
I think about the decidedly inflammatory rhetoric in that Cuomo press release, which is decidedly biased against the police: Repeated injustices, Police violence, Unjust deaths, There remains much work to be done to ensure our children and family members are no longer unjustly killed by police, The discriminatory and abusive policing that threatens our families and communities.
Drum beats, people.
Drum beats of hatred which harken us further back in time in American history to April of 1901, when William Randolph Heart’s Journal reached a nadir in its barrage against then-President McKinley, shortly before McKinley’s second inauguration, by editorializing in favor of political assassination:
“IF BAD INSTITUTIONS AND BAD MEN CAN BE GOT RID OF ONLY BY KILLING, THEN THE KILLING MUST BE DONE.”
end quote
And so it was done.
President McKinley was assassinated by an assassin’s bullet, and American history was made.
One hundred and fourteen (114) years later, Democrat New York State Governor Andy Cuomo, said to be the keynote speaker at Hillary Clinton’s upcoming Democrat convention, a governor who has never once attended ceremonies at the Memorial to Slain Police Officers in Albany, New York, is beating the very same drum, except this, time, it is not President McKinley who should be killed, it is white police officers, instead.
And if people think that this is simply a New York state problem or issue, I would point them back to this sentence:
“While New York takes national leadership with this reform, there remains much work to be done to ensure our children and family members are no longer unjustly killed by police in the first place.”
end quote
National leadership, people, from the state where Hillary Clinton was U.S. senator.
And nine (9) months later, in April of 2016, we find Hillary Clinton herself bootstrapping off of that Cuomo press release from July 8, 2015 while visiting the St. Paul’s Baptist Church along with “The Mothers of the Movement” and former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder where she told them that “If someone has white skin, they are a racist because of Implicit Bias, and we need community programs here in America to cure them.”
If that is not irresponsible and reckless hate speech, then nothing ever will be.
And just three months after that, in July of 2016, one (1) year after the Cuomo press release which excoriated white police officers as violent murderers, the candid world watches as white police officers are gunned down, with some being shot in the back.
Cause and effect, people?
Or just coincidence?
Think it over, people.
How many more people in this country are going to die because of all this divisive and reckless and inflammatory hate speech coming at us from out of Democrat politicians like New York State’s Andy Cuomo and Hillary Clinton?
Where has rule of law gone to?
Where are the court decisions to back up any of that hate rhetoric in Democrat New York State Governor Andy Cuomo’s July 8, 2015 press release charging white police officers with “repeated injustices,” and “police violence,” and “unjust deaths,” and “discriminatory and abusive policing?”
Where are the facts to support those inflammatory charges in the press release of the man who is said to be next in line in the Democrat succession for president after Hillary Clinton has had her turn at it?
And for you people in Virginia, is the “national model” for dealing with white police put forth by Democrat New York State Governor Andy Cuomo the model you want Hillary Clinton and Democrat Virginia Governor and Clinton confidante Terence Richard “Terry” McAuliffe, an American businessman who served as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, from 2001 to 2005, and was co-chairman of President Bill Clinton’s 1996 re-election campaign, and chairman of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign. to impose on you via executive fiat as Andy Cuomo did in New York State?
