Former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, who is now running for governor again for some reason, just gave America an excellent reminder that when it comes to big lies: some are accepted, and some are not. McAuliffe recently smeared his Republican opponent Glenn Youngkin for pushing the 'Big Lie' about the 2020 election. It is odd because McAuliffe still believes Al Gore won in 2000.

The University of Virginia announced this week that they will offer a new course on the Mueller investigation of Trump's non-existent collusion with Russia. Mueller will teach at least one class. This move is especially ironic when you recall Mueller's testimony before Congress. He seemed to know very little about the Mueller investigation.

Democrat Melanie Stansbury won the special election for New Mexico's 1st Congressional District. However, Republican Mark Moores made a play for the seat in this deep-blue district by attacking Democrats on rising crime. Democrats may have won, but this race made them nervous. The GOP should go after seats like this across the country. You can't win if you don't play.

Joe Biden announced this week that he is putting Vice President Harris in charge of protecting voting rights. Biden made this move to reinforce the Democrat narrative that minorities suffer from voter suppression. It's all about their efforts to prove a need for their HR1 Bill, which would radically alter the way we conduct elections.
