Republican Glenn Youngkin WINS in Virginia, Republican Also Winning in NJ at Midnight

[Anti Globalist]

Still don't see a concession from Murphy or McAuliffe. That fact alone tells you everything you need to know.

 

[phill4paul]

Also, congratulations to the first black woman elected to a statewide office in Virginia. Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears (R).

The Dems support no industry except marxism.

Lol - The "Green Energy", Big Pharma, Big Media, Social Media, Edukashun, Legal Services, Health Care, Banking, Insurance, Financial Services, Entertainment, and Infrastructure industries would probably disagree with you.

McAuliffe has conceded

Presently, there is no reason for Murphy to concede.
He has not yet been determined to have lost.
And given that New Jersey is counting mail-in-ballots last, he probably won't lose.

 

[Anti Federalist]

The marxists got their ass kicked everywhere. Long Island, PA, and lots of local offices.

And this is a good thing, in spite of what some may say.

Murphy is going to take NJ pretty handily... https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2021-elections/new-jersey-governor-results

Ciattarelli is currently winning election day voting 62% to 38%, but with early mail-ins and early in-person voting, he never stood a chance.


As for whether "D" vs "R" matters, it all depends on which special interests you want getting your wealth. Remember, none of these politicians is interested in reducing the power of government - they just want to control the power. So, if you want the power to be controlled by people who think like you and support industries favorable to you, then it matters which party wins. If you want their power to be reduced, it doesn't matter.

Ron Paul is an R.

Thomas Massie is an R.

Rand Paul is an R.

Shem Kellogg was an R.

Glenn Bradley is an R.

I could go on...but is that true of all those men?

That's one of the reasons why freedom folks find themselves frustrated at political action...we refuse to take a victory and run with it.

Our enemies have no problem doing that.

The rest of their political party fights them tooth and nail--at least those in office do.

...we refuse to take a victory and run with it.

What victory? The only victory I recall is the one Massie scored--against a Bipartisan Effort.

Here's a recording of the same speech with much better audio quality:

(Also, $#@! YouTube.)

The War On Us - Rep. Thomas Massie

Or is this your idea of running with a victory?

Also, congratulations to the first black woman elected to a statewide office in Virginia. Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears (R).

And this woman, as opposed to some George Soros funded Marxist hack, getting elected is a good thing.

She may not "get it" on every issue, but the fact that she clearly understands the relationship of armed citizens vs. disarmed citizens indicates that she has the basic understanding of man and government correct.

Meanwhile, the Main Stream Media is enriched by those who donated to either campaign.

To be fair, when I said, "none of these politicians", I meant the ones who won this election. There are certainly aberrations and they can find niches in the Republican party. But the party itself is about controlling the power. I don't really see the "R" party winning as a victory. I do however, see Massie, the Pauls, and other liberty-minded folks winning as a victory. I don't think that really happened yesterday.

In the case of yesterday (and almost always), I'm glad the incumbents lost. That's the only victory I see.

How is that clear? Because she let someone point a camera at her while she had a rifle in her hands? The same way millions decided Trump was anti-establishment because the constant, unending publicity he got was ostensibly not complimentary? This before he teamed up with Pelosi to suspend the Constitution.

What did Sun Tzu say about underestimating the enemy? We had better refresh our memories about how true his words were or we'll hand them victory on a silver platter. We may as well roll over now and save ourselves the sweat, as indiscriminately lick the boots of anyone who self-identified with a scarlet R.

Life has taught you to stick your hand in someone's crotch and check the plumbing before believing how they self-identify their gender. But ten thousand RINOs later, you still let CNN tell you whether or not to believe self-identified "conservatives"?

I like what I am seeing in some of these new faces.

Good. Now to get Cooper out in N.C.

Yes! Maybe someone can convince Lloyd Blankfein to register as Republican and run so he can kick those damn Democrats out!

I don't follow politics much but if I were to summarize my findings, CRT lost and 2A won.

Good enough for me.

I'll leave this here, since VA just elected their CEO for the last 25 years:

https://publicintegrity.org/national-security/investing-in-war/

A dozen companies in which Carlyle had a controlling interest netted more than $9.3 billion in contracts.

Overall, six private investment firms, including Carlyle, received nearly $14 billion in Pentagon deals between 1998 and 2003. (See related report, “The Sincerest Form of Flattery.”)

From its founding in 1987, the Carlyle Group has pioneered investing in the defense and national security markets, and through its takeover of companies with billions of dollars in defense contracts became one of the U.S. military’s top vendors, ranking among better known defense firms like Lockheed Martin, Boeing Co., Raytheon Co., Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics.

Unlike those firms, however, the Carlyle Group itself is not a manufacturer. It offers no services directly to the Pentagon, and has no defense contracts. Rather, it manages investments—some $18.4 billion from 600 individuals and entities in 55 countries, according to its Web site. The firm’s business is making money for these investors, the vast majority of whose identities are not disclosed to the Securities and Exchange Commission or other government bodies.

Though Carlyle itself has won no contracts, the companies it has owned or controlled have done billions of dollars worth of business with the Pentagon. The Carlyle unit that brought in the largest share—$5.8 billion—was United Defense Inc., which manufactures combat vehicles, artillery, naval guns, missile launchers and precision munitions. United Defense also owns the country’s largest non-nuclear ship repair, modernization, overhaul and conversion company, United States Marine Repair Inc. Its most famous product may well be the Bradley fighting vehicle. United Defense brought in more than 60 percent of Carlyle’s defense business.

Carlyle took United Defense public in 2001; by April 2004 it had sold all its shares in the company.

Lear Siegler Services, a leading contractor in aircraft logistics support, maintenance, pilot training and ground support, received contracts worth more than $1 billion. Carlyle sold the company in August 2002.

Southwest Marine Inc. also received contracts worth more than $1 billion since 1998, and Norfolk Shipbuilding & Drydock received contracts worth $827 million. In 1998, Carlyle merged these two companies into United States Marine Repair.

Vought Aircraft Industries, a large subcontractor doing work for military cargo planes, bombers, and fighters, received contracts worth $85 million. Vought is among the few defense contractors that the Carlyle Group has not sold.

....................................................

A windfall of war

The group cashed out many of its investments when the stock of defense companies rose dramatically in the aftermath of September 11 and the buildups to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

“Defense properties are too expensive these days,” explained Carlyle spokesman Chris Ullman.

In 1997, Carlyle liked the price of United Defense, and beat out General Dynamics and Alliant Techsystems, which also coveted the underperforming artillery firm. General Dynamics bid more than Carlyle offered for the company, but potentially faced a lengthy, drawn out antitrust battle if it acquired United Defense. Carlyle ended up winning the bid.

Carlyle finally sold its stakes in United after taking it public in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. The Washington Post called the hugely successful public offering “one of the most successful single venture investments of recent years.”

But United did not seem all that lucrative before September 11.

....................................................

Carlyle has a diversified portfolio, focusing its investments in sectors that have heavy government regulation and contracting—defense, telecommunications and banking. Carlyle has matched its investments with the expertise of high ranking government officials, whom the firm has courted almost from its inception.

Their faces mean nothing. Their actions aren't reported on CNN.

Worked on Trump and other RINOs.

It's about time we realized that it's those very few Republican politicians who DO have integrity who are the RINOs. Real Republican office holders, judging by the sheer numbers, are the fascists.

I've never found that necessary. How a person is plumbed is written all over their body

So, if you want the power to be controlled by people who think like you and support industries favorable to you, then it matters which party wins. If you want their power to be reduced, it doesn't matter.

Good enough for me.

Well, there you go. I, for one, am tired of being distracted by what particular propaganda the federally controlled child indoctrination centers are shoveling today. I, for one, am tired of picking and choosing which of the first ten Amendments to defend, at the expense of the rest.
