Virginia moves to forbid schools from teaching that Jan. 6 was peaceful In what appears to be a first in the country, legislation headed to the desk of Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) would prohibit public schools from teaching that the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capit...

Virginia lawmakers have passed a first-of-its-kind bill that prohibits schools from teaching that the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection was a peaceful demonstration or that there was massive fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

In part because the dudes currently invoking the Central Component of my idea are chiefly the reason we’re in this mess.

Civically speaking, no community can reach its potential until it has walkable streets. Theologically speaking, the more we disembody ourselves by hurling down the road past one another, the further we retreat from grace and solidarity.

Dualism is one of the worst things Christians carried into the discourse and it ironically has become one of the most prominent staples of the Secular Age. If it is not this, it must be that. Like some messed up LSAT question...

It's okay to make fun of how a man looks or enjoy that he has to sit behind his cheating spouse for political purposes because it's a man and men don't have insecurities also men need to be more sensitive and vulnerable

MAGNET Exclusive: Premiere Of Spencer Thomas' "Video Farm" Video - Magnet Magazine To be clear: Spencer Thomas’s β€œVideo Farm” has nothing to do with agriculture. β€œI heard about this concept where people are forced to run videos over and over again in order to boost views,” says Thom...

I’m trying to imagine what would happen if a Democratic senator literally broke a military veteran’s forearm, which appears to be what happens here.

The Feds Targeted Charlotte. Now a Local Democrat Who Helped ICE Faces Voters. - Bolts North Carolina lawmaker Carla Cunningham voted to mandate compliance with ICE, and derided immigrants on the House floor. The Democrat faces an intense March primary.

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."

She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!

At the victory party for Rev. Dr. Rodney Sadler, who has unseated Rep. Carla Cunningham in a NC House race.
A huge victory for progressives in Charlotte and its Northern suburbs.

Mississippi Rs didn’t flip the House until 2011, astoundingly. But *because* of this, it’s rare to see a politician use this line of attack in primary races around here.

'Republican imposter': Hyde-Smith shares editorial calling out primary opponent When Sen.

Candidate attacks primary opponent for being a former Democrat, forgetting that *she* was a Democratic State Senator for over a decade.
