    Cliffs notes:

    -He is running first on the principle of trusting the public with the truth
    -We are at an identity crossroads and he still believes our identity is the principles of 1776
    -He will not be bowing out of the race to defer to Trump because Trump will be destroyed one way or the other, and we deserve an option
    -He is spending more time in Iowa than all the other candidates combined (playing the RP game)
    -Strongly pro-life but recognizes the unconstitutionality of a federal abortion ban
    -Start making changes day 1 with mass firings - he literally said he wants to be Milei on steroids
    -Incremental change is not possible
    -Shut down the FBI entirely
    -He actively wants Trump's help and would consider him for VP
    -Strip pharma companies of their vaccine liability protections
    -It's not about him and it's not about Trump, it's about the country
    -Correctly pointed out that DeSantis wears a MAGA suit for TV
    -"At a certain point, people gotta do their homework and open up their eyes, cause we have a country to save and we don't have a lot of time dickin' around"

    Yesterday was the annual VCDL Lobby Day in Richmond, VA.
    This is the annual event on MLK day where VCDL members descend on the offices of Virginia delegates and senators (all commonwealth offices, not federal). We send teams of 10 or so into each delegate and senator's office to discuss with the rep (or often with the rep's legislative aide) what the upcoming bills are for the next session and what the VCDL's position is on them.

    Here's a shot of us waiting to get through the carry line. There are two entrances for this day: one for people not carrying (who go through the metal detectors) and another for those of us carrying. For some inexplicable reason the state police still wand everyone going through the carry line.



    The orange stickers say "GUNS SAVE LIVES" which is the motto of VCDL (this comes in later). Note how we're all dressed... it was 20 degrees yesterday and wasn't going to crack freezing all day.


    Full disclosure... these are my own pics from my phone and aren't going to be great. VCDL had photographers all over the place and will presumably be up on vcdl.org soon.

    From there our team of 10 went up to the fourth floor to start hitting offices. Our team drew a bunch of Republicans and none of them was hostile to the agenda. They all agreed to look over the VCDL's notes - in previous years it has been a front-and-back single sheet. This year it was a whole packet. There are lots of bad bills in this year in VA.

    However, there are some good bills - if you follow the previously mentioned PDF link you can see that the VERY FIRST ONE is a bill that will undo what Attorney General Mark Herring did recently, where he unilaterally decided to stop honoring CHP's from 25 states. Turns out... he actually has the authority to do this in Virginia. And you can see that VCDL has some delegates who are going to work pretty hard not only to undo the damage he did, but to make it impossible for another Atty Gen to do it in the future.

    I need help with this one... this was reported by Tom Davis on his FB feed as well. This is by far the most elaborate internet joke I've ever seen... someone point out the punchline.... it can't be true, that would be like fabric-of-reality-rending stuff.


    http://benswann.com/graham-military-force-congress/

    While visiting the Concord City Republican Committee on March 7th at the “Politics and Pies” forum, the 59-year-old Senator asserted that American ground troops would be necessary to defeat ISIS. In addition, he advocated for the reversal of defense spending cuts and, as President of the United States, Graham would restrict the movement of lawmakers until those cuts are reversed.
    In a chilling statement, Graham said he would not allow Congress ...
