Biden’s VA Democrats have been returned to their plantation
Virginia’s new Republican governor was sworn in yesterday and he’s hit the ground running
Newly-minted Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin started his first day in office with a bang that could reverberate across the nation as a signal to other governors on the fence between the people and the donor class.
Signing a slate of executive orders, Youngkin fulfilled some of the biggest promises he made to voters during his groundbreaking gubernatorial run. The orders include:
Ending the use of Critical Race Theory in public education
Investigating “wrongdoing” in Loudon County
Opening the economy for all business
Withdrawing from previous “green energy” initiatives that have been harmful to Virginia’s economy and bureaucracy
Slashing “job-killing” regulations
Allowing parents and students to opt out of school mask mandates
Rescinding vaccine mandates for all state employees
Youngkin also pledged to “restore integrity and confidence” in the state Parole Board, a move bolstered by the appointment of new Attorney General Jason Miyares, who has already announced he will begin the prosecution of criminal activities in districts in which Soros-backed District Attorneys refuse. There are also provisions for fighting human trafficking and antisemitism. Youngkin signed the orders immediately after his Saturday, January 15th inauguration.
Virginia’s newly elected Attorney General was also sworn in, and he too is cleaning house.
According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Miyares notified around 30 staff members they're being let go - including 17 attorneys and 13 staff members. The attorneys include the solicitor general, Herring's deputies, and reportedly Helen Hardiman - an assistant AG who worked on housing discrimination.
Miyares, who will take over Democratic AG Mark Herring, campaigned on a promise to pursue legislation that would enable state AGs to circumvent "social justice" attorneys who refuse to vigorously prosecute crimes.
