The “moderate” governor of Virginia has decided to rig all elections.
Another promise by Zohran Mamdani goes out the window.
And have you ever wondered what airline pilots talk about with the control tower? Well, we know now.
What Going On In Iran
Here’s the news in Iran:
- The ceasefire is supposed to end tomorrow in the war against Iran.
- Trump says that it is unlikely he will extend the ceasefire.
- The United States is capturing ships going into and out of Iran.
- Some ships are getting through.
- Chris Murphy, while in Spain ripping Donald Trump, is under fire for cheering on the Iranians.
They Cheat
According to the Daily Wire:
Bringing the United States perilously close to dismantling its constitutional foundation, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger has signed HB965 into law, officially entering the Commonwealth into the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC). The decision has sparked immediate outrage across the state, as critics realize the measure effectively renders the individual votes of Virginians “null and void.”
By signing this compact, Spanberger has agreed to hand Virginia’s 13 electoral votes to whichever presidential ticket wins the national popular vote — regardless of how the people of Virginia actually cast their ballots. With Virginia’s entry, the movement is now a terrifying 48 electoral votes away from taking effect. The current total stands at 222 votes, or 82% of the way to the 270-vote threshold required to fundamentally upend American elections.
It is no coincidence that the states rushing to bypass the Constitution represent a monolithic partisan bloc. To date, every single state that has joined the compact is a blue state, moving the country toward a system where a few deep-blue urban centers could dictate the presidency for the entire Union. The list of members includes:
- Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois, Hawaii, Washington, Massachusetts, District of Columbia, Vermont, California, Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, New Mexico, Oregon, Colorado, Minnesota, Maine, and now Virginia.
This partisan rush to ignore state boundaries flies in the face of Alexander Hamilton’s warnings in Federalist No. 68. Hamilton cautioned that the Electoral College was not a mere suggestion, but an “excellent” system designed to protect the Republic from the very “tumult and disorder” that a direct popular vote invites.
The Founders were explicitly wary of a direct popular vote, fearing it would allow a “demagogue” with “talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity” to manipulate the masses. Hamilton argued that the presidency should not be a prize for the most famous or the most populist, but should be determined by an intermediate body of electors — men “most likely to possess the information and discernment requisite to such complicated investigations.”
Do This With Food Stamps
According to the New York Post:
Mayor Zohran Mamdani admitted Tuesday that the promised lower prices at his city-owned grocery stores will only be guaranteed for a core set of everyday staples.
Items in those so-called baskets of goods have yet to be decided, but likely include essentials such as bread, milk and eggs, officials said.
Beyond those essentials, the stores will also sell other foodstuffs and items. Officials said they’ll aim to make those items low-cost as well, but may not always be able to achieve the perpetual discount.
“When it comes to the products that we will be selling at the city-run grocery stores, there will be an essential basket of goods that will be guaranteed a cheaper price, and cheaper than what they’re being sold at currently,” Mamdani said during a news conference at La Marqueta in Harlem.
The already city-owned La Marqueta was the first location revealed to host Mamdani’s socialist pet grocery project, but he said Tuesday the actual store – which carries a whopping $30 million expected price tag – won’t open until 2029.
Other yet-to-be-decided municipal grocery stores will open before then, with the first expected to greet shoppers in late 2027, officials said.
Ugh!
According to the Post Millennial:
The Federal Aviation Administration has said it will investigate an incident that has gone viral in which two pilots were heard meowing and barking at each other over an air traffic control frequency.
One pilot was heard saying “meow meow frequency from Reagan National Airport outside of Washington, DC in audio first obtained by ATC.com. The other pilot barked in response. The audio was captured on April 12.
One person replied on the frequency, “You guys need to be professional,” which was met with more meowing and barking. A person replied, “This is why you still fly an RJ.” RJ refers to regional jet, where many pilots begin their careers. It is unclear which flights the pilots had been on or what airline they worked for.
Per the New York Post, the FAA said it prohibits pilots from engaging in “non-essential conversations” below 10,000 feet. “Conversations must be related to the safe operation of the aircraft. The FAA investigates all situations where pilots may have violated any regulation,” the agency said.
Dennis Tajer, a pilot and spokesperson for the American Airlines pilots’ union Allied Pilots Association, said he has heard meowing on the “guard frequency, which is reserved for emergencies, before. It is unclear what frequency the April 12 incident took place on.
“It’s not entertainment, it’s a serious frequency and it has a serious purpose,” Tajer said, per ABC News. “Anything that contaminates that with idle humor or any kind of schtick is not received well and it should stop.”
Addressing those meowing, Tajer said, “For the few individuals out there that do it: stop, join us, stay safe and we’ll keep that frequency sacred and protected.”
Hmmm!
According to the Daily Wire:
President Donald Trump’s administration is investigating the “troubling” deaths and disappearances of scientists and researchers who each reportedly had access to classified information at some point in their careers.
“In light of the recent and legitimate questions about these troubling cases, and President Trump’s commitment to the truth, the White House is actively working with all relevant agencies and the FBI to holistically review all of the cases together and identify any potential commonalities that may exist,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement on Friday afternoon.
Her remarks came after Fox News’ Peter Doocy pressed both Leavitt and President Donald Trump about the eerie timeline, given that at least 11 scientists have died or disappeared under strange circumstances. All of these individuals have been tied to military, nuclear, or aerospace research, according to Fox News.
A spokesman for the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration told The Daily Wire on Friday that it is “aware of reports related to employees of our labs, plants, and sites and is looking into the matter.”
Trump himself said that he had just left a meeting on the topic as he departed the White House on Thursday for Las Vegas.
“I hope it’s random, but we’re going to know in the next week and a half,” Trump said. “Pretty serious stuff … hopefully a coincidence, or whatever you want to call it.”
Amy Eskridge, for example, was an Alabama researcher who died on June 11, 2022, at the age of 34 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. She co-founded the Institute for Exotic Science and worked on “antigravity” research. In a 2020 interview with YouTuber Jeremy Rys, she described receiving “harassment, threats,” and sabotage of her research. Notably, she suggested at one point that scientists who had breakthroughs in their work would “disappear” or stop working.
