Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin Hires Diversity Director Who Called Critical Race Theory a ‘Dangerous Philosophical Poisoning’

Republican Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has just taken office, and he is already making left-wing snowflakes melt throughout his state.

Youngkin has hired Angela Sailor as Virginia’s new Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Sailor has described critical race theory as “the complete rejection of the best ideas of the American founding,” believing that CRT is “a dangerous philosophical poisoning in the bloodstream.”

Sailor serves as vice president of the Feulner Institute at the Heritage Foundation, and chief of staff to Kay Coles James, the President of the Conservative Research Institute. She is a member of U.S. State Department’s Senior Foreign Service Selection Board and served in the George W. Bush administration.

“The people of Virginia elected the most diverse leadership in the commonwealth’s history,” Youngkin said in a statement.

“Virginia is big enough for the hopes and dreams of a diverse people. Angela Sailor’s experience in government, nonprofits and the private sector will guide us as we ensure that the government is working for all Virginians across our diverse commonwealth, especially when it comes to economic opportunity for all Virginians. In addition, I will introduce and support legislation to change the name of the office to the Diversity, Opportunity and Inclusion Office,” he added.

Big League Politics has reported on how Youngkin is off to a strong start living up to his campaign rhetoric against CRT and other hateful left-wing racialism:

“Immediately following his inauguration as Virginia’s Governor on Saturday, Glenn Youngkin signed a flurry of executive orders terminating left-wing policies implemented by his successor and delivering on several of his campaign promises.

Youngkin has signed executive orders barring the teaching of anti-white critical race theory in Virginia’s schools, removing a statewide public education mask mandate, and removing a vaccine mandate for state government employees.

Youngkin also signed an executive order directing his attorney general to investigate allegations of corruption and wrongdoing in Loudoun County’s education system, where school board members are accused of covering up a series of sex crimes committed by a cross-dressing student who has been convicted of a rape inside of a girl’s bathroom…

Youngkin assailed the divisive hatred of critical race theory in his inaugural address, recognizing that parents will always have a place in constructing the curriculum their children are educated with in state public schools.

Youngkin’s attorney general, Jason Minyares, also fired the state’s civil rights litigation unit, a group of progressive lawyers employed by his predecessors to wage leftist lawfare against the citizens of the commonwealth. Minyares is pledging to prosecute crimes that Soros-controlled progressive district attorneys are declining to prosecute, contravening local and...

Only 10 Percent Of J6 Committee Subpoenas Relate To The Capitol Riot

The House Select Committee established to probe the Capitol riot is not interested in probing the Capitol riot.

The House Select Committee established to probe the Capitol riot is not interested in probing the Capitol riot.

According to a Federalist analysis of the 84 subpoenas publicly issued by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Select Committee on Jan. 6, only 8 have targeted individuals or groups with any connection to the Capitol riot. The rest have taken aim at former government officials and private citizens in a smear campaign for exercising their constitutional right to protest.

The 84 subpoenas do not include the more than 100 seeking the telephone records of individuals whose identities remain under seal, both from the public and from those whose privacy the committee seeks to violate.

“Every member of this committee is dedicated to conducting a non-partisan, professional, and thorough investigation of all the relevant facts regarding January 6th,” said Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney upon accepting Pelosi’s appointment as vice chair. “We owe it to the American people to investigate everything that led up to, and transpired on January 6th.”

Except the committee absent of Republican-appointments at Pelosi’s direction is far from non-partisan, and the probe’s investigation is far from focused on the security failures at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Born in the ashes of a 9/11-style commission blocked by Republicans when Democrats refused a genuine investigation of violence on Capitol Hill, Pelosi’s Select Committee on Jan. 6 has remained faithful to its central purpose. That purpose is seeking retribution against political dissidents while offering a smokescreen to Pelosi’s own culpability in her failures to reinforce Capitol security. Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., made that much clear last summer in an interview with CNN.

“If you look at the charge that we have in the resolution, it says the facts and circumstances around January 6. I don’t see the speaker being part and parcel to that,” Thompson said.

According to Thompson, Pelosi’s apparent refusal to approve activation of the National Guard not once, but six times, according to testimony from former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, fails to fall under the umbrella of “facts and circumstances around...

Independent journalist Tim Pool was swatted for a second time on Tuesday, seven hours after he criticized a Soros-backed cancel culture activist named Nandini Jammi, who had previously announced a “day of reckoning” for right-wing pundits.

Although there is no evidence yet that Jammi had anything to do with the incident, her group “Check My Ads” has been fomenting hatred against those she accuses of spreading disinformation and “inciting insurrection.” The group made a video that included Pool, who is ostensibly not a conservative or on the right. Prominent conservatives such as Dan Bongino, Tucker Carlson, Charlie Kirk, and others also made the cut.

In early January, police entered Pool’s studio while he was on the air. They were answering a fake distress call from someone who claimed that there was an active shooter on his property who had killed two people. Something similar happened Tuesday evening. Pool gave very limited details on the incident because of ongoing security risks but he did say it was worse than the first time, according to the Post Millennial.

“People are going to get nuts in 2022 … What the f–k were we talking about that warranted trying to get us killed on more than one occasion?” Pool asked.

“Swatting” is very serious and has led to accidental police shootings that have killed individuals. After the first time he was “swatted,” it is puzzling why the police did not check before laying siege to Pool’s home once again. On Monday night, Pool had to remove a trespasser from his property as well.

“We will prosecute to the fullest extent considering the warning signs. Do not come here without permission,” Pool warned. “In order to get anywhere near our property you have to drive about an acre. He’s seen on camera entering the house after without permission.”

Pool responded to claims made in the video...
