Virginia governor starts labeling veterans ‘domestic terror threat’ ahead of 2A rally

And gun confiscation isn’t the only hot topic in the Virginia legislature.

A bill proposed in the Virginia legislature for the 2020 session would direct all of Virginia’s electoral votes in a presidential election go to the winner of the national popular vote.

[Moonshot_1]

A law that a state can have their electors vote for the candidate who wins the National popular vote is unconstitutional on it's face.

There is no National popular vote in the Constitution. There is no established National popular vote for President anywhere. To even attempt this would require participating states to have unified voting laws in every respect. Every citizen would have to have equal protections (the same voting laws) under the Constitution to even begin to consider such a thing.

Makes me wonder how many members here are on that watch list.

Whoever is saying that malakry should remember just one thing - it's the VETERANS who made the sacrifice for him to be able to say that.

And on another note -

Yesterday, SecNav announced that the next aircraft carrier will be named the USS Doris Miller.
For those that don't know the story -

Dorie (Doris) was a black sailor in a highly segregated navy where black sailors were only allowed to be what we call Mess Specialists today - no combat arms training etc. During the Pearl Harbor attack, Doris won a Navy Cross for his actions that day - saving other sailors lives, and manning a 50 cal Machine gun to help defend.

Now, I'm  not going to say that all vestiges of discrimination have been wiped out - it's harder to change people than equipment. But all the services have made great strides in this direction.

again navy is breaking tradition by not naming a carrier after a President, Admiral or major battle.  navy being politically correct, found an enlisted man who is black with a womans name, how cute.   there are many DDGs named after black men who were heroes.  they again became politically correct with fleet oiler class named it John Lewis class, yes that john lewis who broke laws arrested many times and then elected to congress, and now named another ship in that class the Harvey Milk, who was pushed out of the military because of his sexual orientation 60 yrs ago.    The deep state is well and strong in the navy.

Vestiges of racial discrimination will be known to have gone away when decisions are made with no regard for race not when we have to reach back 80 years to find an opportunity to honor one of a particular race.

Perhaps he does indeed deserve the recognition but does anyone know of another instance that an aircraft carrier was named for a seaman?

DDG class of ships are named after navy and marine war heroes.  this is where Doris Miller should be if at all. what did miller do?, he manned guns to shoot at japanese planes attacking pearl harbor, like everybody else did that day, nothing special that nobody else was doing. he died later on a ship that was sunk by a sub.

an example USS Oscar Austin (DDG-79) (I inspected and sailed on her a few times)

Oscar Palmer Austin (January 15, 1948 – February 23, 1969) was a United States Marine who posthumously received his nation's highest military honor — the Medal of Honor — for heroism and sacrifice of his own life in Vietnam in February 1969.

On February 12, 1969, Austin's observation post near Da Nang was attacked by a large North Vietnamese force. Austin's fellow Marine was wounded, and Austin went over to help him. Austin jumped onto an enemy grenade landing near the wounded man and suffered severe injuries, and then protected his fellow Marine by jumping between him and a shooting Vietnamese soldier. He was mortally wounded during this action, and was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 1970.

Aircraft carriers (CV and CVN), have a history of various legacy names, mostly battles, until 1968, with the commissioning of USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67). Since then, carriers have been named for American presidents, with the exception of;

    USS Enterprise; there is a continuing exception for this name, first used in 1775, eight ships have carried the name, three of them aircraft carriers (see CV-6, CVN-65 and CVN-80).
    USS Nimitz (CVN-68), lead ship of her class, named for Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, commander of all U.S. and Allied naval forces in the Pacific theatre during World War II,
    USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), named for a former Congressman, Chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee, Chairman of the successor United States House Committee on Armed Services, a strong supporter of the Navy through the "Vinson Acts" who became known as "The Father of the Two-Ocean Navy",
    USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74), named for a former United States Senator, President pro tempore of the Senate, Chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services, and a strong supporter of the navy, who became known as "Father of America's modern navy".

The media proclaimed that the attendees of the Virginia rally were White Nationalists.  Fox ran a series of clips where many people from all the major media stations used that exact phrase.  In their speak, white nationalist is synonymous with white racist. They labelled all of the attendees of a 2nd amendment rally racist.

This is the sickness that is consuming the left.  Their viewers hear these hateful accusations and transfer that hate onto an entire group of people.  Sounds like the definition of bigotry to me.

The Right has to turn the left's bigotry and hate around on them and expose it for what it really is, then strip them off the moral high horse.

It appears the rally went off quite well. Once again the media [and certain liberals] stepped in it.

[Patrick]

I too don't believe any state can allow votes to be re-directed. We have an electoral college for a reason.

   The next CVN will be named the Kennedy,  went to ceremonies  for it in June.

[Jess from VA]

All veterans took the oath too.

I guess anyone who took the oath and doesn't completely (criminally) ignore it is a domestic terrorist.

interesting story the first Kennedy CV-67 was going to be the first nuclear class carrier, however during construction due to politically correct green peace ted kennedy the word "Nuclear" carrier could not be associated with the kennedy name. So in mid construction at huge added cost it was made conventional It became the last conventional carrier built, so then the Nimitz class became the first nuclear carrier class of ships.
