Dems Rejoice as Child Murder Buff Taps Blackface Gov, aka 'Coonman,' to Lead Transition Team

Jay Jones made history this week as the first person to be elected attorney general of Virginia after fantasizing about murdering a political opponent's children and urinating on their graves. So it makes sense that Jones would seek the counsel of another Virginia politician who knows what it takes to overcome a scandal involving moral depravity. (Step 1: Refuse to step down. Step 2: Be a Democrat.)

Bondi exposes ‘UNPRECEDENTED’ Arctic Frost action against Trump by Biden admin



Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed on Tuesday further disturbing details about the Biden administration's Operation Arctic Frost, which targeted at least nine Republican lawmakers.

'It was a clear effort by the Biden White House and the Biden DOJ to go after the president.'

Documents previously published by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) exposed that the operation sought the private cellphone records of Republican politicians.

The investigation into Arctic Frost unveiled that the Biden administration provided Trump's phone to special counsel Jack Smith, Bondi announced on Tuesday.

"During the Arctic Frost Investigation, we found that Special Counsel seized President Trump's government-issued phone," Bondi wrote in a post on X.

Bondi called the action by the Biden administration "UNPRECEDENTED."

"In addition, Special Counsel subpoenaed all of President Trump's PERSONAL phone records," she continued. "We can never again allow this kind of government weaponization in America."

Bondi stated that the latest findings were provided to Congress.

Conservatives flooded Bondi's post with comments asking if any arrests would follow these new revelations, expressing that many are tired of the political theater and want to see justice served.

"Why not move forward with charges?" one X user asked. "Why hand it to Congress ... so it can die in committee and resurface as campaign soundbites? We're tired of the theater. We want accountability."

"America is sick and tired of talk," another user wrote. "We want major arrests and long prison terms. I really do not know how else to make this more clear. Our guy has a MUG SHOT, his personal home was raided by armed law enforcement with shoot to kill orders. He has had multiple attempts on his life."

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reacted to Bondi's announcement during Tuesday's press briefing.

"I think this is just further evidence of the egregious overreach and weaponization of government that took place under the previous White House against then-former president and now-President Donald J. Trump," Leavitt said. "It was a clear effort by the Biden White House and the Biden DOJ to go after the president."

The Department of Justice declined to comment beyond the AG's statement.

NJ deputy AG takes stand against race-baiting Democrat out to 'silence' conservatives amid dead-heat race



As the tight gubernatorial race in New Jersey reaches its final stretch, a deputy attorney general last week left his secure government career to speak out on pivotal political issues impacting his home state.

After a 14-year public service career, during which he worked on high-pressure cases as a deputy AG, assistant prosecutor, and defense attorney, William Holmes announced that he felt compelled to resign.

'I cannot, in good conscience, work under someone who would label me a racist or white supremacist simply for sharing some of Kirk's views.'

He referred to the celebration of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, along with New Jersey Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill's comments about Kirk, as the final straw.

Holmes expressed deep concern that Sherrill would secure a victory against Republican rival Jack Ciattarelli on Tuesday.

"I disagree with her on many issues, but what troubles me most is her recent characterization of Charlie Kirk's views as 'racist' and 'anti-American,'" Holmes wrote in a post on Facebook addressing his recent decision to resign. He called Sherrill's "reckless labels" of Kirk's views "disqualifying."

Holmes was referring to a statement released by Rep. Sherrill (D-N.J.) on Kirk’s murder. While she condemned the "horrific" assassination, she called Kirk's views "vile" and accused him of trying to "roll back the rights of women and Black people."

"Any person who is trying to hold a position of great power should at the very least try to understand the arguments of their political opponents. The ignorant labeling by Sherrill shows she made no such attempt," Holmes told Blaze News.

He further scrutinized Sherrill for remaining silent about Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones' text message scandal, in which he wished death on a Republican rival and his children.

"I resigned because I want to urge people not to vote for Mikie Sherrill and to give Jack a chance. Her inflammatory comments, made before Kirk was even laid to rest, cannot be ignored," he wrote. "I cannot, in good conscience, work under someone who would label me a racist or white supremacist simply for sharing some of Kirk's views."

Holmes acknowledged that resigning was a risky decision, but he emphasized the importance of freely discussing political matters.

"I've had to bite my tongue on many issues, such as how bail reform was implemented, the assassination attempt on President Trump and the coverage of it afterwards, and of course, Charlie Kirk's recent death and the aftermath of it," Holmes told Blaze News. "I understand some of the reasoning as to why a prosecutor needs to stay silent and how it could affect the public's trust. However, I also know that if my co-workers knew I had strong conservative views, it would likely ruin any chances of a promotion while serving under a Democratic leadership."

Holmes contended that "debate is the best forum for discovering truth." He stated that labels like "Nazis," "racists," and "fascists" are used to dehumanize conservatives and discourage debate.

"I hope others are willing to come forward and speak out and defend their beliefs. The more people who are willing to speak out and criticize the ignorant labels by people who do not even bother trying to understand our beliefs, the harder it will be to silence us," he said.

As of Saturday, RealClearPolling had Sherrill with an average advantage of just 3.3 points over Ciattarelli, and some recent polls show just a 1-point advantage.

Democrat Jay Jones' scandals pile up: Criminal investigation emerges on the heels of violent texts



Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones faces more pressure to drop out of the race after reports surfaced that he is under investigation concerning a prior reckless driving conviction.

Jones' campaign was already battling a scandal when leaked text messages from 2022 revealed that he had wished death upon a Republican lawmaker and his children.

In the texts, Jones stated that, in a hypothetical situation where he had only "two bullets" and had to choose between shooting then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert (R), Adolf Hitler, and Pol Pot, he would shoot Gilbert twice. He also claimed that Gilbert and his wife were "breeding little fascists," referring to their children, and wished harm on them. None of Jones' fellow Democrats called on him to exit the race over the texts.

'From murderous text messages to reckless driving at 116 mph to defrauding a court of law, Jay Jones belongs behind bars, if convicted of fraud, not as a member of the state bar — let alone as Virginia's attorney general.'

Several local reports on Wednesday indicated that Jones' campaign was facing yet another scandal, this time involving a 2022 reckless driving conviction for driving 116 mph.

A court previously ordered Jones, a Democratic former Virginia delegate, to pay a fine and serve 1,000 hours of community service. According to reports, Jones completed 500 hours with the NAACP and another 500 hours at Meet Our Moment. However, he allegedly did not make it clear to the court that the latter was his own political action committee.

New Kent County Commonwealth's attorney Scott Renick was assigned to investigate questions surrounding Jones' community service. Yet, Renick felt "it would be improper for him to act in the matter ... due to a potential conflict," according to court records obtained by Blaze News. He recommended the court assign special prosecutor Nathan Green.

Renick's office declined to provide any additional comments on the matter.

WAVY-TV reported that Green had also refused to accept the appointment. Green provided an order to Blaze News confirming that he had recused himself from the case. The order claimed that "it would be improper for him to act in the matter." Green did not provide any further explanation.

Jason Miyares, the current Virginia attorney general and Jones' Republican opponent, called on Jones to withdraw from the race "for the sake of public trust and common decency."

"Virginians deserve an Attorney General whose integrity is beyond question," Miyares stated. "Jay Jones had already disqualified himself with his violent text messages against political opponents and their children."

"It is not possible for Jay Jones to fulfill the duties of that office while under an open criminal investigation," Miyares continued. "If Jay Jones stays in the race, it shows a contempt for voters never seen in modern Virginia political history. Jay Jones has not taken accountability for his words or actions."

The Republican Attorneys General Association previously called for Jones to drop out of the race following the unearthed text messages and heightened those calls Thursday because of the ongoing investigation.

"Jay Jones has proven himself time and again to be unfit and unqualified to serve as Virginia's top prosecutor," RAGA executive director Adam Piper stated in a press release. "While 51% of Virginians have said Jay Jones should drop out, Democrats continue to put partisan identifiers above principle by allowing Jay Jones to remain on the ballot. He is a threat to the safety of all Virginians."

"Jay Jones has shown he lacks the character, integrity, and judicial temperament to be attorney general," Piper said. "From murderous text messages to reckless driving at 116 mph to defrauding a court of law, Jay Jones belongs behind bars, if convicted of fraud, not as a member of the state bar — let alone as Virginia's attorney general."

Jones' campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

As Virginia Election Nears, A Mix Of Optimism And Foreboding Drives GOP’s Ground Game

Grassroots ground gamers tell The Federalist that Republicans have picked up the pace of late. But is it too little, too late?

REPORT: Jay Jones Under Investigation For Allegedly Lying To Court

'It is not possible for Jay Jones to fulfill the duties'

Jay Jones proves Democrats will excuse anything for power



Jay Jones, the Democrats’ nominee for Virginia attorney general, has become a general travesty. Disqualified by his own words and actions, he keeps running while Democrats refuse to call him off. Apparently, they still think he deserves the office.

On Aug. 8, 2022, Jones, who had recently resigned from the Virginia House of Delegates after representing Norfolk, texted Republican state delegate Carrie Coyner about tributes to former legislator Joe Johnson Jr. One tribute came from then-Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert. Jones dismissed Johnson’s centrism and Gilbert’s praise with crude contempt. His texts quickly turned menacing.

Might Jones’ first prosecution be against himself? Doubtful. But how could he prosecute others for the same vile behavior he once celebrated?

Jones called Gilbert “that POS.” He wrote, “If those guys die before me, I will go to their funerals to piss on their graves.” He added that if he could shoot Hitler, Pol Pot, and Gilbert but had only two bullets, Gilbert would get “two bullets to the head” — “every time,” he said.

He accused Gilbert and his wife, Jennifer, of “breeding little fascists” and wished that Gilbert’s children would “die in their mother’s arms.” Coyner urged him to stop. He should have heeded her advice.

Half-hearted apologies

Jones has tried to apologize since his texts surfaced. At the time, he showed no hesitation or doubt about his vile remarks. For more than three years, he expressed no remorse until the prospect of consequences forced his hand — plenty of time to craft an apology and even longer to locate a conscience.

This episode isn’t Jones’ first disqualifying act. Coyner recalled Jones once saying that “if a few [policemen] died, that they would move on, not shooting people, not killing people.”

In January 2022, Jones was convicted of driving 116 mph — 46 mph over the limit. A court fined him $1,500 and ordered 1,000 hours of community service. He spent half of that time working for his own political action committee, Meet Our Moment.

The attorney general serves as Virginia’s top cop and prosecutor. According to the commonwealth’s website:

The Office of the Attorney General provides legal services to the Commonwealth’s agencies, boards, commissions, colleges and universities. They are the Commonwealth’s law firm, defending the interests of Virginians and Virginia government and also work with law enforcement throughout the Commonwealth to prepare for emerging public safety threats and to promote successful, secure communities.

Jones’ record conflicts directly with the job he seeks. Voters might ask how Jones can protect Virginians from crimes he’s committed himself? The statute of limitations on threats is one year for a misdemeanor. But Virginia has no statute of limitations on felonies.

Might his first prosecution be against himself? Doubtful. But how could he prosecute others for the same vile behavior he once celebrated — or those who endanger police officers, as he once suggested was necessary?

Unaccountable stupidity

A state legislator’s role differs sharply from that of the attorney general. A legislator’s foolishness, however damaging, remains limited to the district that elected him and can be tempered by the rest of the General Assembly. The attorney general, by contrast, represents all Virginians — including law enforcement and the entire state government. His mistakes ripple through every level of public service and civic life.

Virginians pay the price

But Jones and his army of Virginia Democrats think otherwise. Their refusal to remove him from the ticket speaks volumes. It shows they believe, just as Jones does, that he’s entitled to be attorney general — a stance as damning as his own text messages.

Jones’ desire to be attorney general and his support from Democrats has outweighed his lack of objective qualifications for the job. Virginians should not have to bear the price of their vile partisan game.

Democrat Jay Jones tries to pivot debate away from vile texts wishing death on a rival's kids — but Virginia AG won't let him



Virginia attorney general candidates Jay Jones and Jason Miyares faced off in a debate at the University of Richmond Thursday night ahead of the November 4 election. While the debate covered topics ranging from crime and immigration to energy costs and civil rights, the conversation always returned to the topic on everyone's mind: Jay Jones' vile text messages.

Jones, a Democrat former Virginia House delegate, fought to defend himself over a series of text messages he sent a few years ago in which he seemingly advocated for political violence against then-Speaker Todd Gilbert (R) and death upon his children.

'If you were truly sorry, you would not be running for this office, because you disqualified yourself.'

Jones addressed the controversy at the outset and accepted "accountability" multiple time over the course of the debate.

"I am ashamed, I am embarrassed, and I am sorry. I am sorry to Speaker Gilbert. I'm sorry to his family. I'm sorry to my family. And I'm sorry to every single Virginian. I cannot take back what I said. But you have my word that I will always be accountable for my mistakes. And you also have my word that I will spend every waking moment fighting for you."

Jones used the words "accountable" and "accountability" more than 30 times during the hour-long debate. However, many instances were aimed at holding Donald Trump and Republicans "accountable" for their policies.

For example, after repeatedly refusing to directly answer why voters should trust Jones after his incendiary text messages in which he "doubled down," as Miyares pointed out, on wanting the innocent children of a political opponent die, Jones insisted, "I've taken accountability for my mistakes, and I know that people in Virginia right now demand and deserve leaders who accept when they make mistakes and can acknowledge that and have been held accountable. This job right now demands someone who will hold Donald Trump accountable."

In response, Miyares said, "He's running for the wrong office. ... I have to make this observation: He keeps saying that he is sorry. Jay, if you're really sorry, you wouldn't be running."

In another heated moment, Miyares said, "If you were truly sorry, you would not be running for this office, because you disqualified yourself."

Jones said he had a comprehensive public safety plan to get guns out of the commonwealth and protect Virginians.

In response, Miyares pointed out several instances in which Jones prioritized lenient punishment for criminals over the protection of victims of violent crime, some of them children.

Miyares continued, "And I find it a little bit stunning that today you say one of the pillars of your public safety platform is protecting children. Were you protecting [Jennifer Gilbert's] children when you said you wanted to see them die in their mother's arms?"

In his closing statement, Miyares pointedly asked, "Are we going to pass the test of decency?"
