New in PJ Media:
Jay Jones has already demonstrated that he is unfit to be attorney general of Virginia, and no doubt more is to come.
Jones, as you’ll recall, is the fanatical leftist who was revealed before the election to have written that he wished a House Republican colleague would get “two bullets to the head,” and that the same colleague’s wife would watch their child die in her arms, for “only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.” That should have been enough for Virginia Democrats to denounce Jones as a domestic terrorist and hastily replace him with another candidate for attorney general, but as has been abundantly documented, Democrats don’t really have a problem with political violence, and many of them were likely nodding their heads in agreement with Jones’ deranged statements. He stayed in the AG race. Even worse, he won.
And so now Jones is the attorney general of Virginia, and immediately he showed that he isn’t up to the job. Fox News reported that Jones “drew swift online mockery Thursday after his office released a statement referring to him as ‘Attoney General,’ an error that critics seized on as emblematic of his first major move in office.” That is because “the error appeared in a graphic accompanying Jones’ announcement defending Virginia’s in-state tuition law for undocumented students.”
Yes, it was just a typo, albeit a delicious one in a self-righteous post about how much Jones is supposedly going to do for education. Typos are going to happen. I’ve typed plenty of them myself, and many are enshrined in my books, despite checks not only from me but from editors. It is not just churlish partisanship to poke fun at “Attoney General” Jones, for he presumably has a full staff working with him on social media and related matters, and, as the Virginia GOP pointed out, it still “took him a whole day to fix this.”
For a whole day in our social media-obsessed age, neither Jones nor anyone else noticed that his office had misspelled something so basic as his own job title. Either Jones and his staff don’t know how to spell the word “attorney” themselves, or they don’t care. The incident underscored the fact that Jones is not attorney general of Virginia because he is a capable and competent attorney with a sterling reputation for just and fair dealing. Nor is he attorney general of Virginia because he apologized for his incendiary remarks and showed the requisite amount of public regret.
No, Jay Jones is attorney general of Virginia today because he wanted his opponents dead, and that’s what Virginia’s Democrats want: immediately after being sworn in as governor of the state, Jones’ friend and colleague Abigail Spanberger signed a series of radical leftist executive orders…
There is more. Read the rest here.

So glad I moved out of Virginia.
Gone so far off the deep end it’s already over the cliff looking for another.

Yeah, some years ago, on Breitbart, I suggested that Northern VIrginia – Fairfax, Loudoun and Arlington counties, as well as Alexandria, be removed from Virginia and annexed to Maryland, and I had NoVA Republicans there howling in protest. But w/o that, I don’t see how Virginia can be won back. For instance, in Loudoun county, forget Sterling or Ashburn or even Leesburg: you can’t even get a GOP majority in Purcellville. The county is only somewhat purple the deeper one goes into Catoctin county
The other thing they can do – the parts of Virginia that wanna merge w/ WV – should be allowed to. Let those people be represented by their senators properly, while the rest of Virginia continues to essentially be DC
Long term solution: scatter every department of the US government to different states. Say DOD to Ft Collins, State Department to NYC (near the UN), AG to Jacksonville, Agriculture to South Dakota and so on. These are just examples, but the bottom line is to scatter the government so that bureaucrats can’t just hop from one job to another w/o painfully relocating. Once this is done, both Virginia and Maryland will have to create/attract real jobs, rather than sucking off the tits of the Federal government
