With Control of Virginia, Democrats Go Into a Tax and Regulatory Frenzy

In the last election, Democrats again campaigned as moderates, including Abigail Spanberger. Once in control of the Governor’s mansion and the legislature, however, Virginia Democrats have moved quickly to fulfill the worst stereotype of a tax-hungry, economy-crushing party. The Democrats introduced an array of new taxes on every aspect of life. At the same time, Spanberger moved to take control of Virginia universities and colleges after years of trying to move those schools to the center. Now, members are pushing rent control legislation and defining landlords as “gougers” if they raise rents by as little as 3%.

The tax frenzy immediately began after the Democrats took control.

Spanberger has also announced that the state will rejoin the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a regional cap-and-trade program that imposes a de facto carbon tax.

Virginia Democrats appear to be replicating California’s disastrous tax policies that have chased high earners and companies from the state. Here are a few of the new taxes being pushed:

HB 378 – Imposes a 3.8% net investment income tax on individuals, trusts, and estates beginning in taxable year 2027. This would raise the state’s top marginal income tax rate on portfolio and passive income to 9.55% in addition to federal taxes.

HB 900 – Imposes sales tax hikes on transportation districts as well as a new tax on every retail delivery in Northern Virginia (Amazon, Uber Eats, FedEx, UPS, etc.). This appears modeled on a Minnesota law.

HB 919 – Imposes a firearm and ammunition tax equal to 11% percent of the gross receipts from the retail sale of any firearm or ammunition by a dealer in firearms, firearms manufacturer, or ammunition vendor.

HB 978 – Extends the retail sales and use tax to dry cleaning, landscaping, and other previously exempt services.

Now, the Democrats are pushing rent control legislation despite a long history of failure in such programs to discourage new construction and property improvements. At the same time, it has been shown actually to increase rents overall.

Democrats have introduced two bills under the guise of fighting “rent gouging.” However, they define gouging as rent increases of just over 3%. That does not cover inflation in past years. Under these laws, restrictions could kick in for increases even below 3%.

In my forthcoming book, Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution, I discuss the challenges for the American Republic in the 21st Century. That includes a predicted move by the left to introduce guaranteed incomes and rent controls. That appears to be unfolding sooner than anticipated.

In New York, Zohran Mamdani is seeking rent freezes and enhanced rent controls. He has surrounded himself with radicals who have called for the elimination or sharp curtailment of private property. The most noteworthy is Cea Weaver who has called for the elimination of private property.

The American left has cited South Africa and Cuba as models for the United States despite their economic meltdowns.

As they seek to impose an array of new taxes and regulations, Democrats are also pushing a bill that would make it more difficult to find federal fraud by nonprofits. As billions have been lost to fraud in other states, the Democrats want to make it harder for the federal government to investigate such fraud in Virginia.

Virginia Democrats are taking a prosperous and moderate state into the same failed direction as states like California. The desire to spend “someone else’s money” is irresistible when you want to increase spending. For many wealthy families, West Virginia or Florida are likely looking more and more appealing.

  1. The impact on retirees, whose income usually derives from interest and dividends, will be substantial at the same time inflation eats away at their buying power. This is worth a deep dive into the figures and another report.

  2. “. . . defining landlords as ‘gougers’ if they raise rents by as little as 3%.”

    Virginia D’s are increasing sales taxes, income taxes, delivery taxes, local taxes (e.g., on lodging), gas taxes . . .

    So why is it “gouging” when a private business raises prices, but not “gouging” when D politicians raise taxes?

    1. The government acts like the mafia. If you pay for protection nothing will happen to your business.

  3. The ‘Board Of Peace’.

    Another Trump Fraud?

    Mr. Trump rescinding the invitation to Mr. Carney was also the latest sign that the Board of Peace would be anything but a typical international organization, where disagreement and open discourse among member states is tolerated or even encouraged. Its charter grants Mr. Trump, the chairman of the organization, outsized power, including the authority to veto decisions, approve the agenda, invite and remove members, dissolve the board entirely and designate his successor.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/us/politics/trump-carney-canada-board-peace.html
    …………………………………..

    Trump defenders insist that his felony fraud conviction was somehow ‘tainted’ or ‘political’. Yet Trump University was ruled a fraud along with The Trump Foundation (not to mention multiple bankruptcies in Atlantic City). And some might say Trump’s meme coins are something of a con.

    But for only a billion dollars your country can join Trump’s ‘Board Of Peace’. And it will be whatever Trump says. A chance for world leaders to sit in a room with Trump and flatter him as a ‘great man of peace’.

    Just to show how unserious the board will be, Trump says Putin can pay his billion with frozen assets meant for Ukraine. That’s a stick in the eye to every NATO country! And practically an admission that The Board Of Peace is just a cynical joke.

    1. “Another Trump Fraud?”

      Oh look – a Democrat cub reporter posting here in hopes he’s got a shot at a job at the NYT. The paper who spent years defending and promoting the fictional and felonious “Trump Russia Dossier” as co-conspirators with Obama and Comey…

      Well, sign me up! I’m convinced, Tovarisch cub reporter.

    “Democrats are also pushing a bill that would make it more difficult to find federal fraud by nonprofits”.
    ****

    Mr. Trump has fired or demoted more than 20 inspectors general or acting inspectors general since he took office six months ago, hobbling offices that for years have served as a check on waste, fraud and abuse. In the 2024 fiscal year alone, the inspectors general fired by Mr. Trump identified more than $50 billion in waste and abuse, according to a congressional report whose findings were confirmed by The New York Times.

    In the 2024 fiscal year, the government’s watchdogs recovered nearly $15 billion through investigations, with another $35 billion in potential savings if agencies follow their recommendations.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/us/politics/inspectors-general-trump.html?
    ………………………………..

    In addition to firing Inspector Generals, Trump has pardoned a number of high level frauds. Therefore any claiming this administration cares about fraud activity, is deep within the rightwing bubble.

      1. Mr. Trump🤣🤣🤣🤣
        Say it…it’s PRESIDENT Trump! I think you should muster up with your comrades in Minnesota, be sure to arm up!

    1. “. . . hobbling offices that for years have served as a check on waste, fraud and abuse.”

      Please tell me you’re joking.

      It is the Trump administration, not the Biden or Walz administrations, that is actively uncovering and prosecuting the multi-billion frauds and abuses in MN. And that is prosecuting the same level of fraud and abuse in CA’s homeless boondoggles. Oh, and apparently you forgot about DOGE.

    1. I already don’t after 8 years of division by Obama, and then 4 years of a delusional old man yelling at the sky, and his brown shirts attacking anybody who doesn’t yell at the sky with them.

  5. REPEAT REQUEST FOR TECH SUPPORT, THANK YOU:
    DEAR DARREN or whoever maintains this site.. I can no longer leave ‘Likes’ WordPress told me: That confirms it – the blog’s comment system has changed how it handles WordPress.com integration. The “Like” feature not working is another clue that the WordPress.com connection is broken for interactive features.

    This is likely something the blog owner (jonathanturley.org) needs to fix on their end – either their comment plugin updated or they changed settings that broke the WordPress.com integration for replies and likes.

    Your options are:

    Continue making fresh comments (which work)
    Contact the blog owner about the broken reply/like features

      1. TY! yes, I did reboot, more than once.. then contacted WordPress Tech Support and rebooted again……. let’s see what develops.. I will also try rebooting again fresh in the new day.. maybe the magic will return!

          1. And that’s why several have given up on the WordPress tech support fan dance and just click “reply”. WordPress is not much better than the old Fidonet.

        1. “maybe the magic will return”

          Gee, other posters are now having trouble with the way Turley’s admins have configured WordPress for this site? What a damned shame. Maybe you should be studiously ignored by the remaining “faithful” here the way I (and a number of others) was ignored when the capability to provide a consistent name to post under in the absence of a registered ID was taken away which forced us all to post as “anonymous” and listen to the unreasoning and unrelenting abuse from those”faithful” (I must assume you were formerly included in that group). Whaddaya think about that?

  6. I remember 1967 through 1973. Very crazy time in this country. Anti Vietnam war, riots in the inner city. Then in 1980 we elected Ronald Regan. We’ll make it through this time period and end bigger and better than ever. The 21st century will be an American century. We go through these cycles. It’s like a learning process(I almost said LEARING!). Meanwhile, we’re going to continue to throw a lot of mud at each other.

    1. The US involvement in Vietnam ended before Reagan arrived, so there was no need to protest a war that no longer existed. Reagan sent out popularity checks, cut taxes, and increased spending by the Federal government, making a massive increase in the national debt. He also overstimulated defense contracting; when that ended it caused a tremendous contraction (mergers, layoffs, loss of institutional knowledge) that has crippled American defense contracting ever since.

      1. In the 1980’s I worked for a defense contractor. I was union member. In 1984 the rank and file voted overwhelmingly for Regan. We’ll make it voted our jobs. Our military buildup in the 1980s is forced the collapse of the Soviet Union. They couldn’t keep up with us. And I doubt it has crippled our defense spending ever since. How many super carriers do we have. By the way there were layoffs. I got laid off. Regan realized that we had spent enough. In an economy as large as ours I went out and found another job.

      2. You left out the part about this National crisis that led to three hour gas lines and six gallin limits, it was called Jimmy Carter. Oil embargo, fall of Iran disaster with American embassy hostages held for over 400 days. Reagan saved America from Socialist Punkdom, Americans may have to save themselves this next go around, it sure wont be the likes of your kind.

  7. Dem priorities: packing Scotus to install a majority of radical left-wing judges; disrupting peaceful worship services; helping child rapists, violent gang members, and murderers evade arrest; ensuring biological men invade women’s and girls’ competitive sports, showers, and locker rooms; opening the borders to criminals and contagious diseases; suppressing domestic energy production; defunding the police; suppressing free speech through the Ministry of Truth and the rest of the government-social-media censorship complex; forcing people to inject an experimental mix of chemicals into their bodies against their will; committing crimes against humanity by masking children which has no health benefit at all and leads to anxiety and mental health issues; killing partially born babies and fully-born babies; supporting middle-east terrorist organizations while assaulting Jews trying to get to class; enabling and supporting child sexual mutilation under the guise of “gender affirming care”; promoting cultural Marxism and dividing everyone on the basis of skin color into oppressors and oppressed; promoting assassination chic culture; actually assassinating the people they disagree with; politicizing everything including sports, entertainment, and comedy so it becomes unwatchable by half of the public. I may add to the list tomorrow.

    1. Perhaps tomorrow you will list actual Dem priorities like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, environmental protection, and civil rights.

      1. CC
        Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid,
        ____________________________________
        At the rate is being burned though, because of fraud. Won’t be much to list anymore.
        Think about that once.

      2. Social Security is funded by whom? Democrats fail to understand that there is a difference between a dollar generated by commerce and one generated by taxation. Taxation of a paycheck that is derived from taxation is a losing battle, it cost $2.00 to generate $1.00. $38 Trillion seems to have slipped peoples mind…
        Where do you suppose Mamdani is going to get funding to provide for free daycare for people that are here illegally? It’s going to come from people that are here legally and that pay for their children’s daycare.

      3. Concerned Citizen says: Perhaps tomorrow you will list actual Dem priorities like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, environmental protection, and civil rights.

        Context, please. Provide us with your Democrat Concerned Citizen context of the civil rights women have to be protected from transsexual men demanding they have a right to access to their change rooms and to compete against them in sports.

        Give us your context about how the Affordable Care Act has actually been affordable, how it does or does not affect those on Medicare/Medicaid, etc. Give us your context on the costs of those programs while California is being ordered to repay billions they were paid for Medicare/Medicaid that Newsom funneled to California’s protected Illegal Aliens.

        We can certainly discuss that with you if you’re willing to do more than just drop a few lines. I for one would like to discuss the guarantees I could keep my prior health care plan if I wanted to – because I’m definitely not saving $2,500 a year in health care costs in any single year since Obamacare was rammed down America’s throats without a single Republican vote.

        Copying and pasting Kamala Harris’s 2024 election talking points isn’t enough if you want to be persuasive other than virtue signal to other Democrats here.

    2. oldmanfromkansas – recall how Martin Luther vandalized churches and Jesus Christ tossed tables at the temple?

      How purely Christian it was to point out the pastor was an un-Christian person.

      1. Ano

        un-Christian person.

        Really, any proof or like many on the left. You HATE anyone who doesn’t think the way you do.

  8. The National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) has issues a statement noting its “firm opposition” to the manipulation of journalistic images by the White House, saying it doing so was meant to purposely mislead the public.

    It’s called transparency. Isn’t it?
    Fricken A HOLES in the White House are deceiving fascist A HOLES.

    1. Dear Anon Troll… which images have BEEN manipulated??? oh of course you have no clue and either does the NPPA – this is the same tactic a lot of Dems use – accuse the GOP of something they haven’t done to give the impression they are doing it.. if you have NO Evidence, keep Your Mouth shut as it makes you look like the biggest ‘A HOLE’ OF ALL.

      1. Was Donald Trump really in Greenland practically holding hands with a Penguin that, well, penguins don’t live in the Arctic and not in Greenland and Trump would need more than a business suit out on the ice this time of year.

        The better question is what photos released by the White House have not been blatantly manipulated?

        1. Was Donald Trump really in Greenland practically holding hands with a Penguin that, well, penguins don’t live in the Arctic and not in Greenland

          Yes, that was indeed a series of hilarious AI created YouTube videos. I enjoyed all of them, despite the obvious propaganda. Because I did view them, I’m thinking you avoided posting the YouTube link because all of the Greenland Defense Force’s penguins, polar bears, killer whales were armed with Soviet Union rifles, tanks, and prominently sporting the Red Star of communist Russia.

          It was a more subtle attack on Trump in favor of Russia than you’re making here.

  9. Turley Writes:

    “Democrats are also pushing a bill that would make it more difficult to find federal fraud by nonprofits”.
    ****

    For decades, the FBI and the Justice Department have been the main enforcers of laws against political corruption and white-collar fraud in the United States. In four months, the Trump administration has dismantled key parts of that law enforcement infrastructure.

    Trump aides have forced out most of the lawyers in the Justice Department’s main anti-corruption unit, the Public Integrity Section, and disbanded an FBI squad tasked with investigating congressional misconduct. They have issued a series of directives requiring federal law enforcement agencies to prioritize immigration enforcement. And they have ended a 50-year policy of keeping the Justice Department independent of the White House in criminal investigations.

    All of that came after Trump fired most of the inspectors general — the independent agency watchdogs responsible for fighting corruption and waste — and the Justice Department dropped a corruption case against the mayor of New York. And it came after the Trump administration Justice Department pulled back on enforcement of foreign bribery and lobbying statutes, as well as cryptocurrency investigations.

    …………………………….

    No one who cares about fraud can possibly overlook the efforts Trump has made on behalf of fellow frauds.

    1. ^ Paid DNC troll. Ignore. ^

      Paid troll shows up at the same time every night with typical commie Trump-derangement garbage. Always with the ………. as a dead giveaway. Probably a bot and not even a human being.

        1. Trump administration’s efforts to expose and combat billions in Somali fraud are resisted by Dems. Moron.

          1. Those efforts started in the Biden administration. What is now seen is old news packaged as if it is new.

            1. Those efforts started in the Biden administration. What is now seen is old news packaged as if it is new.

              For once you are correct. They were aware of it – just as they were aware of the multiple felonies committed and continuing to be committed by Biden’s son Hunter. And like Hunter Biden, they just looked the other way and allowed the felonies to continue.

              Surely you don’t believe that if Harris had been elected, we would be hearing right now about that racist brown skinned President Harris prosecuting these Somalis for fraud?

        2. Ananahole
          We’re not paid, we do it for free as a public service because we love our country. We’re the same people that answer the calls for duty when our country needs us.

    2. Dear Anon Troll… if you are looking for someone to believe your made up Fake News BS.. why not try Adam Schiff’s website…!

    3. For decades, the FBI and the Justice Department have been the main enforcers of laws against political corruption and white-collar fraud in the United States.

      And then came Obama. Immediately afterwhich the FBI under first Mueller and then Comey becoming enablers of Democrat political corruption and DoJ political fraud. The KGB as the Soviet Politburo’s sword and shield became the FBI serving as Democrat presidents similar sword and shield. But you hope to convince people this was Trump!

      Please do stick around to debate – I won’t consider you hiding behind Anonymous if you can remain and debate. As opposed to copying and summarizing the NYT behind the Russia Dossier.

  10. Professor Turley, It seems a bit much to make all these conclusions and have all these concerns based on a few introduced bills and the Governor’s performance 6 days into her term.

    1. Looks like a duck-talks like a duck-walks like a duck JUST MAYBE A DUCK!!! 6 days is enough to come to conclusions!!

    2. Not at all. Look at any other radical blue state. Colorado, California, Illinois, New York. They have done in days what has taken other states years. People have no idea what’s about to smack them in the face. There’s nothing moderate about this.

    3. .. you muat not live in Virginia.. it is a Very Big Deal here.. esp. since the outgoinng Gov. Youngkin left VA in the Black for the first time in 2 decades plus brought in a lot of new Business…. but the Dems want more money to support the exploding illegal undocumented alien population.. I’ve spoken to County officials who say it is true.

    4. “It seems a bit much to make . . .”

      Sure. If your idea of “history” is what you ate for breakfast.

      Sometimes, the Left is like an infant: Every day is a new experience — disconnected from the past or the future.

    5. Concerned Citizen says: Professor Turley, It seems a bit much to make all these conclusions and have all these concerns based on a few introduced bills and the Governor’s performance 6 days into her term.

      This is about the same time frame as President Obama telling Democrats they were about to “fundamentally change America”, correct? Why not go out on a limb and either tell us that what Professor Turley and others are expecting to happen is completely wrong, or just tell us that when people tell us what they intend to do, that is no reason to believe them.

      Obamacare alone is fresh in many minds. As is Democrats claiming it is actually the fault of the Republicans while not a single Republican voted for it.

  11. The measles outbreak in South Carolina hit 700 known cases on Friday, state health officials announced”

    MAGMA – Make America Get Measles Again.
    Thank you trump. Make kids sick is sick.

    1. Modern measles is a gift from Mexico and other third-world s—hole countries through Joe Biden’s border czar, Kamalala Harris.

    2. Dear Anon. Troll.. actually the measles started under Biden… Check it out! please stop your mis/disinformation.

      1. Measles started among those anti-vaccination groups, a movement that got considerable momentum under Trump 1.0.

        1. That poor Democrat lie is a terrible strawman. These “groups” are individual families uniformly spread throughout the country with various degrees of non-compliance to vaccination.

          The only “group” is Biden’s unvaccinated 20 million Illegal Aliens. Not just against measles, but also against diseases like tuberculosis.

          Did you make yourself feel better by posting that?

    3. Biden invited and then allowed between 15 and 20 million UNVACCINATED (included against Covid at the height of the pandemic) Illegal Aliens into America. They did not magically leave the diseases they carried (in your case specifically measles) outside the USA when they entered.

      Whatever opinions you have of Kennedy, whether based on fraudulent claims he opposes measles vaccines or anything else, the insinuation that this or any other measles outbreak is due to a uniform response from all American presidents within just a few months is just base Democrat dishonesty.

      Biden had endless funds to spend pushing DEI and Woke – but didn’t spend a dime attempting to ensure that the unaccompanied Illegal Alien children he brought in were up to date on measles and other vaccinations before turning them over to unknown people and losing hundreds of thousands of them by doing that.

      That’s how Biden kept Illegal Alien kids sick. While his adult Illegal Aliens were sex trafficking some of them, and others were raping and killing American children.

      This is why you hide from any rebuttal or debate after posts such as this.

    4. Anusomos
      Well you’re sure making all of us sick with your BS. As I recall it was Biden and Mayorkas that flooded our nation with 19 million illegal unvetted “asylum seekers” interlopers. Measels 🤣🤣

  12. “They arrested a woman the church protest. … DHS puts out an image of her where she looks composed, and then the White House puts an image out of her 30 minutes later, where she’s been AI manipulated to look like she’s crying and disheveled,”

    Why is the trump administration putting out fake imagery as an official statement?
    What happened to transparency?

  13. Spanberger represents the horrors of Joan Crawford mothers controlling government, especially dangerous when the controlling mothers are bored and manically-depressed, Marxist indoctrinated, white women with guilt-complexes.

    Tax-frenzied HB’s 378, 900, 919, 978 are not merely models Spanberger is following; they’re blueprints for the destruction of the United States, state by state.

  14. The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.

    Article 1, Section 8, the absolute 5th Amendment right to private property, and other rights and freedoms in the Constitution preclude the imposition of any and all of the principles of communism and the Communist Manifesto.

    Congress and no state have any power to deny constitutional rights and freedoms to individuals.

    Mamdani is unconstitutional, antithetical, and anti-American and a direct and mortal enemy of the American Thesis of Freedom and Self-Reliance, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, actual Americans, and America.

      1. Do you see how Karl Marx is unconstitutional, Einstein?

        Karl Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto 59 years after the adoption of the Constitution because none of the principles of the Communist Manifesto were in the Constitution. Had the principles of the Communist Manifesto been in the Constitution, Karl Marx would have had no reason to write the Communist Manifesto. The principles of the Communist Manifesto were not in the Constitution then, and the principles of the Communist Manifesto are not in the Constitution now.

    1. The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.

      The overwhelming singular failure of the American republic rights and freedoms experiment has been voters allowing the continued existence of the vile and violent, seditious DNC and their equally vile members like Anonymous, the racist Democrat communist also posting here as X, both formerly known as George.

      The Democrats who loved Chief Justice Taney telling them their Darkies were just a different breed of farm animal, now attempt to blame the chaos they’ve created on the Supreme Court, not themselves. That would be the Supreme Court that has given them what they couldn’t get at the ballot box. The Confederate DNC who have now embraced Marx/Alinsky’s communist strategies since losing the Kluxxer Civil War and now put their fellow communists like Justices Jackson and Sotomayor on SCOTUS, polluting that court in hopes of continuing to get from SCOTUS what voters consistently reject at the ballot box.

      And while Anonymous/X/George/Svelez and other communist Democrats want to blame SCOTUS – at the same time they howl in delight at the actions of Jackson and Sotomayor that they worked so hard to put on SCOTUS.

  15. . How can anyone care anymore. Look at congress. Frederica Wilson, jasmine Crockett, Ilan Omar, Rash Tlaib, Jayapal, Watters, Pelosi, Klobuchar, Warren, the ENTIRE Democrat crowd. Then Murray and Collins, Boebert and so much more…

    DJT fights a wicked battle and with little help. You’ve got three years.

    These protests aren’t free speech. They’re uprisings. Reality would have reined them in but like the frog people gave the scorpion a ride.

    The Cea woman and Spamburger are eery persons. There’s just nothing good anymore. As far as I see democrats are a fait accompli. Dear God almighty, folks, men are marrying men. Let that really sink in. Where are you?

    1. Protests must be shut down.

      They do not adhere to the fundamental law as the right “PEACEABLY TO ASSEMBLE.”
      ____________________________________________________________________________________________

      Merriam-Webster

      peaceably

      1. . Right. It’s conduct and NYT today showed the shut down of commerce and grannies in the streets BUT Minneapolis is a hub for narco traffic and fraud.

        Where’s the GOP frog paying for ads showing ICE arrests, photos and crimes done and where’s the DEA showing narco arrests and drug seizures? GOP frog should spend some money, huh? DJT held up photos showing the arrests. Where’s ad time on MSM? Buy it.

        Thanks Nick Shirley and some others for trying. Hannity, Beck are chatgpt making weird noises and Hannity saying, Me and my friends …?

      Don’t forget the Helicopter Hore here in Jersey…

  16. In more than one interview with Stern, Trump took part in conversations about Ivanka Trump’s appearance, including one about the size of her breasts.

    In an October 2006 interview, Stern remarks that Ivanka “looks more voluptuous than ever,” and asked if she had gotten breast implants. Trump is willing to engage in the discussion about his own daughter, telling Stern that she did not get implants.

    “She’s actually always been very voluptuous,” Trump responds. “She’s tall, she’s almost 6 feet tall and she’s been, she’s an amazing beauty.”

    In another interview, from September 2004, Stern asks Trump if he can call Ivanka “a piece of ass,” to which Trump responds in the affirmative.

    “My daughter is beautiful, Ivanka,” says Trump.

    “By the way, your daughter,” says Stern.

    “She’s beautiful,” responds Trump.

    “Can I say this? A piece of ass,” Stern responds.

    “Yeah,” says Trump.

    On women’s ages:

    In his interviews with Stern, Trump discussed leaving women after a certain age and dating younger women.

    In a 2002 appearance, Trump calls 30 “a perfect age.”

    “Until she’s 35,” a co-host interjects.

    “What is it at 35? It’s called check-out time,” Trump responds.

    In a 2006 interview, Stern asks Trump, “Do you think you could now be banging 24-year-olds?”

    “Oh, absolutely,” Trump says.

    “Would you do it?,” asks Stern.

    “I’d have no problem,” Trump said.

    Stern then asked Trump if he has an age limit.

    “No, I have no age — I mean, I have age limit. I don’t want to be like Congressman Foley, with, you know, 12-year-olds.”

    1. Biden’s was nailing his prepubescent daughter Ashley in the White House showers – while to set the example, Obama had the serial rapist and pedophile Harvey Weinstein in the White House as an honored guest. But you want to avoid posting about that for now over 16 years? This is your distraction?

  17. Anyone wondering why Netanyahu and Putin did not attend the Davos meeting ?

    The are both wanted criminal fugitives from justice with arrest warrants from the International Criminal Court.
    They would have been arrested as they stepped off the plane in Switzerland.

Calling out every offense to these principles—and asserting that the public/private distinction should not matter—he has treated Elon Musk as a savior. Of course, the left gives plenty of fodder when it says foolish things about obviously protected speech being too harmful to be tolerated—especially on college campuses. But almost every day, Turley plays the anti-left Paul Revere on this, again with the occasional reassuring reminder that somewhere a while back he noted that a leftist was censored. Read enough of Turley’s pronouncements on this subject and you might begin to think that maybe the cure for bad speech really IS less speech.

Maybe because the Left is now a through-and-through place of freedom-hating lunacy, with minds diseased and corrupted by hatred of Trump and all things American, and swooning over Communist dictators and avowed communist politicians such as Mamdani. Maybe because the Left is hell-bent on destroying the West. You should be thanking Professor Turley, moron.
