View this email in your browser Dear Friends and Fellow Republicans Impeach Joe Biden As we learned from the unconstitutional impeachments of Donald Trump, the political process of impeachment is something we should never be tossing Subscribearound Pastlightly. Issues There is a reason that only 3 of 46 Presidents were ever actuallyTranslate impeached (Richard Nixon resigned before he could be impeached) – Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump. I hate to say this, but it is now time that we add a 4th president to that list – Joseph Robinette Biden. Mr. Biden needs to be impeached for multiple reasons. 1. Refusing to enforce US Border laws in violation of federal statutes, therefore making a terrorist attack more likely. 2. Abandoning our Afghan allies and breaking a treaty aka international law. 3. Setting conditions on a visit from Ukrainian President Zelensky by requiring Ukraine to sign off on an energy deal with Russia, which is much more serious than anything President Trump may have done. A quid pro quo (something for something) is clearly against US law. For those of you who think this is nothing more than political theater – 1st off, what do you call the 2 impeachments of President Trump? Second, anyone who is ½ way intellectually honest can see that both Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris are both unfit to lead. This regime has destroyed American credibility around the world, and we cannot survive as a nation with such feckless leadership in place. Now, do I really think that Mr. Biden or Ms. Harris will be removed from office? Honestly the answer is no they will not. Democrats will always protect their own, even at risk of their own self interests. There is not one Democrat in the US Senate who will vote to remove Mr. Biden or Ms. Harris. Most likely there is not one Democrat in the US House who will vote the same. But the clear fact is that these 2 and those around them are morally and intellectually incompetent and incapable of leading, and thus must be removed from office – so we must start the debate now. Even the Washington Post is offended by this action: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/07/22/did-biden- just-commit-an-impeachable-offense-ukraine/ As we all have learned over our lives, impeachment is as much a political process as it is a legal process. Nixon was about to be impeached not only because of Watergate and the surrounding scandals, but also because the US economy was such a mess, and gas prices were through the roof in terms of 1973/74 dollars. Clinton clearly committed crimes and remains the only President to ever be convicted of a crime while in office (contempt of court), but Subscribethe economyPast Issues was going well – so no one wanted to upset the apple cart. Translate Trump was only impeached because he upset the powers that be inside Washington DC. Democrats will never admit this, but they’d love to see Biden gone as well. He’s an albatross around their collective necks. And thus the Pelosi/Schumer crime family are trying to get as many things through Congress as possible before the GOP takes back over. Regarding the picture above, this is not Joe Biden hanging his head in a moment of silence as some news outlets and Twitter geeks are trying to claim. It is Joe Biden hanging his head after being asked a tough question by Fox News reporter Peter Doocy. The above mentioned picture is what voters should be taking away when thinking of Biden - a man who cannot think or respond under pressure and must hang his head. Note the exchange in the video in the link below and then Mr. Biden hangs his head at or near the 1:30 mark after being challenged. Seems that Mr. Biden can't handle being challenged or disagreed with. https://www.foxnews.com/media/a-defining-image-social-media-spreads-viral- photo-of-biden-from-afghan-press-conference Remove McAwful From the Ballot! As most of you may be aware, yesterday RPV filed an injunction, stating that because the McAwful campaign did not sign their paperwork properly, and the fact that 2 people witnessed McAwful’s signature (or in this case non-signature) and signed off on the non-signature as witnesses proves that the paperwork was filed fraudulently and thus McAwful must be removed from the ballot. I want to thank RPV and Rich Anderson for actually fighting the corruption and incompetence of Terry McAwful, and for actually fighting. This is a new RPV, where we are no longer go along get along, but instead are trying to take the fight to the Democrats. And what better way to do so than to publicly show what incompetents they truly are. McAwful should be removed from the ballot as it is clear that he filled out the paperwork illegally. What will a judge do? Who knows. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/aug/26/virginia-gop-sues-boot- terry-mcauliffe-ballot/?utm_source=Boomtrain&utm_medium=manual& Subscribeutm_campaign=newsalert&utm_content=newsalert&utm_term=newsalert&Past Issues Translate bt_ee=7vFlQTBRe0yBwymD0AybtJ7p9OGWR%2BlLdMEJqZvx0eZ Youngkin on the Campaign Trail.

    This issue brought to you by Virginia Governor: Old Dominion, New Election By Jacob Rubashkin JUNE 18, 2021 VOLUME 5, NO. 12 It has been a quiet year for elections so far, with a handful of special congressional races producing status quo outcomes that barely registered in the political consciousness. 2022 Governor Ratings But that quiet could be coming to a close as Virginia gears up for November, when it will host the most expensive gubernatorial contest Battleground in the state’s history.
