There’s Community Service And There’s Community Service

The idea of community service as a penalty for a criminal action is to impose a penalty of service to the community. Theoretically it allows someone to contribute to the community in some way to atone for their crime. Well, it doesn’t always work that way.

On Friday, The Federalist reported:

Democrat Jay Jones has found himself in hot water during the final weeks of his campaign to become Virginia’s top law enforcement officer. The closer to Election Day it gets, the scandals seem to keep piling up.

At around the same time he was fantasizing about assassinating Virginia’s former Republican House speaker and wishing death upon his children in 2022, Jones had a truly remarkable run-in with the state’s criminal-justice system. According to recent reports, the Democrat AG candidate is now under investigation for a 2022 reckless driving incident.

By way of background, Jones was clocked going 116 mph in a 70 mph stretch of highway and charged with reckless driving. While other defendants facing the same charge as he faced — with the “same initial hearing date as Jones” — reportedly got jail sentences, Jones got away with a fine and 1,000 hours of community service. (These defendants were even caught driving more slowly than Jones was, according to Cardinal News.)

Supposedly, Jones did that community service in 2023 — 500 hours at “Meet Our Moment” and 500 hours at the Virginia chapter of the NAACP. The first tranche of hours has caused considerable controversy and may be at the heart of the aforementioned criminal investigation.

Meet Our Moment is Jones’ own political action committee, founded to train Democrats to run for office. His hours were certified by an adviser of his, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported. As noted by National Review, social media posts revealed Jones crisscrossed Virginia campaigning for Democrats in 2023, raising questions about whether such activities were counted as part of the 500 hours of “community service” he purportedly conducted with the group.

Perhaps equally interesting, however, is Jones’ “community service” time with the Virginia wing of the NAACP.

Unbelievable. And this man is running for Attorney General of Virginia. This is the equivalent of calling washing your car and cleaning your house community service. All of the law enforcement involved in this charade need to be investigated and held accountable. Aren’t the Democrats the ones who always remind us that ‘no one is above the law’?

Never Get Into A Battle Of Wits With J D Vance!

J D Vance is one of the most media savvy Vice-Presidents we have ever had. I wonder how much longer the mainstream media will allow him to come onto their shows and verbally annihilate their left-wing ‘newscasters.’

On Friday, PJ Media posted an article about J D Vance’s latest handling of the media.

The article reports:

It had to be deliberate: JD Vance is simply too smart and too politically savvy for it to be accidental. (And in just a few paragraphs, we’ll reveal his chess move that — if successful — will end the 2025 government shutdown with a complete and total surrender by the Democratic Party.)

Either way, the pivotal moment is just 24 hours away: Saturday, Oct. 18, the day of the nationwide “No Kings” protests. That’s when we’ll find out if Vance’s bold PR strategy succeeded. (More on that in just a sec.)

But we begin with one simple question: Why the heck did Vance needlessly interject himself in the Young Republican group-text scandal?

If you haven’t been paying attention, three days ago, Politico leaked seven months of Telegram text messages between Young Republican leaders from Arizona, New York, Kansas, and Vermont. Lots of the content was explicitly NSFW.

The contents were horrible. The young people involved are totally ignorant and cruel.

The article at PJ Media continues:

When the “scandal” broke, the Young Republicans had three PR options:

    1. Issue a sniveling, groveling, all-encompassing apology and beg for forgiveness;
    2. Issue a limited apology;
    3. Offer no apology.

The Young Republicans chose option #1 — and they did so with gusto. The Kansas chapter of Young Republicans has already disbanded, and most of the GOP establishment sang from the same hymn sheet as Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.)

The article explains what J D Vance did with the information:

He leveraged the “outrage” over the Young Republicans texting story to shine a bright national spotlight on the Jay Jones scandal that’s brewing in Virginia.

In Virginia’s attorney general’s race, exactly one month before Election Day, the National Review broke news about the Democratic attorney general nominee, Jay Jones, fantasizing about murdering his political enemies — along with their children.
