In a glaring display of...

Editor's note: ...misplaced priorities (probably intentional), Spanberger is defying a court order to resume burdensome background checks on private gun sales for Virginians exercising their Second Amendment rights, while her executive orders explicitly block state police from cooperating with ICE to detain and deport criminal illegal aliens. This policy shields violent offenders from accountability at the expense of everyday residents, who now face greater scrutiny for legal firearm transactions than convicted criminals who entered the country unlawfully. Spanberger's approach exemplifies a troubling pattern of treating law-abiding Virginians like suspects and illegal immigrants like protected constituents.

Spanberger Advances The Soft Coup Against America

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is advancing quickly among Democrats, but the Constitution itself has the tools for defeating it.

By Marly Hornik | May 24, 2026

Advancing the latest "progressive" scheme to upend our Constitution and make the people serve the government, Governor Abigail Spanberger has signed a bill forcing Virginia to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC). This ruse to overturn the Electoral College, a critical safeguard that ensures equal presidential representation for all Americans, is now just 48 votes away from national implementation.

The coalition seeks to force the presidential selection to be decided by popular vote alone. This would favor Democrats in two important ways, which is why Spanberger has speedily signed on. First, controlling the vote in America's most densely populated cities would be a near-guaranteed national victory. Replete with Tammany Hall-style power dynamics and political horse-trading, these cities are already Democrat strongholds.

Second, with the SAVE America Act stalled, Democrats will keep peddling the lie that voter ID disenfranchises minorities, while flooding election offices everywhere possible with mail-in ballots of uncertain origin.

The NPVIC says that states collectively holding at least 270 Electoral College votes must pass laws assigning their Electoral College votes to the popular vote winner. As of now, 18 states and the District of Columbia have done this, for a total of 222 votes. None require photo ID at any point in the voting process, and all went for Kamala Harris.

According to the coalition website, "Six additional states with 65 electoral votes (Arizona, Michigan, New Hampshire, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) are especially promising places for obtaining the 48 electoral votes needed before 2028."

With the coalition falling hard on political lines, the situation is troubling. All six of their targeted states have gubernatorial elections this November, with proven Bill of Rights abusers like Jocelyn Benson of Michigan favored to win. Although one or even both houses in some states have voted to join the popular vote compact at various times, the governor's signature has been the greatest hurdle. If the opportunity to codify this popular-vote scheme is seized by incoming administrations, a permanent woke regime in America that ends limited government and equality under the law is a real risk.

There is a way to stop this race toward totalitarianism. At the time of the founding, James Madison argued in Federalist 43 that "the minority of citizens may become a majority of persons, by the accession of alien residents, of a casual concourse of adventurers, or of those whom the Constitution of the State has not admitted to the rights of suffrage..."

He warned during the Virginia ratification debates that states, if left to their own devices in administering federal elections, could betray the agreement, subvert the national government, make their own treaties, and undo the virtues of unified national defense. This concern gave rise to the Elections Clause, which grants Congress authority over the states regarding the time, place, and manner of federal elections.

The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment went further. These men had learned the brutal cost of maintaining the Union in the face of dissolution and devised methods to prevent any State from seceding again.

Congress addressed the issue of betrayal by electoral fraud head-on in the second section of the Fourteenth Amendment. This section penalizes States that infringe on the voting rights of their qualified citizens. Debates at the time made clear this had nothing to do with race; it is a guard against disloyalty. Using a ratio of injured voters to the total number of qualified voters, the state is reapportioned.

Editor's note: This is what should be expected as with Spanberger in Virginia with the unchecked rise of female-centric policies and feminist ideology that has proven corrosive to civilizational stability. By empowering women's preferences for hypergamy ("marrying up"), economic independence, and emotional governance over traditional family structures, America and Europe have suffered collapsing birth rates, epidemic divorce, fatherless homes, and weakened social cohesion. What was once a male-driven order built on competition, provision, and long-term planning has been replaced by risk-averse, safety-obsessed institutions that prioritize feelings, equity, and short-term gratification. These outcomes are now visible in demographic winter, cultural decay, and eroding national resolve across America. History suggests civilizations that hand decisive influence to female voting patterns and values rarely endure and Americans, if they are paying attention, are seeing this in Virginia. The evidence is clear...

Malcolm X sharply criticized white liberals, arguing that they were more dangerous than white conservatives. He stated, "The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful, more hypocritical," accusing them of posing as friends and benefactors while using Black Americans as "political footballs" for their own power. He famously compared white liberals to foxes and conservatives to wolves, warning: "The white liberals are foxes... The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the 'smiling' fox." Malcolm X went as far as calling the white liberal "the worst enemy to America and the Black man," condemning them for controlling the "Negro revolution" through trickery, tokenism, and co-opting civil rights leaders.
