Socialism destroys every little thing it touches. My household lived it in Jamaica with empty grocery cabinets, no jobs, and no cash.
It failed there, and it’ll fail right here too. pic.twitter.com/JjEkNKqY4j

VA Democratic governor race: Spanberger leads in polls however Sears seems to be closing hole
What we all know: This morning there’s a brand new ballot out within the Virginia’s governor’s race.
Democrat Abigail Spanberger leads Republican Winsome Earle-Sears by seven factors within the race for Virginia governor, in keeping with a brand new Roanoke School ballot launched Tuesday morning.
The survey from the college’s Institute for Coverage and Opinion Analysis exhibits 46% of possible voters are backing Spanberger in comparison with 39% for Earle-Sears.
The ballot exhibits that 14% stay undecided, and 1% assist one other candidate.
Dig deeper: The race has been tightening since Might, when Spanberger held a 17-point benefit.
“Many Republicans appear to have ‘come house’ to Earle-Sears for the reason that Might ballot, however Spanberger’s voters are barely extra smitten by voting and extra sure of their vote,” mentioned Harry Wilson, interim director of the Institute.
Sears can be an excellent governor for Virginia. Spanberger is a liberal swamp Democrat.
