Why Blue States (except for two) are afraid of the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (FSTC),

Unions and control of who gets the money are the main reasons that 20 other states haven’t opted in the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (FSTC).

Also, here’s what scares them when the money goes to private schools. Private schools report higher graduation and achievement levels nationwide.

Only New York and Colorado have opted in from the blue states. Under the guidelines, individual taxpayers can receive a dollar-for-dollar federal income tax credit of up to $1,700 for donations made to Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs). These organizations then distribute the funds to families with incomes up to 300% of their area’s median gross income, helping them cover private tuition, tutoring, or specialized educational services.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis became the first Democrat to break ranks, opting his state into the program in January 2026. Polis dismissed critics at the time, telling local media he “would be crazy not to” join, noting the credit would empower parents to afford after-school or summer programs that were previously out of reach.

Next on the agenda, NY.

We see that the left didn’t learn from what Virginia tried. They now want to do another redistricting map to create more Democrat districts.

Unbelievable that they are saying that the gerrymandered black districts will remain. If New York succeeds again in forcing a new congressional map in 2026, it will be the fourth district change since 2021.

Blue AG’s and voter fraud.

MI Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel and Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon

Blue AG’s and voter fraud.

For some reason we have these Blue AG’s swearing up and down about how fair their elections are, but they refuse to allow the federal government access to federal election results. Latest is in Michigan. Why?

On April 17, Michigan’s lawless Attorney General, Dana Nessel, responded to Asst. AG Dhillon’s demand, in a letter, in which she arrogantly claimed that the state would not comply with the DOJ’s request, which, according to Harmeet Dhillon, they are entitled to gain access to under several federal statutes, including a specific transparency statute from the 1960 Civil Rights Act.

Commentary Corruption Democrat Gerrymander Leftist Virtue(!) Opinion Politics The Courts

How the courts can fix the fake Virginia ballot issue.

Spanberger tosses affordability out the window along with her popularity

How the courts can fix the fake Virginia ballot issue.

Short and sweet. The ballot wording may be the proof for the courts to overturn the fake ballot issue. It claimed to bringing fairness to Virginia. But changing the house seats from 6-5 to 10-1 is fair to who?

In closing. Virginia law and the state constitution require a 90‑day waiting period between final legislative approval and the public vote.

According to leftist AI.

The 90‑day requirement was not met for Tuesday’s Virginia redistricting amendment vote. Multiple courts and news outlets confirm that early voting began less than 90 days after the General Assembly approved the amendment, which is why the judge ruled the referendum “ineffective” and blocked certification.

Blue States Commentary Corruption Democrat Leftist Virtue(!) The Law

According to Leftists an assault weapon is anything that fires bullets.

More laws that don't work.

According to Leftists an assault weapon is anything that fires bullets.

Seems like the more laws leftists pass, the more shootings we have. Yesterday it was NJ. Today or tomorrow, it will be maybe Virginia. They have a house bill that bans hunting rifles and pistols. I’m sure that BB guns are also on that list.

Lately knives have been the choice of progressives when they go out looking to kill someone. Let’s see if the next law adds knives.

You make the call. Did Spanberger lie to voters during the campaign about how she would not pursue this gerrymandered redistricting?

Spanberger tosses affordability out the window along with her popularity

You make the call. Did Spanberger lie to voters during the campaign about how she would not pursue this gerrymandered redistricting?

What she said when she was running.
In 2019, Spanberger publicly criticized gerrymandering and positioned herself as a supporter of fair, non‑partisan redistricting.
According to reporting, she said that:

Gerrymandering is “detrimental to our democracy.”

Opposing it should be a “bipartisan priority.”

She supported Virginia’s independent redistricting commission, which voters approved in 2020.

These comments aligned her with a reform‑oriented, anti‑gerrymandering position.

And today.
Supporting a Democratic‑led redistricting amendment

Backing a plan that critics say would create a 10–1 Democratic congressional map

Arguing that the change is a temporary.

California. Stupid is as stupid does. Make India and South Korea rich again.

California is a dependent state, not a powerhouse

California. Stupid is as stupid does. Make India and South Korea rich again.

There was a time when California had 40 oil refineries. Did the oil run dry? No. The loons felt that it was better to import oil from the Bahamas, India, and South Korea. After this year there will be less than a dozen. All in the name of pollution. But yet they have 15 of the 25 most polluted cities. How about water?

California has hundreds of rivers. 20 ARE VERY LARGE. They only use five of those rivers for drinking, bathing, and gardening. Their largest water source is the Colorado River. And that river isn’t even in California. Sure it borders the state but doesn’t flow in it. And Energy?

California shut down its Nuclear Power Plants and coal industry. But almost 30% of their energy is imported from other states coal and Nuclear Power Plants. Don’t rely on wind and solar. They export that instead of using it to lower utility rates.

It is California that has become reliant on other states for such basic things as energy, gasoline, and water.

California has the resources, financial and natural, to be independent when it comes to those issues, but it does not have the will or the competence. That has left California as a dependent state, which helps explain why it is floundering.

You can’t read, write, or speak English but you can drive a truck?

So how does that happen? Federal law requires English proficiency for ALL CDL drivers. California has been blamed as the number one hub for illegal commercial driver licensing, with federal regulators blasting Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) administration for the practice.

Will we see California and other states stop this practice? Yeah right.

So why can’t California Progressives manage money?

So why can’t California Progressives manage money?

They get an extra billion, they spend two. Extra five billion they spend ten. Year in year out the revenue rises. And year in year out they spend more. Why? Simple answer is that it’s not their money is the way they look at it. So, what happens when the billionaires all flee? The middle class is already taxed to the max.

Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya says California’s proposed billionaire tax is accelerating an exodus of ultra-wealthy residents, a shift he argues will worsen and not solve the state’s budget deficit.

Palihapitiya, who has been tracking capital flight from the Golden State, said California has so far lost an estimated $1 trillion.
