GINSBERG: How Obama Created the Modern Democratic Party and Transformed America
Barack Obama succeeded. He promised his presidency would fundamentally transform America. And it did.
Understand, it gives me no pleasure to write these words. As a dyed-in-the-wool free marketeer and someone who is fiercely individualistic and innately skeptical of mass social movements, I much prefer the downsized presidential ambitions of Calvin Coolidge or Ronald Reagan. But credit where it is due: the election and presidency of Barack Obama unleashed forces within the United States that have permanently turned this country and its citizens in a leftward, statist direction.
Fairfax GOP Condemns Indictment of Former President
A Manhattan grand jury indicted former President Donald Trump on Thursday — a first in American history.
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin denounced what he called the indictment’s “manufactured basis” in a Thursday night tweet. “It is beyond belief that District Attorney Alvin Bragg has indicted a former President and current presidential candidate for pure political gain. Arresting a presidential candidate on a manufactured basis should not happen in America,” Youngkin wrote. “The left’s continued attempts to weaponize our judicial system erode people’s faith in the American justice system and it needs to stop.”
Dinesh D’Souza’s New Movie Showing in Fairfax This Week
The highly-anticipated documentary film 2000 Mules will be showing in Fairfax this week only, followed by a virtual premiere on Saturday, May 7. In 2000 Mules, documentary filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza thoroughly documents what he calls “ballot trafficking” on a scale that was large enough to alter the results of the 2020 election.
“The movie exposes the lies of the Democrats, RINOs, and Fake News who say it was the ‘most secure election in history.’ It was, perhaps, the least secure in history,” says former President Donald Trump.
Republicans Celebrate Juneteenth
Although Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation more than two years earlier, it wasn’t until this day in 1865 that Union General Gordon Granger was able to get to Galveston, Texas to let those remaining enslaved Americans know the Civil War was over and all slaves were free. The Republican Party will always be proudly connected to Juneteenth because of President Lincoln’s leadership, and we enthusiastically welcome its adoption as our newest national holiday after President Trump called for it last year.
We Love You, Rush, and We’ll Miss You Always!
On Ash Wednesday, we lost the great Rush Limbaugh. As we noted that day, “Rush has been a constant friend and source of inspiration to millions of listeners across the fruited plain.”

Return of the Swamp: Biden Reverses Nine Trump Executive Orders
President Joe Biden wasted no time filling the D.C. swamp upon his return to power. For four years President Donald Trump worked to drain the swamp. Now Biden, in an attempt to erase Trump’s accomplishments, will reverse that. Biden will take Washington back to the pre-Trump business-as-usual state of affairs by reversing nine of President Donald Trump’s executive orders.

Proclamation on Martin Luther King, Jr., Federal Holiday, 2021
On August 28, 1963, just a century after the Emancipation Proclamation, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led more than 200,000 Americans in a March on Washington in pursuit of jobs and freedom for all people. Standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, he called on Americans “to sit down together at the table of brotherhood” and meet our promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all.
