Woman Who Gave Finger to Trump’s Motorcade Wins Virginia Local Election

Juli Briskman, the patriot who was fired after flipping the bird at President Donald Trump’s motorcade, has won a seat on a county board of supervisors in Virginia. She defeated Republican incumbent Suzanne Volpe with 52 percent of the vote.

Briskman was enjoying her daily bike ride in October 2017 and was photographed making the obscene gesture as Trump’s motorcade went by. Her viral moment wasn’t planned, her daily routine was interrupted when the president’s motorcade went by and she reacted instinctively and spontaneously by giving him the finger. 

I can certainly understand Briskman’s reaction, if I was enjoying my morning cup of coffee at McDonald’s and Trump walked in with his Secret Service detail in tow my visceral reaction would be to flip him off.

Briskman told her employer what happened after the photo went viral and was asked to leave her government contracting job or face termination. She fought her unjust termination, sued and won a severance claim. The political novice demonstrated the same drive and energy in her campaign against Volpe as she did in fighting her unjust termination, therefore it’s not surprising that she won.


Briskman’s victory was part of a major victory for Democrats in Virginia, on Tuesday they flipped both the state Senate and the House of Delegates, giving them control of both the governor’s office and the legislature for the first time in more than two decades.

It’s very cathartic to flip off Trump, and very euphoric for the Democrats to gain control of Virginia, but it will be so much cathartic and euphoric for all patriotic Americans if we kick Trump out of office next year.

Donald Trump’s Wretched Statement on Charlottesville

A motley crew of racists (Neo-Nazis, KKK members, white supremacists and skinheads) numbering in the thousands descended on the sleepy college town of Charlottesville, Virginia and wreaked havoc.

The racist invaders came prepared for battle, they had helmets and shields and were swinging sticks and clubs and hurling rocks and bottles.

A small contingent of professional leftist counter-protesters eagerly joined the battle, matching the racists blow for blow. But the majority of counter-protesters were peacefully bearing witness against the invading army of bigots.

One person was killed and many others were injured when a vehicle deliberately sped into a group of counter-protesters.

At such a crucial juncture in history we look to our president to put things in perspective and on behalf of the public condemn racism and intolerance in no uncertain terms.

This is what the President of the United States said about the mayhem going in Charlottesville, the same person who never missed an opportunity to condemn former President Barack Obama for failing to name the evil of Islamic terrorism by its name:

“We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence, on many sides. On many sides. It`s been going on for a long time in our country. Not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. This has been going on for a long, long time.”

Trump didn`t condemn the sickening outrage in the strongest possible terms, his generic comments didn`t call evil by its name: White supremacist violence, and intolerance.

Our execrable president has a history of making racist comments and playing footsie with unabashed racists, and once again he has failed our democracy miserably.

Let me state in no uncertain terms, Donald Trump is a racist, and we must expunge this cancer by any means necessary.
