JSA (Panmunjom Korea) JSF Company Commander during the 1984 firefight with the KPA. Met him a few months earlier, a stand up guy. Open disclosure, I’m biased in favor of former JSA troopers (my old unit in the ROK).

To be sure. And his critics can’t call him a racist, either. Japanese surname means you can bitch slap liberals, and they can’t fight back. Decorated war hero on top of that, and a Trump supporter, and he’s certain to win, both in the primary, and against the failed Vice Presidential candidate.

Corey Stewart has shown that he is good at losing state-wide elections.

So maybe we should try someone else.

If we elect more Bush League Republicans it won’t matter what jersey they are wearing.

I don’t live in VA, but born there and may one day move back. I just hope the conservative base in VA can find a candidate they agree on so that the candidate has a chance of winning. Spreading the conservative vote over too many candidates will guarantee a liberal/DemocRAT winner.

We need someone to get ready to take out this Jones dimocommiecrat that recently won the Alabama seat. We need someone strong to get ready to take him on in the next election so that we do not have a dimocommie in that seat. It is a damned shame that this state stooped so low as to put the first dimocrat in office in many a decade. We must have a strong person to take him on. They will probably put Strange back up again. Mo Brooks ran a strong campaign against Moore. But, I heard Brooks had cancer. Don’t know what kind or seriousness of it.

Update to my post above:

Washington (CNN)Rep. Mo Brooks, who lost to Roy Moore in Alabama's GOP Senate primary, announced Wednesday he has prostate cancer and that losing the race "may have saved" his life.

Speaking from the House floor, Brooks said that he learned of his "high risk" prostate cancer in October. Appearing to hold back tears, the congressman talked about the night he called his wife to tell her the prognosis, when she was handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, and called it "one of loneliest nights apart in our 41-year marriage."

During his speech on the floor, Brooks said he had a "very good cure prognosis" and hoped to return to Washington following the recess next year. He said he will undergo surgery this Friday and a post-surgery medical procedure on December 20.

Brooks pushed his colleagues to take care of themselves and get regular cancer screenings.

"Don't ever ever take your health or family for granted," he said. "During the holidays enjoy your family because no one, no one is promised tomorrow."

We have a person. His name is Corey Stewart.

Won’t the dems call him an “Uncle Tojo” and a race traitor?

;-)

[Eleutheria5]

“race traitor” is the Klansman’s term for a white man who has sympathy for blacks. That would blow up in their faces. As for Uncle Tojo, that’s not a term that white men can use. Japanese Americans were the ones who suffered in WWII in the camps. If they don’t want to be radicalized, the gaijins can’t force them to be radicalized. All they can do is hate him, as a member of a non-radicalized minority, just as they hate Cuban Americans. But he can play the race card any time he likes, as a member of a victimized minority.

"Japanese Americans were the ones who suffered in WWII in the camps."

The basis for the authority of the WWII Japanese regime, was the Shinto doctrine of Japanese racial descent from Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess, united by the Goddess' representative on Earth, the Emperor. Accordingly, they claimed that all ethnic Japanese were religiously and racially bound to loyalty to the Emperor. That presented a unique security threat within the USA.

The corollary, was that all non-Japanese ethnicities were excluded from that divinely ordained community. While Japanese-Americans were collected into camps during the war, non Japanese in Japan were overwhelmingly expelled or killed (thousands being used for Nazi-like experiments and weapons development, such as by Unit 731). The Japanese had been on a program of racially-driven massacres and atrocities in Asia, such as the Rape of Nanking, and the largest use of biological weapons against civilians during the 20th century (sometimes called the Asian Holocaust), before war was declared against the US.

Immediately upon declaring war, all Americans were rounded up in Japan (Man, Woman and Child), and calls went out to Japanese in America to uphold their sacred duty to join the fight on behalf of the Emperor. Japanese Americans were sorely inconvenienced by having to live in camps in the US during the war, while Americans in Japan and prisoners of war were routinely starved to death and executed by the tens of thousands.
