    Virginia's far left Governor Ralph "Blackface" Northam's attempt to use an executive order to remove the statue of General Robert E. Lee on Monument Avenue in Richmond has been blocked by a temporary restraining order from Circuit Judge Bradley Cavedo. The order will be in effect for ten days to give time for a full hearing on the merits. Judge Cavedo cited an agreement by the state in the deed for the land on which the monument sits in which the commonwealth (state) "guaranteed . . . to faithfully guard and affectionately protect" the statue.

    Comrade Governor Blackface has indicated he might just ignore the court order.

    This is the act of a dictator to talk about disregarding both the law and a court order to carry out a divisive and racist political project. Hopefully, the judge has the 'nads to hold Governor Blackface in contempt and jail him if he tries to do it. Lock him up!
