What has West Virginia’s governor, Jim Justice, been doing lately?
The Governor has had his wages garnished:

Let the pandering begin: the leaders of the WV Trump Party get out their dog whistles to defend their party’s namesake
It’s all there: Soros-backed prosecutors, Stalin’s secret police, third world banana republic stuff, violent thugs roaming the streets, weaponizing the criminal code for political purposes, anarchy and corruption, political prosecution, a leftist Manhattan DA, and obviously, a gross miscarriage of justice
From WV District 2 Representative, Alex Mooney:
This is outrageous if true. The leftist Manhattan DA resembles Stalin’s secret police attacking only Republicans and letting crime explode. Harassing President Trump to distract from their own failures is the left’s plan. https://t.co/WYYZpFA9C9

Some thoughts on whether West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey will actually run for U.S. Senate
Last fall, WV’s AG Patrick Morrisey hinted that he would soon be announcing that he was running for U.S. Senate. Here’s the Fox News online’s headline for November 15, 2022:
'BIG NEWS COMING': West Virginia AG Morrisey hints at 2024 Senate run, points to likely 'new position in 2025'
And here’s . . .
With ONLY 15 months left until the WV primary, the Republican race for the U.S. Senate nomination is heating up
Alex Mooney is already attacking Jim Justice and WV media, remembering the income generated from the McKinley-Mooney contest, want to know “when will the attack ads begin?”
Earlier today, from Alex Mooney:
Big RINO Jim Justice can’t win a truly contested Republican primary. He’s a big supporter of Biden’s $1.2 trillion non-infrastructure bill and proposed the largest tax increase in the history of WV.

Guns and West Virginia
February 14, 2023 (The day after another mass shooting)
Guns: our politicians love using them
Figuratively
West Virginia State Treasurer Riley Moore:
Your financial information belongs to YOU, not the financial institutions colluding with anti-gun activists to create back-door gun registries.
Every state should follow our lead and protect the financial privacy of citizens . . .
Forget taxes, critical race theory, and destroying public education, what West Virginia’s Republican Party most cares about are guns
You probably saw this article in today’s Wheeling Intelligencer:
An unsuccessful bill that caused infighting among Republican lawmakers four years ago to allow college students to carry concealed weapons on campus is back, this time being considered by the West Virginia Senate. https://t.co/94OG76g5me pic.twitter.com/4ON6sjisJz

A question: Why did WV’s attorney general, Patrick Morrisey, use the state and its resources to defend Donald Trump?
Likely answer: To show his devotion to all-things-Trump; Morrisey also knows that no one will hold him accountable
From “GOP attorneys general back Trump in court fight over Mar-a-Lago documents,” by Andrew Jeong and Amy B Wang, in Wednesday’s Washington Post:
Texas’s Ken Paxton and 10 other GOP state attorneys general came to the defense of former president Donald Trump on Tuesday in his legal fight over documents the FBI seized last month, . . .
