(Martin Walsh) Democratic delegates of the Virginia General Assembly refused to applaud newly sworn-in Virginia GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin when he spoke about defending parental rights in his first speech before the legislature.
by Martin Walsh, January 18th, 2022
Youngkin pledged to work with Republicans and Democrats to “usher in a sweeping vision of change” for the Commonwealth.
“We are all part of team Virginia,” Youngkin said. “We know on some issues there’ll be deep disagreements. But I believe this chamber is big enough to talk through our differences.”
Republicans rose to applaud and cheer the declaration, while the Democrats remained seated on the right side of the assembly hall.
WATCH:
Youngkin didn’t waste time on his first official day in office over the weekend.
The Republican governor signed 11 executive orders and directives after being sworn in over the weekend.
“My fellow Virginians, I come to this moment, and to this office, knowing we must bind the wounds of division. Restore trust. Find a common cause for the common good. And strengthen the spirit of Virginia. And to be clear this spirit of Virginia is not about government deciding for us what is best for us,” Youngkin added.
“But rather reflecting the will of the people. Defending and protecting the rights guaranteed by our constitution. And a government and elected leaders going to work for We the People. Make no mistake, Virginians remain resilient with that tenacity and grit and undeterred hope and optimism to press through these challenges. We must venture forward because a new and better day is ahead of us,” he continued.
As noted by the Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra, below are 11 executive actions Youngkin took:
–Executive Order Number One delivers on his Day One promise to restore excellence in education by ending the use of divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory, in public education.
–Executive Order Number Three delivers on his Day One promise to restore integrity and confidence in the Parole Board of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
