Virginia: When Identity Groups Collide
By Clarice Feldman
For decades, lacking a coherent and acceptable broad-based platform, the Democrats have cobbled together their victories by playing the identity politics game. Reaching out to different groups, playing on their sense of victimization and oppression, dissolving the very bonds of civic cohesion, and pretending to a savior role for each group. Of course, if people thought about it, no one is less oppressed than a modern-day American, and the special interests and pleadings of these disparate groups often collide and conflict, but that seemingly passes beyond their ken or notice. This week, in contrast to the unifying State of the Union address by the President which was coherent, consistent, and uplifting, the three top officials in Virginia -- all Democrats -- are engaged in a bloody battle which looks to disunite the Democratic women from the black voters of the state. It’s not helping the media either, especially not the Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos himself, embroiled in a marital scandal and fight with David Pecker, the owner of the National Enquirer. (Who can beat the NY Post’s front page on Friday “Bezos Exposes Pecker�)
The imbroglio in Virginia has inspired lots of humorous digs on the right, not the least of which is the rewriting of the motto “Virginia is for Lovers†into “Virginia is for Losers†as indeed the party is now a laughingstock with no good way out of the dilemma.

Was the red engine on the left-hand track too close to the switch? I know almost nothing about the rails, so I don't know what I'm looking at there, other than the obvious collision and the camera engine appeared to be heading to the right-hand track, away from the red engine..

And Pelosi says it Won't Hurt The Brand.
And the Dems have sunk So Low, she May even be right.

The opposing train was probably supposed to stop BEFORE the switch, so that the train (with the camera) could enter the siding first.
But looks like the opposing train "ran the stop signal", and -- you see what happened next.

Thanks! I know little to nothing about the rails, but common sense told me the red engine wasn't where it belonged, and appeared to be too close, or actually entering the switch.
Also, all we saw in the vid are the engines. Who knows what cars were behind them?
