Virginia Planning Commission Votes Down Pledge of Allegiance, Calls It “Unnecessary”

A public commission in Virginia has voted down a proposal to add the Pledge of Allegiance to its official meeting agenda. The Winchester Planning Commission rejected the measure in a 4–2 vote last week, declining to incorporate the pledge into its bylaws. Some commissioners described the tradition as “pageantry” and “unnecessary,” sparking debate among residents who view the pledge as a symbol of unity and patriotism. The proposal was introduced by Commission Chairman Beau Correll, who argued it would reaffirm shared civic values at the start of public meetings. Correll joins Alicia Summers to weigh whether to reintroduce the measure, as the vote has fueled broader discussion about polarization and the role of longstanding civic traditions in local government.

Why They Hate Erika Kirk

🎙️Public figures often begin with widespread goodwill, much like Oprah Winfrey, Rosie O’Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres once did in different phases of their careers. Over time, perception can shift. When a leader or personality fails to recognize how they are being seen or how narratives are forming around them, momentum can reverse quickly. In the case of Erika Kirk, critics argue that early support gave way to skepticism as questions about tone, transparency and leadership style surfaced. Whether fair or not, public image is fragile. Once audiences sense disconnect between message and conduct, affection can turn into scrutiny almost overnight.

CARTEL KINGPIN DOWN: U.S.-Backed Strike on ‘El Mencho’ IGNITES Chaos Across Mexico

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says U.S. intelligence supported Mexican forces in the operation that killed cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, a top target accused of trafficking fentanyl into the U.S. The takedown of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel boss sparked violent retaliation across multiple Mexican states, with reports of torched vehicles and blocked highways.

Aliens Living in Earth’s Oceans? Congressman Tim Burchett Drops BOMBSHELL

Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett joins The Matt Gaetz Show to discuss explosive claims about unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), including reports from high-ranking military officials suggesting possible underwater alien bases on Earth.

Burchett points to advanced objects tracked moving at extraordinary speeds beneath the ocean, far beyond known human capabilities—and calls for greater transparency from the federal government.

Plus, Burchett reacts to a major Supreme Court of the United States decision striking down key tariff authority used by Donald Trump, and what it means for the economy and Congress moving forward.

Will the government finally reveal what it knows about UAPs?
