Among the crowded field of gubernatorial candidates for Governor of Virginia is Sergio de la Peña, who calls himself the “conservative colonel.” De la Peña, who has served in the Army, was an early supporter of Donald Trump, back when he was merely a candidate. He was part of the Trump transition team for the Department of Defense before serving as the Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Western Hemisphere Affairs. De la Peña was born in Mexico and legally immigrated to the United States as a child. It’s because of his inspiring story of the American dream, as well as such accomplishments in leadership, de la Peña is confident he has what it takes to win.

Largely unreported in corporate media, last week Chinese fighters apparently simulated sinking a U.S. carrier in an attack. On Jan. 23, according to intel sources, cockpit chatter highlighted a command to simulate targeting the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier group.
China has been in news over sporadic border clashes with India and a flyby of Taiwan on the day of President Biden’s inauguration.
