Thank you for letting us be of service It's like having the FBI raid you right before you have a big election.

Isn't it ironic? Don't you think? As my latest column for the Daily Signal evokes the imagery of dear, sweet, retiring Alanis.

You have to say right before a midterm election to have your most powerful Democrat turn herself in.

We speak of Virginia, our flagship state's highest ranking, most powerful Democrat.

Louise Lucas, who for three decades has held court in both the House and the Senate, Has quite a skeleton's closet.

Apparently, Abdul El-Sayed not only takes foreign donations to his campaign, as our friends at Project Veritas or O'Keefe Media Group have proven, he takes a lot of them from members, high-ranking members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

You can say you disavow something, but at what point are we supposed to believe you or not believe you? I mean, we have to know, is this the stuff we're supposed to believe, or is this just campaign rhetoric? You know, boys will be boys.

Anyway, it is a Saturday morning, but that doesn't mean we don't have to tell you what went on last night.
