Earle-Sears’ campaign bus bursts into flames days before election for Virginia governor
The campaign bus for the Republican gubernatorial nominee in Virginia caught on fire just five days before the pivotal election.
Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears confirmed the incident in a post on social media Thursday but offered few details.
‘I’m thinking of the Lt. Governor and her team after this scary incident.’
“While en-route to an event, our campaign bus caught fire,” she posted. “Everyone is safe. Thank you to the first responders who got to the scene quickly — we are so grateful for you.”
Her Democratic competitor, Abigail Spanberger, posted about the incident as well.
“I’m relieved to hear Winsome Earle-Sears and her team are safe after her campaign bus caught on fire this afternoon,” she wrote in a Facebook post. “I’m grateful to our first responders for their quick action — and I’m thinking of the Lt. Governor and her team after this scary incident.”
Authorities have not released any details yet about the incident.
WCAV-TV published a photograph of the fire that was sent to them by a viewer. A second photo from the scene shows that the bus was mostly destroyed by the fire.
A spokesperson with the Earle-Sears team said first responders were still at the scene at about 3 p.m. local time.

Most polling has shown Spanberger with a lead in the race, but Earle-Sears has gained some ground and closed some of the gap as Election Day approaches.
Spanberger might have given Earle-Sears an opportunity to persuade voters into the Republican column after the Democrat refused to retract her endorsement of Democratic attorney general candidate Jay Jones, who texted death wishes against a Republican and his children.

JK Rowling crushes Glamour UK magazine for awarding ‘Women of the Year’ to 9 trans-identifying males
Many are criticizing Glamour UK magazine over its choice for “Women of the Year,” but popular author J.K. Rowling is leading the pack.
The magazine is giving the award to nine transgender-identifying men, including a DJ, an author, an actor and TikTok creator, a chief executive, and several people identifying as models.
‘They’re misogynistic bullies who borrowed our clothes, put on some lipstick, and then took everything we earned. We are not costumes.’
“As trans rights face increasing threat in the U.K., Glamour honours nine of the community’s most ground-breaking voices at this year’s Women of the Year Awards,” reads the justification from the magazine. “From fashion and music to charity and activism work, these trailblazers work tirelessly to empower, uplift and celebrate trans voices.”
Rowling posted her dissent from her social media account Thursday.
“I grew up in an era when mainstream women’s magazines told girls they needed to be thinner and prettier,” Rowling wrote. “Now mainstream women’s magazines tell girls that men are better women than they are.”
Others similarly criticized the total erasure of biological women from an award for women.
“They’re not women. They’re not trailblazers. They’re misogynistic bullies who borrowed our clothes, put on some lipstick, and then took everything we earned. We are not costumes. And we are not silent,” writer Virginia Kruta of the Daily Wire responded.
“Glamour is a magazine for young girls. It was toxic enough when I was a teenager, pushing unrealistic beauty expectations. I can’t imagine what young girls must be thinking now, you hold men up as ‘Women of the Year’ erasing women and girls, an absolute disgrace,” another response reads.
“Yes, yes, they got a bunch of men with mental illness to pose for their womens magazine,” a popular response reads. “We understand that you think the best women are actually men. Thankfully the world is starting to wake up to that nonsense.”
The magazine’s social media account replied to Rowling with a mocking message.
“Better luck next year Jo x,” Glamour UK wrote.
