The Democrats' Hypocritical Objections
to Texas GOP Redistricting Plan

Nothing brings out political hypocrisy more than a good old-fashioned gerrymander brawl. Both sides do it. Both sides pretend that it's absolutely the worst thing in the history of the world — until they want to do the same thing. Now, there's a Texas-sized hullabaloo brewing in the Lone Star State that promises to not only be gigantically impactful politically, but entertaining as hell. Last month, Donald Trump suggested that it would be really nice if Texas redrew its congressional districts to give the Republicans in Washington a better shot at holding the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. Texas Governor Greg Abbott politely obliged

What this article tells me is Democrats know they are already over-represented in the House of Representatives and disenfranchising people with their current gerrymandered districts in CA, NY and IL, in particular. And they are colluding to pad those numbers. CA votes roughly 40% Republican in Statewide races, so they should have close to a 40% representation in the House of Representatives.

Gerrymandering still exists because both sides benefit from the corruption of it. As we know, both sides are irredeemably corrupt. Maybe a better system would be a grid system with the square size determined by population density. You vote in your grid and you know where its boundaries are. There must be a better system out there.

As a Texas Republican, I understand what is going on. I'm not sure I like it, but as mentioned here, other states such as California, New York and Illinois have already gerrymandered away Republican seats. Wisconsin was ready to do it as well until a surprise state Supreme Court decision ended that plan (the legislature has at least one house with a Republican majority). 2030 will probably bring another 2-3 seats to Texas and Florida with New York, Illinois, and probably California losing seats as well as other "blue" states. From the proposed maps I see, my area will probably remain Republican, but I will probably move into a new district. Too bad. I like my current Congresscritter and it's the first time in 30+ years I had a Republican Congresscritter!

The problem with the Democrats 'Threatening' to redraw districts is that they have ALREADY drawn the districts to guarantee (as much as possible) their majorities. Reminds me of the skits by Monty Python in Life of Brian. The threat to a condemned man that 'you're only making it worse' is a joke.

As President Reagan intoned Clint Eastwood: "Go ahead, make my day!" They can have a tantrum outside of Texas for a bit, but they WILL return and have to face the music. They have pulled this stunt many, many times but it always ends up the same way-- they play to the press and end up backing down and doing what the Governnor asks them to do... disucss and Vote. And they are OUTNUMBERED by the Republicans who are infighting over who is a "True Texan" but bullies with Millionaire bucks attempting to take down those who don't vote like THEY want. It's really silly and unseemly like a little kid who says "If you don't do what I want, I won't be your friend!" It started with the Speaker's race in the Legislature, and has never stopped like spoiled brats instead of working together they squabble among themselves and the money people's surrogates. Eventually, this may end up working!

A radioactive wasp nest has been discovered near a former nuclear weapon manufacturing facility in South Carolina. The nest was found by workers at the Savannah River Site in Aiken County, according to a report from the Department of Energy. According to reports, the contaminated nest was found on July 3, just before 2 p.m., by Radiological Control Operations workers during routine inspections. Located on a stanchion near a tank in the F-Area tank farm, the nest registered a staggering 100,000 disintegrations per minute (dpm), a level described as “moderately high” radiation. Workers promptly sprayed the nest to eliminate the wasps, which were then bagged and disposed of as radiological waste.

The House is in recess now, but that hasn't stopped silly Democrats like Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) from lame attacks on Republicans and President Donald Trump. It's all they know how to do since, as former Democratic operative Dan Turrentine noted, they don't have any agenda.

Man, Chuck Schumer is one gloomy guy. I honestly don’t know how the Senate minority leader (D-NY) gets out of bed in the morning when his world seems to be permanently shrouded in darkness. One can’t help but think of Eeyore, the pessimistic, monotone donkey from the children's classic, "Winnie-the-Pooh." Faced with good news, the New Yorker is able to instantly turn it into something sinister, with things lurking in the shadows. That’s exactly what he did Wednesday when speaking about the new GDP numbers, which, as our Nick Arama reported, “shattered expectations.” But that didn’t bring a smile to Chuck’s face:

Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) has released graphic photos of the victim of a violent attack in Cincinnati after a local city councilwoman claimed she "begged for that beatdown." In a social media post, Moreno went on to point out that the local prosecutor let the assailants out on just $400 bond. He also hit Rep. Greg Landsman, a House Democrat who represents the area, for "posting about Ukraine" while remaining silent on the incident. The victim, who is being referred to only by her first name at this time, was downtown during the annual Jazz Festival to attend a birthday party.

The inability to get Trump, for lack of a better term, reared its head again, as the legacy media and the panicans were left shattered and bloody over the latest economic report. They were lusting for a recession. They were hoping the tariffs would increase prices—neither of those things happened. Instead, what we got was a robust report of three percent economic growth in the second quarter. The experts were wrong again. (Snip) The New York Times should take a bow for the most Soviet-style headline about the news: “U.S. Economy Slowed in First Half of 2025 as Tariffs Scrambled Data.”

So, who’s going to jail? Who’s being questioned? FBI Director Kash Patel revealed today that mountains of Russian collusion documents were found in burn bags. Thousands of documents were discovered, including the annex to the Durham report, which was an investigation initiated by former Attorney General William Barr regarding the origins of the Russian collusion hoax. That document alone is the subject of a declassification process between the CIA and the FBI. And there’s a reason why whoever set this burn bag protocol in motion would want these files destroyed: Sources told Fox News that the material involved had evidence from foreign intelligence sources

Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman and Democratic nominee, is projected to handily win the November general election with 50% of likely voters in the latest survey, released Tuesday by Zenith Research/Public Progress Solutions. Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has decided to continue his comeback tour after his embarrassing June primary loss to 33-year-old Mamdani, came in a distant second at 22%, while the GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa pulled 13%.

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has privately discussed the idea of running for political office next year in Tennessee, according to two people who have spoken directly with him about it. If Hegseth were to follow through on the discussions, it would amount to a major leadership shake-up at the department that oversees the American military and millions of federal employees. The Defense Department bars civilian employees from running for political office, meaning Hegseth would have to resign to do so. In a statement, Sean Parnell, the Pentagon’s chief spokesman, said, “Hegseth’s focus remains solely on serving under President Trump.”

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I’d like to talk about illegal immigration, but specifically about the new president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum. She’s been very vocal about U.S. policy toward Mexico. For example, she said she would offer legal counsel to her citizens that were here illegally that were picked up, she thought, unfairly or too violently by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.She also said that the United States had no business taxing remittances—that is money that Mexican nationals here, for the most part illegally, send back to Mexico. She said, “Do not come into Mexican national ground if you’re going after the cartels.”

Denver is in financial trouble. They ran a $50 million deficit this year, which is projected to balloon to $200 million next year. Denver’s expenses are systematically exceeding its revenues. Real-world entities would address this problem with a combination of (1) increasing their revenues and (2) decreasing their expenses. But Denver is not a real-world entity. It’s a government entity. It plans to do what governments do in government-world: It plans to borrow money. A lot of it. They’re putting on the ballot a bond proposal amounting to almost a billion dollars. By the time the bonds are paid off with interest years down the road, it would amount to nearly two billion.
