When Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) decided to start a war over redistricting, he did so without considering any of the unintended consequences. After Texas drew a congressional map that is still less gerrymandered than those in California, Illinois, and elsewhere, Democrats had a chance to de-escalate (Snip) The thing is, when you start an arms race, you'd better be sure you can outproduce your competition. That's where things are quickly going off the rails for Newsom and his party. According to President Donald Trump, Missouri is now moving to redistrict, and they are one of several red states expected to join the party.

The Texas redraw has precedent since the Democrats did it there in the 1990's. Plus, Texas has millions of new residents over the past 4-5 years. CA has lost a few million and likely to lose 4 Congressional seats after the 2030 census. I will bet they over play their hand which will result in the citizens changing the Constitution with a Proposition that will restore some semblance of moderation. After all, the Democrats look to reduce the Republicans to less than 10% in the state for Federal Representation. It will be SO lopsided it will be viewed by most as extreme and an attack on Democracy.

I live in Texas and even in my home state I am disgusted by the maps which are drawn to permit political aims instead of natural geographic boundaries. I am willing to let the cards fall where they may but drawing lines to make sure minorities receive favored representation is simply wrong and definitely unwise.

The blue states have used gerrymandering for years, so they can redistrict away, it won't change things much. On the other hand, the red states can really change the numbers by redistricting.

Democrats have been getting away with doing this forever. It's time to fight fire with fire. It's the only fair thing to do.

President Donald Trump's frustration with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has been ongoing and completely justifiable. He's taken to calling Powell "Too Late" because of his reluctance to cut interest rates. But, now, finally, Powell has dropped some broad hints that a rate cut may be on the horizon, (Snip) The reaction from the stock market was great, as the Dow Jones soared to its highest point ever. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied to an all-time high Friday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled the central bank could begin easing monetary policy next month.

Over time, we have learned that when Democrats and the left have nothing left to fight with, they take their issues into court. They shop whatever they would like to force onto the American people around to a left-leaning Democrat-appointed judge to get the outcome they want. They couldn't stop President Donald Trump's return to the White House, so they figure they will stop anything he tries to do through the court system. It literally took an act of Congress to put the brakes on activist judges, and a few of them continue to issue edicts. But now, Supreme Court Justices have had enough and are speaking out.

As reported earlier, in a huge blow to Letitia James and Biden’s prosecutors, a New York Appeals Court threw out the massive civil fraud penalty against President Trump on Thursday. New York Attorney General Letitia James lashed out after a New York Appeals Court threw out the $515 million judgement against Trump. James said she is going to appeal the decision so she can continue to go after Trump. “The First Department today affirmed the well-supported finding of the trial court: Donald Trump, his company, and two of his children are liable for fraud,” Letitia James said.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer dropped a bombshell on Thursday when he revealed that Ian Sams, the former White House spokesperson who spent years defending Joe Biden’s mental acuity, admitted under oath that he interacted with Biden only twice during his entire tenure. Comer said the revelations cast serious doubt on who was really calling the shots inside the Biden White House. “Wow. That was probably the most informative transcribed interview we’ve had thus far,” Comer told reporters after Sams’ testimony. “I’ll give Mr. Sams credit — he answered our questions. And one of the most shocking things to me is… he communicated with Joe Biden two times.

Steve Descano, commonwealth's attorney for Fairfax County, Virginia, George Soros lackey, and friend to violent illegals.

The bloody results of the Biden administration's open borders just keep getting worse. Especially heinous crimes like the murders of Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, and Joselyn Nungary have shocked the nation. They were completely preventable, and all three should still be alive. But the policies of blue states that encourage and normalize illegal immigrants are being felt in other ways as well. One of those polices is issuing driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, many of whom can't speak or read English. One recent incident is now highlighting just how dangerous this is, and the Department of Transportation has launched an investigation.

A New York appeals court Thursday threw out the massive $464 million judgment dealt to President Trump after he was found liable at a civil trial for business fraud. The Appellate Division, First Department overturned the whopping fine in the case in which Trump, 78, was found to have fraudulently inflated his net worth by billions of dollars over a decade to get better loan and insurance terms. Trump would have had to pay a total of more than $500 million, including more than $100 million in interest, had the February 2024 ruling from Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron been upheld.

The stock had dipped to a low of $50.27 earlier in the day, representing a loss of almost $200 billion in its capitalization.

A serial pedophile has agreed to be castrated as part of a plea deal after he was caught trying to sexually assault a seven-year-old girl.  Thomas Allen McCartney, 37, is classified a 'Tier Three' offender and is considered one of Louisiana's worst child predators. McCartney has agreed to be both physically and chemically castrated as part of plea deal Tuesday in order to reduce his prison sentence - although he'll still spend 40 years in prison, according to local station Fox 12. Louisiana is the first and only state to allow surgical castration to be used as a punishment for sex crimes.

From the Miami Herald, Judge orders Alligator Alcatraz shut down in 60 days, says no more new detainees. It’s an Obama-appointed federal district judge, of course, and this is the case involving the alleged “environmental damage” being done to one of the world’s biggest swamps. From the Herald, Though her order does not prohibit the state from making repairs to the site, the most striking aspect of the order is her demand that the state begin removing all generators, gas, sewage, and other waste items that have transformed the airstrip into a detention center within 60 days, rendering the site uninhabitable. The state of Florida, of course, is appealing the decision.
