Supreme Court Could Outlaw Race-Based Redistricting
Posted By: earlybird, 10/15/2025 10:48:50 AM
The Supreme Court seems poised to strike down race-based redistricting as unconstitutional, or at least rein in the practice, court experts told The Epoch Times. The outcome of the high-profile racial gerrymandering case of Louisiana v. Callais could have an impact on the balance of power in the federal legislative branch. Gerrymandering is the manipulation of electoral district boundaries to favor a particular party or constituency. Currently, Republicans maintain a razor-thin majority over Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives. The congressional seat at the heart of the litigation is currently held by Rep. Cleo Fields (D-La.).

The left-leaning Nobel Committee last week passed over the guy who just brought an end to the war in Gaza and peace to the Middle East. That the committee snubbed President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize should come as a surprise to no one.
(snip). Yes, the deadline for Peace Prize nominations is Jan. 31, just days after Trump began his second term, but many of the appeals asked the committee to make an exception in the case of a U.S. president who in his first nine months in office has led or helped broker peace deals around the world. On Monday, Trump was hailed as a hero
Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, travels to the White House to meet with President Trump after Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent organized a $20 Billion currency swap to help underwrite the Argentinian currency.
The currency swap is a major financial lifeline to the South American nation. As Milei arrived at the White House, President Trump was asked if he had a message for the Argentine people, responding: “We love them. We’ll be here for them. They have a great leader.”

Indicted New York State Attorney General Letitia James has housed her “fugitive” relative in her Virginia house for five years, according to reports.
The under-fire prosecutor’s grandniece, Nakia Thompson, has been living with her three children in James’ three-bedroom property in Norfolk since 2020.
It has now been revealed that Thompson is officially listed as an “absconder” who is wanted by authorities in Forsyth County, North Carolina, for failing to finish her probation, court documents seen by the Daily Mail reveal.
Michael Walsh’s Last Stands: Why Men Fight When All is Lost and A Rage to Conquer: Twelve Battles That Changed the Course of Western History are not merely military histories; they are meditations on the human condition. Walsh writes not as a detached chronicler of tactics and campaigns but as a moral philosopher seeking to understand the inner world of the soldier and the spiritual anatomy of courage.
His subject is war, but his theme is man — his strength, his limits, his longing for greatness, and his willingness to confront annihilation for something greater than himself. Across these books, Walsh presents a compelling defense of martial virtue and manliness as
More than 1,500 illegal immigrants have been arrested in Illinois by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel during Operation Midway Blitz, including criminals, the agency said in an Oct. 14 post on X.
“Operation Midway Blitz is making Illinois SAFE again. DHS law enforcement has made over 1,500 arrests across Illinois, including of pedophiles, vicious gang members, and armed robbers,” DHS said.
“@POTUS Trump and @Sec Noem WILL NOT allow criminal illegal aliens to terrorize our cities.”

For years, the Presidential Medal of Freedom has been awarded to celebrities and political allies. But on Tuesday, President Donald Trump will posthumously award Charlie Kirk the highest civilian honor, reviving the medal’s original intent of recognizing those who have made extraordinary contributions to the security, ideals, and freedoms of the country. (snip) Soon after Kirk’s assassination, Trump announced Kirk would posthumously receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. (snip) The award is intended to honor “any person who has made an especially meritorious contribution to (1) the security or national interests of the United States, or (2) world peace, or (3) cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.”

The government of Israel is smartly leveraging all of their political will and praise to build influence with President Trump as he becomes the fulcrum, the Solomon of sorts, for the future of Gaza and all that follows.
On the other side of this precarious balance, comes the expectations of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Syria, Jordan and the entire Mideast region.
Only President Donald Trump is big enough for this moment of consequence.(snipe)
Only U.S. President Donald Trump is significant enough to bear the responsibility and pressure of this moment. It is a remarkable testimony to a lifetime of steps that has brought him to this moment.
China holds a monopolistic level of control on the industrial processing of rare earth minerals. The minerals themselves are not rare; it’s the processing of them into refined elements used in industrial electronic component manufacturing that gives China power.
The U.S. and China hold a current trade agreement saying, essentially, we will remain steady with the baseline tariffs in exchange for Beijing maintaining a consistent policy on the export of processed rare earth magnets and minerals. The announcement of export controls by Beijing violated the terms of that trade agreement, and President Trump responded by announcing an additional retaliatory tariff of 100%, effective November 1st.
It’s all inside baseball, but for those who are watching the effort to rein in the Fourth Branch of government it is also quite interesting.
CIA Deputy Director Michael Ellis (pictured left) has removed the acting CIA general counsel and put himself into the role until President Trump’s nominee Joshua Simmons can be confirmed by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
Deputy Director Ellis, like DNI Tulsi Gabbard is a solid MAGA ally. Without knowing the reason for his decision to remove the CIA general counsel, the New York Times is not happy.
Let’s not forget how the Letitia James drama started…
Letitia James built her entire career on one promise: to take down President Donald Trump. (snip)Our friends at The Gateway Pundit have done a meticulous deep-dive investigation into Letitia’s financial dealings, and it’s far worse than most people realize. This isn’t some silly oversight or one bad mortgage… not even close. It’s a long-running pattern of deception spanning two states, many properties, and decades of lies.

Former President Barack Obama stated that President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to quell crime in Democrat-run cities is “inherently corrupting,” arguing that he would have received a different reaction from conservative media if he had sent the military into Texas during his tenure. Obama spoke with left-wing comedian Mark Maron for the final episode of his long-running podcast, published Monday, in which he shared several of his grievances about how Trump has been leading the country.

Tightens Grip On Gaza As Truce Flashes Violence 33 replies
Hamas fighters have dramatically reasserted control in Gaza, defying Israeli demands for disarmament just a day after U.S. President Donald Trump was in the region signing the ceasefire agreement.
On Tuesday, the militant group solidified its return by carrying out public executions of men accused of collaborating with Israeli forces. A video circulated Monday, whose authenticity was confirmed by a Hamas source, showed seven men dragged into a crowd, forced to their knees, and shot from behind in Gaza City.
The move underscores the “daunting hurdles” facing efforts to move Trump’s ceasefire plan toward a longer-term resolution.
NEW YORK — Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.
They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
William Hendrix, the Kansas Young Republicans’ vice chair, used the words “n--ga” and “n--guh,” variations of a racial slur, , more than a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans at the time,
A State Department contractor stole thousands of pages of “TOP SECRET” classified documents and met with Beijing officials.
Ashley Tellis, an expert on India and South Asian affairs, removed the top secret documents from secure locations and met with Chinese officials.
The classified documents were located in Tellis’s Virginia home during a raid.
“On Sept. 25, he allegedly printed U.S. Air Force documents concerning military aircraft capabilities. Federal prosecutors allege that he met with Chinese government officials multiple times over the past several years,” Fox News reported.

News organizations including The New York Times, The Associated Press and the conservative Newsmax television network said Monday they will not sign a Defense Department document about its new press rules, making it likely the Trump administration will evict their reporters from the Pentagon.
Those outlets say the policy threatens to punish them for routine news gathering protected by the First Amendment. The Washington Post, The Atlantic and Reuters on Monday also publicly joined the group that says it will not be signing. AP confirmed Monday afternoon that it would not sign.
The Democratic Socialists of America — the organization backing New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani — denounced the “conditional” cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas and called for continued resistance against the Jewish state in a statement released Monday.
The DSA declaration titled “Until Palestinian Liberation” came days after Israel and Hamas agreed to halt fighting and begin exchanging hostages and prisoners under a US- and Arab-brokered deal.
The far-left group said the truce “will not end Israel’s assault on the Palestinian people or the theft and occupation of Palestinian lands,” describing it as a “conditional cease-fire” that “does not wash the hands of the ruling class that …
A dedicated prayer room for Muslims has reportedly been opened inside the 500-year-old Vatican Apostolic Library in Rome after a plea for the separate, carpeted space was made by visiting Islamic scholars. The Catholic Herald reports Fr Giacomo Cardinali, Vice Prefect, said in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica that Muslim academics had requested an area in which to pray, and the library had agreed. “Some Muslim scholars have asked us for a room with a carpet for praying and we have given it to them,” he said.
In the interview, Cardinali referred to the library’s modern collections: about 80,000 manuscripts, 50,000 archival items, nearly
Sen. Cory Booker is racing down the aisle! During his appearance on the I've Had It podcast released on Tuesday, Oct. 14, the newly engaged Democratic New Jersey lawmaker, 56, revealed that he's fast-tracking his "I dos." "I've had it with being single. 100%. Being single is not fun, especially when you're trying to date," Booker told hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie "Pumps" Sullivan. "And as a United States Senator, it's been a difficult, challenging time. So I've had it with that, and I'm very psyched that I'm getting married." Booker announced his engagement to Alexis Lewis on Tuesday, Sept.
Moses, smell the roses: Did you see the joyous, adoring throngs of Israelis and Arabs, all cheering and praising the American president? Millions of people chanting his name!
Y’know, for a guy with Donald Trump’s ego, people worshiping him as a god in the Holy Land must’ve been pretty trippy.
But for a guy with Barack Obama’s ego, had he been in Trump’s shoes, he would’ve believed it.
That’s always been one of the fundamental differences between the two most historically significant presidents of this century: Sure, Donald Trump has an ego, but he’s also self-aware. His pride and self-confidence are 100% authentic, but he’s also a showman: Part of it is schtick.
Ever since President Donald Trump brokered the historic ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the left has predictably tried to rewrite history. Instead of acknowledging Trump’s success, they’ve either praised the deal without giving him credit or tried desperately to hand the credit to someone else—namely, former President Joe Biden.
Biden’s former Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, previously claimed the Trump-brokered ceasefire “builds on a post-conflict framework developed under the Biden administration.” The spin is almost comical: (Snip) On Monday, Biden issued a statement on the release of hostages in Gaza, framing it as a crowning achievement of his administration.

The Democrats' reaction to President Donald Trump's historic peace deal in Gaza has been interesting. Some on the left had the grace to give him the credit he deserved. Then, you had folks like former President Barack Obama, who, while welcoming the deal, couldn't bring himself to even mention Trump's name.[snip]Then there were folks like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) who seemed to be implying that she had something to do with the achievement in her remarks, when, of course, she had nothing to do with it.[snip] "The president told me he did this on Indigenous Peoples Day in honor of you," Vance jokingly replied
The Israeli military said Wednesday that one of the bodies handed over by Hamas the previous day as part of the ceasefire deal is not that of one of the hostages who was held in Gaza, adding to tensions over a fragile ceasefire in the two-year war.
Four bodies were handed over by Hamas on Tuesday to ease pressure on the fragile ceasefire, following the first four on Monday — when the last 20 living hostages were released. In all, Israel was awaiting the return of the bodies of 28 deceased hostages.
The military said that “following the completion of examinations at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine,
