Civil rights cosplayer Justin Pearson
melts down over Tennessee ‘color-blind’
Posted By: earlybird, 5/7/2026 5:35:13 PM
Tennessee State Rep. Justin Pearson is known for his disingenuously performative political stunts. He took it too far again on Thursday, screaming in the face of state troopers — completely unprovoked — because his state’s redistricting special session didn’t turn out the way he had hoped. To quote Pearson: “Move the f*** back! Boy! The f*** is wrong with you? You stupid motherf*****!” The theater kid played the tough guy in front of the cameras, but instead of signaling that he won’t go down without a fight, he looked like a sore loser who disrespects the people there to protect him from political violence.

The South Carolina House voted last night to open the door for redistricting in a special session a week from now. The measure still has to pass the South Carolina Senate; however, with the Indiana outcome at the forefront of their political future, the redistricting is more than likely.
As a consequence, South Carolina Democrat James Clyburn is potentially going to lose his gerrymandered seat in congress. Given Clyburn’s stature as one of the key architects of the DNC ballot harvesting and election counting fraud via the AME Church network, Democrats are apoplectic.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio travelled to Rome, Italy, for discussions with the Pope and Prime Minister. Secretary Rubio holds a press conference following his diplomatic trip. The press questions cover the meeting with the Pope, foreign policy discussions and ongoing international relations between the United States, Italy and NATO allies.
Secretary Rubio notes President Trump is reevaluating current troop deployment throughout Europe and President Trump will make further decisions on troop levels based on a variety of factors. The previous “base denials” is one of the factors for decision-making. WATCH: (video)
The Virginia Supreme Court has struck down a congressional redistricting map approved by voters in a referendum last month, ruling that the Democratic-controlled Legislature failed to follow constitutional procedures when advancing the measure.
The proposed map would likely have favored Democrats, giving them four additional congressional seats and creating a projected 10-to-1 advantage over Republicans in the state’s U.S. House delegation.
The decision could strengthen Republican efforts to maintain control of the U.S. House of Representatives ahead of the midterm elections.
The U.S. Court of International Trade on May 7 struck down President Donald Trump’s 10-percent global tariffs under the Trade Act of 1974.
The court ruled 2–1 in favor of small businesses and several states that contested the tariffs, which had taken effect on Feb. 24. The dissenting judge said it was premature to rule on the dispute.
The challengers had argued that the tariffs were the Trump administration’s attempt to sidestep a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down the president’s tariffs levied under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
The White House has published the official 2026 Counterterrorism Strategy with a foreword by President Trump. [SEE HERE]
Within the outline the White House breaks down the threats and strategies for each region. It is well worth reviewing the entire document which is written in plain language that avoids any misinterpretations. (pdf image)Regionally, the White House outlines specific threats and policies. Given the current situation with drug and human trafficking cartels as well as regional conflict in the Middle East and vulnerabilities in Europe, each of these points of material interest should be highlighted (emphasis mine).
In recent developments President Trump’s ‘project freedom’ operation to open the Strait of Hormuz for captured shipping interests has been paused following Saudi Arabia’s withdrawal of support and their revocation of Saudi air bases for U.S. operations.
The issue behind the Saudi decision is not that complicated if you understand the longer-term background. However, the issue behind the Saudi decision also highlights a key ¹flaw in the Promethean analysis of the relationship (and the reason I caution everyone to sip slowly from this information source).The cliff notes version is that Saudi Arabia and many of the Gulf States look at the negotiations between President Trump and Iranian interests with skepticism.

Well, well, well… look at that. Trump said D.C. officials were cooking the books on crime, and now 13 of them are facing termination over alleged crime-data manipulation.
Funny how that keeps happening.Dems have been pushing their soft-on-crime agenda while also trying to convince Americans that crime in D.C. is down. They want you to believe their cities are safe, and anyone who notices all the carjackings, shootings, robberies, beatings, and random chaos must be watching too much Fox News. But regular people know better because they’re the ones living with it every single day. These are the people getting attacked, robbed,
Something is going to happen, I’m not entirely sure what it is, but something is going to happen on May 8th and 9th as Russia pauses the conflict with Ukraine to celebrate one of their most treasured holidays, Victory Day.My spidey senses are telling me, Ukraine and the EU are planning something very controversial to coincide with this national holiday in the Russian Federation.
Germany has done this before, but this time with President Trump pulling back from NATO, this year holds a different context.GERMANY – Berlin police published an administrative order on 6 May restricting freedom of assembly and access to public spaces
The storage clock is ticking as tankers that exported 3.2 million barrels of crude oil per day remain bottled up in Iranian ports due to the blockade by the U.S. Navy.
The blockade is part of a global vise denying Tehran $13 billion in monthly revenues and seeking to paralyze Iran’s petroleum industry by forcing it to shut down when it runs out of space to store what it can’t ship.
Since U.S. President Donald Trump imposed the blockade on April 13, at least 1.5 million barrels of Iranian oil have been stored every day because there’s no place to move it.
The man accused of sparking the deadly Palisades Fire in Los Angeles was upset that he didn’t have plans for New Year’s Eve and ranted about being angry at the world before the initial blaze was sparked, according to court documents filed by prosecutors.(snip) According to court filings, Rinderknecht ranted to passengers about accused UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter Luigi Mangione, capitalism and vigilantism. In an interview with investigators on Jan. 24, when asked why someone might commit arson in the Palisades, Rinderknecht “responded that it would be out of resentment of the rich enjoying their money as ‘we’re basically being enslaved by them,’” and again referenced Mangione’s alleged crime, the documents
Average gas prices in the United States have gone up by almost 40 percent since March 1. The reason appears straightforward: Iran has blocked the Strait of Hormuz in response to the U.S. military operation that decapitated its regime and degraded its military. Hundreds of tankers trapped behind the strait cannot deliver their oil, depriving the world of 7 percent to 10 percent of its supply.
Although that explains drastic price increases and even shortages in Europe and Asia, the United States gets almost no oil through the strait. In theory, the country should be energy-independent, as it is a net petroleum exporter.
But in reality, the United States is highly intertwined

Don’t break up because of that Mam!
New York leaders are desperately trying to stop billionaire bigwigs from hightailing out of the Big Apple with their cash, businesses and thousands of jobs — as fears mount that Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s policies will accelerate the Empire State’s nation-leading loss of wealth.
The splashy one-two punch of Citadel CEO Ken Griffin and Apollo Global Management honcho Marc Rowan pledging to expand outside New York City has been coupled with a silent wave of businesses “quiet quitting” the city over its hostile environment, insiders told The Post.

The War Department released more than 160 files Friday related to sightings of UFOs dating back nearly 80 years, two days after President Trump predicted, “I think some of it’s going to be very interesting to people.” The disclosure of 162 files by the Pentagon follows a presidential order from February calling for transparency around “alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs).”
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has classified the hantavirus outbreak as a “Level 3” threat and activated its Emergency Operations Centers, sources told ABC News Thursday.
The designation is the lowest level of emergency activation, signifying that the risk to the general public remains low — in line with information given by the World Health Organization earlier Thursday
The CDC is actively monitoring the situation, including by activating the Emergency Operations Centers.
This typically signals that a designated emergency team has been set up to handle hantavirus, the outlet reported. Epidemiologists, scientists, and physicians may be reassigned to monitor and assist with the disease response.
The battle for control of the U.S. House is increasingly being fought not just at the ballot box but in the map room.
Just days after the Volunteer State’s GOP-led legislature rammed through a new congressional map that ELIMINATES the state’s only Democrat-held and Black-majority seat, turning Tennessee into a solid 9-0 Republican delegation, a bombshell new “Crystal Ball” redistricting report is out, and it’s devastating news for Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and the entire crying, screaming Democrat Party.
This comes on the heels of the Supreme Court nuking Louisiana’s illegal racial gerrymander and opening the floodgates for fair maps across the South.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a former president out hitting the trail to encourage people to come to his presidential library. But Barack Obama is doing exactly that, from a May the Fourth post with Star Wars actor Mark Hamill to doing an interview with Stephen Colbert about his presidential center. We reported earlier on how involved Obama was with the design and how they were selling an ugly blob of a pin, which represented the ugly building well.But the real ugly legacy that Obama left was the division he stoked with a smooth smile.
This is a good example,

When the scale of the Medicaid fraud in Minnesota started to emerge, our first thought was that, if it’s that easy to rip off Medicaid, the North Star State can’t be the only place where it’s happening.
Turns out we were right, as the Daily Wire’s exposé of massive fraud schemes in Ohio makes clear. Which means there are almost certainly still more to be uncovered. Which leads to the question of why we are learning about this only now.
Daily Wire is releasing a five-part series that alleges massive fraud in an Ohio Medicaid program – a state that obtained a waiver so it could reimburse “home healthcare.”
The 2026 midterms are just a few months away, and the Democrat Party still has no coherent answer to why it lost working-class voters in Pennsylvania, in Michigan, across the Rust Belt, to Donald Trump twice. Rather than reckon with that, the activist base has doubled down: more ideological purity tests, more litmus questions, more performative opposition to anything bearing the Trump name. Its loudest voices are busy policing their own members.
Into that mess steps Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) — not leaving the Democrat Party, but making clear in a Thursday op-ed that he understands exactly what's wrong with it. In doing so, he may have delivered
The Virginia Supreme Court's ruling striking down Democrats’ costly redistricting push sparked an uproar on social media over the massive sum the party spent to pass the now-defunct congressional map.
Virginians for Fair Elections, the main pro-redistricting group, raised north of $64 million in support of the Democratic-friendly gerrymander that could have netted the party four GOP-held seats in November’s midterm elections. Nearly $40 million of that came from an outside spending group aligned with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who was heavily involved in the effort to redraw
A 31.62-carat fancy blue diamond known as the Azure Blue will headline Christie’s Magnificent Jewels auction on June 9 in New York City, where it is expected to draw significant attention from collectors worldwide. Described as the largest fancy blue diamond ever to appear at auction, the stone carries a pre-sale estimate of $6.5 million to $8.5 million.
The pear-shaped, modified brilliant-cut diamond boasts VVS1 clarity, with the potential to be reclassified as internally flawless, according to a report from the Gemological Institute of America. It is also classified as a Type IIb diamond—a rare category distinguished by the presence of boron impurities, which not only impart the gem’s vivid blue
Tennessee GOP Rep. Tim Burchett revealed Thursday that there is just one more day to wait until the Trump administration releases its first batch of UFO files, which is expected to include material from pilots.
President Donald Trump ordered War Secretary Pete Hegseth last month to begin releasing the government's files on UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena. Trump initially promised in February to order the release of the files after he criticized former President Barack Obama for divulging "classified information" when he said he believes aliens are real.
