Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., on Friday announced he would end his reelection bid after Republicans in the state redrew his Memphis-centered district.
State lawmakers redrew their congressional maps in the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais that narrowed Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and barred race-based congressional districts.
Cohen cited the changes to his district boundaries in making the decision, Fox News reported.

A former Black Lives Matter activist-turned-conservative influencer blasted the social justice organization as a “scam” — and insisted that Democrats are the party of “racism and violence.”
Xaviaer DuRousseau, 29, revealed that he did a complete 180 from his liberal upbringing during the 2020 George Floyd riots as he realized that the movement was a money grab and that he was indoctrinated.
“Once I started looking at the conservative side of the argument, I started realizing, oh, wait, socialism has literally never worked. BLM has always been a scam,
We haven’t seen or heard much from former California Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-14) since he abandoned his gubernatorial run and resigned from Congress in disgrace in April amid allegations of sexual abuse and rape.
For a few days after the scandal broke, he holed up in the mansion of his buddy, billionaire Stephen Cloobeck — but then lefty timeshare titan turned on him, kicked him out of his house, and demanded that he return $1 million in donations.
Now it’s Cloobeck’s turn to feel the heat, as he was arrested in West Hollywood Tuesday and charged with a felony for attempting to prevent or dissuade a victim or witness from testifying.
A Georgia mother is criticizing school officials after her 8-year-old son was suspended for bringing an object made from LEGO pieces to school that administrators determined resembled a gun.
The child, a student at Walnut Creek Elementary School, was suspended for three days, according to his mother, who said the incident has raised concerns about how the school district handled the situation. (snip) The student's mother said her son, who has autism and ADHD, did not make threats at school.
Both my adult children reached out today to wish me a Happy Mother’s Day. My response was to thank them, not for their good wishes, but for saving me from being a miserable, selfish, perpetual adolescent. Having them was the best thing that ever happened to me, and that’s not just because I love them so much. (snip) Children forced me to grow up. Suddenly, I was responsible for someone’s happiness, not my own. This was a necessary act of maturation for me—
Something big is on the horizon — and the people saying so aren't fringe voices on a podcast. They're senior Trump administration officials.
Monica Crowley, the U.S. government's chief of protocol, dropped a significant claim on Wednesday: hard evidence that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election is coming, and it's coming soon. "He did win in a landslide, and we will soon be able to give evidence about that," Crowley said.
Now, she didn't lay out a timeline or spell out exactly what the evidence would look like, but the message was clear.

Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested the war in Ukraine was drawing to a close — just hours after he vowed to triumph at Moscow’s puniest Victory Day parade in years.
“I think that the matter is coming to an end,” Putin told reporters inside the Kremlin Saturday about the four-year-long war.
Putin said the United States — which he referred to as a “partner” and “friend” during his remarks, alongside the likes of China and India — was eager to help broker a deal. “Clearly, they have no need for this conflict, as they have many other priorities,” he said.

fraud: DOJ 4 replies
A former NFL player who owned a marketing company and was the beneficial owner of eight durable medical equipment (DME) companies was sentenced Wednesday to more than 16 years in prison for his role in a yearslong scheme that defrauded Medicare and the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA) out of nearly $200 million.
Prosecutors said the defendant, Joel Rufus French, 47, of Armory, Mississippi, sold patient information and fraudulent doctors’ orders for orthotic braces that patients neither wanted nor needed.
The Utah Supreme Court Justice who had a romantic relationship with a leftist lawyer involved in helping the Democrats steal a congressional seat has resigned.
In November, the Utah Third District Court struck down the congressional map crafted by the Republican-led state legislature, labeling it an unconstitutional “gerrymander” and replacing it with a map drawn by left-wing plaintiffs.
The Democrats gained a seat in bright red Utah.
Brian Krassenstein has spent years as one of the left's most reliable attack dogs on social media. He's built his brand on opposing Donald Trump and everything adjacent to Trump's orbit. So when Krassenstein announced he bought a Tesla Cybertruck, his followers didn't congratulate him on the smart purchase. They threatened to kill him. (snip) The backlash was swift and vicious. Krassenstein watched his follower count crater from 1.5 million to under a million.
The embarrassingly awful Democrat mayor of Charlotte, N.C., has abruptly announced she is resigning halfway through her term. The move raises speculation as to why. (snip) Perhaps Lyles’s most shameful moment was her reaction to the murder of young Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on the Charlotte Area Transit System subway. (snip) Lyles did not even mention Iryna‘s name in her statement after the murder, nor did she condemn the brutal crime. Instead, she fixated on building up a sob story over the murderer.

Finally, after years of gaslighting, lawfare, and corrupt media cover-ups, a top Trump DOJ official has stepped up and dropped the hammer on the biggest political crime in American history.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures and delivered a NUCLEAR truth bomb that Democrats, the fake news media, and the deep state have been desperately trying to bury for six long years.
When Bartiromo pressed him on President Trump’s repeated claims that the 2020 election was rigged, Blanche didn’t mince words.
Blanche confirmed that the DOJ is now running multiple criminal investigations into the stolen 2020 election.
A transgender high school athlete dominated multiple girls track and field events at a California regional final Saturday, igniting backlash from parents, competitors and activists, prompting officials to award duplicate gold medals to female runners-up.
Jurupa Valley High School senior, AB Hernandez, 17, captured first place in the girls’ long jump, high jump and triple jump events during the California Interscholastic Federation’s Southern Section championship final.
Some of Hernandez’s female rivals appeared to ice her out during the medal ceremonies, with one competitor skipping the podium altogether and others keeping their distance amid the escalating controversy.
Louisiana Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy missed the runoff in the state’s GOP Senate primary Saturday, ending the reelection hopes of one of the few Senate Republicans who voted to convict President Donald Trump after the January 6 Capitol protest.
Trump-backed Rep. Julia Letlow and Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming are now set to advance after no candidate received the majority needed to avoid a June 27 runoff.
Cassidy’s defeat is not complicated. In 2021, Cassidy joined Democrats and a small group of establishment Republicans in voting to convict Trump during the second impeachment trial.
Cuba's communist leaders are facing some tough times. The Cuban people are getting good and tired of no electricity, no decent food, no garbage pickup, and the prospect of a jail term if they complain about any of that, and yet the people are taking to the streets anyway. This has to be making the remnants of the old Castro regime nervous.
Also making them nervous is President Trump's removal by force of a key Cuban ally, Venezuelan strongman dictator Nicolás Maduro, and the subsequent shutting off of the Venezuelan oil that was helping keep Cuba's energy economy afloat. Could Cuba's El Presidente Miguel Díaz-Canel and his communist cohorts be thinking
Americans may be paying a hidden “lawsuit tax” through higher insurance premiums and higher prices for everyday goods, as trucking companies face rising litigation costs from staged crashes, massive settlements and “nuclear verdicts.”
Industry groups and lawsuit abuse critics told the Daily Caller News Foundation that costs from frivolous lawsuits and rising settlements are being passed down to consumers through elevated insurance premiums, higher transportation costs and inflated prices for everyday goods. They argue those costs are especially hitting the trucking industry, where rising commercial insurance premiums can ripple through freight rates, grocery bills, consumer goods and even personal auto insurance premiums.
“Abusive litigation practices against the trucking industry
Global elites have shoved “diversity is our strength” down everyone’s collective throats as if people are interchangeable little widgets with no history, roots, culture, and no right to care about the character of their own neighborhoods and country.(snipWhen people feel unheard, they get mad. When they’re told their concerns make them bigots, they get madder. And when every reasonable objection gets shoved into the “you’re a racist” box, they start fighting back. That’s what happened in Lancaster County, South Carolina, where a proposed mosque became the center of a heated fight. In the end, the county denied the permit, but that only happened because the residents literally revolted.
Trump’s Cleanup Crescendo
10 replies
It’s obvious to me that during the four-year hiatus from the White House occasioned by a stolen election, President Trump gave thoughtful consideration to what had to be cleaned up domestically and internationally. It’s equally clear that he mapped out how he planned to do that, and despite media, congressional and judicial intransigence, he plowed ahead. We are at a point now where the blueprint is now obvious, It’s a continuing, ascending trajectory. Having hoisted Maduro out of Caracas to stand trial here for his crimes, the U.S. made it perfectly obvious that Russian and Chinese security personnel and military equipment were no match for a determined U.S. military.

President Donald Trump is back from China with a very clear message to the Iranian regime. “For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!”
Before Trump left for China, it was clear that his patience with the Iranian regime was wearing thin. So if they didn't get it before, they should listen now. It's time to fish or cut bait, and if they do not, they're going to have a very unfortunate 'find out" moment.
The Iranian regime still appears to be misbehaving, as they're believed to be behind a serious drone strike
Democrats in Massachusetts are scrambling for political cover after a repeat, violent felon managed to evade the state's restrictive gun control laws and get his hands on a rifle this week, using it to fire dozens of rounds at motorists in Cambridge before he was stopped by an armed citizen and a Massachusetts state trooper.
As the Gun Owners Action League reports, some Democrats are demanding new laws in response; [snip]
“The only law that saved lives on Memorial Drive was the Second Amendment,” said Jim Wallace, Executive Director of GOAL. “An armed citizen stopped
There is a desperate pattern emerging in the press regarding FBI Director Kash Patel. There is a growing tendency to see/hear a claim of outlandish behavior involving Patel and then rush to publication without maybe committing a modicum of research or striving to apply calm, rational thought to the matter. (Snip) For the latest, we have Patel allegedly desecrating the site of the Pearl Harbor memorial, the site of the sunken U.S.S. Arizona. Based on the reactions across social media, you are led to believe Patel was in a pool float with zinc oxide on his nose and slamming hurricanes while taking a dip at the historic site.
Communist Cuba has reportedly expanded its military drone capabilities and is seeking additional equipment from Russia and Iran as the communist regime prepares for the possibility of direct confrontation with the United States.
According to classified intelligence cited by Axios, Cuban officials have acquired more than 300 military drones of varying capability since 2023 and have held discussions about how such systems could be used in the event of hostilities with Washington.
Back in December, I wrote about a holster protecting a gun from a vehicle fire. That holster, made by Falco, introduced me to the company and the fact that they use heavy-duty leather for many of their offerings. But they also use kydex for some products, which has some advantages, too. Leather is sexier, in my book, but kydex is lighter and thinner.
So what do you do? Well, hybrids exist that use both, and Falco has a few already, but in a press release, they announced four more offerings.
