The map shows the contorted Congressional District in Louisiana that is at issue in the Supreme Court case that was argued yesterday. You won’t see this map in most of the news reports on the case – not because it’s not newsworthy, but because it is. This picture speaks a thousand words about the absurdity at issue. All parties to the case – and the Supreme Court Justices, as well – agree that this strange amalgamation was created for the express purpose of establishing a district that is supposedly Black* so that Blacks could be assured of electing Black representatives.

How about we draw the districts using established boundries, like counties and/or townships, and put an end to all this foolishness?

It is far past time to stop treating Black people like helpless babies or, as SC Justice KJB stated: disabled people. They are capable of running for office in any Congressional District and nothing is stopping them from voting. The Voting Rights Act guaranteed equal voting rights, not special voting rights.

What a crazy map. Do they think the people in Shreveport and Lafayette have the same interest and concerns? Are they actually obtaining similar help and assistance? What about the 2020 census where they used differential privacy where they didn't use actual enumeration but a secret algorithm that added and subtracted a certain (secret) percentage from what's considered the typical block (105 people) used for apportioning districts. Thus, a block could be 95 or possibly 115 without anyone actually knowing what it is/was. It was not until 2021 when the Census Bureau revealed it used an epsilon of 19.61. Even with this acknowledgement they designed the system to prevent outsiders from verifying that was the actual number used. Not even Congress could audit the process used. Cities, Counties and States weren't able to know either. We can't verify that the current House districts across the entire United States are accurate and true. Any wonder some House Democrat districts turned very late, usually after election day when counting continued for 10-14 days afterwards? They likely had a higher number of people in the District that only a few seemed be aware of.

The map of the district in Louisiana looks exactly like the Sheila Jackson Lee district in Houston, Texas. I suspect the Al Green district has similarities.

My money says this has less to do with color than it does political party. If blacks were a reliable Republican vote this district in this configuration wouldn't exist.

What happens if too many Blacks move to mostly White neighborhoods? We can't have that! How do you racially gerrymander districts if Blacks don't stay in Black neighborhoods? Amazing how Democrats keep going back to their segregationist roots.

Nothing unusual about that district. That is the Interstate 49 district with a little trickle over to Baton Rouge on I-10 to add a few more voters. Those folks got lots in common. Geaux Tigers!

I live in the Baton Rouge part of this liberal concoction. I see no point in voting at all, since they have rigged it to elect only black candidates. In my opinion, they need to draw rectangles across the state with equal amounts of population in each rectangle. Let the chips fall where they live.

Back when Sleepy Joe Biden was “President” and someone with a Tourette’s laugh named KAMala or KaMALa or something, was his trustless assistant, we had a fashion fest. You know, sort of like hula hoops, or streaking, or socialism, or The Twist. First it was COVID, the disease that was not leaked from a Chinese bioweapons lab, except that it was. The Chinese and their allies in the teachers’ unions successfully produced a generation of illiterate Americans. (But those Americans would have been illiterate anyway because, after all, their teachers are in the teachers’ unions.)

After Hamas invaded Israel two years ago to behead babies, rape women, torture men, burn people alive, and take hostages, they gleefully promised to do so repeatedly. Israel sought to prevent that. They went into Gaza to root out the barbarians from their underground tunnels. In the process, some people got killed. Sometimes that was because Hamas put civilians in harm’s way. Sometimes they did so for the purpose of hiding behind them, as when they set up their military headquarters in civilian hospitals. Sometimes they did so for the very purpose of getting the civilians killed in order to increase the overall body count.

The indefatigable Trump team looks to have achieved the impossible. They secured the support of a diverse and conflicted world for a peace plan in Gaza, they persuaded the parties who mutually hate one another to accept it, and they got it signed. All remaining hostages are being released by Hamas, the Israelis are freeing over 1,000 terrorists and prisoners of war, and Israel has commenced a cease fire and partial withdrawal from Gaza. People are jubilant – in both Israel and Gaza. How many wars end with jubilation on both sides? In Tel Aviv, they’re chanting “Donald Trump!” In Gaza City, they’re chanting . . . well . . . “Donald Trump!”

There’s an odd little side show that caught my attention in the vaudeville act of “Dr.” Ian Roberts, the illegal immigrant from Guyana whom the Des Moines School District hired, heroized, and paid $300,000/year. (None of those particular things caught my attention in themselves, since they’re all par for the illegal immigrant course, these days.) What caught my attention is that he’s registered to vote in Maryland, which was one of his waypoints on his grand and illegal tour through America. How, I wondered, did he manage to register to vote in Maryland?

Generally speaking, the people of Gaza are barbarians. That’s not true to a person, but it’s true as a people. Their education level is extremely low, even in comparison to the education levels in Democrat-controlled big cities in America. They live in abject poverty. Their economy is primitive and much of it is barter-based. Their currency, to the extent they use one, is the Israeli shekel but U.S. dollars and Jordanian dinars are in regular circulation as well. Their unemployment rate is thought to be around 80%, though figures are hard to come by. There’s scarcely any industry. There are few stores, and their shelves are empty. Most of this squalor is endemic.

Democrats are willing to shut down the government if Republicans refuse to re-negotiate part of the tax bill passed in July. They say the main thing they want re-negotiated are government subsidies for Obamacare. The Democrats have some leverage here because, while it took only a Senate majority to pass the tax bill, and the Republicans hold that majority, it takes a supra-majority to pass a bill to keep the government from shutting down. A supra-majority cannot be achieved without a handful of Democrats. There are several principled objections to this strategy by the Democrats, which are worth mentioning before I get to the main point.

“Epic” is how a lengthy article in the Wall Street Journal last week described the current investment in AI. In today’s dollars, it dwarfs the investment in the railways in the 1800s. It dwarfs the investment in electrifying America in the early 1900s. It dwarfs the investment in the interstate highway system in the mid-1900s. It dwarfs the investments in the internet at the end of the last century. So, went the gist of the Journal’s article, it must all be an investment bubble – right? – that will come crashing down the way Pets.com and other internet stocks did.

Political assassinations in America are usually committed by nutjobs. Lee Harvey Oswald was a communism-sympathizing loser. James Earl Ray was a career criminal who copped a guilty plea to avoid the death penalty and then falsely maintained his innocence until the day he died in prison. This time feels different. This murderer looked normal. He earned college credits while in high school. He was a straight-A student. He had no criminal record. He lived at home with his parents, two registered Republicans active in their Mormon church in conservative Utah. The family all talked ‘round the dinner table, as families used to.

President Trump’s efforts to bring down crime have been successful in Washington, D.C. The rate of murder and other violent crimes is down substantially, and the rate of car-jackings is down dramatically. Even the Democrat mayor of the city admitted that the crime rate has dropped. Oddly, however, she mumbles in the next breath that the program is “not working,” apparently to mollify national stage Democrats to whom she answers. Such as Democrat Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer. He was asked at the outset whether the initial 30-day period for the effort could be extended.

It’s now a truism that the policies of the left are widely viewed as outrageous – at least the cultural ones such as allowing male voyeurs and exhibitionists into girls’ bathrooms, discriminating to benefit favored races and sexual orientations, grabbing the guns held by hundreds of millions of law-abiding Americans while simultaneously coddling criminals who will never give up theirs, and abolishing the nation’s borders. Such issues have earned a name – the “80/20 issues” – because something near 80% of Americans oppose the left on such issues.

Now, AOC venturing outside the state could be an early move to consolidate her national constituency for a 2028 presidential run, which she could do, but she has options. And this seat is gettable for her: Schumer is not well-liked among Democratic voters, and his fundraising has been abysmal.

And yet, according to recent polls, 43% of New York Jews are supporting him, including 67% of Jewish voters between the ages of 18 and 44.

After a U.S.-led campaign, the United Nations has postponed a vote on a proposal to impose the world’s first global carbon tax on shipping, delaying the decision by one year. The rule was expected to come up for a vote this week as part of the U.N. International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) "Net-Zero Framework." But a majority of member nations voted to defer it after failing to reach consensus amid U.S. opposition. Backed by the European Union and Brazil, the plan seeks to raise billions from carriers that exceed new emissions limits, channeling the revenue toward climate adaptation and clean-fuel projects in developing nations. Washington and Riyadh led the opposition.

The “moral equivalent of war” is often used to elevate an otherwise non-threatening event into an existential threat. But today, the U.S. and indeed, all of Western civilization, faces a very real existential threat, one equal to war: the global collapse of fertility and families. In country after country, the stark, awful news emerges on a nearly daily basis: birth rates are plunging as women disengage from traditional marriage and family life, and young men do the same. The U.S. is no exception. Last year, the U.S. fertility rate plunged to an all-time low of 1.6 children per woman, a rate roughly 24% below the 2.1 children required j

President Donald Trump on Thursday warned Hamas “we will have no choice but to go in and kill them” if internal bloodshed persists in Gaza. The grim warning from Trump came after he previously downplayed the internal violence in the territory since a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas went into effect last week in the two-year war. Trump later clarified he won’t send U.S. troops into Gaza after launching the threat against Hamas. “It’s not going to be us,” Trump said in an exchange with reporters. “We won’t have to. There are people very close, very nearby that will go in and they’ll do the trick very easily,

Mr. Alexander tells readers that this will have the apparently distasteful consequence of establishing admissions guidelines, managing university costs, creating testing standards for faculty competence and hiring, and setting criteria for international student admissions. He asserts that this is an example of federal overreach.

Just a few hours later, Sanders lamented that the United States is "increasingly becoming an oligarchic form of society," during a CNN town hall. It continues the campaign's pattern of spending lavishly on private air travel. During the six months prior, Friends of Bernie Sanders spent more than $450,000 chartering jets. Sanders has been unapologetic about his use of private jets. Sanders scoffed when Fox News anchor Bret Baier asked him about a Washington Free Beacon report highlighting his spending on private jets
