Alabama and Tennessee have moved to redistrict their states amid a growing battle between Democrats and Republicans ahead of the midterm elections to see which party can grab more seats in Congress. The move from the states comes after Virginia held a vote to redistrict the state under Democratic control, but that has been blocked by the courts.
Fighting back is certainly no sin!
brave Moms who have just had enough of seeing their kids raped and sexually assaulted by Muslims in Britain. I wish them luck. They certainly have to fight against Keir Starmer’s government.
Republicans have been FAR too “polite” when faced with Democrat shenanigans. See, the “default’ for conservatives is to shrug and say, “Live and let live.” But the problem is that Democrats live by the ethic of, “Stick the shiv in whenever you get half a chance.” So the rules of engagement are different for each side from the get-go.
Like it or not, we’ve gotten a little too used to all sorts of legal wrangling and interference in our politics. That’s on the Democrats, of course. They can’t beat President Donald Trump in elections, so they have been relentless in trying to ruin him personally and thwart his agenda via various lawsuits, judges, and prosecutors. Nobody sane wants to live in a permanently litigious society, but sometimes we have to get down in the mud to fight the people who have been trying to drag us down there.
Republicans are mixing it up legally, and the Democrats are none too thrilled.
Yes, Democrats really hate it when Republicans fight back. They are just not used to it! Additionally, they are simply not intellectually equipped to debate points and persuade others. Again, persuasion is just a vestigial tail for Democrats–it’s for show, not use…
As I’ve written many times, President Trump is teaching Republicans how to fight. Coming from the high-stakes corporate world, he doesn’t hesitate to unleash the lawyers. It’s what they do in the private sector. Trump has gone after the enemy-of-the-people media outlets ABC and CBS in court and won settlements from both.
Virginia has done is amazingly repulsive. I hope the courts correct this blatant gerrymandering!
And the endgame is obvious. If these maps survive a court challenge, Democrats will have a much easier path to stacking Congress against President Donald Trump — setting up yet another sham impeachment attempt over nothing. Democrats aren’t even hiding what they’re doing anymore. Why would they? Republicans have spent years playing nice while the left plays to win, and they play dirty.
But there is also hope that Trump can do something…
Mizelle’s proposal is for Trump to issue an executive order declaring that slavery-motivated retrocession unconstitutional. That order wouldn’t need to resolve everything on its own — it would immediately trigger litigation and force federal courts to finally answer the question: Do Arlington and Alexandria legally belong to Virginia or to the District of Columbia?
… This isn’t a mirror-image power grab. It targets a historically tainted decision, seeks legitimate judicial clarity, and corrects a gerrymander that disenfranchises nearly half a state. There’s more detailed legal analysis available over at The American Capital Project, and the constitutional case for returning that slice of Virginia to D.C. is solid.
take things onto themselves. And that is to be expected.
“If they are a sanctuary city, should they really be processing customs into their city?” he asked. “Seriously, if they are a sanctuary city and they are receiving international flights, and we’re asking them to partner with us at the airport, but once they walk out of the airport, they’re not going to enforce immigration policy? Maybe we need to have a really hard look at that because we need to focus on cities that want to work with us.”
It is a HUGE political Jiu-Jitsu move. It’s the embodiment of, “Make my day.”
Let’s not forget, it was Democrats who created this standoff. They’re the ones who are putting national security at risk over a policy dispute. This is a situation of their own making, and Mullin just handed them the bill.
Democrats HATE the natural consequences of their actions. But I don’t wanna play that game no more!
who has been involved in the teachers’ unions, let me just say that I hate them!
an Iraqi military leader is really not all that much of a safe career path. And it’s getting so that there is no government person to give the final surrender.
It’s time to play hardball…The fact that the Senate does not require a “talking filibuster “ is just a disgrace! Keep the filibuster, but stop with the “weak loser” version of it. Senators, if you want to filibuster, put on your comfy shoes, grab a pack of adult diapers, and stand up!
Otherwise, just shut up. It is just a disgrace that Republicans have let you get away with a non-talking filibuster. I say we keep the filibuster, but let’s make it a real filibuster, not some panty-waist loose approximation of it. It’s time opponents had a little skin in the game!
And yes, Republicans, you might miss your precious tee-time because of it. But so what? This is what you were elected to do! Please, don’t forget that. Rise up and meet the moment…
into the “black pill” crowd. They are split into two, which we will talk about shortly, but they both have the exact same aim–that they must get you discouraged and inert. And they are both epistemically closed–they are NOT open to other information. They already have their beliefs, and there can be no more beliefs! Epistemically closed.
You know the black-pill people–they are quick to tell you that ALL politicians are liars, that it makes no difference who you vote for, because they are all equally corrupt. They preach bitterness and surrender. They preach a resentful passivity. They are glum, and they want you to be glum, too. You know, misery loves company…
But it’s not true. Look at Virginia for example. They elected a militant Lefty as governor, Spanberger, who has quickly dunked the whole state into misery. Now that she’s in charge, she’s going to tax the crap out of you! You can almost hear her say, “Bwahaha!”
The speed of the destruction of Virginia has been nothing short of dumbfounding. And all it took for the triumph of this evil was, as the old saying goes, for good people to do nothing. For the black pills to win out.
And this should serve as a warning to you. The freedoms you have can be taken away in an instant. How you vote really does matter. Because if you are complacent or inert or angrily black-pilled, you are meat on the hoof for people who would destroy you. Your state and your community depends on you to carry on and not get black-pilled.
OK, let’s talk about the two types of the black pill people. The first is a group of people who are basically innocent themselves (more or less), but who are led down to despair by the black pill crowd. They themselves to not sit out to be evil. But they are discouraged and inert. They have been infected by a better poison, and they can’t help but spread that bitterness to others.
The second group is far more deliberate. They typically want people to be discouraged and inert. It is a very calculated strategy for them. The more inner you are, the more likely that their “Tribe” will win.
They often use ridicule and superciliousness to pose as “smarter than thou” and act like anyone who doesn’t agree with them is just stupid and uneducated. For them, Leftism is a sop to their ego–Leftism is part of their self-identity and there is this threat of the annihilation of self if they are shown to be incorrect. So they hold to Leftism with a white-knuckled religious intensity.
If you are able to successfully argue with them, they will quickly no longer be your friend. Basically, they have joined a type of cult, and they only have friends who are within the cult. Otherwise, they may be confronted with rational arguments for which they have no answer.
Of course, most of those people are mixture of those two. But they usually lean to one end or the other.
