Call evil for what it is.
That was downright evil and comparable to Dr Mengele.
The doctor should have been tried posthumously and every penny he made be confiscated.



cococandy:
You’re lost if think stuff like this doesn’t have generational impact. And that wanting to correct the impacts of these kinds of events (there were many other events like this) is somehow racist against white people.

Truly truly lost. Physically, spiritually and mentally. In all the ways that matters.

The descendants of people who benefited from this convinced you it’s racist to seek compensation for the descendants of the sufferers. Truly lost.

What's the end game for liberals.
Judge freed this thug despite prosecutors telling him not to, this thug ends up murdering a police officer

CHICAGO JUDGE JOHN LYKE IGNORED PROSECUTORS AND FREED CAREER CRIMINAL WITH 7 FELONIES — NOW ACCUSED OF MURDERING POLICE OFFICER

Calls are ramping up to impeach and hold liable Chicago Judge John Lyke after he released a known dangerous criminal who then allegedly killed a police officer.

“The judge said NO!” the report highlighted. “The judge was convinced he changed his ways.”

Alfonso Talley had seven previous felonies, including armed robbery and using a gun to carjack a woman. He was already facing four separate violent crime charges and had three outstanding warrants, including for violating electronic monitoring.

“Prosecutors told Cook County Circuit Judge John Lyke that Talley should be kept behind bars until his trials,” the report stated. “But the judge said no.”

Citing Illinois’ no-cash-bail law and the state’s safety act, Judge Lyke released him anyway. Talley was later arrested for robbing a dollar store and pistol-whipping a female employee before shooting Chicago police officer Bartholomew.


What was the point of releasing a dangerous felon.
There are many judges who have done the same. Time they were held responsible. This be similar to a bartender serving a drunk with alcohol who then goes ahead and commits a road accident.
If this was in Wakanda, you'd know bribes were exchanged.

Iran has claimed that the straits belong to it.
They will charge toll access for every ship passing. There are several straits that are internationally recognized if you are not aware.
For 47 years Iran has launched , directed,sponsored, facilitated terrorist attacks on other nations killing at least 1500 Americans and over 3000 Israelis in the process. I have documented that here in the last few weeks.
When do you think they would have stopped?

Add a nuclear bomb to the genocidal maniacs who are bombing the very hands that feed them.

I am not sure if you are capable of seeing what else they would do if they had a nuclear bomb

I have been a vocal proponent of the gerrymandering for a long time.
Democrats have had the upper hand ,in their strong holds they have done their best to eliminate Republican seats. They did this through state legislature .
In republican strong areas they went to court demanding redistricting be redone. In some cases the Republicans drew a map,the democrats countered with one then got a judge to impose the democrat one. This was the case in Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana.

All this is inherently wrong . The spineless Republicans not wanting to be called racist simply accepted the maps which increased democrat house numbers.

The supreme court hasn't blocked the civil rights act.all they did was declare redistricting based on race unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court gave the go ahead to gerrymander based on party politics in 2019. It also ruled that redistricting should not be a court process but state legislatures.

I think in Virginia both parties had formed an independent commission to redraw maps after census results ..When Texas and Florida eliminated a few seats, Virginia democrats blatantly decided to override the commission and compensate for lost seats in Texas . They did it stupidly ,5 seats originating from Fairfax.see below.
The second image is Alabama 2023 vs the map a judge imposed.

Democrats never play fair.

tctrills:
4 reasons why racial gerrymandering is wrong in the United States:

It divides people by race instead of bringing citizens together as one country.
It can make some voters feel their votes matter less because district lines are drawn mainly around race.
It encourages politicians to focus on race politics instead of solving real problems like jobs, schools, and safety.
The U.S. Constitution promises equal protection under the law, and many people believe government decisions should not favor or separate citizens mainly because of race.

Oh no I hope they are not pumping the oil directly so they are not forced to shut down their oil wells.

These guys are jihadists, fighting for their religion and seeking to die as martyrs as soon as Allah wills, inshallah.
The west thinks they also want oil ,gas and fertilizer to flow through the straits.
Two belligerents, one is desperate to die and kill you in the process.

Gemini is so biased when it comes to politics.
During the 2024 election cycle, approximately 88% of political contributions from Alphabet employees (Google's parent company) went to Democratic candidates and causes.

Approximately 100% of the violence comes from the Left.



Try Grok. It strives to be as neutral as possible unlike Gemini which spews out the views it's employees feed it

Political Violence from the Right to Left
Key Trends and Data Points

​1. The Lethality Gap
​Research indicates a significant disparity in the outcome of these attacks.
​Right-Wing: Between 1975 and 2025, right-wing extremists were responsible for approximately 10% of all terrorist murders in the U.S. (363 deaths). Since 2016, high-profile mass shootings—such as the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting and the 2022 Buffalo supermarket shooting—have been linked to white supremacist or far-right ideologies.

​Left-Wing: Left-wing ideologies accounted for roughly 2% of terrorist murders (68 deaths) in the same 50-year period. While the number of incidents (plots and attacks) increased recently, they rarely result in mass casualties.

​2. The 2025 Shift
​Interestingly, 2025 marked a statistical anomaly. For the first time in over 30 years, the number of left-wing terrorist attacks and plots outnumbered those from the far right. Analysts suggest this was driven by intense opposition to specific state institutions and political leadership. Conversely, right-wing violence dipped slightly during the same period, with some experts speculating that traditional grievances were being addressed through mainstream political channels rather than extremist violence.

​3. Lone Actors vs. Organized Groups
​The FBI and DHS have noted a shift away from organized group activity toward "lone offenders." These individuals are often radicalized online and act independently, making them much harder for law enforcement to track.

​Examples: The 2024 and 2025 assassination attempts against high-ranking political figures (including President Donald Trump and various State Governors) underscore the vulnerability of public officials to radicalized individuals across the spectrum.

​4. Civil Unrest and Riots
​Beyond "terrorism" (premeditated attacks), the last decade saw significant civil unrest.
​Left-leaning unrest: Often tied to social justice movements (e.g., the 2020 protests following George Floyd’s death), which, while mostly peaceful, included segments of property damage and clashes with police.

​Right-leaning unrest: Most notably the January 6, 2021, Capitol Riot, which represented a direct, violent challenge to the transition of power and resulted in multiple injuries and deaths.

​Summary
​While the frequency of left-wing incidents has grown to rival or even exceed right-wing incidents in very recent years, the lethality and threat of mass-casualty events remain overwhelmingly concentrated within right-wing extremist circles. Both sides have contributed to a climate where threats against election officials, judges, and lawmakers have reached historic highs.

Deepsight. FBI director own words about Russia hoax

FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL: IT TOOK ME 2 YEARS TO PROVE DEMOCRATS HIRED FOREIGN ASSET FOR FAKE DOSSIER TO ILLEGALLY SPY ON TRUMP VIA FISA

FBI Director Kash Patel just laid out exactly what he spent two years proving about the Russia hoax operation.

“It took me 2 years of my life to prove the following, that a political party in the United States of America in the 21st century would go overseas and hire some bogus intelligence asset to manufacture fraudulent, fake unverified information,” Patel said.

He continued: “Funnel that to not just the intelligence community, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and then take those package lies that they had paid for with campaign finance funds, and go into a secret surveillance court and illegally spy on your opponent to be the next president of the United States.”

Patel noted the time it took: “I think that was 45 seconds. That took two years of my life.”

Then he revealed what the investigation confirmed: “And what did we find out? The FISA court themselves came back and said these warrants were illegal, that the FBI did not provide evidence of exculpatory evidence and innocence, and that the FBI essentially lied in those applications.”

Iran dark fleet bulging with oil unable to offload to any country. Other vessels unable to load up .
Their total storage will run out in a month or so as estimated .That will render their some of their oil wells unusable if they are shut down.

No need for shootouts. The blockade is enough.

Before Obama ,every president who was elected was generally accepted .
With Trump it became a non stop mudslinging fest.
Other presidents also just retired quietly without inserting themselves in the day to day affairs.
Obama came to the throne with a mission to change America .His plan needed solid democrats for at least 2 consecutive terms.His angst with Trump was the systematic reversal of his policies.

I have been saying that this gerrymandering needs to be escalated until both parties sit down and agree on a just and lasting solution.

Reports from today, May 8, 2026, indicate that a Chinese-owned oil tanker, the JV Innovation, was struck in the Strait of Hormuz. While the U.S. has explicitly accused Iran of the attack, Beijing has confirmed the incident but has stopped short of naming who was responsible.
The Vessel: The Marshall Islands-flagged tanker, which displayed markings like "CHINA OWNER & CREW" to deter attacks, was hit near the coast of the United Arab Emirates.

A Title 1 FISA warrant surveil 3 levels upwards.

Hop 1: The target of the warrant.
Hop 2: Everyone the target communicated with.
Hop 3: Everyone those people communicated with


Using the Steele Dossier FBI got a FISA warrant on Carter Page approved by Judge Boasberg.
He was working for Trump campaign.
Effectively FBI collected surveillance from Trump himself.
Carter Page sued several derp state actors who should be in prison and not legal analysts at MSNOW, CNN,etc.
