FAFO

21 State Senators of Indiana voted against redistricting in Dec 2025. They joined democrats in a 31-10 vote against gerrymandering.

10 were up for reelection yesterday.
2 did not run for reelection.

6 of those have lost to Trump endorsed rivals who won by over 60% .
Only 1 was certain to retake his seat.
The last one, D23 race is also too tight and has not been called .

Traitor Pence candidate also lost.
This one failed to listen to what the electorate wanted.

9/10 Trump endorsed candidates won last night I including Vivek Rama-something.
Media has been saying Trump voters have left him.

The only two countries that have gotten away with brazenly attacking other countries are Israel and the USA.

The record of the USA in this regard is abominable and no other country comes even close since the second world war so shattap and sit down.

You have gone fishing hoping to end the debate.
You want an answer to the effect that blacks are intellectually inferior to the white people, noone has alluded to or remotely implied that.
You are now a deep-sea fisherman. smiley

On December 8 ,2016 Obama was briefed that months of Intelligence had concluded
1.
Putin interfered with American elections
2..
His influence was negligible and of no effect
3.
He preferred a Hillary Clinton victory

He rejected the IC assessment and ordered them to rewrite it to show that Putin helped Trump win..
In 3 weeks Eric Ciaramela ,, Peter Strzok and 3 others produced another IC assessment (under direction of John Brennan,James Comey and Clapper) that concluded Putin helped Trump. An assessment takes months ,this one took 2 weeks and was released on Jan 5 or 6 2017 in time to stain Trump.. Completely made up ,included Steele dossier and third hand hearsay. The drafters protested inclusion of the hearsay but were ordered by Brennan to include .

You know the last couple of weeks have really schooled me on this thread. Not that I didnt know previously how MAGA peeps can be, but the schooling has drilled it down. You know, there is a syndrome named for people who think they know much about subjects they know nothing of.

It is called the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Dunning-Kruger effect, in psychology, a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge or competence in a given intellectual or social domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain relative to objective criteria or to the performance of their peers or of people in general.

The 2026 return to Trump National Doral felt "low key" due to a perfect storm of competition and logistics:

Major Scheduling Conflicts: It coincided with the Miami F1 Grand Prix and the Kentucky Derby, which siphoned off the local audience and media attention. The Miami grand prix was held only 17 miles away over 3 days coinciding with the golf tournament.

Poor Attendance: The tournament saw empty grandstands and light crowds, likely due to high ticket prices ($88+) and a decade-long absence from the venue.

Security Restrictions: Donald Trump’s presence required intense Secret Service screenings and TSA-style checkpoints, which created a "muted," high-security atmosphere for fans and players.

Weather & Field: Heavy rain delays and the absence of several top stars, like Rory McIlroy, further dampened the excitement of Cameron Young’s wire-to-wire win.

Israel gets aid. 99% of the aid is for military purposes.
Every other US aid recipients includes significant Direct Budget Support aka cash .
The US spends more on its Japan base than the aid to Israel
Israel aid is weaponry supplied by military contractors who get to battle test them in real combat.
So yes , Israel aid more than helps American jobs. Israel is the largest American foreign base when it comes to intelligence.

Overall Israel has received about $400 billion . Everyone can see where that aid goes.
How about the $6 Trillion dollars spent on blacks. Where is it? Have black American invented an air defense system, a vaccine , a CPU , drip irrigation etc like the Israelis?

It seems you’re here to be an ignorant Zionist shill.
It should not be a problem asking what black Americans have done with all the federal aid given to them . African continent has received trillions of dollars in aid, with little to show for too. These are vital questions black people should be asked.

what’s good for the victims is always the priority
I have no problem with victims getting the medication through mail.
A doctor doesn’t decide if the sex was consensual. If the victim says it wasn’t, then it wasn’t. If they’re underage, it’s non-consensual even if they say otherwise.
Please don't say that.The physician doesn't just look at the genitlia she /he also reads the victims mind and is better placed to know why she doesn't want the child.

A third party doesn’t get to decide for the victim if they were abused or not. This is why I don’t engage internet boys on this topic . You guys talk nonsense a whole lot. Talm bout some “the doctor will decide if it was non- consensual” 🙄

If an abuser points a weapon at you or threatens you with physical harm and you give in, there will be no physical signs of aggravated assault. Does that mean it was consensual? Pls I’m begging you people to think about what you say before you say it.

Would be interesting to see what’s exactly in the bill. Or knowing Nancy Mace, wouldn’t be surprised if it’s another disguised attack against the LGBTQ community under the guise of protecting the kids. While actively supporting known paydoughs and credibly accused raypists.
Death Penalty for Child Rapists Act” — Nancy Mace just introduced a bill that says if you rape a child, you don’t get a second chance.

Nancy Mace put it bluntly:

“Rape a child and you don’t get a second chance.”


She is a self confessed victim of abuse.

Counseling the victims on what? The need to keep a rape offspring? Yea I’m not in support of punishing sex trafficking victims with pregnancy. What do you think they’ll do if the girls are pregnant and can’t be sold for sex anymore? You think they’ll let them go? No sir.

They’ll kill them if they can’t make profit off of them anymore. Or they’ll find the most barbaric way to abort the pregnancy. Abortions predate the abortion pill. The pills are a mercy. A savior from coat hangers and rusty dusty unsanitary backyard abortion providers.

Listen to me (a woman and a healthcare professional) when I tell you that access to abortion is a life saver for women in all categories of life. It’s not a conversation I find fit for men to engage in. Most of you don’t have a basic understanding of the ramifications involved in forced birthing for women.

Especially when you say things like the doctor will determine if the sex was consensual. So if the doctor decides the sex was consensual then we force her to carry the baby? I can’t with you guys..
It's my suggestion that victims go through counselling especially f the victim is taken by an older person to the doctor .
A doctor can't determine consensual sex but can tell the victims age for example to know more. Can read tell tale signs of a victim who's been pimped out , for example if she doesn't know who is responsible. You know better than me the layman .
My whole point is that mail order pills are good for pimps and child abusers.

Seattle’s Socialist Mayor Tells Starbucks to Get Lost, Then Waves ‘Bye’ to the Jobs and Taxpayers Fleeing Her Tax-Happy City

Seattle just proved once again why businesses are packing up and heading for red states with lower taxes and saner policies. Fresh off her election win, socialist Mayor Katie Wilson stood with striking Starbucks workers and called for a full boycott of the iconic coffee giant born and headquartered in her own city.

“I am not buying Starbucks, and you should not, too,” she declared at the rally.

Fast forward a few months: Starbucks announces a massive $100 million investment in Nashville, Tennessee, shifting up to 2,000 high-paying jobs there as its new Southeast headquarters. The timing could not be clearer.

When pressed on businesses and millionaires bolting over Washington’s new 9.9% tax on income over $1 million, Wilson dismissed the exodus at a Seattle University event.

“I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are like super overblown,” she said with a laugh. “And the ones that leave, like, bye.” She waved her hand dismissively as the crowd chuckled.

Reporters tried to follow up. Wilson snapped back that it “is not the subject of our press conference,” claimed the Nashville move had been planned for years, and let her staff shut it down. Classic progressive denial.

This is the same failed playbook destroying blue cities across America. Punish success with sky-high taxes and hostility toward employers, then act shocked when the jobs, investment, and revenue vanish. Seattle’s residents get higher costs, fewer opportunities, and crumbling services while Nashville booms.

Wilson’s flippant “bye” attitude reveals the left’s contempt for the producers who fund their utopia. Tax the rich until they leave, then hunt for the next target. Conservatives have warned about this capital flight for years. Seattle is living proof they were right. Voters who cheered this disaste


Democrat policies are also to blame for black poverty. When they overtax the wealthy who eventually leave . They bring in illegals to do the work Americans won't do . They defunding police, they want sanctuary cities and vilify ICE efforts. They enact climate centric policies driving energy costs higher and chasing away existing businesses plus any new investors.
They allow paid protesters who disrupt businesses for days on end. The foolish people elect judges and prosecutors who want criminals to get minimum jail time They talk of replacing police officers with social workers to stop domestic batterers and shooters

Awesome. Children don’t have to bear the children of their abusers. They have been traumatized enough by the abuse. They don’t need a living reminder of it. It’s a good day
It's awesome for the victims who go through it. It's not awesome for abusers who are encouraged to lock up their victims. A physical appearance before a doctor may reveal whether the sex was consensual.

Next step, imprison and/or kill all the people rayping the kids. I’m on board with that. Let’s go!

And furthermore, don’t vote them into office.
Rep Nancy Mace already has such a bill. Death penalty to a specific category of child abusers. Vote out those who will be against it.

There are cases of girls and boys who unable to pay cartels their money hold them in servitude pimping them out to abusers. Granting the cartels access to abortion pills is literally selling out the trafficking victims.
Those pills should not be OTC , as I've suggested abortion should be only be allowed after counselling the victims .

Supreme Court restores access to abortion pills mail.

Pimps and paedophiles can rape children and order abortion pills without the women having to face a doctor.
But the good thing is that reproductive rights to all women have been restored.
