Huge news from the Supreme court regarding the VRA

In a 6-3 decision racial gerrymandering has been struck out

My understanding is that the SCOTUS has ruled that using race to create a district is unconstitutional. The Louisiana district they created is just comical.
As I've been saying let every party play dirty until a court stops it or they dona bipartisan bill.

86ing is slang for eliminating ,removing unwanted also.

"8647" points to remove the unwanted 47th .
As FBI director,long serving US Attorney he knew exactly what that meant.

Unless he can prove he was an incapable FBI Director ( Who launched the Crossfire Hurricane)

I made three very long posts yesterday that proves Trump has been the most hunted president ever by the liberal left.

Fauci advisor indicted .

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mdd.603873/gov.uscourts.mdd.603873.1.0_2.pdf

Morens was indicted for manipulating science, facilitating the creation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and then running a cover-up operation. The evidence of the cover up is what busted him.

indictment, unsealed Monday in Maryland federal court, also notes two unnamed co-conspirators who “concealed, removed, destroyed and caused the concealment, and removal of federal records to evade FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] and FRA [Federal Records Act].”

Information in the indictment indicates the co-conspirators are Dr. Peter Daszak, the president of Manhattan-based non-profit EcoHealth Alliance, and Dr. Gerald Keusch, an associate director of Boston University’s National Emerging Infectious Disease Laboratory Institute and National Institutes of Health (NIH) grantee.

Morens, who served as a senior advisor to Fauci from 2006 to 2022, made his initial appearance in court Monday, and a judge granted him conditional release pending trial so long as he surrenders his US passport by Wednesday. He must also “avoid all contact” with the co-conspirators. (more)
“As alleged in the indictment, Dr. Morens and his co-conspirators deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID-19.
I have written extensively about Dr Daszak of Ecohealth Alliance.

Fauci lied, people died. He funded Wuhan through Daszak ,they bio engineered the coronavirus to make it deadly ,then unleashed it to the world. They lied to cover up it's origin, they used the virus to shut down the travel and the global economy, released and mandated covax.
On top of it all they used the pandemic to ensure mail in voting in 2020 was used on a massive scale.

In the wake of Jimmy Kimmel stale joke about Melania being an expectant widow, the FCC has made it's move against ABC.

https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/trump-fcc-review-abc-broadcast-licenses-jimmy-kimmel-melania-joke-1236732208/

The FCC is gearing up to launch a formal review of the broadcast licenses granted to Disney’s eight owned ABC stations over complaints about Jimmy Kimmel‘s joke about Melania Trump looking like an “expectant widow,” coming days before a gunman crashed into the White House Correspondents’ Dinner with the apparent intent to try to assassinate President Trump, according to a report.

The FCC, headed by Trump appointee Brendan Carr, “is moving toward a review of Disney’s broadcast licenses, according to people familiar with the matter, a maneuver that would up the pressure on the ABC owner as it faces fierce scrutiny from the administration — again — over a late night monologue,”

African American republicans would feel insulted by your post. Everyone has a right to support a party of their choice.
Id be glad to know if Condoleeza Rice, Clarence Thomas , Collin Powell or Dr Carson worship rich white Republicans.
Elon Musk has done more for humanity than most people , summing him up as a racist is actually yourself reasoning like the xenophobic South Africans .

One day someone will make me understand why liberals think they are more better than others which makes them waste endless time forcing everyone to accept their worldc views.
Start with liberal run cities .

cococandy:
Xenophobic black south Africans are acting like African and African American republicans. Think about the parallels.

-They hate their fellow commoners.✅

-They worship racist rich white men.✅

-They disregard the efforts of immigrants who helped build their economy.✅

-As we speak, rich white men own the vast majority of wealth in their country yet they think black Nigerians are the problem. Same way republicans think immigrants are the problem.✅

-pretty sure every crisis they have with Nigerians is somehow instigated by their white masters who continually brainwash them to see other poor people as the problem. That way they never revolt and ask for what’s rightfully theirs. ✅

-Elon musk took that apartheid mindset and came to America and he’s hoping he can add to the anti African American sentiment and open doors for racist white people from SA to America✅

You guys seriously have to be darft to not see the parallels here. You support republicans but have a problem with xenophobic South Africans when you guys are all the same? That’s crazy mind bending right there.

If Trump was Putin puppet why did he supply Ukraine with
Javelin Anti-Tank Missiles In December 2017, the Trump administration approved the first sale of lethal defensive weapons to Ukraine, which included 210 Javelin missiles and 37 launch units. These were delivered in April 2018.

Sniper Systems (2017): The administration authorized the sale of $41.5 million worth of Model M107A1 sniper rifle systems and ammunition in

Obama had refused to do that derogatorily sending them blankets plus other non lethal stuff.

DeepSight:
Start with the outcomes of his actions vis-a-vis Russia's interests.

1. Ukraine - Vastly reducing support to Ukraine, thus giving Russia the upper hand

2. NATO - His rhetoric about NATO reads like it was drafted by the Russian Foreign Ministry - they could not wish for better. NATO is the most important bulwark of the west against Russia and he threatens to destroy it.

3. Iran - He has lifted sanctions blocking sales of Russian Oil thus making billions for Russia. He has even extended that lift.

Start with these and focus on outcomes so as not to be dribbled. Then you will see clearly whats happening.

A deeper dive will require exhaustive discussion on what the Russia investigations revealed. And they revealed a lot that was not even denied, but going there will take too much time and energy when you are not worth such investment.

To be honest,I wanted the Russians to crush the EU and Joe Biden provoked war on Ukraine.
I still want Zelensky out , he is I believe blackmailing western leaders by kicking back some of the aid they give him.
I don't like his Azov battalion which is a neo Nazi group. The brigade was co-opted into Ukraine defence forces.
Russia lacks the killer punch , and from the onset I lamented their lack of achieving air superiority showed their military has a long way to go. Having missiles like iskander or Kalibr or drones like the Geran that are hard to shoot down is no substitute for air superiority. You must have seen how air superiority has taken out the Iran regime, weapons and factories.
Massive artillery firepower is what has enabled Russia control 20% of Eastern Ukraine. Russia primary goal was to prevent Ukraine replacing them as Europe primary energy supplier. Its largely achieved this .
Where's their famed T-14 Armata? Not seen in any meaningful action despite their hype.
Oreshnik by now should have had Zelensky leading a subterranean life like Nasrallah and Ayatollahs, instead he is all over the world.
I'm pretty disappointed with Russia to say the least.

I'm of the opinion that the war right now is on a stalemate,not much gain and lose ground . It's a senseless meat grinder with no real combat achievements for any side. Both armies too stretched out .
An attrition war can continue indefinitely.
Meanwhile the rest of the world suffers especially grains and fertilizer.Europe is paying higher for energy.

Iran sent around 3000 drones and missiles to UAE.
Now UAE has closed the money shops Iran used to channel proceeds from it's sanctioned oil.

UAE is pulling out of OPEC. Has infrastructure to ship 5 million barrels of oil per day but is limited by OPEC to 3.5 mpbd.

Nigeria should also pull out and export as much oil as it can.

The pervasive influence of oil is played out at the UN. 12 OPEC members tend to dominate the 57 members of the OIC at the UN General Assembly.UAE move will significantly undercut the UN policies on Palestinian and Muslim affairs. OIC members have demanded special considerations for islamophobia,literally forcing non oil producing countries to vote with them else oil goes up.

Egypt
Fast Fact: Egypt built 7 layers of wall and barbed wire and armed guards to keep Palestinians from the Gaza strip out of their country
Egypt has built a heavily fortified border to keep Palestinians from Gaza out of its country, complete with walls, fences, razor wire, and underground barriers.
Critics say that Israel has faced non-stop condemnation from the UN, college campuses, and MSM for securing its border after decades of suicide bombings rocket attacks, and even the Oct. 7th t*rrorist attack.

However, Egypt, an Arab m*slim nation, has a far stronger border system -and faces no outrage.

In 2009 Egypt started building a major underground steel wall along the Gaza border to block smuggling tunnels.

In 2014 Egyptian President Sisi announced the creation of a buffer zone along the Gaza border after a major t*rrorist attack killed dozens of Egyptian soldiers in Sinai.

He ordered the Egyptian military to to stop tunnels used by Hamas and other groups to arm Sinai jihadists.

Egyptian authorities destroyed more than 3,000 homes and other buildings.

The buffer zone was initially set at 500 meters wide and later expanded. Egypt also flooded many tunnels with seawater.

In 2020 Egypt sped up work on a new reinforced concrete and steel wall. Its about 20 feet high, reaches several feet underground, and runs along the full border.

Palestinian and Israeli media at the time reported the project was meant to end infiltration of extremists in both directions.

February 2024 Egypt added another concrete wall,and multiple layers of coiled barbed wire to keep Palestinians from Gaza out.

Iranian oil is sanctioned.You buy their oil the world boycotts and punishes you. China is the hungry one for oil ,it's impossible to prevent it from buying the oil The dark fleet of oil tankers docks at no ports They transfer the oil offshore to flagged ships with insurance. Ports don't accept ships without insurance especially oil tankers. Who'll pay for cleanup if a spill happens. Ships will boycott such ports
UAE has closed the money transfer shops for Iran. Chinese tankers would load the oil offshore (Ship to ship transfer from sanctioned tankers );then deposit money I to these UAE shops . That's not happening now.

The author details what happens if storage is full. Long term damage to Iranian economy .
Iranian missiles are useless when it comes to oil wells being shut down.
Iranian missiles won't make UAE receive and transfer Iranian money.
Iranian missiles won't make seaports accept their sanctioned fleets.
Iranian missiles won't force Lloyd's of London $ consortiums insure their dark fleets.

Mikasaobi:
Good write up, but tell the author that it doesn’t apply to reality.

Most of the naval blockade is happening online, they don’t come close to ships escorted by the IRGC. Even western media is reporting that tanker ships are going through.

What you and the author don’t realise is that all the ships in the so called blockade are within range of Iran’s anti shipping missiles and drones. When the shooting starts they will all run away from the battlefield like they did before. If you doubt this then ask the author why the USA couldn’t impose a blockade during the war.

The USA lost the war, they didn’t achieve any objective, begged for a ceasefire and extended the ceasefire because Iran didn’t care. Iran is not even thinking of a preemptive strike because they are very confident in winning round 2.

Even if the USA build up forces for 6 months it won’t make any difference. Everyone knows they will run out of missiles in 2-3 months and beg for another ceasefire, so why sweat it.

Taco and 🤡🤡 can act like they won and pretend the blockade is working if it makes you feel good, but you’re fooling no one.

Kemi Badenoch just delivered the line every western conservative leader has been dodging for a decade.
An lBC caller asked Badenoch how a muslim could trust The Conservative Party after shadow Justice Secretary Nick Timothy criticized mass ramadan public prayer in Trafalgar square as an act of domination.
Badenoch did not duck. Her opening, " My grandmother was a muslim. I was born in a country that was 50% muslim. I said muslim prayers on friday because that's what happened there when i was at school. I have good friends who are muslim".
Then the line. "In my view, the law and our culture and norms triumphs any religion, whether it s christianity, whether it is islam".

Then the clincher, " If we are trying to tell people that you are not allowed to criticize any religion, then we are changing the very fabric, nature and culture of this country. And I i fundamentally disagree with that. British law over religious law. British culture over religious deference. The right to criticize any religion christianity, islam, all of them is a non-negotiable feature of a free society, not a privilege the majority granted to the minority. This is the western mainstream conservative position".
Badenoch, daughter of Nigerian immigrants, raised christian, lived among muslims her whole childhood said it on national radio without hedging, without apologizing, and without softening it for the audience.
The British Conservative leader just said what every western conservative leader for the past decade has been afraid to say. That fear is dying.

Noone there protesting the removal of that statue was a "very fine person".
