New Virginia Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger Signs Radical Redistricting Referendum to Flip House Map from 6D–5R to 10D–1R​

Newly inaugurated Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed legislation sending a radical congressional redistricting referendum to Virginia voters that would upend the commonwealth’s electoral landscape and hand Democrats a 10-1 advantage in the U.S. House delegation, expanding a 6D–5R delegation into a potential 10 Democrats, 1 Republican dominance.
Last month, Tazewell County Circuit Court Judge Jack Hurley Jr. issued a blistering ruling that effectively dismantles the Democrats’ partisan redistricting scheme, declaring their process unconstitutional and blocking any referendum on the matter until after the 2027 House of Delegates election.
The court ruled that the legislature failed to provide the mandatory 90-day public notice before voting on the amendment, a basic transparency measure designed to keep the public informed.

The optics and the narrative around ICE are awful for Trump (and by extension the GOP). That alone is going to make the midterms a bloodbath.

You may very well be correct, but on the flip side, millions of Americans voted for this.
Trump ran on closing the border and mass deportations. He won the EC, the popular vote, and all seven swing states. If those millions of Americans enjoy the optics as I do, it won't hurt the Republicans. But I don't know, just thinking out loud.

Trump accepts ownership of the current economy: 'I'm very proud of it'

In an exclusive interview with NBC News, the president said the country is already experiencing the "Trump economy."
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com
President Donald Trump says it’s his economy now.

In an interview with “NBC Nightly News” anchor Tom Llamas that aired during the Super Bowl on Sunday, the 47th president said the country is already experiencing the Trump economy.

“At what point are we in the Trump economy?” Llamas asked.

“I’d say we’re there now,” he replied. “I’m very proud of it.”







Day after his quote - most job losses in a January since 2009.


Bro needs to learn he can't hand wave shit away, especially when people are directly experiencing it. You can't convince me prices are down, when i pay things like my electric bill every month and can see the KWH rate right on it....

If you live in NYS your electric bill rates are coming from your democratic dream team. Hochul, Coumo, Shummer, etc.

I'm all for rounding them all up and deporting everyone who isn't legally supposed to be here. Unchecked and unenforced immigration has had dire consequences for this country.

I'm referring to more broadly, not me in particular. Electric rates are up massively nationally.

5 Big Reasons Why Electricity Prices Are So High Right Now

The average U.S. household is projected to spend nearly $1,000 this winter to heat its home.

People don't like being lied to and gaslit. You're going to run into pushback when you piss on people and tell them it's raining. People pay their electic bills. Buy groceries. Etc. You are not going to have success saying "everything is wonderful" when people's lived experiences don't match. Biden did it, and people hated him for it - and rightly so. Trump is trying the same play book, and it's not going to end well for him.

So much Republican messaging is so wrong.

Yes, I want every Illegal Alien deported.

But crucial to that task is shutting off the Welfare Spigot to the fraudulent. And unless the cheat is undocumented, ICE leaves them alone.

Rounding up illegals is good, but I believe the task of ridding the country of undocumented people would be more effective if they were simply entirely defunded.

And allowing gringo's like Governor Waltz to remain free is especially counterproductive.

For that matter, how much Federal Funding has Mass Governor Healy and NY Governor Hochul stolen? Enough to get them thirty years behind bars, I'll bet.

Prosecuting these pukes would take ICE off the Front Page real fast.

Also, forget about rounding up workers at places of business.

Round up the employers who are reporting huge wage expenses to the IRS for workers who they cannot prove exist, and are illegal to hire.

Shut down restaurants, roofers, landscapers.

Send the owners to prison.

Without a job, without welfare, without fraud, and with the 10K Bonus being offered to leave voluntarily, millions of illegals would repatriate.

And prosecute Public School Administrators that spend Public Funds on Foreign Nationals.

Who would enforce? Our "pals" in the FBI and IRS (with all the guns Biden bought for them) could make things real hot for these criminal employers without ICE hauling in a single "Mother with her crying Infant".

And our hard-working, underpaid tradesmen and service companies that play by the rules, would finally be free of the competitors who employ aliens.

Not a fan of paying people to leave. That encourages the behavior. If you paid people $1000 to leave your home after they broke into it, you'd just be inviting people to break into your home to get a "free" $1000.

Chuck Schumer: SAVE Act Requiring ID to Vote ‘Is Jim Crow 2.0’​

Thursday on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act was “Jim Crow 2.0.”
Schumer said, “It’s Jim Crow 2.0, and I called it Jim Crow 2.0, and the right wing went nuts all over the Internet. That’s because they know it’s true. What they’re trying to do here is the same thing that was done in the South for decades to prevent people of color from voting. For instance, if you change — you’re a woman who got married and changed your last name, you won’t be able to show ID and you’ll be discriminated against. If you can’t find a birth certificate, or a proper ID, you’ll be discriminated against. This is vicious and nasty. And I said to our Republican colleagues, it will not pass the Senate. You will not get a single Democratic vote in the Senate. We’re not reviving Jim Crow all over the country. And when the American people hear what exactly it is doing and what its intent is doing, they’re going to be against it as well.”

Given the results of recent elections the Republicans should be concerned if not terrified. Democratic candidates have won or made impressive gains in normally solid red regions. The sad part is the Republican establishment wants to lose so that Trump can be blocked for his last 2 years (as well as face another impeachment process).

Not sure who I dislike more - the progressive corrupt dems or the corrupt RINOs.

The strength and viability of the Economy depends on who's reporting it and who is in the White House: CNN + democrat = greatest economy ever! CNN + Republican = the Dollar is crashing and we're all going to die!

According to National Grid, the price charged for Natural Gas and Electricity are Billed at actual cost, what accounts for >60% of your Bill is the Service/Delivery Charges that in the face of FAILURE by democrats to set and maintain standards on a critical Monopoly, prices have skyrocketed, which may well be part of the Plan to discredit and pass blame for high prices on Trump and not on the State democrats that are exploiting it...Energy Costs ARE down, but crimminy, it's only been in Office 386 of 1,460 Days.

The strength of the economy does not depend on who is reporting it. Reporting on the state of the economy does depend on who is reporting it, but the underlying what is happening doesn't change at all.

As for electric prices.... Using the latest available data:


Electricity Monthly Update - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

www.eia.gov www.eia.gov

....Forty-six states and the District of Columbia saw increased revenue per kilowatt-hour (kWh) compared to last November, while average revenue per kWh increased by 6.8% on a national basis. The largest percent increase was in the District of Columbia, up 25.9%, followed by Pennsylvania, up 20.3%, and Ohio, up 18.6%....

Those damn democrats raising electricity costs in Ohio again, eh? The real cause and problem goes far outside of any sort of political party line.
