I wish I knew who was talking.

The issue is that partisan gerrymandering is legal. It’s been upheld by the Supreme Court.
States cannot draw districts that favor or hurt based on race.

The VA maps will not be struck down due to how partisan they are, but the SHOULD be overturned based on the process they used.
The timing of the election was not constitutional based on the VA constitution.
The other major issue was the misleading wording of the proposal. “Restoring Fairness” 🙄

The VA supreme court leans center right, which really should not matter.
The maps should be tossed due to the process that was followed.

Blessings to ed & Stillwater? 🙏💕

Day 98 of the 2nd year of the 2nd term of this very stable genius.  History is being made in the kingdoms of this world  in the year of our Lord 2026.

The purpose and goals of President Trump are plainly visible by his actions and consistent:  He is for the benefit  first of the common PEOPLE of this country, then of the PEOPLE in the rest of the world.   It is validating, even to our battered conservative skepticism.

The methods of his leadership are amazing. I still don’t get HOW he does it, or HOW he is able to get so much momentum going, but every day the momentum is growing. Everyone and every organization has their eyes opened every day — just by watching him. Even those who hate him, are biased against him, and want to see him gone — cannot ignore him. He lives rent free in their head, and they come around to seeing the universal principles by which he is operating. He hammers actions based on truth from one direction, then another, and they cannot mount an organized opposition against him.

President Trump is transparent in his words and actions.  He is consistent in what he says, what he does, and what he asks/demands of others.  His promises are bold and he keeps them like no other president has. He continues to make  massive, nearly overnight changes, not only in our country, but in the world. It is amazing that he is able to accomplish so much when there are so many snakes in the grass.  This second term, he is weeding them out faster and choosing like-minded servants who multiply his effectiveness.  No U.S. president has ever faced so much organized resistance and treason than President Trump

He has chosen to use his intellect and every skill he has to do what is right. He has tremendous faith that he can make a difference in this world. He has a confidence and courage such that he doesn’t care what others think, yet a humility to know he has to do it with the help of like minded people. Those people are the “common” people, and he ridicules those who think they are not common.  He does not show humility before men, but his actions show humility before God.  

He believes people are basically good. He believes that God is real. He believes that healthy people are happy people, and they need to be able to create wealth freely for their labor, and have the freedom to spend their money on what is good for them.

He believes the United States, with its Constitutional Republic, is the best environment in the world to enable and give opportunity for people to be happy and prosperous.

He believes that we can be a light for the world, but we must demand that the rest of the world respect us and our right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

He believes the enemy of our country are the stupid, greedy American people who have been selfishly taking advantage of this country; who betrayed the trust and obedience of its people; and who diverted the people’s wealth for their own selfish gain, at the expense of the principles of this country.  He’s not going to allow that anymore.  He is not afraid to call out our enemies.

He has cultivated and focused the family of MAGA. Identifying those people whose goodness, industriousness, trust, and obedience have been taken advantage of and abused. He has opened our eyes to this abuse,  and to the rights of freedom and self determination that have been quietly stolen from us.

He has rekindled the same healthy distrust held by our founders of government and men with too much power.   He has recultivated the desire to reclaim our freedoms and rights, and is empowering us with a hope and pathway to reclaim our spiritual and economic freedom.

He wants the US to be a light of hope on the hill for all people. He will negotiate win/win agreements with those nations and countries who respect us; who respect the principles and intent of our Constitution. If you do not respect us, however, we are not going to let you take advantage of our goodness, or share in our wealth at our expense. If you as a nation are treating your people badly, you are going to be treated less favorably by us, until you show that you value your people as much as we value ours.  He believes that nations who treat their people well will also be good economic neighbors with us.

He is convincing those who are very wealthy (most of whom truly earned their money), that the best economic soil in which to build wealth is in a constitutional republic, which supports the ability of the common man to earn wealth in proportion to his efforts. The economic engine of the United States is the human spirit freed to enjoy the fruits of honest labor, and that engine has more natural and raw horsepower than any other governed economy.

The Trump Train seems to be remarkably aligned with universal principles of Truth, which reflect the will and design of our Creator, and are the best standard by which we should live. These same principles were what our country’s founders used to declare independence, and framed into the Constitution of this nation. 

Our founders believed that a nation should preserve the right and freedom of an individual to seek, understand, and live by God’s principles.  They believed that free individuals working together in humility would make a stronger nation than a government which dictates its will on the people.  President Trump professes and seeks to lead and restore this nation back to these same principles.

These principles resonate deeply within all human beings, down to our DNA in every cell, in our spirits, and produce fruit that “miraculously” multiplies. Because we follow universal principles, we see the snowballing acceleration of momentum.  Lord please bring your power and might in the daily working of this sacred Nation you gave us.

Be good, be kind, be dependable, but don’t be late

Good!

But it only points out how Traitor John ThuneConnell has failed to put President Trump’s EO’s into legislation by hiding behind the Filibuster.

Even now, Thune/Schumer are denying the Secret Service Travel Pay, assaulting the Coast Guard financially to help the Cartels and degrading ICE and Homeland security functions in order to murder more Americans.

It’s not just President Trump. They want to murder us, too.

I don’t understand how a piss ant activist district judge can wield so much power and dish out so much chaos! What am I missing here?

Why don’t we simply attach the “secure” ballroom bill to the “secure” Save America Act for election integrity and call it a day? Both secured White House meeting facilities and secured voting processes to ensure election integrity are *essential* to our national security, wouldn’t you agree?

No less than the continued existence of our Constitutional Republic is at stake here.

I think the goal is to delay construction until Trump is out of office so the next President gets the credit. Why else these on again off again rulings? If they are going to stop the new ballroom it makes no sense. If the are going to let President Trump finish the ballroom it makes no sense. Both Republicans and Democrats wanted the new ballroom before President Trump started construction. So the Democrats delaying it rather than stopping it makes sense. They certainly don’t want it known as the Trump ballroom forever.

Lone Star bought the $340M Goldman Sachs note & trust deed on the property for $139M. Lone Star initiated non-judicial foreclosure proceedings. At the trustee’s sale, no outside bidders appeared. Lone Star credit-bid its $139M, and received title to the building.

So, bottom line, the building is worth somewhere between $0 and $139M.

The clock begins when Nance isn’t on this side of the daisies. The gangsta moll has been an effective speaker for her party. And Speaker Johnson – at the very least – was able to move quickly on the Big Beautiful Bill and the Save Act (which is collecting dust because it can’t muster five senators to provide us plankton with a fairer voting system).

Look at it this way. Demonrats had made their “concerns” over the “affordability crisis” known. At least here they have done something about it…

Mamdani wants it all to go back to the government for back taxes and then he will tear down the existing buildings and build his government housing on the property. His plan is basically government theft, which is why he went after the landlords right away. He will make it so expensive they default and no one else will buy the property.

The second one begs the question – has the EPA since changed their stance and now requires the cancer warning label – or even better yet, have banned it from use on land crops are grown or feed animals graze?

If not – WTH not?

Perhaps MAHA and Kennedy can get involved…

You know how Jimmy Carter was thrilled that Barack Obiden had taken the title “Worst President Ever” from him?

That’s how Monsanto feels about Pfizer.

here is a direct link to the audio for when the arguments go live.

I have the impression the one about geo-fencing will have long term repurcussions, especially since it was used by True the Vote to locate ballot box stuffers and where they were working from (obtaining the ballots to stuff) as well as the January 6 attendees where the govt used that to track down, by cell phone pings, who attended the rally that day.

Even as a young Communist, Leo the Cowardly Lion never objected to the Soviets pointing missiles at Europe. He only objected to President Reagan’s countering of that threat. In other words, defund and disarm the good guys and serve those doing evil.

And he’s still at it.

My question is: Why does J.D. Vance keep giving these guys cover?

#DeepChurch/DeepState

Interesting point. There does seem to be a desire to paint the popes as communists by giving the Catholic faithful Popes John Paul II and Benedict as the non-commie choice.
However:
People seem to also forget that Pope John Paul II openly condemned the Iraq War, using much of the same language the last three popes have used. He also condemned the “free market economy” (the one that gave us NAFTA) as a false capitalism. And said a lot about protecting the environment. And all of the popes since John Paul II have said roughly the same things about homosexuality. They’ve all been remarkably consistent on this.

NATO can be justified until 1992, when President Reagan toppled the Soviets. Instead, the Clintons and Soros repurposed it for Organized Crime. It has not yet fully recovered.

Ike: “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”

Actual Presidents at Camp David

They certainly tried.

Ironic that last Friday was World Peace Day.
I believe that God has a hand on both of our president’s shoulders.
🙏🇺🇸
I pray for personal guidance –along with gratitude for placing our leader on this path during these times.
🌄🙏
Blessed are the peacemakers who have answered the call, who guide, remain strong and continue moving forward. (Sundance is a fine example.)
😇💕🙏

Embracing the dark through lies and violence will ultimately consume those who partake. I remain informed. However, I will not allow their darkness to consume me.

Hilarious, “peace” movement of the 1960’s, born into it & remember well the peace of 1960’s, on our black/white tv with images of war, American cities with civil unrest, President murdered in his own car during public event, the University of Texas Tower Shooting killing many, our precious Martin Luther King murdered, Malcom X murdered, R.F. Kennedy murdered, capping off in early 1970 with Kent State murders.

Remember a layer about MLK, never forgotten, young white adults men/women driving South to march with “Marching Luther”. The day MLK was murdered, he was in town to meet with the largest men’s workers trade group, think ‘white’, to find a way to work together. Only discovered this, asking a UGA professor about MLK a few years ago.

Should I throw in all the women falling dead in my neighborhood after taking the PILL, the first wave, in the 1960’s ?

There are more murders, but I will end with the Apollo 1, 1967, fiasco killing 3 Astronauts. NASA was warned of that all oxygen atmosphere, but there was no budget nor did it fit National timeline and space race with Russia. Amazing what 1960’s kids overheard before ipads etc…. we listened to the adults.

After oil embargo, 1970’s, overheard some really interesting stuff. But the 1960’s enough for here.

It is HAMAS, The parents said so

And the libs at WGN were not going to name him until after his court appearance…26th and California will be busier than usual on this Monday morniong.

If four out of nine justices say YES, a case will reach SCOTUS (only 80 cases/term out of 7K petitions make it). Besides rare occasions (e.g. Loisiana v Calais’ 2nd hearing), after oral arguments were heard, SCOTUS will issue an opinion.

2026RulesoftheCourt_WEB.pdf

5-6 justices with Republican-leaning backgrounds or appointments during periods of Republican legislative influence, and 1-2 with Democratic ties (particularly Fulton III, selected amid stronger Democratic legislative influence, and possibly Powell or Mann from split-control periods).
The court is frequently described as center-right.

I have read the GOP complaint, and it appears to be solid on the merits.
I agree that you never know until the fat lady sings.

Oh. OK. Nothing to see here, wrong droid.

So says Big Brother!

Mike …I saw it also and cant read it either …………

Here’s the skinny.

Oil comes out of the ground based on pressure differential. It’s cheaper to extract when something is squeezing it. So how do you squeeze oil out of earth hundreds of feet underground?

Engineers discovered that if you pump water under the oil deposit, it increases the pressure above the water, and the crude comes out faster and cheaper. That water in Iran was already pumped under the fields weeks ago, so it could keep filling the cracks to push oil up. Oil comes out of the ground, and it needs to be stored and sold. And for the last 40 years, it’s been loaded on ships and sent to other ports in a finely tuned cash machine.

And there’s a catch. If you don’t pump the oil out, the water mixes with the crude oil underground, equalizing the pressures and diluting the oil. You hurt your ability to extract more oil in the future, and you may potentially kill your well both physically and economically.

Blocking the ships will prevent outflow. This blocks the storage, blocks the pipes, blocks the extraction at the wellhead, with enough time. That’s where the “3 weeks to kill the wells” comes from, as all that water that was already pumped a month ago is slowly mixing like a ticking clock. Trump knows that Iran/China cannot afford to kill the golden goose, but the regime will die either way. That’s the war of attrition right now, and it doesn’t even require boots on the ground. Just time.

Yes wells can be re-worked but very expensive and time consuming.
.
And zero money coming into Iran for many days already.

Many have questions about it.
If you read it yourself you’ll likely find out.
I used to have contempt for I didn’t understand.
Now I’m different, kept an open mind and asked God to help me.
The Bible tells us everything we need to know and God will help you understand it.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1, NIV)

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16, NIV)

The Greek word for ‘Word’ in John 1:1 is Logos(λόγος) and ‘Scripture’ in 2 Timothy 3:16 is Graphey(γραφή). Though ‘Word’ and ‘Scripture’ are very much related, they are necessarily not the same.

The ‘Word’ in the context of John-1 is a divine entity, which is Jesus Christ, who existed in the beginning with God. ‘Scripture’ in the context of the Bible mostly refers to the written words of God. Scripture is a subset of the Word. The Scripture may represent the Word and illustrates the picture of the Word but it cannot fully explain it, because scriptures are written in human language which has limitations to describe Heavenly things

That is definitely a winner!
