Democrats, from Barack Obama to Hillary Clinton to former AG Eric Holder have spent the last couple of years sounding the alarm about the “danger to democracy” that is Republican gerrymandering: ======================================================================================= This is a real danger to our democracy. Republican gerrymandering means that bills not supported by the people (like the abortion ban in Texas) become law and majority rule becomes impossible. Demand a fair redistricting process. #NDRC https://t.co/eol2lUYVIt — Eric Holder (@EricHolder) October 5, 2021 ======================================================================================= The passage of the Texas Senate’s congressional map is yet another blatantly partisan attempt to ignore demographic facts. GOP-led legislatures are attacking...

The FAA is headed by a pilot, NASA is headed by an astronaut, the US Marine Corps is headed by a Marine but for the fourth time in a row, and during the worst shipping crisis of the century, the US Department of Transportation, has appointed someone to the US Maritime Administration (MARAD) who is not a captain and has no commercial shipping experience. Yesterday afternoon, President Biden announced his intention to nominate Rear Admiral Ann Phillips, US Navy (Retired), as the next US Maritime Administrator, a position that has been vacant since Rear Admiral Mark Buzby stepped down following...

Why would the FBI do this? We honestly don’t get it. Yeah yeah, we’re naive and stuff, but this just seems so underhanded and outright evil. Take a look: You’re gonna want to read this one. In June 2020, a guy named Stephen Robeson held a “National Militia Conference” in Ohio. He pestered ppl tied to “militia” groups around the country to go. But Robeson isn’t a militiaman —he’s a longtime FBI informant:https://t.co/LuDukNXoAz — Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 (@julie_kelly2) October 15, 2021 From AM Greatness: According to BuzzFeed’s exceptional July 2021 investigative report on the FBI-led plot to kidnap Michigan Governor...

Virginia law requires public schools to report specifically named serious crimes. Rape is obviously a serious crime on that list. But the Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) has refused to report those. They have a clean record. It is little wonder that they claimed they had "no reports" of sexual assaults in bathrooms. They have no reports of any sexual assaults -- it's their policy. They've been covering up sexual assaults at least as early as 2018. Luke Rosniak dug up a sexual assault that took place in the LCPS system in 2018. A boy was sexually violated by other...

George Takei’s decades-long feud with William Shatner is rocketing into space. The “Star Trek” actor threw enough shade at his former on-screen captain to cause an eclipse, as he dismissed Shatner’s flight this week on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin capsule and described him as “not the fittest specimen.” “He’s boldly going where other people have gone before,” snarked Takei, 84, when Page Six asked him what he thought of Captain Kirk’s brief trip Wednesday to the edge of space. “He’s a guinea pig, 90 years old and it’s important to find out what happens,” Takei added, as he spoke at...

“The meat is above and beyond all right?” Fadia Chamoun of Lexington lamented as she packed her trunk full of groceries. “It has gone sky high. Everything has gone sky high and it’s extremely sad.” If it feels like lately everything is more expensive, that’s because it is. “The government [just] released that prices over the past 12 months have increased 5.4% and that marks the fifth month in a row of over 5% price increases,” Boston University Questrom School of Business professor Jay Zagorsky explained. “That means that roughly every 14 or 15 years, all prices double. Everything is...

The Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA) has withdrawn from the National School Boards Association (NSBA) because of the NSBA’s letter suggesting the recent behavior of individuals in school board meetings could eventually rise to the level of “domestic terrorism or hate crimes.” PSBA wrote bluntly, “The most recent national controversy surrounding a letter to President Biden suggesting that some parents should be considered domestic terrorists was the final straw.” The memo began, “The Governing Board of the Pennsylvania School Boards Association has voted unanimously to cancel PSBA’s longstanding membership in the National School Boards Association. The decision was reached following...

Whether or not we're approved for that loan is determined by our credit score -- except, in one case. According to a report published by CarsDirect on Friday, Ford has removed the minimum credit score requirement for its 84-month car loans . This can be considered problematic for a few reasons.
