Blue states appear to be on the brink of a growth decline after a census analysis released Tuesday found that Democratic strongholds are likely to lose congressional seats to their Republican counterparts after 2030. New York and California specifically are projected to lose a combined six seats, while Texas and Florida may gain eight, according to the 2025-based estimates forecast by Jonathan Cervas at Carnegie Mellon University and shared by Redistricting Network.

As described in Sean McMeekin’s To Overthrow the World: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Communism, where it has been adopted, communism has become politically dominant mostly at the point of a spear. In Russia and elsewhere, when Communism first took over the state, famine was an early result. By 1922, Lenin had to adopt a New Economic Policy (NEP), which allowed at least some limited access to market-driven commerce in order to suppress a possible counter-revolution. After Stalin’s death in 1953, Khruschev was appalled by the empty shelves in Soviet stores. Shortly after McMeekin’s book got off the...

Over the weekend, Yukon and the Northwest Territories confirmed that they would have nothing to do with a federal program to remove “assault-style” firearms from private ownership. The two territories join Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, as well as an ever-growing list of police departments and police unions saying the program isn’t worth their time.

He explained that additional deliveries are not possible because the Bundeswehr is still waiting for replacement systems and must preserve its ability to train personnel and maintain operational readiness for Patriot air defense operations....
