When it comes to politics and the media, we live in very stupid times and this story is proof. Now that Democrats have utterly failed to redistrict the state of Virginia, the liberal media outlet Politico is reporting that the Dems are pivoting to a ‘new’ strategy of demonizing Trump and blaming him for everything. This is new? Really? That’s news to us. It sounds like the oldest Democrat strategy in the book. Haven’t they been doing this since at least 2015? From Politico: As Republicans carve up Black districts, Democrats pivot to a new midterm message Democrats are changing...

🚨 LMFAO!! Hakeem Jeffries just had a schizophrenic MELTDOWN on camera as his party gets pummeled in redistricting, and can no longer benefit from race-drawn seats "The GHOSTS of the Confederacy has afflicted the United States Supreme Court majority, and is INVADING and HAUNTING the nation right now!" "We know this unprecedented assault on black political representation, the likes of which we have not seen since the Jim Crow era." 😂🤡🤡

The Supreme Court is continuing its agenda to allow states to impose race-neutral congressional district maps with a decision to allow Alabama to abandon a plan adopted by a lower court that demanded two black-majority districts, and the 6-3 majority left Sonia Sotomayor seething in rage. She claimed, as part of the minority, "The court today unceremoniously discards the district court's meticulously documented and supported discriminatory-intent finding and careful remedial order without any sound basis for doing so and without regard for the confusion that will surely ensue. As with all vacaturs of this kind from this court, the district...

State Rep. Juandalynn Givan (D-Birmingham) called U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) Associate Justice Clarence Thomas an "Uncle Tom" and the "one who sold us out in Africa" after a recent redistricting ruling on Monday. SCOTUS struck down a 2023 federal court-ordered Alabama congressional map on Monday. The ruling paves the way for Republicans in Alabama to likely pick up at least one congressional seat in the 2026 midterms. Republicans currently have a narrow majority in Congress, and redistricting battles are happening in multiple states across the nation. A special master hired by a three-judge panel in Birmingham redrew the map for...

Why does America have elected officials? If a visiting alien were introduced to the Democratic Party and asked that question, he’d surely say the purpose is to accumulate, consolidate, and hold power. This is the state of that party in 2026. Of course, this is not a new development. The Democratic Party has been moving from a traditional political group (with a long history of proposing poor ideas) to a mob that wants to rule over the country rather than represent voters, defend the Constitution, and uphold the rule of law. There’s no better example of this than the tantrum...

The Democrats have not been sending their best people for a long time, but at least they can avoid the errors an elementary school child makes. Not disgraced Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones, however. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Virginia Supreme Court overturned the Democrat Party’s rigged gerrymandering referendum last week in a 4-3 decision, ruling the entire sleazy process to sneak it onto the ballot was unconstitutional from the start. This was the latest devastating blow to radical Democrats’ blatant attempt to rewrite Virginia’s congressional maps mid-decade and hand themselves a super-majority in the U.S. House by turning...

Good News: Dems managed to spell Virginia correctly. Bad News: They sent their emergency application to SCOTUS to the wrong court. Baby steps.

Screencap of Twitter/X video. This weekend on CNN, liberal contributor Leigh McGowan threw a hissy fit when another panelist, Lydia Moynihan, was talking about the success of Spencer Pratt’s mayoral campaign in Los Angeles. It began with McGowan rolling her eyes but then she exploded when she couldn’t hold it together anymore. This is proof that Pratt is doing well. As Rush Limbaugh always used to say, the left will tell you who they’re afraid of. That’s exactly what is happening here. FOX News has details: CNN panelist Lydia Moynihan and political commentator Leigh McGowan sparred during a heated segment...

Democratic officials in Virginia asked the US Supreme Court on Monday to reinstate a congressional map that would benefit their party ahead of this year’s midterm elections, the latest map drawing appeal to reach the high court amid a flurry of mid-decade redistricting. The emergency appeal follows a decision from the state Supreme Court last week that voided Democrats’ attempt to redraw Virginia’s US House map via an April referendum in a way that would help Democrats pick up four additional seates. The Democrats are asking the US Supreme Court to effectively put that order on hold for this year’s...

It starts with the lamentation of their women: Things are going badly on redistricting, and Democrats are losing it. But it’s more than that. They’ve got themselves into a position — which began with Barack Obama’s hollowing out of the party over a decade ago — in which they can’t afford to lose the next couple of elections, even as their position erodes. Due to an “accidental error” in the 2020 census, blue states got more seats in the House — and more electoral votes — than they were entitled to. When that “error” is fixed, the situation will be...

Virginia Democrats' motion urging the state supreme court to temporarily halt its order against the 2026 gerrymandering referendum appears to include two major typos. Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones, alongside Virginia House Speaker Don Scott and State Sen. Louise Lucas, petitioned the Supreme Court of Virginia to delay its order which struck down the gerrymandering referendum, WTKR reported. The joint motion's first page misspells "Virginia" in the section identifying the plantiff and, just below it, misspells "senator" when identifying the defendants. "DON SCOTT, in his official capacity as Speaker of the Virgnia House of Delegates, et al.," the motion submitted...

Angry Democratic lawmakers held a venting session this weekend to complain about Virginia’s Supreme Court overturning its new gerrymandered map — and some of the Dems floated a “dramatic idea”: replacing the state’s Supreme Court in order to push through the new map anyway. That’s according to a report from The New York Times on Sunday afternoon. The paper reported “struggling” Dems like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) held a private discussion on Saturday, where they fumed about the court’s ruling from a day earlier. They also strategized a potential counterstrike. Journalist Reid J. Epstein reported the group discussed...

Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones appeared on MSNOW Sunday and delivered exactly the kind of racialized political rhetoric the modern left has made routine. The interview centered on Tennessee Republicans’ redistricting push, which would split Memphis into multiple congressional districts and likely weaken the state’s only Democrat congressional seat. Democrats immediately framed the move as an attack on black voters, while Republicans argued the map was about politics, not race. Redistricting is political by nature. Both parties use maps to gain power by controlling state legislatures. Democrats have done the same in states across the country. Massachusetts, for example, has...

Currently, wiser heads are dubious about the plan, but who knows what the Democrats will do if they feel they’re out of options? ast week, the Virginia Supreme Court, which has been considered a left-leaning court, surprised everyone, including the Democrats, by issuing a correct ruling: The rushed ballot initiative to gerrymander Virginia’s Republicans into oblivion didn’t pass muster, invalidating the election. Democrats responded with their usual “burn it all down” rhetoric. CNN’s Abby Phillip, in full “emo kid” mode, announced that America is now “in the depths of hell,” and that all black voters have been disenfranchised. House Minority...

Democrats are struggling to respond to a major redistricting setback in Virginia, with some party leaders discussing an audacious and possibly far-fetched idea for trying to restore a congressional map voided by the court but showing little indication they have a clear plan. During a private discussion on Saturday that included Democratic House members from Virginia and Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the minority leader, the lawmakers vented anger at their defeat at the Virginia Supreme Court, spoke about a collective determination to flip two or three Republican-held seats under the existing map and discussed a bank-shot proposal to...

n a wildly inflammatory segment on Saturday's edition of The Weekend: Primetime, MS NOW analyst Basil Smikle declared Republican-led redistricting and other moves tantamount to “an American version of apartheid.”In his view, restricting black civic engagement "rings very true to an American version of apartheid.”Earlier in the segment, law professor James Sample admitted that the Virginia Supreme Court’s decision striking down the Democrat mid-decade power grab was “probably right on the law” — before declaring it a “disaster for our democracy” anyway. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

🚨 LMAO!! Furious Democrats in Tennessee are now moving to SECEDE Memphis from the state because they're so angry Republicans redrew the Congressional map, eliminating the last racial Democrat seat Good luck with that 🤡 "LET MEMPHIS SECEDE! You don't have to redraw maps when you let us out! LET MY PEOPLE GO!" 😂 This is a sign of panic from the Democrat Party! Keep redistricting 🔥

MS NOW should be known as your channel if you're looking for overwrought racism metaphors. In a stunning segment on Saturday's The Weekend, Rep. Joe Morelle (D-NY) unleashed an unhinged attack on the Supreme Court and its recent Voting Rights Act decision — comparing it to the Taney Court’s infamous 1857 Dred Scott ruling and declaring the Roberts Court “one of the most racist courts in American history.” Here was Morelle to co-host Eugene Daniels: “Jose [sic!], we’re fighting back . . . Eugene, the Supreme Court, which by the way made the worst decision since the Taney Court came...

🚨 LMAO! Democrats are so panicked they didn't even spell "VIRGINIA" correctly as they move to appeal to the literal US Supreme Court, in a bid to revive their 10D-1R gerrymander "Virgnia" It's also rife with errors, including "Sentator" Whoever drafted this up was clearly frantic, as Democrats were hoping their cheating would be upheld for the midterms 🤣 Dems are now asking the VA Supreme Court to defer their mandate, pending SCOTUS ruling — which is very unlikely

Screencap of YouTube video. People in the left are absolutely frothing at the mouth over the decision by the Virginia Supreme Court that tore down their effort to gerrymander the state. Hasan Piker, an America-hating, self-proclaimed communist and streamer, who Democrats just can’t seem to get enough of, has alsready suggested violent revolution as a fix for the problem. It’s just amazing how political violence has become so normal for people on the left. They just want their way and will do anything to get it. FOX News reports: Leftist streamer calls violent revolution ‘inevitable’ as Democrats explode over Virginia...
