Saturday has arrived, prompting a look back at another news-filled week, and requiring an edition of News and Views.
NEWS: The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 vote, ruled that voting districts cannot be configured for reasons of race.
VIEWS: The particular case involved a bizarre Congressional district in Louisiana designed to provide an almost certain win for Blacks and Democrats, with said district running 325 miles, give or take, from New Orleans in the southeast portion of the state, to Shreveport in the northwest, the better to capture pockets of significant Black population. Justice Samuel Alito, writing the majority opinion, noted it almost never is condoned by the federal or state authorities to discriminate on the basis of race. Predictably, the DEI wing of the court provided the three minority votes. And Democrats are screaming about a lack of proportional representation as defined by race among the Louisiana House seats. Funny, these same Democrats see no problem with New England states having zero Republican House members and California having a 45-9 edge for Democrats despite a full 40 percent of the Golden State population voting for Donald Trump in the last presidential election, which would mean Republicans ought to have – minimum– 21 seats, if things were proportional. Math truly is racist, or at least a female dog.
NEWS: Maine Governor Janet Mills has dropped out of Democratic race to decide a challenger to Republican incumbent Susan Collins for one of the state’s U.S. Senator positions.
VIEWS: Now, Democrats likely will field an oyster farmer with a Nazi tattoo, that he since has covered up, and a history of anti-Semitic social media posts and other actions he says were made in an earlier period of his life and no longer apply. There’s a lot of Democrat failure to unpack here. Crying Chuck Schumer had hand-picked and supported Mills to beat Collins. Mills is something of a victim of Trump Derangement Syndrome, getting into a yelling match with Trump over her insistence that trans males should be able to beat on biological females in sporting events. I’m just glad I don’t need to vote in this election, because I’m not sure a would-be Nazi oyster farmer is a worse choice than RINO Collins, a political opportunist always willing to undercut her party and who is someone who spends so much time straddling the political fence it’s a good thing she’s not a biological male risking damaging the family jewels should she slip on that fence.
NEWS: Former Democrat mayoral candidate in New Jersey, Henrilynn Ibezim, has pleaded guilty to charges of trying to submit approximately 1,000 false applications for voter registrations.
VIEWS: One small-time Democrat mayor candidate, 1,000 or so fake voter applications, and, according to analysis, only 3-4 people doing the writing. Why is it that evidence of the election fraud that Democrats insist doesn’t exist, keeps cropping up? And why do Republican “leaders” such as the Senate’s John Thune not believe the SAVE Act is essential to the nation’s future? By the way, Ibezim’s punishment for this blatant violation, the sort of thing hyperbolic Democrats would label a threat to Democracy were it perpetrated by a Republican, is, wait for it, probation. Nothing to see here. Keep moving.
NEWS: After a quiet period, Johnstown again is being plagued by shootings.
VIEWS: Yes, they happened in Moxham. No, nothing will be done about it, other than candlelight vigils, police requests for leads, and condemnation of anyone who suggests Johnstown continues to be a dangerous place to live.
NEWS: The Marine One helicopter carrying President Trump made a low pass directly over the Washington, D.C., National Mall, which was sprinkled with anti-ICE May Day protesters.
VIEWS: The pathetic boobs on the ground gave the helicopter the obligatory one-fingered salute, presumably as Trump and his pilots erupted in side-splitting laughter. The only thing better would have been had the helicopter descended farther and treated the crowd to much-needed bath in rotor wash.
