The Morning Report — 4/ 30/26
center>
Good morning kids. Unfortunately, my dear wonderful wife is addicted to listening to the inbred mouth-breathing credibly-accused intern-murderer Joe Scarborough and his blonde bimbo concubine Mitzi Baryshnikov on MSNSDAP, who almost daily give a platform to deranged scumbag racial arsonist Al Sharpton. While I do my very best to tune all of them out today the wailing and moaning of feces-to-the-face bootblack Sharpton are music to my ears as he flips his sewer-lid medallion over yesterday's glorious victory of America and civilization over his and his ilk's multigenerational strangulation of them.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday sharply limited the ability of states to consider race when drawing congressional maps, a decision that could reshape the balance of power in Washington and intensify redistricting battles ahead of the 2026 midterms. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito struck down Louisiana’s congressional map, which included two majority-black districts, as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. In the court’s 36-page opinion, Alito emphasized that “the Constitution almost never permits the Federal Government or a State to discriminate on the basis of race,” framing the central question as whether compliance with the Voting Rights Act justifies such actions. For the court’s conservative wing, the answer was no.Alito and the five other justices were absolutely correct, moral and courageous in upholding the ideals of our Constitution and the ideals behind the concept that undergirds our society, "American Exceptionalism": that is that our founding and society are the exception to every other society in history, which was based on tyranny and oppression of the citizenry. No doubt this is a big victory but I have a niggling (racist?) feeling that SCOTUS threw us a bone with this insofar as they've already made up their minds that they are going to preserve, protect and defend the bastardization of the 14th Amendment that allows foreigners to spawn on our shores to proclaim the babies as American citizens and then magically transmogrify the parents, uncles, aunts, cousins and others born elsewhere as Americans and ship them all in to become Democrat voters and welfare recipients. For sure the win yesterday is a gut punch for the Democrat/Leftists, but losing birthright citizenship would potentially be catastrophic for them. Unfortunately, Dobbs, Bruen and this ruling aside, SCOTUS and every court in the land cannot be trusted to do the right thing. Especially given what President Trump and many decent ordinary Americans have had to endure in the wake of J/6, School board and Pro-life protests that saw them persecuted by judges and prosecutors at the behest of Biden/Obama and their minions. With the clock running down on the Trump miracle administration, there is also talk about Alito and or Clarence Thomas retiring, who can the President turn to or trust to advise him as to replacements?
On Wednesday, the 2nd U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the president had raised his arguments too late.I'll complete the thought for the hack-in-black..."If only he didn't survive that assassination attempt, we'd hear the case... And then rule against him after they shoved the orangeman casket into the ground." And of course we have this that undergirds my fears about Birthright Citizenship:
The three liberal judges — all of whom usually support pro-migration claims — suggested they might block Trump’s actions on the claim that Trump may be partially motivated by racially discriminatory “animus.”Finally there's this insanity. And note who the judge is.
Brnovich,Judge Susan Brnovich of the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona on Tuesday said that the state’s voter registration list is not subject to requests from the U.S. Attorney General. Brnovich, a Trump appointed-judge, dismissed the case with prejudice because an amended complaint would be “legally futile.” The dismissal follows after after judges have ruled against the Justice Department’s attempted to obtain at least 30 states and the District of Columbia’s constituents date of birth, address, driver’s license numbers, and partial Social Security numbers. The Trump administration seeks the data to ensure states are complying with federal election laws and to check the citizenship status of individuals on the voter rolls.Gevalt. Alito and Thomas cannot and will not hang on forever, despite Thomas knowing full well where this nation is headed. God bless him for hanging on. Every second he lasts gives us a fighting chance, however brief.
Have a great day! One final totally random musing... Color me jaded but let's say that if I were a late night host and quipped "The Meathead got a meat cleaver" about Rob Reiner, I don't think I'd get the guffaws or invocation of the First Amendment that homunculus Kimmel got. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

In fact, he was no more a robber baron then the entire class of hard-nosed businessmen who in the 1800s became America’s first generation of today’s billionaires, using the free enterprise system to gather wealth to themselves while building vast industries that employed millions and made the lives of everyone better and more prosperous.
Who really was Jay Gould?

While I don't see it as all that important - certainly not to the level of flaming skulls and pudding cups, by any means - I am loving the Sturm und Drang from Dems about this Court case and impending redestricting.
They can no longer make the """legal""" argument. They can't even argue that this is gerrymandering and that gerrymandering is naughty - in practical terms, this will be de-gerrymandering, with rational districts being carved out of crazy ones.
All the wailing and beating of breasts boils down to "No! No! You can't take our Southern plantations AGAIN!!!! Desegregation is RACIST!!! REEEEEE!!!"

The Atlantic: Voters Can Be Disenfranchised Now
Just say it’s because they’re Democrats.
The people who safeguard and interpret the constitution basically said, “Screw this document!”
Republicans dismantling the Voting Rights Act while calling Democrats racist. 🤷🏻♂️ And the number of “dems are the party of kkk and Jim Crow” posts I’ve seen today is crazy.
Voting places by population numbers only. Close all the country voting sites. Maybe mail in ballots only. SCOTUS just ruled USPS is immune from lawsuits for intentionally not delivering mail...
Problem is that there are more GOP opportunities to gerrymander than there are Dem ones. I'm not saying don't do it, but the numbers suggest they if everyone does it the GOP comes out ahead in the end.
Why are Democrats fighting by the rules when Republicans are using asymmetrical warfare? Maybe arrest the ICE agents like they said they would, for starters? Gerrymander as hard as the GOP has? Just ignore rulings and do what they want (that helps their states) like the entire GOP does?

Also The left/GOPe: Ok, maybe there is a little fraud, but not enough to matter
Also, also the left/GOPe: We dismissed the case with prejudice because an amended complaint (noting the substantial fraud) would be “legally futile"

SCOTUS got this one right but I can see from miles away that they’re getting ready to issue an abomination of a decision on birthright citizenship… they can’t be trusted ever and when Thomas and Alito retire I think they’re essentially irreplaceable…

Yep. The difference now is Republicans are starting to play the same game Democrats have been playing forever.
Occasionally I'll see moderate/naive leftists argue we should have independent commissions to set districts but...setting districts is something that is always going to be decided in a partisan manner because it is so impactful and there are so many largely arbitrary decisions to make.

Problem is that there are more GOP opportunities to gerrymander than there are Dem ones. I'm not saying don't do it, but the numbers suggest they if everyone does it the GOP comes out ahead in the end.
Because you already gerrymandered everything possible to gerrymander.
That's how New England is 45% Republican with 100% Democrat representation.

Unfortunately, normy voters will by the midterms, so Trump needs to wrap things up quickly. I agree, it's well worth the investment longterm, but there are short-term issues to consider as well.“
The worst thing is that the longer it drags on, the more it starts to look like another Iraq or Afghanistan adventure. The blockade is having a huge impact, but it might take several months for that alone to drive them into giving up.

Pakistan has announced that they’ve opened six new overland trade routes for goods to travel into Iran, but I don’t think that’s very significant. The goal of the blockade was never to stop food from going in, it was to stop oil from going out. And the oil can’t be transported overland.

Supreme Court: racism is illegal!
Technically, they ruled that government enforced racism, in this one specific manner, is unconstitutional. All other instances of government enforced racism remain untouched, and personal racism - at least against whites - is still celebrated in many parts of the country.

If I recall my VDH history correctly, the Spartan blockade of Athens during the Peloponnesian War led directly to their surrender…. Probably not the only time such a strategy has been successful.
Now that I think about it, General Wainwright surrendered our forces on Corrigedor in WWII for essentially the same reason. So it definitely works

The most logical/common way to organize districts would be rural v suburban v urban
But that model would be very bad for the left as they overloaded in the cities. So one could imagine a state evenly divided into those districts with the exact same number of voters where the results are something like
Rural: 75R 25D
Suburban: 65R 35D
Urban: 10R 90D
Equal number of voters, the Rs take the region 2-1

If I recall my VDH history correctly, the Spartan blockade of Athens during the Peloponnesian War led directly to their surrender…. Probably not the only time such a strategy has been successful.
Near the start of the war the Spartans chased the Athenians into their walls as Athens believed they couldn't win a land battle in Attica, but the Athenians controlled the seas so they could send their soldiers abroad and get food from their colonies and allies.
Later the Spartans took away Athen's control of the seas. Now without the ability to farm locally or import food they faced starvation and surrendered.

People shouldn’t be surprised at the birthright citizenship case. I believe that they’ll limit the ruling to saying that the President has not the power to do such a thing by EO.

That's my guess. Maybe on the basis that an EO can be rescinded by any future President and the matter shouldn't be ephemeral.

Yesterday's opinion by Kagan was the most racist opinion delivered by the Court since Roger Taney darkened its halls.
The racism she, and her co-dissenters, possess is the kind of deep, ingrained and unquestioned racism built over a lifetime.
Where it has become so natural, that the racist beliefs are shortened to "common sense" and "everybody knows."
Look at her "wheel" example and tell me it's not racist in every aspect.
See, everybody knows that whites should not--and will not--vote for a black candidate.
Everybody knows that blacks are so inferior that they can only be represented by blacks (if they deserve representation at all).
And, everybody knows, since the law demands blacks be given a vote, it's best to confine and constrict them to one district, to prevent them from having any voice or power in the remaining 5.
That way, the whites can freely run the whole state.
And if the blacks need of anything from the state, the whites will see to it that their needs are met.
That's the kind of racism even the most racist former slave owner of the antebellum era would endorse.

Years ago I was reading a thread where some lefty had pulled by state numbers on obesity and the lefties were having a good laugh about all those fat southerners. No wonder they vote wrong they can't even understand they can't eat junk food all day and waddle around!
Another poster, not me, pulled the county data and referenced it by racial makeup. His data showed the counties that were mostly white were average in terms of obesity but the ones that were mostly minority ? Bigguns.
Now suddenly it was no longer funny to laugh at those fatties.
And in the years since then it is interesting the left has embraced "body positivity" in general and an argument that being obese is a core part of being black (which should be offensive as hell to black people)...but they still like laughing at the trope of fat rednecks.

Each district has 750,000 people, the shape must convex… probably more complex than that but it’s a simple notion. Enter the population distributions, run the algorithm and presto there’s your districts
But drawing districts is supposed to be political not mathematical so it should be in the hands of state legislators

The racial gerrymandering reminds me of the old line about race relations.
In the south whites don't care how close blacks get as long as they don't get too high
In the North whites don't care how high blacks get as long as they don't get too close

Before yesterday, the left was crowing how the CA redistricting "created VRA districts" by allocating Hispanic voters.
Even the author of the new districts was often quoted saying exactly that, that they used race to create the new districts.
This "giving Hispanics more districts" was cited as the reason why CA redistricting was "good" while the TX redistricting was "bad."
Now?
Oh, now they're all shut up and not saying a word.
Yes, the maps are in place for 2026.
But they're absolutely going to have to draw new maps.

I did read the majority opinion and it said (to me) you cant use race to gerrymander a district (here because it did not remedy an ongoing racial imbalance). But Louisiana actually said it set the District based upon race. Duh. One only need to say it's for partisan purposes which the Court ok'd.

The worst thing is that the longer it drags on, the more it starts to look like another Iraq or Afghanistan adventure.
If we don't have NG troops called up, it's nothing like Iraq or Afghanistan. If we don't have Americans being blown up by IEDs, it's nothing like Iraq or Afghanistan. If we aren't trying to turn Iran into Boise, it's nothing like Iraq or Afghanistan.

Sinistrally-handed refers to being left-handed or using the left hand as the dominant hand for tasks.

Setting the boundaries of congressional districts could be a purely mathematical problem…. Not a trivial one, but math only.
Go back to my example of a state with equal population in rural, suburban, urban regions.
My suggested split, make each region one district, gives the Rs a 2-1 win.
You could instead combine the urban and suburban areas into 2 districts and have a state with a Donk 2-1 win.
And I'm sure you could make some nominally non-partisan argument for it.

Another are where demographic breakdowns are deliberately obscured in order to make a political claim is the rise in measles cases. The Left (specifically Colorado’s governor this week) is claiming that measles cases are soaring in western states because of something RFK Jr supposedly did, or did not do.
They ignore the actual data, which shows that measles cases began to rise dramatically exactly when millions of unscreened and unvaccinated illegal aliens were allowed to flood across the border.

Well I see my overnight proposition that women, particularly leftard women - duh - are the victims of a targeted psy op that has worked wonders against them and society by and large, went over like a lead zeppelin. I didn't realize the thing that has been staring us all in the face for a decade or more is "misogyny", but there you go. I thought ettes were fully aware of what has happened to women as they have been "nudged" into being political animals?

It always made for some interesting coaching decisions because on every team I played on at every level there more lefthanded shots the right.
Doesn't sound like a big deal but it changes the angle of shots and defensive positioning/tactics.

Trump Vows to Maintain Iran Blockade Until Nuclear Terms Met — Tehran Threatens ‘Unprecedented’ Response
This is what, the 37th time the IRCG has threatened Israel and the US with an Unprecedented Response if they don't stop attacks or blockades? Rhetoric will not scare Trump. You know what is unprecedented? You losers are in a unprecedented, terribly weak, bargaining position.

Daily Wire -
WASHINGTON — Justice Department prosecutors in the Biden administration discussed their desire to target Catholic nuns, text messages shared with The Daily Wire show.
Communications obtained by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) show Joseph Cooney and Molly Gaston texting one another in February 2021 as they scoured media coverage of January 6. The texts specifically reference a New York Times photo of religious sisters who attended the “Stop the Steal” rally, wearing traditional habits and veils, as well as big Trump scarves around their necks.
“I would like to take a special assignment of finding and prosecuting them,” Gaston wrote to Cooney.
“I’m with you,” responded Cooney. “Although I’d like to prosecute any nun who still wears the head habit.”
“Hahaha,” his fellow DOJ prosecutor responded.

Susan Brnovich can certainly dismiss that case with prejudice, that's within her powers. The Federal government can, as previously noted, appeal that to SCOTUS and probably will.
But until then, it can also say "Fine. No more federal money for Arizona while it refuses to turn over the voter roles for audit purposes."
