An interesting question . . . We seem to have today is a great deal of the former and little of the latter. Recently, Democrat legislators fled Texas to avoid approving a bill by the governor to alter voting districts which would have given Republicans more seats in the house. Where did they flee? Why, to the two states which are well known for gerrymandering; Illinois and New York!
Illinois Governor Pritzker, a billionaire, is well-known for his skill at the practice. He welcomed the Texas hypocrites with open arms . . . and a huge belly . . . listing them as heroes. I guess that the governor has issued or is going to issue arrest warrants if they don’t return. That will be interesting . . .
And, of course, the Second Amendment continues to come under fire as attempts to disarm the Republic remain high on the Democratic list of mandates. I find it interesting that the Founders actually refused to the concept of a “standing military army” due to the way England used the concept to control the populous.
A classic example was that colonists were required to house soldiers stationed in the colonies at no expense to the Crown. Our Constitution specifically forbids it. The Founders felt that armed colonists could resolve any issues which may arise and an army wasn’t needed. Their right to “keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” . . . and the Second Amendment was born. Again, as always, an unarmed populace is necessary to control and control ensures power!
And the Democrat Party appears to be out of control. The situation in New York City is frightful. It is difficult to comprehend a socialist/communist individual winning the Democrat nomination by such a large margin. I think much of the blame goes to the quality of education young people are receiving in today’s public school system. For reasons I cannot accept, they actually believe everything is free: transportation is a classic example. The cost of public utilities in a city the size of New York is somewhere in the mid-seven figures or more. Who will foot the bill? The rich? Oh, the billionaires will be long gone!
And the phonies have come out supporting the mayoral candidate. Elizabeth Pocahantas Warren enthusiastically praised Mamdani’s efforts to establish a socialist/communist government in the country’s largest city, indicating that it was about time. She was quickly followed by “socialist” Bernie Sanders, both being first class hypocrites. Both are multi-millionaires with Warren’s estate valued at about 82 million and Sander’s a piddly 4 million. Oh, and Pocahantas annual income is estimated to be five million dollars!
The MAGA movement has recently targeted Washington, D.C., which has become one of the most dangerous cities in the country. It has reached the point where residents avoid going out at night. City government is highly liberal and law enforcement weak. Many arrested for crimes are simply turned loose without further action.
Until 1973, the city was governed and controlled by Congress and had no local entity. The Home Rule Act established mayoral and city council; however, Congress reserved certain control rights. Recently, due to conditions within the district, some are considering abolishing the local government and returning full control to Congress. As you can imagine, this was not well received by the left.
The Epstein fiasco keeps appearing in the news as does the Biden investigation. Subpoenas are being issued left and right. Prominent names include the Clintons although I doubt they’ll actually appear. A new investigation has begun into the efforts of Nancy Pelosi and others to get very rich using confidential material to their advantage with investments. I’m stunned! Sweet little Nancy a criminal? No way . . .
Lastly, gerrymandering is receiving a great deal of publicity with the Texas Democrats fleeing the state to avoid the approval of new districting. Governor Abbott is threatening to issue arrest warrants if they don’t return. This is something that has been going on for decades with Democrats being the primary offenders. It’s nice to see Texas and others going red.
