re: A third of Congressional Black Caucus could be wiped out by redistricting, Democrats warn
Posted by tigeraddict on 5/13/26 at 1:56 pm to L.A.
If it’s truly an issue, then white democrats in blue states should sit out elections to let more blacks seek office…….
Since that is not happening, then this is just a “fight” for less R seats and more D seats…..

not just the presidential was decided close. had there been 27k less votes going to Ossoff in the November Senate race that year, Perdue wins and there is no runoff in january. Ossoff winning gave a 50:50 senate with kamala the tie breaker. flip that seat and you have a R majority....

Since it's late in the election process, this seems bush league. But you know what? I don't care.
Like they ruled last Monday after the Louisiana decision the justices said it would be unfair to make Louisiana use an unconstitutional map for another election cycle.
Remember we used to have a “jungle primary” in the fall. So we are used to having a late election.
re: Virginia Democrats ask US Supreme Court to let them use new congressional map

If republicans can use the Supreme Court for their redistricting efforts, the democrats should be able to as well.
Republicans (LA AG) appealed a lower court ruling that forced them to create a 2nd minority district. Supreme court ruled that the votign right act section 2 did not call into play the creation of a district solely based on race.
Virginia republicans appealed to the state courts that the process the state legislature followed was against the process in the state's constitution, and won a restraining order, dems appealed to state supreme court. state supreme court ruled that the dem state house did not follow the constitutional process for adding an amendment to the ballot and ruled the ballot measure void. they did not rule on the merits of the redistricting.
why would the US supreme court take up a case pertaining to a violation of an individual state's constitution?

so who gave them the uranium?
quote:
Based on a May 2026 report, Venezuela obtained its highly enriched uranium (HEU) decades ago from the United States and the United Kingdom for its RV-1 research reactor, which operated from the 1950s until 1991. This 13.5 kg stockpile of material, enriched above 20%, was recently removed from the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC) in a joint operation involving the US, UK, and the IAEA, and transferred to the US for processing and reuse

or is he using the trip to China to give Iran the false sense of security that it won't attack until after the visit.......
just like attacking during the day in the initial attack on its leadership.....when Iran thought they were safe till night

My lab is almost too smart. He learned where it was ok to shite on our morning walks. Knows what the sounds on life360 mean. Learned to sit by the back door when he needs to go out and taps the glass door when he wants back in. Knows key words like walk, treat, kong, ball, peanut butter, kennel, bad, frick, motherfricker, sit, get'em.
same for our lab mix. also has an extending list of words/commands. but, to credit/fault (depends on your prospective here) will listen to my commands and not my wife's or son's same commands.
he knows, "outside", "puppies bed", "puppies kennel", "treat", " puppies medicine", "lay down", "sit", ect. and when i raise my voice to scold hi for barking at the delivery at the front door, runs straight to his kennel. he also knows our routine better then we do......

It would not surprise me that they are intentionally goading him into action. It would also not surprise me if certain democrats were behind it.
at this point it appears that Iran wants to be attacked because they want it to start a bigger war and they think this is the kick-off point
or
they are reading too much into the MSN/Dem talking points that trump has "lost" the war and they believe it to be true. i also wouldn't be surprised either if the Obama side is talking to Iran and pushing them this way as well, hoping that a war come mid-terms helps the Dem party, ant the expense of Iran.....
re: Knee Replacement Update/Question
Posted by tigeraddict on 5/11/26 at 9:56 am to Old Man and a Porch
My dad had both of his replaced a year apart and my mom had he left knee replaced last fall.
their doctor told them that were they were with respect to mobility at the 6 month point is were they would permanently end up.
both my parents had the "machine" machine at home that moved their leg out an in to constantly move the joint. dad only did that and his physical therapy appointments and didn't get full mobility
mom was the person you cant stop from moving so she was over doing things almost immediately, but she gained back most of her range of motion.

I wouldn't vote for a democrat in a Federal Election, nor for a statewide election.
But i would (and have voted for a democrat in a local election, including Kip Holden in his first election as mayor)
But since 95%+ of blacks are dems, then my options for voting are limited to mostly non-blacks

Wouldn't that take another constitutional amendment to make that change.....didn't we just get a decision that the VA legislature must follow specific procedures to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot (i believe the matter must be take up in two consecutive legislative sessions)
so none of these will go into effect to happen for the 2026 elections.....

Why do you think a lot of stores are offering free delivery
You get payment upfront and theft is non existent (for the store) if delivery takes a picture at the homeowners doorway.
