I just had a conversation with two of my friends here in California explaining how the North has repeatedly used every tool in its disposal to reduce Southern representation from the very beginning of the formation of the country. (I.e., 3/5 Compromise).

I then went on to explain how this philosophy carries through with the way the VRA is implemented and targeted against Southern states specifically through guaranteeing race-based representation against the will of the state governments and their peoples.

That perspective blew their minds.

Swallowell: Possible Dem Strategy

Posted by bluestem75 on 4/14/26 at 2:45 pm
Clearly, polls for California governor are not shifting enough to get a Dem candidate in first or second place in the jungle primary,

Ergo, Swallowell gets ousted so the other candidates can cannibalize his votes.

Which is why we went to the theater to see it this past week. I’m voting with my dollars to say “We want risk-taking, original material.”
Surprised you lost interest in Landman already. I can’t wait for Season 3.

Landman and The Madison are home runs.

He’s sending a message to Hollywood with Landman: if you don’t want conservatives to watch your crap, fine. I’ll take that audience and make millions.

With The Madison, he’s flipping the typical narrative that makes anyone living in flyover states dull and unenlightened and showing coastal folks how people in flyover states actually view them. He’s touting their lives as meaningless because they’re so disconnected from themselves, others, and the rest of the country.
This is why only men should be school principals. Can you see a woman being willing to take a bullet from an active shooter?
The Favourite—while a lot of the action is played up for laughs, it’s really sad how they all manipulate Queen Anne to get what they want. Everyone ends up unhappy.

It takes humans quite a bit of humility to say, “Oops I was wrong,” on even the most mundane of mistakes. Even harder when you’ve wrapped yourself whole worldview around one.

Do you care if this EO is illegal


Do you care that a political party can continue to hold the nation hostage for days after an election so that a said party can engineer the result they want under the guise of “found mail-in ballots”?

Do you not find that suspicious at all?

I guess you like the Al Gore method: keep counting til I win then declare the counting over.
They always conveniently leave out that the Senate refused to pass the House bill that would’ve funded all of DHS a month ago. That kind of started this whole thing.

They have to scan your boarding pass at TSA.

Really? I chopped onions all the way through this one. Buckley earned every bit of that Oscar.

I couldn’t get through Poor Things. It just got grosser and grosser and lost me when Emma Stone showed her hoohah to a couple of boys.

Pfeiffer is coming for that Emmy with Episode 6. Damn. Best work of her career.

So… the Thai government stopped discounting gas and it returned to the market price?

People are rushing to get it at the cheaper price while they can.

Not sure how this is a global problem when a government was manipulating its own market with subsidies.
Coogler just won an Oscar for writing a blockbuster original story…

…but needs to reboot X-Files instead of creating something original.
