I calculated the new Indiana Gerrymander based on different elections. It's a R9-0D map in 2024, but the 1st District becomes competitive if the nationwide results get closer:

1st District:

2024 Pres.: 🔴 R+12
2020 Pres.: 🔴 R+4

Democrats will also have an incumbent running in that district.

Let's not forget a time when political violence did not have any consequences:

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now."

ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Public pressure works. Bowing to bullies doesn’t.

Jimmy Kimmel’s return is a win — now Disney and ABC must stand firm in defending his First Amendment rights and those of every American.

When political power can silence speech, our democracy itself is at risk.

Have you ever wondered how differently Democrats and Republicans respond to incidents of political violence?
The answer is stunning...

Take a look at our comparison:

Only One Side is Trying to Stop Political Violence
Political Violence is spiraling. We examined how each Party responded to various political attacks. The statements show that one side is much less interested in unifying the country than the other.

The WSJ upstaged me!

They fabricated the Trump-Epstein story to draw attention away from my latest post, which already had like 10 views and would have certainly blown up if the crooks from the WSJ had not stolen the spotlight!

Germany just had an American Debacle
Electing Supreme Court Justices with a 2/3 majority is a formality in Germany. Last week, the CDU blocked the nomination of a judge for the first time. Is a culture war ahead?

NYT asked Trump how Ukraine weapon stop could happen without him knowing after he again said he doesn't know how it was:

“I would know, if a decision was made, I will know. I’ll be the first to know. In fact most likely I’d give the order, but I haven’t done that.”

What the ...?

A lot of people on here are comparing Trump 2.0 to the Nazis.

So I, as a German, felt compelled to take a close look at how America's democratic decay may look like.

This seems urgent after the newest arrests

Is America the New Russia?
Within a week, masked ICE agents have arrested two Democratic politicians, likely without consequences. Is the US on its way to becoming the new Russia, or something much worse?

In an Interview with the renowned German newspaper "Die Zeit", journalist Michael Wolff accused Donald Trump of being Jeffrey Epstein's BFF (best friend forever) for more than a decade.

Wolff claims that Epstein showed him pictures that show Donald Trump with countless (half-naked) young women.

The "TACO-trade" thing is the funniest and perhaps most memorable thing that Democrats and the media can use against Trump.

It's catchy, easy to understand, and enrages Trump more than anything else

Here's my own definition of MAGA:

MAGA

1. A political movement disguised as patriotism, driven by misinformation, fear, and loyalty to a single figure rather than the Constitution.

2. A call to “Make America Great Again” by turning back progress, ignoring facts, and silencing dissent.
