The redistricting battle being fought across the nation has caused a sea change, and now, it's having a notable effect in Tennessee. We saw Democratic lawmakers melting down a week ago over the changes, with state Rep. Justin Pearson (D-Memphis) getting into a disturbing exchange with a state trooper. The redistricting redrew a black majority district, the 9th district, which is currently represented by Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen (TN-09). Cohen is not black. He's held the seat for 19 years, since 2007. He's had black Republicans run against him. (X) Now it looks like Cohen is giving up the ghost. He announced that he wouldn't be running again. Cohen said

it was the "Harold Ford" seat for 22 years under the senior, then 10 years under Harold Ford Junior, Cohen ran when Jr ran for senate and brother Jake Ford was running to fill the family seat, and Cohen was able to win it. He immediately stated that he would be joining the "Congressional Black Caucus....BUT....THE CBC instantly publicly announced "NO WAY!" If he had stayed in....the main advert against him would be of him using a prop during a house hearing of a KFC Bucket, and waving a drumstick around

It’s long been conceded that the president controls foreign policy, although Congress, as a body, has the power to limit that control. Currently, Trump’s foreign policy is to prevent Cuba from having access to oil. The point of this embargo is to bring the regime to breaking point—and to encourage its beleaguered people to rise up—ending one of the world’s most evil regimes, which has long been a threat on our southern flank. However, there’s one person in Congress who thinks this is a really bad idea: Rep. Pramila Jayapal (Socialist-WA). To that end, Jayapal admittedly pursued her own foreign policy, separate from any congressional action, to get oil to Cuba.

See, she’s a Dutch citizen — and according to the laws of her country, she’s 5-feet-10 and has blonde hair. (All Dutch people are tall and blonde. Hawaiians are tiny and have dark hair. True story: I had to crouch my hulking 5-foot, 11-inch body, just to fit beneath our Hawaiian shower.) Then we moved to Los Angeles. Talk about a total role reversal: We’d go to the mall… and she’d just vanish. Back then, LA was the land of the 5-foot-10 blondes! (Sometimes,

The Democrats are so upset they're losing the redistricting battle. I wrote earlier on Saturday on how Kamala Harris is now promoting a slew of bad ideas in response, including going after the Electoral College, packing the Supreme Court, and making Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., new U.S. states. It just shows that to the Dems, it isn't about the rule of law or the Constitution: it's about how they can get control and/or hold onto it. What makes the Democrats' meltdown even better, and puts some icing on the cake, is just how much money they spent on the losing effort attempting to add four seats in Virginia.

The redistricting battle has been a real window into how far Democrats are willing to go to get - or keep - power. The meltdowns have been epic. Perhaps one of the funniest responses was from Kamala Harris. She keeps trying to remain relevant, likely to stoke her hopes for a 2028 presidential run. But having the queen of the empty word salads trying to rally Democrats by claiming there are "no bad ideas" is quite something. She then went viral for pushing a bunch of... bad ideas.

We must end this madness. The fact that Americans are now expected to accept taxpayer-funded “transing” of people—especially vulnerable children—as legitimate public policy is beyond absurd. How did we ever arrive at a point where the government not only tolerates but also financially supports puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible surgeries? Regardless of where Americans stand on broader cultural debates, taxpayers should never be forced to bankroll permanent medical interventions that carry enormous physical, emotional, and financial consequences. It is irrational, irresponsible, and deeply dangerous. Let’s be honest about what makes this so insane. We do not use public dollars to help people smoke more cigarettes. We do not subsidize alcoholism.

Inherent Right to Life for … Wild Rice? 9 replies

Minnesota Democrats are advancing legislation that would recognize an “inherent right” for uncultivated wild rice to “exist and thrive,” even as state law continues to uphold expansive abortion “rights.” Senate File 3749 (SF3749), introduced by Senator Mary Kunesh (D-New Brighton) on February 19, 2026, would amend Minnesota’s statute describing the state’s official grain and add language recognizing such a right. The proposal comes three years after Governor Tim Walz signed the Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act into law on January 31, 2023. The law codifies abortion as a “fundamental right” in Minnesota statute, and allows the procedure at any stage when deemed necessary for the mother’s health. Wild rice has been Minnesota’s

We are so lucky that Donald Trump and JD Vance defeated Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. In addition to all the reasons that Kamala Harris was awful, Minnesota Gov. Walz made it all worse with what a joke he was as a candidate. If you become known for the ridiculous things you say rather than for doing anything consequentially good, that could be a problem. Walz did become known for something consequential, something consequentially bad. He dropped out of running again for governor after the Minnesota fraud scandal exploded. He helped demonize Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and incited radicals in his state against law enforcement.

Even though this will be his last year as governor due to term limits, Ron DeSantis (R) remains a target of Florida's Democrats due in large part to his effectiveness, the fact that he's unapologetically conservative, and his standing firm on the issues that are important to him and a majority of Floridians. So it was no surprise that amid the marathon session that produced a new congressional map approved by lawmakers on the day of the Louisiana v. Callais SCOTUS ruling, and which DeSantis promptly signed into law, some Democrat state lawmakers staged temper tantrums to protest the map's supposed lack of fairness in representation.
