HERE WE GO AGAIN .... AND AGAIN .... AND AGAIN ....

 So, for those who do not follow, nor listen to the news, here's what's going on in the state of Virginia (VA) .... well, actually, it all started in TX - but doesn't it always seem to start there? - in TX, they had decided to redraw their voting districts ... and they based the NEED to draw on (a) new Census data which shouwed they had actually gained people in 10 yrs, and (b)switch around a few things.

Well, then CA (California) decided they were going to do the same thing since TX's new map gave the Republicans something like 5 new seats in the US House of Representatives - and they did that .... I think the case is pending ... but Gov. Newsom came right out and SAID outloud that that was the REASON behind the redistricting ... didn't try to hide it or nothing.

Then in April, the state of NC did the same thing - but they created a couple "black majority" counties .... and that lawsuit went all the way to the US Supreme Court.  The Court decided (6-3) that it was illegal to use RACE and the single reason to create a new district.

Which makes sense, if race is the ONLY reason you couldn't get a job, buy a home, attend a college/school, or get from point A to point B (aka pre-1963) then you would say you were being decriminated against .... and the same applies here.  NC tried to hide behind the Johnson Voting Rights Act - which was supposed to kill "Jim Crow" laws, but that's not this story right now ....

So, VA - they voted in a NEW governor ... a woman .... a Socialistic Democrat (that's what she said, not my words) .... who had said during campainging that she had NO INTENTION to do any type of Redistricting - in fact, she called it a stupid idea - but then after she got voted into office ....
BOOM!!!! Guess what happened?  Yup - she pushed though Redistricting ... turned VA from a 6-5 Democrat state to a 9-1 Democratic state .... yeah, those numbers represtent the number of Districts which might vote for one party or another.  They have one county in 5 different Districts - yup 5, what the heck!  How do you do that?

The people in the state's Congress said "It goes against the states constitution" and "this is nuts" but she pushed it through anyways - and threw it on a voters ticket .... it went before the people...
Who admitted, they had no idea which way to vote on the question because it was written so convellutedly on the ticket .... if you voted "Yes" it meant you did NOT want the redistricting, if you voted "NO" it meant you did .... it was so bacwards ... 
Or was that the other way around? ....
Any who - the vote came in and BOOM the redistricting PASSED .... hmm, interesting ... but the GOP/Republicans were there with a lawsuit at the ready, and took it to court.

The VA Supreme Court - not the US Supreme Court, very important to keep this in mind - said that it violated the State's Constitution So now, the Republicans are sitting back and going "Told You So".

So VA has been forced back into the original 6-5 districts ... for now - I suspect this likely will be fixed via state constitution here shortly ... but NOT before the Primaries for the mid-terms ... we will have to see.

Oops - that was a 6-5 Dem state, to a 9-1 Dem state .... sorry ... I think I fixed it though, and that makes more sense for the numbers (after all, why would the Repubs pass it?)

So - they added 4 more seats to the Dem side of the equation - simply because they could .... no "umrepresentated" people involved, no "movement of populations" involved ... simply a "numbers game".

Here's what the State Supreme Court said:

"This Violation irreparably undermines the integrety of the resulting referendum vote and renders it null and void"

Huh? but they added .... 

  " that means the maps, and effect, for the referendum must be used for the upcoming midterm elections."

The VA Attorney General says they are looking a EVERY legal pathway on the way forward

Geez, I would have thought you'd have done that BEFORE you "redistricted" but apparently, they did not .... better take a closer look at that law degree, governor.

This however is far from over ... CA and UT are still going to the Supreme courts ... and for the republican side of things - well, TX is settled, but there is still FL, MO, OH, and TN who are looking to redistrict before the mid-terms as well.

Why?

well, in FL they are saying it's because of all the new population which has moved into the state - they have settled in such a way that it throws the counts off in the districts.  Oh, we will have to have a different post on "counts", wait for that post ... 

But - it's not so much to reshuffle the deck at home, as much as it is to reshuffle the deck in DC ... yup, you see, the districts pick who they will send to Washington - and while they are supposed to represent the people in their district back home, and do what's best for them ... instead it has become about doing what's best for the Party, and that just isn't right.

This is how you end up with rich congressional members while their people are living in squawler.  How they can so easily close the government down without any regard for those who are supposed to be getting a paycheck .... how they are so far from the people, that they have NO IDEA what the heck is going on!

But - hopefully - someday soon - this will be straightened out, they will take off their blinders and take a good look around. See what their foolishness has done to the country.

WOW!!!

 So - for all of you out there who say it's just a "clump of cells", explain the LIGHT to me? I know it can be explained scientifically - but why is there a SPARK OF LIGHT? I what I'm asking ... 

Once more .... my mother was right . it is a MIRACLE which can't be explained.

GET READY FOR THE NEWEST DODGE .....

Well, maybe I'm over reacting .... you tell me.

There is an immate in one of the CAROLINA's ... don't remember if it's North or South .... not that it really matters for this post, but I will post a link for it at the bottom.

He shot and killed a police officer - but I don't remember the details .... dang I just read the story too .... and was found GUILTY by the jury - he had his day in Court - and then he was sentenced to death!

He has also shot and hurt a second officer as he was fleeing them .... so he OBVIOUSLY knew that what he did was, at the very least, wrong!  I'm guessing he knew what was going to come next.

So - he was sentenced to death ... then after exhausting all his appeals .... and he had quite a few, I'm sure .... he is able to convine two psychologists as well as a psychiatrist that he has SCHETZELPHRENIA (I probably mangled that one).

He told them that h
`    dIED 3 times already
       he believes he was already pardoned by the government
        he also said he had wings
`This guy is being allowed to get away with it too.

The judge on the case has ruled that he is just wacky enough to keep him from being executed.

WHAT?!?!?!

Yup - the case, by the sounds of it, is going to the Supreme Court to make the final decision ... Let's just hope he doesn't get sent to a local "facility" for care.

BUT ... So - here's a LINK to the story.  Geez - can you imagine being on this man's jury and finding out they've decided t5o vacate part of your deliberation???

UPDATE: KIDNAPPLING, NANCY GUTHERIE

The FBI has put out a statement about the Nancy Gutherie case .... granted it a lot of CYA, but there is a few new details as well.

Here is a LINK to the story I found onine .... again, not my story, I'm just shareing with you.

Just like last time, it should open a new tab on yiur ccomputer.

UPDATE/FOLLOW-UP: NANCY GUTHERIE - i HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN

Yeah, so there hasn't been a lot of information going up lately .... it's like Nancy has simply fallen off the face of the Earth like a nucler scientist (if you know, you know) .... but I have found a couple of stories.

One is about her son-in-law - the mysterius SIL - in which a couple videos has come out .... he is a teacher and in the video I saw, it looks like he is cooking something (they said it's ravioli) but if you look carefully, you don't actually see his face, just the food in a pan... but if he's holding the camera, that would make perfect sense.

I still say he's a suspect, even though the local police have said he's not.

and this article .... which talks about why we haven't heard from many of Nancy's CLOSE FRIENDS .... I had assumed she was just a quiet lady who spent most of her time at home, but apparently she was rather robust.

So we will have to see what happened.

So here's a LINK to that story on-line. It will open (at least I told it to) open another tab on your browser, so keep that in mind.

Let's all remember her - and pray she's okay.

A REPORTER WHO DOES HIS WORK

 Trust me when I say, finding a title for this post wasn't easy .... I didn't want to get this pulled for putting in something too snarky ... but the reporter who did this story did a GREAT job in coering it, so I just had to share.

This is the April 29, 2026 episode of the Crabby Coffee Shoppe on the Garage Logic youtube channel ... I had nothing to do with it, I'm just sharing it with y'all so you can see how badly Gov. Tim Walz LIES his butt off.

Despite what he says, he did NOTHING, not a damed thing, to help in ANY way to investigate these businesses who STOLE money out of the coffers of MN tax payers ... heck - he even added to it when he decided to take the SURPLUS and SPEND IT on FREE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH for ALL KIDS in the state of Minnesota, no matter how much money they parents made!!!!

So yes ... HIS kids got a free lunch, even though he makes over $150,000/yr ... as well as those of anyone who lives in Edina who earns over $500,000 .... along with the poor and middle class of the state.

So -- Here's the video ... enjoy - channel 5 is my preferred channel for news btw, I hope they NEVER go so far to the left that they lost their way ...

CAN YOU ANSWER THE QUESTION?

Holy Crap!!!!!!  Appearantly, you do NOT need to know anything about CIVILS or about GOVERNMENT BRANCHES to be a Sherrif in this man's county!

By the way ... I knew this .... I graduated in 1981 ... I had Mr. Christensen for Social Studies, Mr. Jockety for Government, and Mr. Chido for Civics class.

Now If I can remember this from 35 yrs. ago - why can't this man you has to be younger than I???

It has NOTHING to do with race, sex, gender, nor even religion/creed -- I paid f'ing ATTENTION in class (else my folks would have whooped my butt!))

THESE POOR WOMEN ....

 I feel so bad for these women ... at first I was all "well why would you continue to work for them if they did that to you?" - and it's a legitimate question.

BUT - today, Lonna in CA came our and gave a very legit story ... account of her experience.

Do I think Swalwell - current Senator for CA, was the leading candidate for CA governor (he dropped out this last weekend) - well, he has 5-6 woman claiming he did it ... some worse than otherers ... Lonna was terrible, hers is the only one I have heard thus far.

But as easy as it is to go "lynch him" or worse ... I think I should take a breath.

Did he do this?

In the court of Law, he still has his day coming.
In his married life - I hope she divorces him
In his political life - I'm going to guess that, like Franken, he's done.

And, yes, I guess I do believe these women ... unlike those accusing Bill Cosby, or Donald Trump - they didn't wait for decades to come forward. ALTHOUGH - it makes you wonder why they did wait so long ... I've heard NDAs might be an issue - that he had those working on his campaigns sign them, and told these ladies that the acts were covered by the NDA ...

which is does NOT, btw.

Just remember that ... no NDA, nor Waiver ... will EVER exclude acts against the law .... a Felony ...

I think that's about all I have to say for now ... this will be interesting to watch, but I feel for these gals.

And as horrid as it is to say - I am glad it's a democrat this time ... It's kind of like "now the shoe is on the other foot" time.

And, yeah, I know .... there's a case in TX where a senator had an "affair" with a woman (that's what he said) and the gal later committed suicide .... this will be another one to keep a close eye on.

His marriage? I'm guessing that's completely over.  His career in politics? God I hope it's over ... and while I don't know his political party, being since he is from TX, I'm going to guess he's a republican.
