Blacks still crying "racism"

Tennessee's House minority leader ties Democrats' tantrums to numerology and Obama

Tennessee state Republicans passed a new congressional map last week that, applying the logic of the U.S. Supreme Court's recent Callais ruling, carves up a Democrat-held district that was the product of a racial gerrymander.

They managed to do so despite obstruction and gross incivility from their Democrat colleagues.

Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, for instance, walked around the chamber blowing a bullhorn in the faces of lawmakers and subjecting them to potential noise-induced hearing loss. Jones — a Democrat who was caught on film throwing a traffic cone at a driver during a 2020 Black Lives Matter blockade — also set fire to a printout of the Confederate flag and repeatedly accused Republicans of racism.

Justin Jones says Tennessee Republicans are reviving “Confederacy 2.0” by targeting Black political power through redistricting and racial intimidation tactics.



The U.S. Supreme Court's Callais decision heavily weakened federal protections under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), sparking immediate mid-decade congressional redistricting across Tennessee.

The high court ruled that states cannot overly rely on race to dictate legislative maps, effectively allowing partisan politics to guide redrawn boundaries.

This decision completely reshaped Tennessee's electoral landscape and triggered significant legal battles.

The Redistricting War

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee Signs Redistricting Bill to Carve Up State’s Lone Blue District

The proposal splits the Democratic stronghold of Memphis into three U.S. congressional seats.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed a new U.S. congressional map into law on May 7. The legislation will redistrict and break up the state’s only current Democratic district ahead of the midterms.

Lee signed the legislation hours after it passed the state House 64–25, with three voting “present,” and the state Senate 25–5.

The proposal splits the Democratic stronghold of Memphis into three U.S. congressional seats, up from one, currently held by Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.).

All of Tennessee’s nine congressional districts will now likely lean Republican, so the only Democratic voice representing the Volunteer State could be voted out in the midterms.

Cohen—who currently represents District 9, covering parts of Shelby County including the city of Memphis, and Tipton County— called redistricting efforts “a blatant, corrupt power grab that would destroy the Black community’s and [the] entire city’s voice,” in a May 6 post on X.

Three Democrats Incite anti-gun activists in Tennessee Legislature Chamber

Democrats Storm State Capitol to Protest Gun–They Are Now Regretting It

Unsure of the headline in this article as Democrats usually don't regret anything

"In the aftermath of the horrific school shooting in Nashville, TN, Democrats are back on their gun control bandwagon. They are ignoring the fact that this shooter was a transgender targeting Christians. Instead, they are trying to use the death of children to push their radical, unconstitutional agenda.

How far will Democrats go to ignore the facts and push their insane plans?

Three Democrat Tennessee state lawmakers joined anti-gun activists in storming the state Capitol soon after the school shooting. It appears they were encouraging gun control protesters to violate the law and invade the government building. Huh, I guess Democrats don’t mind storming a Capitol, as long as it’s for one of their causes.

I guess getting hammered for storming a Capitol can work both ways?"

Tennessee looking to pass law on Gender

Bill Defining Sex as Biological Gender Passes Tennessee Senate, Moves to House

Think about it...a law has to be passed to define male and female. It's unbelievable that a government actually has to pass a law on gender but this is what has happened in our country with these crazy, out of their mind liberals.

Tennessee must pass a law to protect sanity

Forty years ago, Tennessee passed The Butler Act that made it illegal for public schools to teach evolution and it remained in force for 40 years. I used to live in Tennessee and went to college there. Back then, residents in the state were very religious and trying to live in the way they believed God would wish them to live. Residents to this day still believe in God and country.

The Butler Act may be defunct, but the debate between creationist and evolutionary proponents continues unabated to this day especially in Bible Belt areas of our country.

Read about it... and the possible loss of federal funds if this passes in Tennessee.

100 Illegals won big lawsuit

In Rare Victory, Illegals Prevail in Suit Over Meat Plant Raid

"The workers accused the government of racial profiling and excessive force. The agreement is very likely the first class settlement over an immigration enforcement operation at a work site, experts say. The far left Southern Poverty Law Center was involved.

In April 2018, armed agents with the Homeland Security Department and the Internal Revenue Service burst into the Southeastern Provision meatpacking plant in Bean Station, a rural town in northeastern Tennessee, and rounded up all but one Latino worker, including at least one U.S. legal resident and one American citizen. The only exception was a man who had hidden in a freezer.

The operation followed an I.R.S. investigation that had found evidence that the owner of the company, located outside the city of Morristown, Tenn., was paying plant workers in cash to evade taxes.

Nearly 100 illegals in Tennessee have reached a $1.17 million settlement against the U.S. government and federal agents, who they said used racial profiling and excessive force during the operation, stepping on a person’s neck and punching another in the face."
